How do I Force suspension of Metro app

问题 How do we force an app to Suspend (NOT shutdown, just suspend) and then force-resume it ourselves when we are NOT using visual studio/debugging? 回答1: When running under Visual Studio 2012, you can enable the Debug Location on the debugger toolbar. This will allow you to select one of the three operations, "suspend", "resume", and "suspend and shutdown". [edited] Sorry, just noticed that you are asking for non VS solution. You can suspend your app by dragging the app down. Move your cursor to

问题 I have an autocomplete text box that when typed in will show results in a popup directly below itself. But when the user is using a virtual keyboard as soon as the keyboard shows it will scroll the the bottom of the textbox, This hides the results from showing when they appear. Is there a way for me to get around this? The only way i can think of is to set the vertical offset of the popup on each keypress that will position it above the textbox instead of below. But this is not how i would

问题 I do not have Windows 8 and Metro installed. My question is based on the documentation. It appears DataGrid is gone but ListView and GridView remain. GridViewColumn is gone.

Thanks 回答1: I'm not sure if I

问题 A lot of them have hard coded square small and 2 squares sized large tiles. I am looking for something flexible enough for at least the size ratio to be adjustable to be more flat. Telerik has a flexible approach (you can choose any row and column span for a tile) but their implementation is either laughably primitive is still too new, especially the drag and drop part. Devexpress has nice drag and drop, but is stuck doing 1x1 and 1x2 sized tiles. 回答1: DevComponents is my favorite. With WPF,

Suspend camera when user switches away from app, and resume camera when user switches back to app

由 纵饮孤独 提交于 2019-12-08 03:36:28
问题 Currently, I would like to suspend my camera when user switches away from my app, and resume camera when user switches back to app I am referring to Application lifecycle (Windows Store apps) (Windows) However, Suspending | suspending event isn't being triggered immediately once the user switches away from my app. You need to wait for few seconds (Or it will not trigger at all if OS decides not to do so). So, how I can know, when I should run my camera suspension code when user switches away

问题 I'm looking for a MaskedTextBox for WinRT, I can't seem to find any... Does anybody know if such a textbox exists? I found the one from ComponentOne, but that one is paid, and I'm looking for a free sollution.

问题 I'm creating an application for windows 8 metro, I need to render a framework control into an image and save it to hard disk but do not know how. Can I use SharpDX for this? How can I do? Thanks in advance for the help 回答1: If you follow through this thread the limitations of Metro and the reasons why it won't work are explained. The essence of it is: Sorry, but rendering Xaml to an element or capturing a screenshot of your own app did not make it into the release version. It is by design
