I have an app with several buttons running on a touch screen (Windows 7) - can I make the app respond to a user touching 2 different buttons at the same time? Or will only one of the buttons respond?
I don't need any gestures and have set the inputmode to touch_point. My test shows that it supports touch events and have 10 max touch points. But to add touch_tap to the buttons does not make both buttons react.
Any hints would be most apreciated!

There is a button in the middle of an app. After you touch the screen and click on it, you receive a click event on the button. What happened in the middle?
I used to face a bug, use the UIWebView, one input element in an HTML can't response the click event, but the WkWebview can.
Now I want to confirm the question below:
What happened from you touch the screen till iOS app receive the click event?
After I had viewed the Woodstock's answer. I edit this question.
Don't consider the hardware, just think the iOS system.
There are multiple events triggered, for example:
Finger down, Finger moved, Finger Up.
Additionally there are events for where that occurred, e.g. inside or outside a control.
If you are asking what's happening in the quantum between contact with the capacitive display and the processing of the event by iOS this is not well defined.
Suffice to say, clock cycles and processing :)
I'm developping a WinJS application on Windows Phone 8 and I want to "disable" the action bar. I just want when I touch the top of the screen it doesn't show the action bar. I saw several games doing that :
How can I do that with HTML or WinJS ?
You need to do two things:
Hide the status bar via StatusBar.hideAsync method
Disable system overlays via the ApplicationView.suppressSystemOverlays property.
You need to do both things to minimize the Action Center popup thing.
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
Am working on a windows store winjs application and am trying to force display the touch keyboard on the application screen.
I couldn't find any proper solution over the net for the same.
Is there a way to force display it?(would be great if there are some work arounds)
The touch keyboard show & hide behavior is designed to be controlled by the user and should not be changed easily.
Anyway an easy workaround is to set the focus on an input control in the page programmatically. This will make the keyboard appear, but the the control will be back to the user and he will be able to hide it at any time.
Cheack this article for a more complex workaround if you need a bit more control: How do I hide virtual keyboard for select element in Win8 JavaScript app?
I am wondering if it is possible to find what image was displayed to the user when they pressed the live tile to launch the application. I know how to tell what live tile was pressed, just not what image was displayed.
No, it's not. You should pin multiple tiles if you want a selective behaviour.
