I'm having a problem with the listpicker (SelectionMode="Multiple"!!!). When i go to fullmode it doesnt show "done", "cancel" icons like if the images were not in my project.
On full screen mode i only have this xaml code
<DataTemplate x:Key="listPickerFullModeItemTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontSize="30" Height="40" FontFamily="Segoe WP"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<toolkit:ListPicker Header="Floral" SelectionMode="Multiple" FullModeHeader="Floral" CacheMode="BitmapCache" x:Name="floralListPicker" Margin="0,0,12,0" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource listPickerItemTemplate}" FullModeItemTemplate="{StaticResource listPickerFullModeItemTemplate}"/>
Code is ok, everything works fine but the icons doesn't show, actually it shows as the default app bar missing icon image. I copied the images from toolkit sample but no go.
anyone know whats wrong?
anyway to force icons on template?
thanks.
Do you need to set the Build Action of the icons to "Content" in their properties window?
I found out the solution by exploring the sample solution of the toolkit.
If you don't use a special page for the fullmode selection, you need to include the following images to your project:
Create one subfolder named Toolkit.Content (not ToolKit/Content).
Then, include the files named as this : ApplicationBar.Cancel.png and ApplicationBar.Check.png.
Mark them to be generated as content.
That's all! Your icons should now been displayed.
Hope this helps you !

So i wanted to use a costum font on my uwp app, i download the font from google fonts then added to the folder Fonts the file as been set as content and the file gets copied on the output directory everytime which i guess is the app package?
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Cantami Diva" FontSize="72"/>
<TextBlock Text="Cantami Diva" FontSize="72" FontFamily="ms-appx:///Assets/Fonts/Arvo-Regular.tff#Arvo"/>
</StackPanel>
here is the problem, the second textblock where the font is applied is getting displayed the same as the first, i guess it cant find the font, but if i install the font on my computer it works perfectly, is there no way to use the font without having the user to install it?
The True Type Font extension is .TTF not .TFF
I did a quick test and after changing the typo you had it worked fine for me.
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Cantami Diva" FontSize="24"/>
<TextBlock Text="Cantami Diva" FontSize="24" FontFamily="ms-appx:///Assets/Fonts/Arvo-Regular.ttf#Arvo"/>
</StackPanel>
I have a Carousel View that works really well.
<my:Carousel x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="Carousel" IsDoubleTapEnabled="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource ces}}" Margin="21,730,33,37" ItemMargin="20" ItemDepth="200" ItemRotationX="0" ItemRotationY="0" ItemRotationZ="0" InvertPositive="False" PointerPressed="Carousel_PointerPressed" SelectionChanged="Carousel_SelectionChanged" ManipulationStarted="Carousel_ManipulationStarted" >
<my:Carousel.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Bilder">

I want to remove the border if the selection changed of a item (see picture below). How can I manage this? I know there is something with a Storyboard, but i dont know how to use it.
Please help me.
EDIT
If i try it with sample pictures which i created self with paint, is there no border. But as you can see the shoes does not have any border (See Pic 1 and 4). So why he add this border? Anyone know this issue?
your Images are to large you Need to resize it to 250/170 and the broder will be gone.
I want to add a contextual menu to a button from the appBar(bottom appBar). My min SDK is Windows 8.0. I would like something like this popup from MSDN:
Unfortunately I cannot use MenuFlyout since it is available only from Windows 8.1+, so I want to achieve this menu in another way. If you know how it can be done, please tell me.
Below is my bottom bar:
<common:LayoutAwarePage.BottomAppBar>
<AppBar x:Name="bottomAppBar" Padding="10,0,10,0" DataContext="{Binding}">
<Grid>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Button Style="{StaticResource EditAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="EditQuote_Click"/>
<Button Style="{StaticResource RemoveAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="RemoveQuote_Click"/>
<Button Style="{StaticResource AddAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="AddQuote_Click"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<Button Style="{StaticResource HelpAppBarButtonStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</AppBar>
You should take a look at the Flyout Settings sample at:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Settings-Flyout-eceaafea
Or if you are targeting Windows 8.1, flyouts have become much easier, check the MenuFlyout element:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/bg182878.aspx#menuflyout
I would look at the Callisto library on Nuget. It's built by Tim Heuer who's one of the guys working on the xaml team at Microsoft and fills in some of the gaps in the 8.0 control set. It includes a Menu Flyout control that looks not that coincidentally like the controls added in 8.1.
