Is there a Windows 8 App directory website (not the one accessible from within Windows 8)?

问题 Is going through the Windows Shop within Windows 8 the only way to know about the apps that are currently available (and if an app idea is already taken)? I've seen Windows 8 app links like this one - http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/en-in/app/bigflix/cd3aa73b-e60e-44b6-bbe9-6898050a3502 ...but going to the root site throws a "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied" and a search for "Windows 8 Store" doesn't provide any useful results. I guess there will be something after the official Windows 8

How to share Windows 8 WinRT Metro style libaries/components across apps

▼魔方 西西 提交于 2019-12-08 01:36:52
问题 The Metro documentation states that the applications are self-consistent (no shared DLL’s, etc), So I’m just wondering how you can create a modular, BIG Metro application by creating reusable components/libraries. Considering the case for HTML5/JavaScript Metro apps, if a lot of them should contain the same CSS and JavaScript (consider jQuery, templates) or WinJS scripts then it doesn't look quite good … I expected some form of libraries/reuse to exist from the start. The HDD space is

问题 I have a Windows RT app where I programmatically change the Bitmap in the Image component. All works well with the XAML and the code below except the flickering we see when the image is changed.

Windows 8 soft keyboard not hidden

不羁岁月 提交于 2019-12-08 01:25:54
问题 We have a Windows Store app that requires the entry of a username and password for accessing a service. When authentication fails connecting to the service we display a popup asking to re-enter their username and password. On a tablet when the user puts the focus on the username or password fields the soft keyboard is displayed correctly. Our login screen is adjusted on detection of the soft keyboard so that all fields and buttons are visible. This all works no problem and when they enter

Force showing keyboard in metro?

人走茶凉 提交于 2019-12-08 01:22:11
问题 I'd like to be able to force the keyboard to show on screen in my Metro app. My goal is to test out different layouts/controls and get a feel for the interaction. My problem is that I'm running Win8 on a MacBook Pro (Parallels) and I don't know how to override the physical keyboard and show it on screen instead. Similarly, I'd like to be able to force rotation if possible. 回答1: You could run your app the Simulator. You can put the Simulator in "Touch Mode" and that will interpret mouse clicks

I have a class which receives a word and returns the correct word, however, I cannot find the class or function in the Spell Checking Provider Sample by Microsoft where I receive the user input string and return for it the correction. 回答1: Since you are implementing a spell checking provider, you will be implementing the ISpellCheckProvider interface. (In the sample you refer to, this is implemented by the

API Failure Sqlite

好久不见. 提交于 2019-12-07 22:01:39
问题 I ran the Windows 8 App Certification Kit on my app and it says it will fail because of Sqllite. Am I referencing code incorrectly or can I ignore this problem? Here is the response: Impact if not fixed: Using an API that is not part of the Windows SDK for Windows Store apps violates the Windows Store certification requirements. API __CppXcptFilter in msvcr110.dll is not supported for this application type. sqlite3.dll calls this API. API __clean_type_info_names_internal in msvcr110.dll is

Running ILMerge tool using .NET 4 on Windows 8

半世苍凉 提交于 2019-12-07 20:52:11
问题 We are running ILMerge as a post build step and having problems when building on a Windows 8 machine. ILMerge.exe is a .NET 2 application so should be able to be loaded/hosted within the .NET 4 runtime. However as soon as we try to execute ILMerge on a Windows 8 build machine the Windows Features dialog appears saying it can't automatically install .NET 3.5 (inc 2.0) and the command fails. This also occurs if I simply run ILMerge.exe /? on the command line. I've tried adding an app.config
