Is there any way to add back button, more options button like (log out, help, manage) to our outlook add-ons.I googled it, but end up with no answers relevant to that. Currently, I'm doing it by placing images of back button below the plugin title panel.
I expect this to be on the title panel so that it looks better.is there any ways to do that?
Thanks in advance !
Using command bar, tab bar and back button are the recommended UX design pattern for navigation in Office add-ins.

Hi does anybody knows if I can make a button in Xamarin Forms that opens a small dropdown menu? I did this in android studio but I can't find a way how this could work in Xamarin.
It should look like this:
And like this if the button is clicked:
And the Button should not be in the navigation bar because this page don't have one.
So if anybody could help me I would be very grateful and sorry for my bad english.
The closest API in Xamarin that does that is to display a pop-up using DisplayActionSheet, but the dropdown menu will be at the bottom of the screen. Or you can use a Picker (link to documentation).
If you want to implement something that look exactly like the image in your post, you can create a StackLayout that contains a few buttons, and show it when the drop down menu button is clicked.
i think that you can do it not directly but if we let some things be together we can achieve it, you have to add toolbar item for the button and for the menu list it's a popup page that has transparent background and list menu on the top right !
I am building an app in Visual studio with crossed platform in Xamarin.Forms.
I have been trying to change the back arrow button in the navigation UI to an image in stead of the arrow, but I haven't found any good examples.
Is there anyone here who can help me?
Back arrow button in navigation bar is default feature. I think it can't be changed. If you want to change it then you should use a custom navigation bar.

Unfortunately want you want to do is impossible. Outlook views always require a list of items to be displayed (whether it's a Table, Card, List view, etc.). The only UI elements you can control are the Reading Pane and the Folder Pane.
There is no way to customize the built-in UI. The Outlook extensibility model doesn't provide anything for that out of the box. As a workaround you can develop an adjacent Outlook window where you can display whatever you need. See Creating Adjacent Windows In Outlook for more information.
Is there a way to show text along with the icons permanently rather than when a user clicks the "..."?
Or should I instead just use standard buttons instead of the application bar?
As far as i know there is no way to achieve what you are telling.. the user should click on the "..." to see the menu...

I would say, if you have maxium two buttons to display on the page, you will probably be fine with standard text buttons, like the screenshot below from the windows phone marketplace. However, you probably don't want any icons on them.
Also try putting a rectangle behind the buttons so it looks like an application bar. :)
I want to write a Firefox extension that acts exactly like the built-in RSS feed scanner (as an exercise). It should do the following:
On each new page / tab load, it should scan the content of the page for RSS feeds
If there are RSS feeds in the page, it should put a button in the location bar that the user can click
On clicking the button, a speech bubble should appear under the button (the way a speech bubble appears under the bookmarks star when you click on it), with information on the feeds and buttons to subscribe to them
So my main questions are:
What is the process to run specific content scripts for specific pages?
What is the process to use the results of those scripts to update the speech bubble for each location bar button for each tab?
Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to do in Firefox what Page Actions are in Google Chrome.
To clarify, I want to replicate this functionality in Firefox: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/pageAction.html
Please help! :)
This question is similar to this question:
how to have tab-specific xul control with firefox
to have tab specific control. Usually (or maybe I am wrong),the newly added control is the same one across all the different tabs. Change from any tab will change its appearance in all tabs.
still looking for solutions or ideas.