The samples app in the project includes an example of what you're looking for (a Menu Flyout from an App Bar).
Edit: If you're targeting Windows 8.1 with your project then the Menu Flyout control is now built into the platform.
I'm having a problem with the autocompletebox from the toolkit for windows phone. I bind it to some data, then when i press it and start typing, it discovers some items but they are displayed wrong (the list is shown separated from the box, and also if i click on any item, nothing happens. If i click where the item would be supposed to be (for example, right on the top of the box), then it gets selected. It looks like a rendering problem (bug?)) but perhaps i'm doing something wrong. Here's the code for the box :
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate1">
<ContentControl Content="{Binding Name}" Margin="8,7"/>
</DataTemplate>
<toolkit:AutoCompleteBox ItemsSource="{Binding}" x:Name="txtSelectValues" MinWidth="250" Margin="0,0,0,0" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DataTemplate1}" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
Found it. It's a bug with the AutoCompleteBox. When inside a scrollviewer control, the dropdown gets messed up and displayed in an incorrect position
Its not just that is also to do with being placed inside of a Pivot/Panaroma as well as the scrollviewer, the silverlight gurus have stated they haven't a timeline for the fix for the Pivot control, and there is a nasty hack
http://silverlight.codeplex.com/workitem/7574
I think the answer might just be that you shouldn't be using a ContentControl directly used like this. Try using something like a TextBlock instead - e.g.:
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate1">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="8,7"/>
</DataTemplate>
If that's not the answer, then try pulling back to a simple example - especially removing all the Margin's, Width's, Alignment's, etc - then put them back in one-by-one to work out and understand what is causing the effect you are seeing.
I have a situation here. I have a page containing a ListBox. The ListBox is populated with Items if it is able to fetch the data from a web service. Now when the user doesn't have network connectivity on his phone or the webservice doesn't respond back with Ok status, I want to show the user a pop-up with an option to Retry or select Ok to stay on the same page (though it sounds dumb). Now for this I used a Canvas:
<Canvas Name="Nonetwork" Height="150" Width="280" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="DodgerBlue" Visibility="Collapsed" Margin="111,160,92,160" >
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="120" Width="280" Text="No Network is currently availabe" TextAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="White" FontSize="28" />
<Button Margin="30, 80" Height="60" Width="100" Content="OK" FontSize="18" Click="Ok_Click"/>
<Button Margin="150, 80" Height="60" Width="100" Content="Retry" FontSize="18" Click="Retry_Click"/>
</Canvas>
Well as most of you experienced guys would have guessed, the canvas is buried inside the listbox and is not accessible when there is no network connectivity. So I have a blank page with the canvas but the user is not able to click on Ok or Retry. Please help
Please do let me know if there is any other approach to solve this problem. I tried Popup but I cant Navigate to the main page from a pop-up since that is a user control page. Any help is higly appreciated
Well, I placed my Canvas below the ListBox and the problem was solved. I didn't know that positioning of the controls in the XAML would have so much effect ...
The order in which elements are rendered in Silverlight is determined firstly by where they appear in the visual object hierarchy and secondly by their ZIndex property.
The Canvas has a third attached property named ZIndex that you can use to override the default layering of elements. Although this Canvas.ZIndex attached property is defined by the Canvas class, it actually works with any type of panel.
You can also try Canvas.ZIndex property:
Canvas.ZIndex Attached Property
What you do is a wrong practice and not at all recommended.
ChildWindow is the class you should use to display such kind of dialog.
Using a Popup is also another approach you can use.
NOTE: I know the simplest approach would be to use MessageBox.Show(), but it would create a popup out of silverlight frame and does not allow theming/styling and other customizations.
