My Code is below, for some reason when i snap the window to any side(left or right) something weird happens and the stuff in the ListView Disappears. I'm quite sure something's going wrong in the xaml, but i can't figure out what :/

You should try to edit this in Blend, it is great for working on UIs.
When you open up the page in question, select the device tab at the top left, select "Snapped" in view, and if you tick the checkbox "Enable state recording", you can edit the way the listbox looks when in snapped view. It's likely that the project already had some visual states defined for snapped view.
To get to Blend, you right click the project and select "edit in Blend"

this is my code:
<CommandBar DefaultLabelPosition="Right" IsOpen="True">
<CommandBar.Content>
<AppBarButton Icon="Account" Label="Test 1"></AppBarButton>
</CommandBar.Content>
<AppBarButton Icon="Accept" Label="Test 2"/>
</CommandBar>
and this is the result what I got:
So now how I trigger that the label are on the right? DefaultLabelPosition doesn't effect the content values.
I want to create a toolbar like in WPF or WinForms.
Greetz
There are few things to note here.
1) DefaultLabelPosition can be used in apps targeting Anniversary Update. So if you want to use this for apps targeting previous versions, it would not work.
2) Irrespective of point above, CommandBar.Content is by itself a separate presenter with AppBarButton.
How can i get this working?
You can create a style template from default AppBarButton Template and design your ContentRoot as required.
Below is the Grid that I changed while playing around sometime before.
<Grid x:Name="ContentRoot" MinHeight="{ThemeResource AppBarThemeMinHeight}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="Content" AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView="Raw" Content="{TemplateBinding Icon}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="20" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextLabel" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" FontSize="12" FontFamily="{TemplateBinding FontFamily}" Margin="5,0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" TextAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{TemplateBinding Label}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
Also Style has VisualState Compact which hides the label text on AppBar Close so comment this out
and then assign this style to your buttons.
<Page.BottomAppBar>
<CommandBar IsOpen="True">
<CommandBar.Content>
<AppBarButton Icon="Account" Label="Test 1" Style="{StaticResource RightAlignAppBarButton}"/>
</CommandBar.Content>
<AppBarButton Icon="Accept" Label="Accept" Style="{StaticResource RightAlignAppBarButton}" />
</CommandBar>
</Page.BottomAppBar>
This is the output
Here is the full style for your reference.
<Style x:Key="RightAlignAppBarButton" TargetType="AppBarButton">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{ThemeResource AppBarButtonBackground}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource AppBarButtonForeground}"/>

You can play around with few other properties and get the output as desired.
I had the same issue, so I put together two CommandBars side by side:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<CommandBar DefaultLabelPosition="Right">
... Left aligned AppBarButtons ...
</CommandBar>
<CommandBar Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" DefaultLabelPosition="Right">
... Right aligned AppBarButtons ...
</CommandBar>
</Grid>
While not perfect, it worked decently for me before and after collapsing:
Recently i learned how to use the VisualStateManager. I was able to create a custom toggle button with point over triggers. im having a problem now with Programmatically changing Textbox text within the template.
Before i was able to change the information like this
{
await App.MobileService.GetTable<UserProfiles>().ToCollectionAsync();
userprofileitems = await UserProfilesTable
.Where(user => user.Email == MyApp.App.LoggedinUseremail)
.ToCollectionAsync();
Uri ProfilePhotoUri = new Uri(userprofileitems[0].ProfilePhotoURL, UriKind.Absolute);
ImageSource imgSource = new BitmapImage(ProfilePhotoUri);
UserProfilePhoto.ImageSource = imgSource;
UserFirstName.Text = userprofileitems[0].FirstName;
UserLastName.Text = userprofileitems[0].LastName;
}
Now i have set the Toggle button with a StaticResource pointing to the style in App.xaml Which naturally stops my Programmatic code from working correctly.

