Create a custom user control in you project by using this code there. Thereafter in your mainPage in the code behind add the userControl dynamically to the grid present on the UI in a for-loop or any other method which you find suitable to your situation.

I want normal cancel functionality on cancel button click of sfdatepicker footer, I am trying to achieve it by binding command but it is not working. Could any one suggest me any solution for that ?
You can use code like below:
<datePicker:SfDatePicker.FooterView>
<Grid>
<Button Text="Ok"
x:Name="footerViewButton"
Clicked="footerViewButton_Clicked"/>
</Grid>
</datePicker:SfDatePicker.FooterView>
Created in this way, and then create the corresponding method in the ViewModel to achieve logical operations.
Greeting,
I'm developing an apps for Windows Phone 8.1 and face some problem with ListView.
I wanted to place a button for the FIRST item in ListView, but it seem like I can't align center the button.
Below is the code I use currently:
<ListView>
<Button Content="Jio!" Height="6" Width="362"/>
<ListViewItem Content="ListViewItem"/>
</ListView>
Adding horizontalalignment='center' just wont work for the button.
The reason I want to do this is because I wanted the button to scroll together with the list, hence I'm placing it inside the ListView.
Please advice what can I do to achieve my purpose, thanks!
I recommend using the ListView.Header content to place such a button instead of adding it as a child directly.
<ListView>
<ListView.Header>
<Button ... HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</ListView.Header>
</ListView>
By default, the ListViewItems are left-aligned. You will eventually have to replace their Template in order to center-align it (HeaderTemplate Property).
**UPDATED**
Just something quick, hope you guys can help me but i'm having this problem where I open up my wp7 project in blend and i edit the listbox item template and i finish it but. I save everything and go back to VS2010 for Windows phone and hit debug but i look at the phone and i have no items showing up at all. The listbox is just blank.
Code:
<ListBox toolkit:TiltEffect.IsTiltEnabled="True" x:Name="ListBox1" FontSize="42.667" FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="False" d:LayoutOverrides="VerticalAlignment">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel x:Name="sp">
<toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
<toolkit:ContextMenu IsZoomEnabled="False" >
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Delete" Click="Delete_Click" Name="MenuItem1" />
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Edit" Click="Edit_Click"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="View" Click="View_Click"/>
<toolkit:MenuItem Header="Share.." Click="Share_Click"/>
</toolkit:ContextMenu>
Quick Brief
The app I'm making is a simple note app which saves notes in to a folder in the isolated storage. It successfully retrieves the items but i just want to make it so that it has the title and a brief description. This is all in one item. I've got to that point and the 2 textblocks have ="{Binding}" this basically just adds the title I'm assuming but i also added the ="{Binding}" to the second textblock so its basically showing the title for both of them. Is there a way to bind it to a specific item? like the second textblock, how can i bind that so that it shows 1st 12 characters inside a text file so basically it just shows the title and a brief description?
Maybe you have designtime-only data?
In case you're using Mvvm Light DataService approach, you define 2 DataServices: one for designtime and another for realtime.
Just random assuming. it would be nice to see some sample.
UPD: you posted wrong code, this one is about ContextMenu. I dont see binding there.
But again, generally talking, there shouldnt be any problems. You just deserialize data into model, say
public class Note
{
public string Name {get; set; }
public string Content; {get; set; }
}
And then you have List (or even ObservableCollection if you want realtime changes like renaming). And then you just bind
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Content}"/>
If you want to have a strict limit for Content/Description of 12 characters, you can add either Converter and take only 12 first characters, or introduce new property
class Note
{
***
public string Description { get { return Content.Substring(0, 12); } }
}
UPD2:
Ok, lets start from the very beginning. First, MVVM is recommended pattern for Wp7 applications. I believe, you can google info about it yourself, but here are the most important parts:
Model. Keeps your data (in your case, it is notes names and description).
ViewModel. This is abstract view. You have all logic here, you have all data prepared to be rendered here, but VM have no idea how to render data. In your case, a list of notes would be here.
View. Here is description of your ui. In your case, ListBox would be here.
So, first, make a new project, then use NuGet to install latest Mvvm Light (for example). After installing, you should see folders for viewmodels and models.
Create new class Note, like i described before. It would be your model.
Now, go to viewmodel. In a constructor, add a list of Notes there, call it ListOfNotes. Add manually several items to the list and initialize them (add some random values for Names and Contents fields).
