I'm using a AutoCompleteBox Control from Microsoft Phone Toolkit in a WP8 application.
I positioned the control at the top of the page (bellow the title). However, the suggestions list is displayed above the control (is covering the title of the page and is not good-looking).
Is there a possibility to programatically set the AutoCompleteBox to display the Items bellow the control?

I want to design a page on windows phone 8.1 which should have 2 pages in a screen.
One page should always be visible.
Second page should come up when user tries to "hold and tries to swap to right on the left corner of the visible screen"
[The Second Page i'm planning to make it as a User control. so that i can put it on different pages as a hidden control and will show up when user tries hold and drag from left to right, action on a page just the way action center shows in phone]
It's same way how action center page comes up when user hold's and drag down the top corner of phone screen windows phone 8.1, but I'm trying to do the same but from the dragging should be from left side of the Screen.
I have tried experimenting with Manipulation methods could achieve the expected result.
Hope i have conveyed my question properly. :)
Please share your thought's.
Thanks.
Your question is not very clear, but is That what you are looking for ?
Application side menu (NavigationDrawer) ?
Checkout this project, see if it suit your need. You need some changes in source to make it work with Windows 8.1
I'm migrated from iOS dev to WIndows Phone dev and I have stumbled upon a problem.
I need to implement a side menu, that looks like the one in facebook app in ios. It shpuld slide from left to right. It should contain about 10 buttons (ListView). Presign the button should cause chaning the view (navigate to other xaml file)
Because of the huge difference between Windows Phone controls and iOS controls I want to ask an advice on how to better implement such menu. I've heard about aproach using Panorama. But would it look pretty?
I mean I'll have 10 different XAML files with different content. In each of them I'd have to add Panorama control and add the menu. And when I navigate to other XAML would it look nice? because it would close menu without any animation.
So please tell me what is the better approach in impelementing what I want? And how to navigate properly between all the XAMLs without loosing the animation of the menu. And of course how to avoid duplicating code in all the XAMLs? I guess XAML files could not be inherited. And of course I need it to support both WIndows Phone 8 and 8.1.
Thank you very much for you attension!
Here this a blog that will help you implement side menu like Facebook app. Link Hope this helps.
I just implemented something similar in my Dictionary app (http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appId=9f31b733-8c7b-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8). You will see that when you click the favorite or history icons on the top, it slides in a panel from the right. I implemented this by adding another Grid to the page whose left margin is set to the width of the page so that it basically sits to the right of the page, out of user's view. When the user taps one of the icons on top, I run a DoubleAnimation with a StoryBoard which does TranslateTransform on the X coordinate of the Grid and runs the StoryBoard for a duration of 3.5 seconds to give the user the perception of slide-in animation.
As far as having the same slide-in menu on each of the pages go, you have 2 options:
(a) Create the sliding panel as a user control and add it to each of the pages and on click of an item inside the panel, go to the second xaml page with the slide-in menu open and start the transition to hide it, or
(b) Create multiple grids within the same xaml page and simply hide/display the right one at the right time.
I believe you are speaking about the popular hamburger menu.
You can very well use the SlideView library. Here is the link,
https://slideview.codeplex.com/
The SlideView, a control allowing to slide between panels (2 or many more)
The SlideApplicationFrame, a control to use at top app level and packaged to display 3 panels with navigation occuring in the middle panel
The AutoHideBar, a control which is displayed when scrolling up in a list, and hidden when scrolling down
We are developing chat application, in that chat page is having listBox. If that listbox has 100's of records the page will become blank if we scroll up and down. I heard about list box whatever items we are seeing remaining items will be clear. And I used VirtualizationMode="Standard" and "Recycling" but no use. Please help me on this issue.
After done by some research, using ItemsControl my problem got solved..
I have developed wp8 app and looking for a control to slide. I am showing single verse in the page and I want the user to slide (forward and backward) to show next verse, verses may reach 286. I have seen this feature in many application in windows phone store, but I don't what wp8 control they are using.
appreciate your feedback!
Panorama is that you have one image in the background you move a little everytime you go to one side, it is what is used in the image app.
But since you need 286, you should not use the panorama control. Then you should rely on the pivot but beware of microsoft not wanting the users to be confused and caught inside 286 pages, so you need to give the user and overview and use a button that can return a person to the start page.
We have an application that transmits data responses over a radio in the form of an HTML page that is then displayed on a mobile device. The mobile application is beign rewritten in WPF.
We need to display this HTML page in an area of our UI. I have used the WebBrowser control and it displays the page fine. However, the WebBrowser gives you no ability to customize. I have two main stumbling blocks preventing us from using the WebBrowser control for our implementation.
We need to provide particular functionality on a right-click on the control. I cannot get the built in context menu of the WebBrowser control to not display.
We need to customize the scroll bars, which you cannot do with the WebBrowser. We deploy on touch screen devices, so thoroughout our appplicaiton we have fatter scroll bars and additional features for scrolling that the WebBrowser control doesn't allow for.
I'd like to find an alternative.
There is a project/product call Awesomium, which is based on Chromium/WebKit. It is a commercial product, which used to be open-source.
For .NET/WPF it uses the AwesomiumSharp wrapper.
