I have a Metro app using a WebView control. I'm using NavigateToString to load a html file which may contain hyperlinks. What I then want to do is detect when one of these hyperlinks is selected and, instead of allowing navigation within the WebView control, to launch IE and view the page there instead. Is this possible within the WinRT constraints, and if so, how? So far, I've tried capturing the WebView_LoadCompleted() event, but although it does fire at the right time, I can't see any details about the URI from the NavigationEventArgs . Unfortunately this isn't possible directly because

I've attempted to have a <Grid/> (with interactive stuff inside, not just an image) clipped with rounded corners (a <Border/> or a <Rectangle/> , whatever works). I've attempted multiple solutions, but none of them was compatible with a Windows Store App. No brush: RadialGradientBrush is not supported in a Windows App project. DrawingBrush is not supported in a Windows App project. The type 'VisualBrush' was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built. No mask: The attachable property 'OpacityMask' was not found in type

I need to develop Metro style application using C# and XAML which has to work on Windows RT devices and full Windows 8 OS. So I'm allowed to use only WinRT without any .net framework assemblies. I've read this question Microsoft Surface Tablet: Writing Apps for Both Devices? and this very usefull post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonz/archive/2012/06/12/what-you-need-to-know-about-developing-for-windows-on-arm-woa.aspx , but i stil have question: When i even create a Blank Metro Style Application project I have .NET asseblies for metro style. Do I have remove them by myself or i do something

In WPF, we can update the underlying data model whenever the user makes any change to the data by leveraging UpdateSourceTrigger like this: <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=TextProperty, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/> In Window Phone UpdateSourceTrigger was not included in the XAML specification and to accomplish the same, a TextChanged handler was necessary like this: (sender as TextBox).GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty).UpdateSource(); In Windows 8, I assumed that UpdateSourceTrigger would also be omitted - I was correct. I was surprised, however, to learn that

I have just started using MvvmCross, but i didn't find any info about to how i can execute UI code from a ViewModel. On Caliburn there are coroutine so i can access the view and keep the ui code separated from the viewmodel code. on my first case i need to open a dialow from a command inside a ViewModel, what is the correct way? Right now i'm developing a WinRT app. Thanks There isn't any hard/fast rule on this within MvvmCross. Generally, when I need to do this I use the Messenger plugin. This answer assumes you are using the latest Alpha v3 code. For older vNext code you'll have to do some

I had used OnTextInput Event to get the Key Pressed by the end user in WPF/Silverlight, but in case of WinRT I dont have such events and I am struck with KeyDown Event. Though the event returns the Key Pressed by the User, I am not able to differentiate the case (i.e, lower or upper case) as the event returns VirtualKey Enum. Is there any possible workarounds? Regards Lots of WinRT programmers have this problem, the event just isn't very discoverable. Microsoft hasn't been consistent enough about naming this event. It is KeyPress in Winforms, TextInput in WPF. Yet another choice for WinRT, it
