Which toolbox does facebook app use - windows

which toolbox is that?
I use ListView now, but if I click it, it looks like I choose it, not click it.
so I want to change.

Your question is very unclear but I'll share some information about ListView.
I don't know which facebook app is that but official Facebook App (not beta) is using ListView too AFAIK.You can customize ListView's Style and ItemTemplate to achieve that.
Theese 2 MSDN articles about ListView will help you.

How to show a menu after clicking on the widget icon?

I am using firefox addon builder (Addon kit 1.7) and I wonder to know if it's possible to show a simple menu like the context menu of firefox just after clicking on the widget icon. I need few hints. Thanks in advance.
I managed to make it work using the MenuPopup package by Yaelle Borghini and uploaded a simple example on the Addon Builder site.
You will have to expand on Yaelle's code to support dynamic modifications of the menu items because it's not fully built in at the moment (though it shouldn't be too hard to add it).
Here's the discussion on the Mozilla forums about how to show menus with the Addon SDK that got me started.
Right now the only option is to hook a panel to a widget and add a menuitem to the panel with html.

Windows phone 7 Jump List control

You can use the ListPicker from the Silverlight Toolkit and use the SelectionChanged event.

Selective Virtualization in WP7 Listbox with VirtualizingStackPanel

I am referring an app like Facebook WP7 app. When we try to scroll a long list of the feed items. Only the heading of an feed item seems to be visible and when the scroll is completed remaining details gets loaded. If it is a normal Listbox where virtualization is enabled complete data disappears and all the controls seem to be recycled. So in facebook app, I thought that the virtualization is happening on selective items. Am I right?
If yes, how to do a selective virtualization? and if I am wrong what is the app exactly doing? Any resource regarding this will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
I believe that this is just how their data binding works.
They get an initial list that contains the "headers" and some basic information, which they show. They then make more calls to grab the rest of the info. When that info comes in, it updates in the view model and thru databinding shows up on the list.
I have apps that do that, and they behave similarly to how FB's listbox behaves.
As Willmell pointed out, this msdn link describes what Facebook is doing exactly. The template of the listBoxItem will be switched while scrolling.
Try to look here. This guide helps me to solve a similar problem.

Proper way to implement a dropdownbox in WP7 ?

I have seen 2 ways.
Fake a ASP.NET stlye and have the options appear over a textbox on the same screen.
When the box is touched open a new screen that lets you scroll through all options and pick one. When one is selected that value is copied to the placeholder on the orginal screen.
I am working on a project where we are doing #1 and I am thinking #2 is the proper way ?
Use ListPicker from the silverlight toolkit if you're looking to match the WP7 paradigm (which you should want to :) )

Drop down menu like the default iPad application menus

I'm currently working on my first iOS application to run on the iPad, and I've come across a problem. I have been asked to implement menu's similar to the ones in the default applications such as when you click on the "Calendars" button in the top left of the calendars app.
Only issue is, I cant seem to find a standard UI object that looks like these, with the arrow connecting the menu to the button etc. Is this a standard UI component that I should be able to use, or will I have to imitate them by creating a custom object?
Thanks for any help.
That is a UIPopoverController. There isn't an Interface Builder control for this. You need to create one programmatically:
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:someTableViewController];
See the documentation for more information and sample projects, specifically ToolbarSearch:
