I've seen applications on WP7 that seem to use a control that dims the app, plays a quick sound, and shows a dialog at the top of the screen. What is this control called as I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
Try MessageBox.Show
MessageBox.Show("Hello world!");
Here is a more flexible version of MessageBox

Im writing an application for workers in our factory and one of requirements is that they should be able to take images using camera integrated in PDA with WM6.5.
The main difficulty is, that thay MUST NEVER EVER be able to enter windows, Start button, desktop etc. They are allowed ONLY to see my fullscreen application.
I succesfully deactivated BlueTooth + red, green and volume buttons (if you are interested, im pasting links here)

And now I have to implement the camera function. But as CameraCaptureDialog opens a new dialog and shows start button, task bar and allows user to open list of applications, I must not use it.
I must create my own dialog that will show the Live Preview in a panel or in an imageBox and photo will be taken using a button.
I searched the whole internet and found only DirectShow.NETCF (but people do not recommend it) and CameraCaptureDialog.
Can I somehow redirect the CameraCaptureDialog to my dialog? Or can I access camera directly via .NET framework? Or can I modify the CameraCaptureDialog not to show Start button, menu etc?
Looks like you have a bit of a challenge. I agree that Directshow is a questionable solution, but it may be your only option. I did get http://alexmogurenko.com/blog/directshownetcf/ to work, but only on low resolutions.
A better option might be to find a device that does not show the menu bar/start button. AFAIK, the HTC HD2 has a very clean Cameracapturedialog..
Good luck.
Is there a way to display a browser control over the top of an XNA game on Windows Phone 7?
Basically I need to display some HTML, and then allow the user to return to the game.
So it can be full-screen if need be. It could even involve switching to Internet Explorer, if there's a way to return to the game from IE?
Is this possible?
It was announced that XNA and Silverlight would be available together in the same app starting with Mango update.
That might allow you to get what you're after.
I am not certain It would be nice if we could pop an html screen like we do on the iPhone. I know if you embed an url you can open ie. but as far as I know you can only get back to your game via the hardware back button.
You are not able to directly display HTML content in your XNA application due to the differences in the UI core. You are able, however, to invoke the WebBrowserTask. All you need to do is add a reference to Microsoft.Phone and then add a using statement for Microsoft.Phone.Tasks.
It seems that the phone control toolkit is missing the BusyIndicator control.
Does someone know about one ?
does something else specific exists for WP7 ?
Have you seen the ProgressBar control? You can use the ProgressBar control to show that your application is busy doing something. It is recommended that you use PerformanceProgressBar by Jeff Wilcox (Remember to read his follow up post too, it is important to consider IsIndeterminate and its value).
If you wanted to create a splash screen with a progress bar in it, check out this example. Alex also shows how to customize the progress dialog in this post.
In Windows 7, the explorer shows a scroll tip in detailed view like this:
alt text http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Dd378445.scrolltip%28en-us,VS.85%29.jpg
This image is taken from this MSDN page, but there's no information there on how to activate this for a plain list control.
I'd like to get my list controls to do the same, but I can't figure out how to do this.
There's the LVN_BEGINSCROLL and the LVN_ENDSCROLL notification message, but no LVN_SCROLL message which is sent while scrolling so I could implement my own scroll tip and updating it while scrolling.
I haven't found any window styles or settings for the list control to activate this feature either.
But since Windows 7 can do this, it must be possible somehow. Anyone got an idea how I could implement/activate this feature?
You could probably subclass the listview and catch WM_VSCROLL
A somewhat related article in MSJ implemented "scroll tips" and deferred scrolling
