I have a windows 8 app, in which i show the list of students as tiles. When a tile is tapped on, the app bar opens which give the option to edit. My question is; when the tile is tapped, is it fine to go to the Edit window rather than opening the app bar. Does windows 8 app guidelines allow this.
I have gone through the windows 8 guidelines but it has left me confused if its the right way or not.
Thanks in advance.
I think the best way to do this must be that on click of the tile you should open the edit window. And the appbar must have only add button, so that in case the user wants to add a student he can do so through the app bar. I feel this is the correct user experience.

On the windows phone when you press and hold the back button a collection of tiles will appear that represent apps that were recently run or are running in the background. Generally the tiles will show a preview of the app in the visual state it was in when it last navigated away from. I have seen some apps however that will show their logo on this tile regardless of the state the app was in when navigated away from. I have been beating my head against the internet trying to find how this is done. Perhaps I am missing the proper terms to search for in order point myself in the correct direction. Does anyone know how to accomplish swapping the back button history preview image or perhaps help me find the correct search terms to locate help on this?
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
Recently Tapatalk updated their app and a new menu appeared, which I haven't seen before.
Does anyone know what this menu is called?
There is an image in the top left corner which is 3 orange horizontal lines, when you press on it a menu pops out from the left.
I am trying to write my own app and wanted to use this.
I have seen it in a few apps now.
I would upload an image but I am unable to at the moment
From what I can see in the app screenshots, this is a quite typical menu which slides in from the left in many Windows Phone apps these days. It can also be seen in Facebook, for example.
There is a good blog post explaining how to implement that written by Dan Ardelean:
Add side menus to an Windows Phone application (similar to the Facebook app)
It comes down to using gestures (or button click) to bring a part of the app into view.
You could also make a Flipview with 3 pages (FlipViewItems), it would be almost the same as the Facebook app
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.
I have this requirement where i have to show a menu when users slide their finger down the screen. Just like viewing notifications in android and iOS.
If not the same thing may be any alternatives that i can use.
I'm new to windows phone development.
Please help.
While it can be done on your own, it's a pain to do well, and Telerik has already done this - check out their Data Bound ListBox control - http://www.telerik.com/products/windows-phone/overview/all-controls/databoundlistbox.aspx
