Navigation - SplitView or Pivot - user-interface

I'd like to ask you, what do you think, which control is better for navigation. What I mean?
Now I have Pivot control with 2 PivotItems. One of them is named Contacts. This PivotItem contains Frame. And the frame makes new navigation on page with contacts (listview). Why Frame? When I click on some contact I need to show details of current contact. But I need to display it inside PivotItem, therefore I use inner frame. So I can still see main view and other pivot items. I think, that pivot is not right control for it. Or I should show contact details for whole screen, not only in pivotitem.
FrameA and FrameB. FrameA has navigated from Main to Page1. Page1 has a Pivot that hosts FrameB in PivotItem1 and FrameB has navigated from View1 to View 2 and from View2 to View 3

I suggest you start reading up on navigation basics for Windows 10 and look at some other apps how they do it.
You could use a navigation pane (which is mostly done using a SplitView), in which you show your contacts grid in the main panel and navigate to a single contact when clicking on it. The other item in your navigation pane would be the title for your 2nd pivot tab.
If you want to keep your contact list visibile at all time and show the details of a single contact next to it, the alternative is using master-detail. Either on a full screen, or by placing the master detail on the main panel of your SpltView.
You can find a master-detail control in the UWP Community Toolkit.

Pin a personal view in D365

How to I pin a personal view in D365. It is a child entity to the case entity (not in the left navigation menu).
It is not appearing on the recent items in the main page when I go Advanced find -> Saved views and run the view.
Recent items are appearing for the views and record from the main page which I could pin from.
This should work, add/replace this part in browser address bar - &pagetype=entitylist&etn=YOUR_ENTITY_NAME.
Make sure you’re changing the entity name, then this will land on that main grid page. From there you can change to personal view and pin it.
If you know the view guid - then try similar to this:
Url="/main.aspx?appid=e2bc1066-488f-eb11-b1ac-000d3a56ead9&pagetype=entitylist&etn=account&viewid=%7b<GUID value of view id>%7d"

Add buttons to sub-grid view

On the order form, there is a products section that has uses the default Order Product Inline Edit View. This view is not editable, but you can copy it and save it as a different name.
However, when you copy the view, the new view does not display all of the same buttons when viewing the sub-grid.
default view:
copied view (the lock pricing, move up and move down buttons are missing):
The copied view shows the + button and it's drop down menu correctly. Why hasn't it copied the other buttons, and how can i get them to show on my custom view?
I am happy to edit xml and upload that back to CRM if necessary.
Update:
FYI, this is all a pointless effort as the word template ignores the sequence order. What an utter waste of time.
I'm going to guess it's because the default view on the order of order products is a special one. It has special behaviours that arn't seen in the rest of 365, i.e. you don't get up, down, or lock on other views.
I would assume that the extra buttons only get shown on that default view and arn't really supported outside of that view.
Turns out it is actually quite easy to show these buttons for other views using the ribbon workbench.
Right click on the button in ribbon workbench under the subgrid section and click on customise
Select the command in the "solution elements" pane at the bottom
In the bottom right hand pane, right click on the enable rule "Mscrm.IsInlineEditView" and click "Remove from Command"
Publish
These buttons now show up for all views.

Visual Foxpro 9.0

I have a programming problem in Visual FoxPro, create a form that contains PageFrame with 2 Page.
1. On Page 1, Create a program to display data in the grid and give the sorting facilities, navigation and search.
2. On Page 2, create a program to calculate volumeTabung and spacious blanket.
Can anyone provide a solution? thank you
Although this is not DOING the answer, but a simple guide.
In the VFP command window,
Create Form [whatever form name you want]
Once form is up, look at the toolbar for "Form Controls". Click on the "PageFrame" control and then click on the form... There, you have a default pageframe with 2 pages as a default.
The "Properties" window should be visible by default. Click on the combobox on at the top which shows all controls. Open the drop-down and you will see "Page1" and "Page2" of the page frame control. Click on either page, and that will bring focus to that respective page.
Now, click on the Forms Controls toolbar again, such as to grab textbox, label, combobox, whatever and then click on the page and your controls are there. Then get focus to the second page and do the same for whatever you want.
Save and run the form. This just gets you to see the controls and how simple to put them on. Actual pulling your data and populating is really more your "to do" list.

UI Design of listboxes in windows phone 7?

in a page 4 menus one by one like the below.
APPS
1.sample1
2.sample2
PERSONAL
1.info1
2.info2
Valuble
1.item1
2.item2.
More
1.item1
2.item2
like the above APPS,PERSONAL,Valuble,More these are Headings.in that items are binding from Sqlite DB.
intially there are no items .DB is creating .by click on button in that page navigating to another page here i'm binding categories[APPS,PERSONAL---] to combobox and one textbox is there.in that way i'm adding items to mainpage.
functionalty is ok but i taken four listboxes statically placed in that i'm binding the items.but intially no items while db creation.if whenever adding the PERSONAL item first the first listbox was empty and filling the second listbox.if whenever adding MORE items first ,the above listboxes are empty this is bad design i think.
How to design UI for that...
I would have thought this is is an ideal candidate for the LongList selector control of Windows Phone - similar to the contacts page.
Have a look here http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/articles/wp7-longlistselector-in-depth--part1-visual-structure-and-api
I haven't used it myself but would think that you should be able to use it to get the effect you require.

SL3 dataform validation indicators don't show in tab pages

I have a Prism/SL3 application with a tab control and each page of the tab control is a "Region" that has its own view and viewModel. when I want to validate the main page, I call dataForm.ValidateItem(), then I go to all the child views and do the same. the problem is, only the pages which user has clicked on them (on the tab page), get instantiated and the pages that are never shown, don't have their view instantiated, thus I can't validate them.
any help?
I created a psuedo work around for this. It's very hacky, but it does work. My example involved walking the visual tree (up and down) to find respective controls that are invalid and then "expanding" the selected item. I have used an accordian in my example, but have also tested this with tab:
