wp7 list Peel animation - windows-phone-7

I am using List Peel animation as described here. Its working as expected but now I want to add the similar effect on onItemSelectionChanged event of the list box. The only difference is that this time, I want the selected item to leave the page at the very last. How can that be achieved?
Regards

I think that Clarity's turnstile with feather transition might be what you are looking for:

I can't quite remember how it works... but I remember it did act on individual elements - it tried to work like the start menu.

XCTest - how to handle scrolling of list

I am using xcode 8.3.3, swift, and XCTest. I am wondering what the best approach to handle scrolling is when you plan to run your tests against multiple simulators and have a list displayed. Since the screen size may change based on the simulator being used, the element you want to select to scroll up on may or may not be displayed.
If I have a list with x # of elements, how do I best approach which element to use to scroll the list up to have the next set of elements displayed on the screen so that the tests will run on multiple simulators of different screen sizes?
When we do "po XCUIApplication()" we see all the elements in the list, so in order to know which one is the last one displayed on the screen, we would have to look through each element and do a checked like isDisplayed or something to find the last element currently displayed ... but I was hoping there is a better approach?
If the element you want to use is displayed when you do po XCUIApplication() then you should just be able to tap() it without having to scroll it into view. The framework will handle the scrolling automatically if it can find the element.
Here is an article I wrote discussing how to use SBTUITestTunnel for scrolling:

How do I change the visibility of multiple decorations in LabVIEW programatically?

I am trying to make a number of front panel decorations hidden in LabVIEW by the use of a boolean control. I have figured out how to do this with one object fine and have made it work with multiple items however it is not very elegant to say the least (see attached image). While in this case I only have 5 elements what if I had an elaborate front panel and had many more decorations I wanted to hide? There must be a better way to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
It works, just not very efficient....
As you might now you can use a for loop to iterate over array elements. What I would suggest is in the initialization code of your application put the controls of interest on to arrays, and when a user clicks a particular button iterate over those arrays to execute the visible non visible property node call on your decos and or controls of interest.

pivot with in Panorma ....swipe both together

when i use pivot with in the panorama .pivot are used as a gallery view. i want to move pivot when i swipe it .but the problem is this because of both panorama and pivot are the same gesture event so both are they move .
i want swipe only my pivot view .
I would like some sample code or any other suggestion to do this.
so please give me a solution for doing this and
also give me a link where i easily understand this. Thanx in advance
You shouldn't have a Pivot in a Panorama control. End of discussion.
I believe it is achievable, because I've already solved similar issues with having WebBrowser control inside a custom horizontal-scrollable overview container like Pivot/Panorama, but believe me, it is NOT worth it. I've had to dig very deep into the visualstructure of the controls and attach my own manipulation-handlers to their viscera, manually choose which horiz/verti events to pass and which to cancel, and so on. This is not so easy, takes a lot of time, and doesn't guarantee that on the end you will have something behaving in a way you wanted to achieve in the first place. If you are not bound by some contract to preserve the shape of the UI, please, drop the idea and redesign your UI, just to save on your sanity and nerves.
But, if you are already insane or really want to dig where noone should, start on analysing your UI as a two rectangles: large pano and small pivo, and think which part should behave how on different possible touches/h-v swipes/h-v pans/pinches/so on. Write it down just to for reference, or soon you will probably start making small mistakes that will interfere with your understaning of the flow of the events.
I've checked the version I have, and "my" Panorama uses internally the UIElement.ManipulationXXXX events. In that case:
Display visualtrees of your UI and try attaching manipulation-events to every control. In those events, write/log which control's which handler was invoked. Then make some swipe/scroll on your APP and observe events. Analyze how they were bubbling and try cancelling (e.Handled=true) the manipulation-completed and/or manipulation-delta events somewhere between pivot and panorama. Your goal is to have the panorama see that e.Handled=true, while your pivot must see e.Handled=false. Your Pivot will probably see the event sooner than the Pano, so that point should be relatively easy.
If it fails to work, then you should check your version of the Pano, and check how it detects movements. If, for example, it uses the GestureListener - try the same trick with it. Etc.
And remember, you can always make your own horizontal-overwiew-container that will look like Pano, behave like Pano, and that will work with Pivo better - because it will be your code and you will tell it what and when to move. if you want to go this way, start on google and check all the preliminary Panorama previews that random people have published before that control was published by MS.

NSCollectionView with sections - like in iPhoto

I'd like to build a NSCollectionView similar to the one in iPhoto '11. I want to group several pictures in section, and create a section header as well. The section header of a specific section is always visible until the last element of that section is visible. You can take a look at the picture to see what I mean.
EDIT: I should add that the contents are not images.
Thanks in advance
You're probably going to have to look at using CALayers directly. NSCollectionView gets most of its magic from CoreAnimation IIRC, and it looks like you might have to duplicate some of that. Alternatively you could try using nested collection views— one containing groups, then each group contains another collection view of individual items.
Either way, your view/layer hierarchy is going to be the same. You'll have a top-level container which has only one column (since groups stretch across the entire width), then each item within that will have any number of columns, based on the item width. i.e. your 'group' collection view items will stretch to fill width, but your individual items within those groups won't.
If you choose to use the raw CALayer approach, then you'll want to look at CAConstraintLayoutManager. This is what provides the magic inside NSCollectionView. A good place to start looking for information on this is Bill Dudney's CoreAnimation book from Pragmatic Programmers. Bill's now the official platform evangelist for Apple, so I think it's safe to say he knows what he's talking about in there.
Overall, I'd suggest using a nested NSCollectionView approach to start with, and look at dropping down to raw CoreAnimation only if performance seems to be lacking, or if you have issues getting some stuff to work. Using NSCollectionView lets you keep all your current NSView-ness in place, so it will be less work. If it turns out ok, then you're home & dry. If not, you've got something else to try which you can tweak to your heart's content.
Here is a similar sample:

Moving items between two list boxes. What do you call this type of form?

What do you call a form with two list boxes and buttons to move the list box items from one to the other? I've always called it a "switch list".
Switch List http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/9123/formtypegh0.png
Mutually exclusive list
Double List?
To be very honest, I always thought it was called simply "Moving items between two list boxes".
Subset Selection Dialog
As silly as it may sound, I've always gone with "Dual-list Selector". Highly technical.
Where I work we call it an "Add Remove Box". Don't know why, it just happened that way and it has seem to stick.
Switch list is nice.
Exchange dialog is also fine.
Btw, do you also have a drag/drop interface?
Let's be a bit clearer about the functionality here ..
The way you showed it, it's basically a different way of doing a list that allows multiple selection (then I'd call it a 'chooser').
The more typical usage scenario I've seen is with some ordering functionality (implicit - the new item gets added to the bottom, or explicit with up/down/top/bottom buttons) to put the things in the 'added' list in a certain order.
Not sure what I'd call it then, because it's choosing and ordering .. ordered list chooser or selector.
