UWP: Disabling Tooltips for MediaTransportControls - Element - windows

I am trying to simply disable the tooltips for <MediaTransportControls> elements. However, the tooltip still shows as can be seen in this screenshot.
Using <ToolTipService> has no effect whatsoever on the Tooltip shown. The tooltips show for all elements in the MediaTransportControl as is shown in this screenshot of ToolTip:

Currently, ToolTipService does not provide this method to disable ToolTip. For your requirement, you could use SetToolTip method to set all elements tooltip as null in the MediaTransportControls. And you could use VisualTreeHelper to find all child element. And I also create a MediaTransportControlsExtension class that you could use directly.
public static class MediaTransportControlsExtension
{
public static void DisableTootip(this DependencyObject control)
{
int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(control);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(control, i);
ToolTipService.SetToolTip(child, null);
DisableTootip(child);
}
}
}
Usage
Please note, you need invoke this method after all element initialized.
private void MainMPE_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MainMPE.TransportControls.DisableTootip();
}

CharmListView Infinite Scroll

I need basically an event that triggers at each 200 records loaded, so more data can be loaded until the end of data.
I tried to extend CharmListCell and using the method updateItem like this:
#Override
public void updateItem(Model item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
currentItem = item;
if (!empty && item != null) {
update();
setGraphic(slidingTile);
} else {
setGraphic(null);
}
System.out.println(getIndex());
}
But the System.out.println(getIndex()); method returns -1;
I would like to call my backend method when the scroll down gets the end of last fetched block and so on, until get the end of data like the "infinite scroll" technique.
Thanks!
The CharmListCell doesn't expose the index of the underlying listView, but even if it did, that wouldn't be of much help to find out if you are scrolling over the end of the current list or not.
I'd suggest a different approach, which is also valid for a regular ListView, with the advantage of having the CharmListView features (mainly headers and the refresh indicator).
This short sample, created with a single view project using the Gluon IDE plugin and Charm 5.0.0, shows how to create a CharmListView control, and fill it with 30 items at a time. I haven't provided a factory cell, nor the headers, and for the sake of simplicity I'm just adding consecutive integers.
With a lookup, and after the view is shown (so the listView is added to the scene) we find the vertical ScrollBar of the listView, and then we add a listener to track its position. When it gets closer to 1, we simulate the load of another batch of items, with a pause transition that represents a heavy task.
Note the use of the refresh indicator. When new data is added, we scroll back to the first of the new items, so we can keep scrolling again.
public class BasicView extends View {
private final ObservableList<Integer> data;
private CharmListView<Integer, Integer> listView;
private final int batchSize = 30;
private PauseTransition pause;
public BasicView() {
data = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
listView = new CharmListView<>(data);
setOnShown(e -> {
ScrollBar scrollBar = null;
for (Node bar : listView.lookupAll(".scroll-bar")) {
if (bar instanceof ScrollBar && ((ScrollBar) bar).getOrientation().equals(Orientation.VERTICAL)) {
scrollBar = (ScrollBar) bar;
break;
}
}
if (scrollBar != null) {
scrollBar.valueProperty().addListener((obs, ov, nv) -> {
if (nv.doubleValue() > 0.95) {
addBatch();
}
});
addBatch();
}
});
setCenter(new VBox(listView));
}
private void addBatch() {
listView.setRefreshIndicatorVisible(true);
if (pause == null) {
pause = new PauseTransition(Duration.seconds(1));
pause.setOnFinished(f -> {
int size = data.size();
List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = size; i < size + batchSize; i++) {
list.add(i);
}
data.addAll(list);
listView.scrollTo(list.get(0));
listView.setRefreshIndicatorVisible(false);
});
} else {
pause.stop();
}
pause.playFromStart();
}
}
Note also that you could benefit from the setOnPullToRefresh() method, at any time. For instance, if you add this:
listView.setOnPullToRefresh(e -> addBatch());
whenever you go to the top of the list and drag it down (on a mobile device), it will make another call to load a new batch of items. Obviously, this is the opposite behavior as the "infinite scrolling", but it is possible as well with the CharmListView control.