Now, go to view. In the top of the file, there should be something like DataContext = "{Binding MainViewModel, Source={StaticResource ViewModelLocator}}". Inside of the view, add ListBox. It should be something like
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding ListOfNotes}" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Content}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
So, what would happen now. When you would run your app, your view would be initialized. It would get MainViewModel (because is it set as DataContext, in step 4). In the constructor of MainViewModel, a ListOfNotes would be initialized (see step 3). Then, when page would load ListBox, it would try to find ListOfNotes inside of DataContext (MainViewModel in our case). It should find your list of Notes, and then, every element of the ListBox would be associated with every element of your ListOfNotes. As it is described in DataTemplate, it would try to get Note.Name and Note.Content.
I have customized the button in this way:
<Button BorderBrush="Transparent" Name="DialButton" Click="DialButton_Click" >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock FontSize="43" Name="lblNumber" Margin="0,-5,0,0" />
<TextBlock FontSize="12" Margin="5,20,0,0" Name="lblCharacter" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
Now, when a user presses the button I want the OnPress state to change the color of the labels. I can do this if it's a simple button by changing the Pressed state. But my label is placed inside a stack panel. How can I change the color in this case? Or in which event can I change the colors of the labels from C#.
You can use the PropertyChangeAction in cases like this. You can find this in the behaviors category on the Assets tab in Expression Blend.
Apply this action on the labels. Change the trigger property to the DataTrigger instead of the default EventTrigger. Bind the trigger to the IsPressed property of the DialButton. Add two PropertyChangeActions per TextBlock and set the Value for one of the to true and the other one to false.
Here's an example for one of them. The other is exactly the same.
<TextBlock FontSize="43" x:Name="lblNumber" Margin="0,-5,0,0" Text="25">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<ec:DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsPressed, ElementName=DialButton}" Value="true">
<ec:ChangePropertyAction PropertyName="Foreground">
<ec:ChangePropertyAction.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Red"/>
</ec:ChangePropertyAction.Value>
</ec:ChangePropertyAction>
</ec:DataTrigger>
<ec:DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsPressed, ElementName=DialButton}" Value="false">
<ec:ChangePropertyAction PropertyName="Foreground">
<ec:ChangePropertyAction.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundColor}"/>
</ec:ChangePropertyAction.Value>
</ec:ChangePropertyAction>
</ec:DataTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</TextBlock>
If the i: or ec: isn't working, make sure you've got these lines at the top of your xaml file.
xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"
xmlns:ec="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Core;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Interactions"
You'll need to turn this into a custom control and then you can manage the styling of each component based on the state.
Try this in the click event of button
Button butClicked = (Button)sender;
StackPanel panel1 = (StackPanel)butClicked.Content;
var child1Panel1 = panel1.Children[0] as TextBlock;
child1Panel1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 18, 18, 18));
If you're only going to use this button once, probably the easiest way would be to open the .xaml file in Expression Blend, and use Blend to customize the button as you wish, including the state change. If you're using the button in more than one place, do as Matt suggested and make it a custom control (which you can also use Blend to design) that you can reuse.
I am trying to use the list picker control for wp 7 and caliburn micro. I get the binding correct from the model with conventions, but when I press the the picker to see the page to select somethin gelse I get the message
PID:0E2108CA TID:0F790ABE 2012-04-30 18:02:20.7180 View Model not found. Searched: Microsoft.Phone.Controls, Microsoft.Phone.Controls.ListPickerPageViewModel.
PID:0E2108CA TID:0F790ABE 2012-04-30 18:02:20.7210 View Model not found. Searched: Microsoft.Phone.Controls.IListPickerPageViewModel, Microsoft.Phone.Controls.ListPickerPageViewModel.
and it loads a complete blank page (think its the ListPickerPage in the control toolkit)
it doesnt matter if its bound or not, i guess its some convention hooking in that I dont want.
To reproduce start a new project, hoock up a viewmodel and view, enter below in in your xaml
my xaml looks like this
<toolkit:ListPicker Header="Background" ExpansionMode="FullscreenOnly">
<sys:String>dark</sys:String>
<sys:String>light</sys:String>
<sys:String>dazzle</sys:String>
<toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="16 21 0 20">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
Margin="0 0 0 0"
FontSize="43"
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyLight}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>
What I would like to happen is ofcourse that the property of my model should popuplate the fullscreen selection, and also it would be nice to set the initial selection based on a property on the model.
Some points I noted:
You have to provide an ItemsSource to the ListPicker - A collection of some sort from which it can display the items. In TextBlock text={Binding } - You have to bind some property, so that it can display.
