This is similar to disabling selection of a single item, however, I want to keep the item enabled (for tap, aka click event). Thus simple setting IsEnabled to false is not an option obviously. What would be a good way to achieve this?
give the class bound to the item an extra property of type bool (for example canBeSelected), handle the selectionchanged event and check if the bool is false, if it is set selecteditem to null
You can fix this using a custom style.
Usage :
<GridViewItem Style="{StaticResource NonGridViewItemStyle}">
<!-- Your content here-->
</GridViewItem>
Place this Style in a resource dictionary:

I'm working on a Xamarin.Forms project for UWP right now, and I'm using a custom renderer for Pickers. I'm actually overlaying the Picker on top of a label and icon so that when the user clicks the label/icon, it opens the picker. In order to accomplish this, I'm basically setting everything on the picker to transparent - the border, text, and background. The picker still functions just fine, and all picker elements are invisible, except the picker arrow is still visible. How do I affect the color of the picker arrow (in order to make it transparent), or just get rid of it altogether?
Getting rid of the text and background color is as easy as:
var transparent = Windows.UI.Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0, 0);
Control.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(transparent);
Control.Background = new SolidColorBrush(transparent);
But I can't figure out how to affect the dropdown arrow.
I know the Control is a FormsComboBox VisualElementRender<Picker, FormsComboBox>.Control, and I've tried scanning through all the properties of Control in Visual Studio.
For custom render, the correspondent native control of Picker is ComboBox in UWP . See Renderer Base Classes and Native Controls. So that for the drop down arrow you want to change , which is actually the DropDownGlyph element inside the control template of Combobox. You could copy the default ComboBox styles and templates and update the DropDownGlyph to not visible by setting the Visibility property to Collapsed. For example:
The render:
public class MyPickerRenderer : PickerRenderer
{
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Picker> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
Control.Style=(Windows.UI.Xaml.Style)App.Current.Resources["pickerstyle"];
}
}
The style in App.xaml

I want the combobox's drop-down-list to be opened right from the offset of the combobox's contentPresenter (you know... the part that shows the selected item). But hat actually happens is that the dropdown-list's offset is above the contentPresenter till the page's ceiling.
As well I want the width of the drop down list to be according the largest item - permanently, and not to be changed dynamically as it now (now, it resized according to the items that are in view).
I tried to set the comboBox's MaxDropDownHeight property to 0 or 300, but nothing has changed.
Here is the templateControl (the image has nothing to do with this snippet):

Thanks!
To size the ComboBox's faceplate to the largest item, set an explicit value for ComboBox.Width (or ComboBox.MinWidth to set a minimum but allow it to grow for larger items). This works if you know the length of the longest item ahead of time.
ComboBox's CarouselPanel inherits from VirtualizingPanel, so since the items can be virtualized it's difficult to determine how long the longest one will be. Setting explicit Width is probably the best way here if it works for you.
As for the ComboBox Popup's placement, the positioning logic is implementation detail that is not exposed through API as far as I know. The ComboBox design follows Win8 design guidelines for ComboBox, which are considerate of touch, mouse, and keyboard users. Users have expectations about how ComboBox will open, so it's best to follow guidelines here if possible. If you do need to achive the custom behavior described above, you may be able to hack the ComboBox control to do it or create a custom solution.
You can try and change the items panel of the combobox from carouselpanel to stackpanel in the style. That way the virtualization problem and combobox opening on both sides problems might be solved.
(cant check it myself right now)
How do I change the background image of a Button on Hover and on Click? The Visual Studio's UI does not seem to provide any easy way of doing it. Currently the default behavior seems to replace my image with a solid color, which looks aweful.
All I have so far is the Button base:
<Button Content="" Height="75" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="75" HorizontalAlignment="Center" ClickMode="Press">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="../data/images/icons/skill_icon_0.png"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
I tried to handle events and manually set it, but it doesn't work for Pressed/Released:
Button skillButton = new Button();
skillButton.Width = 75;
skillButton.Height = 75;
skillButton.ClickMode = ClickMode.Press;
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 0);
skillButton.PointerEntered +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 1);
};
skillButton.PointerExited +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 0);
};
skillButton.PointerPressed +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 2);
};
skillButton.PointerReleased +=
(object sender, Windows.UI.Xaml.Input.PointerEventArgs e) => {
if (skillButton.FocusState == FocusState.Pointer)
skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 1);
else skillButton.Background = GetIconImage(iconIndex, 0);
};
I ended up editing the ControlTemplate just to create and change the Border. But it could be used to change the image too.
<Button Width="75" Height="75" ClickMode="Press">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border x:Name="RootElement" CornerRadius="10" BorderThickness="2">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition To="MouseOver" GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.1"/>
<VisualTransition To="Pressed" GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.1"/>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="BorderBrush"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color"
To="Yellow" />
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="BorderBrush"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Color"
To="Black"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Border.BorderBrush>
<SolidColorBrush x:Name="BorderBrush" Color="White"/>
</Border.BorderBrush>
<Border.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="ms-appx:/data/images/icons/skill_icon_0.png"/>
</Border.Background>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
You're pretty much there. You can always apply a semi-transparent colour on top of your picture below your text/content but since you asked for changing the entire image, here's what you can do:
In Visual Studio 2012, if you already have a button mostly styled/configured to what you want, right click it, Edit Template -> Edit a Copy. Choose where you want to put the new style/template. It's like picking where to put the CSS. Could be in a global file (App.xaml or StandardStyle.xaml) or in the header (page resources) or inline (control resources).
The below XAML might be over-simplified and not work but it's the idea of it:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="MyButton" TargetType="Button">
<Grid>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="HoverBackground"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="PressedBackground"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
[...]
</VisualStateGroup>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="FocusStates">
[...]
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Border x:Name="Border" [...]>
<Grid>
<Image Source="[...]" Stretch="None" />
<Image x:Name="HoverBackground" Source="[...]" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<Image x:Name="PressedBackground" Source="[...]" Visibility="Collapsed" />
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
[...]/>
</Grid>
</Border>
[...]
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
Now you can place your 3 images in the 3 <Image> tags and since the ContentPresenter is on top, when you use the template with <Button Template="{StaticResource MyButton}">, you can still put content in and it will appear on top of your background image. Or you can just have a fully graphical button with the images too.
The windows UI XAML toolkit now has this functionality:
Image Button and Toggle Image Button
Use package manager console command "Install-Package winrtxamltoolkit" in visual studio 2012 to install the toolkit... It is really useful for many things.
Here is a style that turns visibility on and off for some extra images you add in Blend. The images are transparent and go behind the button background image by using "Send to Back" .. so in other words, you get to keep using a different background image brush for each button, plus the swapped Normal, Pointer, and Pressed images. So two background images overlaid.

Use this Code in Pointer_Entered Event on the Button and it will work :)
private void Button_PointerEntered_1(object sender, PointerEventArgs e)
{
BitmapImage bmp = new BitmapImage();
Uri u = new Uri("ms-appx:/Images/Shapes/blueball.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
bmp.UriSource = u;
ImageBrush i = new ImageBrush();
i.ImageSource=bmp;
button.Background= i;
}
The reason the += for PointerPressed / PointerReleased won't work in your original code is because Button (actually ButtonBase) class-handles these events. That is because they're being consolidated into the Click event (on Release). If you used skillButton.AddHandler with first param PointerPressedEvent, second param a new handler reference to a named handler, and third param true, you could be using PointerPressed rather than the Entered/Exited as the event.
