This question about WP8 project.
I have a LongListSelector with pictures and html formatted text below. Currently each pictire implemented as an Item of the list. The last Item with browser has its own template and shows WebBrowser instead of picture.
I am expected this item behave such as TextBox which I can scroll by interacting with LongListSelector.
But this WebBrowser has it's own scroll inside and intercepts any surrounding scrolling events. Thus whenever I scroll down the list to show WebBrowserControl to the whole screen, I can't go back to the pictures.
Please help me with this issue. What is the appropriate solution? I need a separate pictures since want to implement "Clicked" logic on top of it. And I want to have WebBrowser too (but prefer to behave it similar to RichTextBox (which I can't find in WP8))
USE ListBox.ItemTemplate along with DataTemplate and inside dataTemplate we could custom create xaml tag !

In my WP8 application I use LongListMultiSelector and I would like to save it's scroll position when application is closed or tombstoned and then restore it when application is opened again. I will also need to scroll it programmatically to a specified item or specified position with animation when application is active.
The problem is that so far I can't find any methods on LongListMultiSelector that will allow me to scroll it with or without animation to a specified item or position. I also can't find methods that will allow me to get a list of all current items so I could choose of them to which one to scroll.
It can't be that scrolling is unmanageable on LongListMultiSelector so I'd like to get your advice on how I can get to this scroll functionality.
LongListSelector is kind of a "smart" controls. It means it has very complex behaviour but if you need to change it - better you shouldn't...
You have two options:
Write your own behavior on top of the content of the LongListMultiSelector. It contains primitives:ScrollBox control inside it.
Use standard LongListSelector and implement native ScrollTo method and your own multiselection. Multiselection is a simple task, ScrollTo is quite tricky since you basically can't scroll to position, only to item.
Is there any way or are there any elements in WP7 which could be expanded on tap? For example if I'm using a ItemViewModel I'd like to show only the content of LineOne and when that is tapped I want to show the content of LineTwo.
I don't necessarily need to do this with a ItemViewModel. For example the hidden content could also be buttons that appear instead of a line of text.
Any suggestions?
Have you looked into the ExpanderView from the Silverlight Toolkit? It allows you to have a tap-to-expand template and a standard template. There's a reasonable overview of it available at Windowsphonegeek
I have a registration form on my layout grid, made out of a stackPanel. Textboxes are taking most of the screen (800px) along with a button. When user is positioned in one of the text boxes, keyboard covers almost half the screen and in order to access boxes below, they first have to click somewhere blank to remove the keyboard and then click another box. It isn't possible to scroll down.
I want to enable same behaviour like when editing name in contacts, but didn't manage yet. How to achieve this?
Try wrapping it into a ListBox or a ScrollViewer (probably easier), like so:
<ScrollViewer>
...
</ScrollViewer>
Also, check to make sure you don't have the same problem described here.
I'm not a WP7 developer but here's what I do in Android and iOS and you may get a hint of what to do.
I wrap my forms in a Scrollable View. This gives easy scrollable features to users without the need of anything else.
i want to swipe webbrowser Control which is on pivot item ,each pivot item
has a web control .i want to swipe with web browser control .
but i don't have any idea.but swiping is necessary in my project .is there any method to doing this if yes then please send me sample code for this ..
This is a bind if you have some different sections of HTML you want to display in a Pivot. If you are targetting WP7 Mango it might be possible for you to convert your HTML to RTF and then use a RichTextBox instead of a WebBrowser. However if your HTML is fairly complex, this probably isn't going to work for you.
Alternatively you could place your WebBrowser in a pivot item with a transparent Rectangle above it in the Z-order. Make sure that Rectangle swallows any gestures and doesn't pass them through to the WebBrowser control - that way you will be able to swipe left and right on the WebBrowser to get the pivot to move.
Next you can use the GestureService on this transparent rectangle to recognize vertical pans/swipes and taps to take you to a full page view of your WebBrowser content. In this full page view you would have a fully interactive WebBrowser control.
You have an issue with competing gestures. Try setting the WebBrowser control to IsHitTestVisible to false. This will mean that you'll be unable to manipulate or scroll the content of the WebBrowser control though.
shanu: if you still need it, check my recent answer at: WP7 Pivot control and a WebBrowser control
There's a bit of info on how to "hack into" the webbrowser and what to do, to (almost) prevent it from stealing your swipes. If you are insane/masochistic enough to try that approach I described there, then in addition to that eventhandling and other configuration/detection, you will have to drive your pivot manually via relevant pivot.selectedindex++/-- on H-swipes detected with your handlers (or you can separate blocking and observing with gesture listener, that may sometimes result in the code being a bit cleaner). I also think you will have to be careful with the selectedindex near to the page ranges. I dont know how pivot behaves if you order it to go further than you page count, and I dont know either if it will animate correctly, if being on the last page you order it to go "wrap around" and go to page 0 via selectedindex=0. It may get "crazy" and rewind back instead of going forward in a circular fashion.. you will have to experiment with that
I am working on a sample which contains list view to display list of names in the data base. Once the application is launched list view will be invisible. After clicking on some button I am making it to visible. If I make it to visible the control bellow the list view are also visible. And I have button bellow that control, once I hove on the list view the button also displays over the list view.
Please let me now how to solve this problem.
It sounds like you have child windows on top of each other in a dialog. Use ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) to hide the windows that are 'underneath'. So when you make the listview visible, hide the button that is underneath.
On the windows desktop, application windows will properly hide other windows that are underneath one another, but in a dialog, different styles are used, and you have to be careful not to let controls overlap or they can draw on top of each other. Instead you need to hide the ones that you don't want to be visible.