VSTO How to hide FormRegion in Reply email [in InlineResponse also]?

So, as the subject says...what is the easiest way to hide FormRegion if email is in Reply mode whether its in a new window or with InlineResponse?
Just set the FormRegion.Visible property which returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the form region is visible or hidden.
Went back to test the approach in my answer after the question from #EugeneAstafiev and -- of course -- this was more complicated than I first thought... but I did get it working with some additional code.
The issue is that when the user clicks "Reply", it opens a new inspector window with a new instance of the FormRegion. So setting the Visible property to false in the event handler sets it only on the current "Read" mode inspector window -- rather than the new "Compose" mode inspector window that gets opened. So, instead the code samples below set up a bool flag property in ThisAddIn called LoadFormRegion that can be toggled to "false" when the Reply or ReplyAll event is fired.
Also, I noticed that setting Visible to false on the FormRegion still draws the area of the FormRegion on the inspector window, just with nothing in it. To completely prevent the FormRegion from loading, you can test for "Compose" mode and then the ThisAddin.LoadFormRegion flag in the FormRegionInitializing event handler located inside of the "Form Region Factory" at the top of the code page -- which is usually folded away from view. In that code block, setting "e.Cancel = true" will prevent the FormRegion from loading at all.
Here is the revised code for the FormRegion, which now subscribes to all three email button click events (Reply, ReplyAll, Forward), and sets the ThisAddIn.LoadFormRegion flag accordingly:
namespace TESTINGOutlookAddInVSTO
{
partial class FormRegion1
{
#region Form Region Factory
[Microsoft.Office.Tools.Outlook.FormRegionMessageClass(Microsoft.Office.Tools.Outlook.FormRegionMessageClassAttribute.Note)]
[Microsoft.Office.Tools.Outlook.FormRegionName("TESTINGOutlookAddInVSTO.FormRegion1")]
public partial class FormRegion1Factory
{
// Occurs before the form region is initialized.
// To prevent the form region from appearing, set e.Cancel to true.
// Use e.OutlookItem to get a reference to the current Outlook item.
private void FormRegion1Factory_FormRegionInitializing(object sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Outlook.FormRegionInitializingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.FormRegionMode == Outlook.OlFormRegionMode.olFormRegionCompose)
{
var myAddIn = Globals.ThisAddIn;
if (myAddIn.LoadFormRegion == false)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
}
}
#endregion
// Occurs before the form region is displayed.
// Use this.OutlookItem to get a reference to the current Outlook item.
// Use this.OutlookFormRegion to get a reference to the form region.
private void FormRegion1_FormRegionShowing(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Reset ThisAddIn.LoadFormRegion flag to true (in case user starts
// composing email from scratch without clicking Reply, ReplyAll or Forward)
var myAddin = Globals.ThisAddIn;
myAddin.LoadFormRegion = true;
var myMailItem = this.OutlookItem as Outlook.MailItem;
// Track these events to set the ThisAddIn.FormRegionShowing flag
((Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event)myMailItem).Reply += myMailItem_Reply;
((Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event)myMailItem).ReplyAll += myMailItem_ReplyAll;
((Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event)myMailItem).Forward += myMailItem_Forward;
}
// Sets FormRegionShowing flag on ThisAddin
private void SetFormRegionShowing(bool show)
{
var myAddIn = Globals.ThisAddIn;
myAddIn.LoadFormRegion = show;
}
private void myMailItem_Forward(object Forward, ref bool Cancel)
{
SetFormRegionShowing(true);
}
private void myMailItem_ReplyAll(object Response, ref bool Cancel)
{
SetFormRegionShowing(false);
}
private void myMailItem_Reply(object Response, ref bool Cancel)
{
SetFormRegionShowing(false);
}
// Occurs when the form region is closed.
// Use this.OutlookItem to get a reference to the current Outlook item.
// Use this.OutlookFormRegion to get a reference to the form region.
private void FormRegion1_FormRegionClosed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
And here's the new code for ThisAddIn to setup the LoadFormRegion property flag:
namespace TESTINGOutlookAddInVSTO
{
public partial class ThisAddIn
{
private bool loadFormRegion;
public bool LoadFormRegion { get => loadFormRegion; set => loadFormRegion = value; }
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
LoadFormRegion = true;
}
private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Note: Outlook no longer raises this event. If you have code that
// must run when Outlook shuts down, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=506785
}
#region VSTO generated code
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InternalStartup()
{
this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
}
#endregion
}
}
Tested the above and works nearly perfectly... I noticed that if there is a "Draft" reply in the user's Inbox created before the add-in was loaded, clicking on that email to continue editing in the Preview window or a new inspector window will cause some wonky display issues with the FormRegion. However, once I closed out that draft, then everything seemed to return to normal.

How to implement Hold in Listbox?

If hold the listbox, I want to get listbox index.
This is my code:
<ListBox Margin="0,0,-12,0"
Hold="holdlistbox"
x:Name="listbox"
SelectionChanged="listbox_SelectionChanged"
SelectedIndex="-1">
</ListBox>
private void holdlistbox(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
//How to get ListBox index here
}
If anyone knows help me to do this.
e.OriginalSource will get you the actual control that was held (the top-most control directly under your finger). Depending on your ItemTemplate and where you hold then this could be any of the controls in the item. You can then check the DataContext of this control to get the object that is bound to that item (going by your comment this will be an ItemViewModel object):
FrameworkElement element = (FrameworkElement)e.OriginalSource;
ItemViewModel item = (ItemViewModel)element.DataContext;
You can then get the index of this item in the items collection:
int index = _items.IndexOf(item);
If you want to get the ListBoxItem itself you will need to use the VisualHelper class to search the parent heirarchy. Here is an enxtension method that I use to do this:
public static T FindVisualParent<T>(this DependencyObject obj) where T : DependencyObject
{
DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(obj);
while (parent != null)
{
T t = parent as T;
if (t != null)
{
return t;
}
parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent);
}
return null;
}
I'm not sure if you need this (I couldn't be sure from your comment) but you can then do the following to get the context menu:
FrameworkElement element = (FrameworkElement)e.OriginalSource;
ListBoxItem listItem = element.FindVisualParent<ListBoxItem>();
ContextMenu contextMenu = ContextMenuService.GetContextMenu(listItem);
This assumes that the ContextMenu is attached to the ListBoxItem, if not then you need to search for a different control in the parent heirarchy.
var selectedIndex = (sender as ListBox).SelectedIndex;

