ScrollViewer scroll to specific control - windows-phone-8

I have a scrollviewer with an item template on it. the user sends a control number and I need to scroll to that item. How can I find the offset for the scrollviewer?
here is the scrollviewer that I am using
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="0" x:Name="ScrollPanel" Padding="0">
<Grid x:Name="TestPanel" >
<ItemsControl x:Name="MainItemsControl" ItemsSource="{Binding PostList}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel x:Name="PostPanel" Margin="0,5,0,5">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="60" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image x:Name="IconUrl" Source="{Binding IconUrl}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Margin="12,0,12,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="50"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock x:Name="PostAuthorName" Text="{Binding PostAuthorName}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="12,0,12,0" Foreground="Black" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="PostTime" Text="{Binding PostTime}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="12,0,12,0" Foreground="Black" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="ReplyNumber" Text="{Binding ReplyNumber}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Foreground="Black" Margin="12,0,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
<RichTextBox x:Name="PostContent" localcontrols:Properties.BBCode="{Binding PostContent}" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="1" Fill="Gray" Height="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,10,0,10"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>

The offset can be calculated in this way. The code is adopted from this answer.
void ScrollToIndex(int index)
{
var itemContainer = MainItemsControl.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index) as UIElement;
GeneralTransform transform = itemContainer.TransformToVisual(ScrollPanel);
Point position = transform.Transform(new Point(0, 0));
ScrollPanel.ScrollToVerticalOffset(position.Y);
}

The ItemsControl does not implement logic that allows scrolling to a particular item. You can use the ListBox control instead. This control has a ScrollIntoView method that accepts the object you would like to scroll to as an argument. You can still use the RadWrapPanel by setting the ItemsPanel property of the ListBox control.
You don't have properties, but you have two methods for this: ScrollToVerticalOffset (to scroll vertically) and ScrollToHorizontalOffset (to scroll horizontally).
this.scrollViewer2.ScrollToVerticalOffset(0);

Show default message when listbox is empty (Windows Phone 8.1)

I want to display the default message when list box is empty and for same I used following code but this code is not working :
<HubSection x:Name="PivotFromAccount" Style="{StaticResource HubSectionStyle2}" >

Tapped="lstAccountDetailsfrom_Tapped"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource lstAccountliststyle}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource lstAccountlistDataTemplate}" >
</ListBox>
<TextBlock Margin="4" FontStyle="Italic" FontSize="12" Text="List is empty" x:Name="txtmessage" Grid.Row="1" Foreground="Black" />
<i:Interaction.Behaviors>
<ic:DataTriggerBehavior Binding="{Binding ElementName=lstAccountDetailsfrom, Path=Items.Count,Converter={StaticResource DataTriggerBehavior},Mode=TwoWay}" Value="0" ComparisonCondition="GreaterThan">

</ic:DataTriggerBehavior>
</i:Interaction.Behaviors>
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</HubSection>
I tried with the Ivalue converter also like below but it is also not much more helpful. It is always sending 0 count to ValueConverter
<TextBlock Margin="4" FontStyle="Italic" FontSize="12" Text="List is empty" x:Name="txtmessage" Grid.Row="1" Foreground="Black" Visibility="{Binding ElementName=lstAccountDetailsfrom,Converter={StaticResource DataTriggerBehavior},Mode=TwoWay}" />
If your data source is an ObservableCollection you can bind to its Count property with a custom IValueConverter than converts 0 to Visible and 1 to Collapsed and use it on the TextBlock. No behavior needed.

the above code has listview inside it another listview. when i try to load list<list> to listview it takes too much of time. Some time app crashes when i load 100 rows with 185 columns.
I tried to replace Itemtemplate stye control to Itemstackpanel performance is good. data is loaded and shown on screen faster but i dont see Horizontal scroll
Previous Code
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel
Orientation="Vertical" VirtualizingStackPanel.VirtualizationMode="Standard"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
when i modify to `<ListView.ItemsPanel>

<ItemsStackPanel Margin="0,0,0,0" Width="Auto" Orientation="Horizontal" Height="35" VirtualizingStackPanel.VirtualizationMode="Standard"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>`
i dont see horizontal scrollbar enabled. Can any1 suggest me how to enable Horizontal scroll bar enabled by default to Itemstackpanel in windows store apps.Looks like it is bug with this control or there work arounds to ItemsStackpanel with Horizontal Scrollbar.
If your ItensSource is a list of objects with a attribute Name and a attribute Price for example:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Here_your_DataSource}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" >
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapGrid Orientation="Horizontal" MaximumRowsOrColumns="15"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--Here u design your item template-->
<StackPanel Background="Blue" Width="100" Height="100">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Price}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>

how to Switch ListBox DataTemplate orientation between Vertical and Horizontal on buttonClick from Appbar in windows phone 8

I have a Images page images are loading from my random urls into my ListBox, I have ApplicationBar in this page and i have created two buttons one for library page show in grid format and Second for library page in list format, by default my Library View in Grid format now i want to show its view in the list format by clicking a button from the application bar.
I have tried the converters to convert the orientation of my ListBox's stackPanel but not worked.
I have tried the change the orientation by fetching the x:Name property of the ListBox but not worked.
i searched on google by putting following query but not found proper solution.

