I am developing app in Flash builder 4.6 as Flex Mobile project.
I have 4 different views being shown inside ViewNavigatorApplication. One of the views need to have tabbed menu bar at the bottom of the screen. That tabbar needs to control sorting method of list element. I could use custom made tabbar but I really want the same look and feel as the one that comes with TabbedViewNavigator. What are my options for doing such tabbar?
Should I use TabbedViewNavigator as application container and start showing/hiding the tabbar as necessary for every view (then I must overwrite the tab buttons handler so that it wont change the view but do the sorting instead) or is there a way to extract the tabbar from TabbedViewNavigator and simply add it to one of the views?

I want to resize or change the toggle Image (red box) in Report Builder 2.0. Is there any possibility?
Or can i toggle my elements via the column (blue box)?
I'm afraid it's impossible to change the icon in the Report Builder 2.0 (or 3.0).
If you really wish to change the image you shouldn't use an ssrs report. Could create a custom view in windows forms, wpf or html (css) that has the same functionalities as the report viewer, which will take a lot of effort.
You could move the toggle function to another textbox inside your report but I'm afraid the same icon will be placed in front of it.
I have a multipage, multiview flex application. Each page has a unique layout of buttons, circles, textfields, labels, datagrid, etc. I have to implement keyboard navigation on these pages. Instead of using Tabs to navigate to next enabled controls, I want to use Left, Right, Up, Down keys. How can I convert normal Tab navigation to Arrow navigation.
PS. I am new to AS3 and Flex.
You should build a method in order to catch the events of the Keyboard and then use some variables to indicate where to put the Focus:
object.setFocus();
hi is it possible to create/ extend from tab navigator or another component to create a tab navigator where tabs are within tabs. I.e grouped. I have been trying to find some info on this but there is very little available. I have attempted to do something as follows but I cannot successfully get it to work. Any expansion or information on this would be great
Thanks
You can try Flex MenuBar with custom skin for it. Or, maybe it will be easier, you can try to write own component based on Spark ButtonBar (or TabBar) with List as suggested in Flex: Skinning menuBar - is it possible?
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
I am porting a Desktop WPF application to WinRT and I'm facing a little issue.
I had a ItemsControl and I had a context menu on every item to delete / edit the item.
I have been told that PopupMenu are not good in WinRT and I should use a AppBar.
I think I'm doing something wrong or I misunderstood that.
I thought that I could put that options on a AppBar and when I select an element, popup the bar and click where I need.
The problem is that the AppBar will show up when I right click on any part of my app, so that buttons will show up with an item selected.
So can I change the layout of the AppBar on different contexts (because it seems that Microsoft wants us to use AppBar as context menu without context capabilities) or only show it when I want via code?
Would be good to have a TopAppBar with some App-wide options and a BottomAppBar just for ListView's item context menu.
Or maybe I'm doing all this stuff wrong and I have to use another approach to put extra options on the Listview's items.
You are thinking about this correctly. AppBar is the place where you should put all your non-essential and selection based commands.
The guidelines here and here suggest that they should be arranged as follows:
Navigation commands should be in TopAppBar
Commands related to selection should on the left side of BottomAppBar
The rest of page specific commands should be on the right side of BottomAppBar
Contextual commands should only be shown when a relevant item to that command is selected. For that purpose you should set Visibility of these commands accordingly. Also AppBar should open automatically when an item with contextual commands in it is selected. You can do that programmatically by setting its IsOpen property. You should also set it to sticky mode by via IsSticky property.
If you're using MVVM you can bind your viewmodel properties to all Button and AppBar properties mentioned above.
There's a CustomAppBar control available in WinRT XAML Toolkit. I haven't used it myself yet but it has a couple of extra features that might prove useful in your case.