How to stop pivot looping

I want to create a wizard control from the pivot control. To achieve this I need to stop the pivot looping. I want to stop the pivot control moving forward from the last item to the first and backwards from the first to the last.
I'm pretty sure I should be able to intercept the manipulations e.g. cancel if I detect a right to left manipulation on the last pivot item. I can capture this in ManipulationDelta but don't know how to cancel the manipulation.
I have tried setting e.Handled = True but it didn't work.
I tried to set IsHitTestVisisble to false but this kills all manipulations. I tried setting it back to true in ManipulationCompleted but this then allows all manipulations.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Steve
The pivot is not designed to be used as a wizard and does not support stopping it's looping behaviour as this would create an inconsistent UX for users.
If you really must create a wizard do it with multiple pages.
Don't use a Pivot for a Wizard. Create your own transitions instead.
I couldn't reply to your comment on Matts answer but I just wanted to point you to this:
http://forty3degrees.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/creating-a-swipable-contentcontrol/
It's the last entry in my very neglected blog and should provide a good base for creating a wizard using a pivot style swipe.
Calum.
EDIT: I tried to do what you wanted with the pivot but couldn't find a way to stop it looping. The only way that I can think of to achieve this would be to derive a custom control from Pivot. Unfortunately SelectedIndex/SelectedItem are not virtual so you would need to hide them (with the new modifier) and reproduce the logic from the base class.
It's just an alternative solution I've posted here - you can try to make use of XNA framework TouchPanel and Touch.FrameReported Event:
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input;
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
myPivot.IsHitTestVisible = false; // disable your Pivot
Touch.FrameReported += Touch_FrameReported;
TouchPanel.EnabledGestures = GestureType.HorizontalDrag;
}
TouchPoint first;
private void Touch_FrameReported(object sender, TouchFrameEventArgs e)
{
TouchPoint mainTouch = e.GetPrimaryTouchPoint(this);
if (mainTouch.Action == TouchAction.Down)
first = mainTouch;
else if (mainTouch.Action == TouchAction.Up && TouchPanel.IsGestureAvailable)
{
if (mainTouch.Position.X < first.Position.X)
{
if (myPivot.SelectedIndex < myPivot.Items.Count - 1)
myPivot.SelectedIndex++;
}
else if (mainTouch.Position.X > first.Position.X)
{
if (myPivot.SelectedIndex > 0)
myPivot.SelectedIndex--;
}
}
}
Thought it would probably work from WP7.1 as TouchPanel is available from that version of the OS.
If you absolutely want to keep the Pivot from looping, here is a quick and dirty hack:
int previousSelectedIndex = 0;
public PageWithPivot()
{
InitializeComponent();
pivot.SelectionChanged += new SelectionChangedEventHandler(pivot_SelectionChanged);
}
private void pivot_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (pivot.SelectedIndex == 0 && previousSelectedIndex == <number Of screens - 1>)
pivot.SelectedIndex = <number Of screens - 1>;
previousSelectedIndex = pivot.SelectedIndex;
}
This causes your PivotControl to jump back to the last pivotItem. Not very pretty but works.
This is so weird because it only works in the Emulator. I guess you shan't mess with the UI
You can use MVVM:
<phone:Pivot Foreground="Black"
Name="pivot1"
Title="AIDE"
SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}">
Cs:
private class HelpViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public HelpViewModel()
{
}
private int _SelectedItem = 0;
public int SelectedItem
{
get
{
return _SelectedItem;
}
set
{
if (_SelectedItem != value)
{
if (value == 3)
_SelectedItem = 0;
else
_SelectedItem = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(() => SelectedItem);
}
}
}
}
public AppHelpPivot()
{
InitializeComponent();
LayoutRoot.DataContext = new HelpViewModel();
}

Silverlight TabItem template not working correctly

In a SL4 application i need to restyle my TabItems (actually add a button in the header).
So i took the TabItem's control template from here and added the functionality i wanted.
This seems to work fine, (i could dynamically add tabitems) with one exception:
i think this posted control template is behaving somehow "arbitrary": every time the mouse hoovers over a non selected TabItem header, this gets selected WHITHOUT clicking!! (afaik this is not the default behavior: the user user has to click a header to make this tabitem the selected one).
I tried to find why it is behaving like this, with no luck!
Is there someone who can enlighten my darkness???
Thanks in advance!
Well it turns out the error was not in the control template but in the class, the style was applied to.
In detail: the class the style was applied to is the following (in it you will see my comment about the "wrong behavior"):
public class WorkspaceViewModel : TabItem
{
public WorkspaceViewModel()
{
DefaultStyleKey = typeof(WorkspaceViewModel);
}
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
Button closeButtonSel = base.GetTemplateChild("PART_CloseTopSelected") as Button;
Button closeButtonUnsel = base.GetTemplateChild("PART_CloseTopUnSelected") as Button;
if (closeButtonSel != null)
closeButtonSel.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(closeButtonSel_Click);
if (closeButtonUnsel != null)
closeButtonUnsel.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(closeButtonSel_Click);
//this part is causing the effect i was complaining about!
//and has to be removed
this.MouseEnter += delegate(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
IsSelected = true;
};
}
void closeButtonSel_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//this is the close request method used in the CloseTabItemCommand
OnRequestClose();
}
#region CloseTabItemCommand
private RelayCommand closeTabItemCommand;
public ICommand CloseTabItemCommand
{
get
{
if (this.closeTabItemCommand == null)
this.closeTabItemCommand = new RelayCommand(p => this.OnRequestClose(), p => this.CanCloseTabItem());
return this.closeTabItemCommand;
}
}
private bool CanCloseTabItem()
{
return true;
}
public event EventHandler RequestClose;
private void OnRequestClose()
{
if (RequestClose != null)
RequestClose(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
#endregion
}