If you have any idea how can we do that than please let me know.
I have found the alternate solution of it, what i am doing i have created two ListBox with different Name Property and made the visibility="Collapsed" and Orientation="Horizontal". And in second ListBox i created with different Name and Visibility Property="Visible" and assigned the orientation="Vertical".
So on btnList i am playing with Visibility only.

WP8 Progress Bar Not Rendering

I have placed a Progress Bar control within my MainPage.xaml. The application type is Pivot.
For some reason, the Progress Bar and a TextBlock which I have placed within a PivotItem and below a Grid are not showing. There is a LongListSelector directly beneath these two controls. Are these two controls not showing because of that? I used the UI to drag the LongListSelector beneath then anyway, so I'm not sure why it's not showing.
This is the XAML:
<phone:Pivot Title="Title" Background="White" Foreground="Black">
<!--Pivot item one-->
<phone:PivotItem Header="Header" Foreground="Black">
<Grid>
<ProgressBar Name="progressBar" Value="0" IsIndeterminate="True" Margin="0,0,0,579"/>
<TextBlock Name="txtLastUpdated" FontWeight="Black" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Black" Margin="0,24,0,541" />
<phone:LongListSelector Name="llsLocations" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionChanged="LongListSelector_OnSelectionChanged" Margin="0,62,0,0">
<phone:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>
...
...
...
As you can see, there is a ProgressBar and a TextBlock above the LongListSelector who are also inside the Grid control.
Any ideas why these two controls are not showing?
I think you have something wrong with Margin or item positioning. I've tested code below and it works:
<phone:Pivot Title="Title" Background="White" Foreground="Black">
<!--Pivot item one-->
<phone:PivotItem Header="Header" Foreground="Black">
<Grid>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<ProgressBar Name="progressBar" Value="0" IsIndeterminate="True" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0"/>
<TextBlock Name="txtLastUpdated" FontWeight="Black" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Black"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" Text="Something"/>
</StackPanel>
<phone:LongListSelector Name="llsLocations" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionChanged="LongListSelector_OnSelectionChanged" Margin="0,62,0,0"/>
</Grid>
</phone:PivotItem>
</phone:Pivot>
Remove margin of all child element of StackPanel. This will defiantly helps you.
<phone:Pivot Title="Title" Background="White" Foreground="Black">
<!--Pivot item one-->
<phone:PivotItem Header="Header" Foreground="Black">
<Grid>
<StackPanel>
<ProgressBar Name="progressBar" Value="0" IsIndeterminate="True"/>
<TextBlock Name="txtLastUpdated" FontWeight="Black" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Black" />
<phone:LongListSelector Name="llsLocations" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionChanged="LongListSelector_OnSelectionChanged" >
<phone:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</phone:PivotItem>
</<phone:Pivot>
Hardcoding control's position (especially by dragging controls in designer) is not a good practice. Try to define rows for your Grid, then specify Grid.Row for controls inside the Grid. With that you can arrange Grid content more neatly. Check this link for more sample and explanation about layouting controls inside Grid. Following is an example for your situation :
<phone:PivotItem Header="Header" Foreground="Black">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0">
<ProgressBar Name="progressBar" Value="0" IsIndeterminate="True" />
<TextBlock Name="txtLastUpdated" FontWeight="Black" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Black" />
</StackPanel>
<phone:LongListSelector Grid.Row="1" Name="llsLocations" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionChanged="LongListSelector_OnSelectionChanged" >
<phone:LongListSelector.ItemTemplate>

I have this code in XAML, a textbox for search and a multi line select list. The problem is that the multiLineList is not scrollable even if there are many items. If I remove the stackpanel and the textblock and textbox, the list works ok with scroll enabled. Any suggestion?
Try adding a ScrollViewer above your grid.
<ScrollViewer>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutList" ....>
...
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
Or you could probably replace your Grid with a ScrollViewer if you're not using it to position your elements.
Wraping LLMS in a ScrollViewer will destroy the item virtualization and throw an OutOfMemoryException if the collection is too long.
Expose the LLMS' inner LongListSelector, then use the ScrollTo() method to scroll to the item u want.
LongListMultiSelector llms = LongListMultiSelector as LongListMultiSelector;
if (llms != null && llms.ItemsSource.Count > 0)
{
llms.InnerLongListSelector.ScrollTo(llms.ItemsSource[llms.ItemsSource.Count - 1]);
}
I've encountered this weird issue and found an easy solution.
It happens for both Longlistselector and LonglistMultiselector.
When you have several controls in one page, you need to set the height of selector's row to "*" instead of "Auto" in order to make the scrolling function to work correctly.
For example :
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> //Row def for another row
<RowDefinition Height="*"/> //Row def for your selector
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
If the RowDefinition Height not set to "*" but "Auto", scrolling for Longlistselector will not response to user's action.
