I've been looking at MvvmCross for cross platform mobile development. Since navigation of views is done by calling ShowViewModel<>(), how would you create the settings pane (which is a user control) in Windows 8 using MvvmCross? MvvmCross provides a general ShowViewModel<T> navigation mechanism which uses a Presenter to display and set the DataContext on View s. Views that are shown this way typically cover the 'whole screen' and benefit from automatically constructed ViewModels using CIRS (see http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/v3-new-viewmodel-lifecycle.html ) However, just because

I'm brand new to Caliburn.Micro, so I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me here :). I'm trying to use MessageBinder.SpecialValues in my Windows 8 app, but I can't get it to work. I'm adding a new "$pointerPercentage" to know the percentage (float between 0.0 and 1.0) of how far the mouse is positioned within an element (for a music keyboard in my synthesizer app). Everything else is currently working (so I believe I have Caliburn.Micro wired up properly). I've added the following to the Configure method of my App.xaml.cs: protected override void Configure() { container = new

I am selecting gridview item using code, so I also need my gridview to Scrolls at selected item's position , I tried GridView.ScrollintoPosition() but it is not working . IS there any way to get the Scroll position of SelectedItem so that I can scroll it using scrollViewer1.ScrollToHorizontalOffsetWithAnimation() There are a few aspects here. I think just gridView.ScrollIntoView(gridView.SelectedItem) should work. It's a bit asynchronous, so the code wouldn't immediately see it scrolled, but if you do something like await Task.Delay(100) - you might be able to see the ScrollViewer offset

I've implemented inking code in my app based on the simplified inking sample by microsoft : http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Input-simplified-ink-sample-11614bbf/view/SourceCode First I made a class that saves data of an operation (draw/delete/clear) like this: public enum eInkOperation { Draw, Delete, None } public class InkOperation { public InkStroke Stroke { get; set; } //requred for drawing from undo public eInkOperation Operation { get; set; } public InkOperation(InkStroke stroke, eInkOperation inkOperation) { Stroke = stroke.Clone(); //needs to be cloned for AddStroke to work

Anyone got a snip for grabbing a screenshot of your metro app using C#? Or C++? Or VB? Thanks... No, there is no way for a Metro style app to do this. By design they cannot directly interact with other apps outside of themselves, including capturing screenshots which may include other apps. There also isn't a way for a Metro style app to render Xaml elements to a bitmap so you can't readily implement this for your own app. --Rob More details are found here : MSDN Forum I haven't test this solution but it might work if you try to let your app press the Window Key + PrintScreen and it should put

How does the WinRT Chrome app print without triggering the OS's "Print" dialog? From what I've seen elsewhere, every WinRT app must go through the Windows Print dialog to print. But when you print a page from the Chrome Metro app, you get the Chrome Print dialog, and the Windows Print dialog is not triggered. I don't think you can. The one browser app that enjoys the privilege of being your WinRT browser also enjoys special privileges not granted to other WinRT apps. For example, you can bet that Chrome is neither a XAML app nor an HTML/JS app. Yet all WinRT apps (except the one browser app)

I need to search and connect to a Bluetooth device using a Windows store app. I am using XAML/C# and Windows 8.1. The device supports RFCOMM. What I have done so far: If I pair the device to my system and then search for the device using var devicesInfoCollection = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(); I get the Bluetooth Device, however is there a way to find the device when its still not paired. Thanks There is no way to do that (in Windows 8.1). You have to pair your device first, otherwise the offered service won't show up in the list returned by .FindAllAsync(). 来源： https:/
