I have created a custom AlarmSettingsPane in the settings charm which allows the user to give the time and also choose the audio file for alarm tone. So i implemented the file picker in the settings charm.When i click the file picker button it takes me to a new full screen where i get to pick my files, but when i select a file and open it, am directed to my home screen but the settings charm flyout gets closed. How can i preserve the state of the AlarmSettingsPane flyout and prevent it from closing programmatically? Like the settings flyout should contain the same imfo about the alarm as it

How always show vertical scrollbar in the scrollviewer? It disappear in few seconds, but I want to make scroll visible all the time when scrolling is available Thanks for any help I think there might be a bug in the control in Windows 8 Consumer Preview, since the following should normally work: <ScrollViewer Style="{StaticResource VerticalScrollViewerStyle}" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" Template="{StaticResource ScrollViewerControlTemplate1}"> As a workaround you can modify the template of the ScrollViewer: <ScrollViewer Style="{StaticResource VerticalScrollViewerStyle}" Template="

Enumerating through colors in non-WinRT is a common question with a simple answer. But, since the Colors 'ENUM' is actually just a class with static 'color' properties you can't use the standard approach in WinRT. How do you enumerate colors in WinRT? Like this: Enumerating through Colors in WinRT requires using System.Reflection so you can fetch the static properties sub-classed in the container class 'Colors'. Like this: Dictionary<string, Windows.UI.Color> Colors() { var _Colors = typeof(Windows.UI.Colors) // using System.Reflection; .GetRuntimeProperties() .Select(c => new { Color =

The standard (desktop) windows combobox has three styles; Simple, Dropdown, and Drop List. Dropdown works like an edit control and a combobox, whereas Drop List doesn't allow editing. Am I missing something, or does the XAML ComboBox control in a Windows 8 store app only support the Drop List style? I was halfway through implementing something when I ran into this, and the more I look, the more it seems that it just isn't supported. Do I really need to replace the ComboBoxes in my screens with an edit control followed by a listbox? Yuck. thanks to edward.ho.tpe's answer I wrote myself a little

I'm new to developing Windows 8 apps, and am having trouble getting my XAML file to recognise generated code for adding AppBars and CommandBars. I am getting the error "Unknown type [something] in XML namespace" for a number of elements I am trying to add, here is my example below: If I re-open my solution this is temporarily displayed as a warning rather than an error. Also navigating to http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation just produces "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.". This is all default code. my

I have a Windows 8 App using Javascript/HTML and within an iframe I have a Paypal form: <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_blank"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Pages"> <select name="os0"> <option value="10">$1.95</option> <option value="25">$2.95</option> </select> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="[removed]"> <input type="image" src="/btn_buynow_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt=""> </form> This form works perfectly fine in

I want that when a user taps on a TextBox the keyboard should be capital initially and then small case after entering first character. I have seen this in calendar app. When you tap on Add title the shift key is initially on and when you tap on Add a message it's off Here are the screen shots.. Screen shot #1 Screen shot #2 Here is a quick summary of the different InputScope types you can set for the on-screen keyboad. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh393998(v=vs.105).aspx It sounds like "Text" worked for you, but "Chat" will also begin with a capital.