Is there anyway to access and set the information to the Style Programmatically.
I ended up figuring this one out myself. I learned how to create customcontrols and create one that inherited from the ToggleButton. I was able to create custom dependency properties to bind the Image and Text Stings to.
My UI contains some listboxes. I want to change the highlighting colour to transparent, but don't know how to. If I select an item, the background of the box changes to white, and remains like that until I click somewhere else.
Changing the SelectedIndex property to -1 didn't help me.
I've been googling this for hours; I apologize if there's another question explaining this that I couldn't find.
I think the solution is to change the highlighting colour to transparent but I don't understand how to implement that.
This is the XAML Code of my Listbox:
<ListBox x:Name="DirectionsBox" ItemsSource="{Binding Changed_Items}" Margin="230,109,940,0" SelectionChanged="directionSelectionChanged" BorderBrush="#FF4EF529" Background="Black" Foreground="White" Height="634" VerticalAlignment="Top" PointerExited="mouseout">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding HighwayDirection}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
This question is related to WinRT App right ? Try the following solution. Copy the following ListBoxItemStyle and add it to the resources of its parent based on the scope you needed.
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>

Here I have changed colors in PointerOver VisualState. Similarly you can change other state colors too.
In the Full screen Landscape view, I have a Gridview control to display data, I want to convert the Gridview to Listview when change the view to snapped, after researching for a long time, still doesn't find a article or a thread to introduce this. Anyone can help?
have your see the windows 8 app store sample in vs2012 (GroupedItemsPage.xaml) .?

I'm trying to plan an mvvm based infrastructure, i decided that the view will be bounded directly to the entities through the vm. (the vm will hold the entity reference, and binding will be o entity.propertyName...)
now i got a problem, when user start editing fields in one view, i wanna lock(make readonly) all other view that bound to the entity being under edit.
so my question is:
what changes do i need to do in my design for having the ability to know who(what view) started editing first, and when he finished.. and how to know about changed that came not from the ui(for not locking anything)
First you'll have to define exactly what it means for user to be "editing" an entity.
What action on the user's part signals they are beginning to edit an entity? Clearly when someone types something in a TextBox bound to a model field they are editing the entity. But what if someone clicks a button in the view that clears a property value in the model or sets it to a predefined value. Is that considered "editing" the entity? What if they change the settings of the view so that it shows fewer options and a ComboBox switches the value in the model to a new value because the old value is no longer listed?
What action on the user's part signals they are done editing an entity? Are they done when the focus leaves the control they are on? When the focus leaves the view? When they click "Ok" or "Save"?
Depending on the answers to these questions, several simple solutions present themselves. I'll explain one simple answer. If it doesn't apply please clarify the answers to the above questions.
Supposing:
Any change made to a model object except a data refresh from the database is considered editing, whether it be done with a button, checkbox, etc
The view that contains the focus is considered to be the one who is making the change
"Editing" ends when the view loses focus or the user saves the data.
Then the following will work:
Add a "Reloading" property either as a static property or somewhere within your model
In your data reloading code, set this property "true" and in a finally block set it "false" again
In your model object (or in a data structure shared between your view models and mapped from the model using a weak dictionary), add a property that contains the view model of the view that is currently editing the entity
In your view, add a PropertyChanged handler to your model object when the view model is attached
In the handler, if: a. The Reloading flag is false, b. No view is currently editing the entity, and c. This view's IsKeyboardFocusWithin is true, then record the fact that this view is currently editing the entity
In every view model, attach a handler to the "CurrentlyEditorView" property mentioned in step 3 (either directly or through the separate data structure). Whenever this propety changed, if it is non-null and not the current view model, set an inherited "Locked" property causing the view to lock.
In the view, add a LostFocus event handler that checks if the model's current view is this one, and if so clears it.
Also add a handler for the Save command that does the same thing.
It would really depend on your program structure. I have some similar requirements and I did this in my primaryshell view...

Basically I databound my visualstatemanager to a property on my primary viewmodel that would trigger various visual states depending on an enum I created. I got the best help for doing that from Karl Shifflets Stuff Application.
An option would be to use an EventAggegator or use the Mediator pattern to alert other view models that a particular entity instance is under edit. Those viewmodels can set a property IsReadonly = true which can be bound in xaml to make the controls readonly.
Just rasie an out of edit event to tell those viewmodels that it is no longer in reaonly mode.
If you are binding directly to the entity it should be implementing INotifyPropertyChanged which your view model can listen to in order to detect the first edit taking place.
