New Comment on "Using the BPC OrderableList Control"

owickedfox — Fri, 18 May 2012 04:23:57 GMT

Hello, I really love this control, and I have used it in some of my project. But as a MVVM developer, I had to say the control won't raise the property changed after add or remove. this.FooViewModelCollection.Remove(this.RemovedFooModelViewModel); base.RaisePropertyChanged("FooViewModelCollection"); the FooViewModelCollection was bound as twoway <bewise:OrderableList ItemsSource="{Binding FooViewModelCollection, Mode=TwoWay}"...> after removing, the UI still keeps the remove item (and we have to manual refresh to update). But the original ListBox works fine with this situation.

I'd 2 questions: 1: At the Facebook Developers App setting, at "Select how your app integrates with Facebook" which option should I select? 2: If I didn't select anything, and when run the connection, it shown the following error: "An error occurred with XXXX, Please try again later. API Error Code: 11 API Error Description: This method is deprecated Error message: Display=wap dialogs have been deprecared. You can temporarily enable them by disable the "july_2012" migration. They will stop working permanently on july 1, 2012" does it mean this fbconnection is out of date?

StringToLowerConverter, StringToUpperConverter : return the lowercase or the uppercase version of a string. Useful when you want to follow the metro guidelines for the page titles and subtitles.

Updated Wiki: Using the BPC ExpanderControl

guillaumelac — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:01:54 GMT

Using the BPC ExpanderControl

The ExpanderControl is a part of Bewise Phone Controls current release. To use it, add the BPC library to your project.

This control allows the user to expand or collapse any content. To expand or collapse the content, the user must click on the header text or on the small icon on the left.

To implement it, all you have to do is to put your content inside the ExpanderControl.ContentArea tag.

Here’s a small example:

<Bewise:ExpanderControl HeaderText="{Binding HeaderText, Mode=OneWay}" IsExpanded="{Binding IsExpanded, Mode=TwoWay}">
    <Bewise:ExpanderControl.ContentArea>
        <StackPanel Margin="10">
            <TextBlock>American History X</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock>Mulholland Drive</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock>Se7en</TextBlock>
            <TextBlock>The Lion King</TextBlock>
        </StackPanel>
    </Bewise:ExpanderControl.ContentArea>
</Bewise:ExpanderControl>

And here is how the control is displayed when expanded:

and when collapsed:

Properties:

IsExpanded: get or set the state of the control

HeaderText: The header text which can you can get, set or bind to

Updated Wiki: Using the BPC Calendar Control

guillaumelac — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:01:34 GMT

Using the BPC Calendar Control

The Calendar control is a part of Bewise Phone Controls current release. To use it, add the BPC library to your project.

You will find two types of calendar controls which are respectively Calendar and DynamicCalendar.

Calendar displays a classic calendar and allows the user to navigate from month to month either by sliding his finger across the calendar item, or by using the right and left arrows.

You can then select a specific date; the selected date will be surrounded by a small circle.

The selected date is exposed by the property SelectedDate of the Calendar Control and can be get, set and bound.

<Bewise:Calendar Name="datePicker1" SelectedDate="04/26/2010"/>

Updated Wiki: Using the BPC Dynamic Calendar Control

guillaumelac — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:01:11 GMT

Using the BPC Dynamic Calendar Control

The Calendar control is a part of Bewise Phone Controls current release. To use it, add the BPC library to your project.

Dynamic calendar behaves just like the classic Bewise Calendar, except that it is collapsible. When the user first loads the control, it will be collapsed.

The user can then click on the date, or on the edit icon to expand the calendar. As soon as a date is selected, the calendar will collapse back to his original state and will display the newly selected date.

Navigating through the calendar is just the same as the classic Calendar with sliding or clicking appropriate buttons. The Dynamic Calendar exposes the same SelectedDate property to get or set the date.

<Bewise:DynamicCalendar Name="dynamicDatePicker1" SelectedDate="04/26/2011" />

Updated Wiki: Using the BPC InappToast Control

guillaumelac — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:00:56 GMT

Using the BPC InappToast Control

The InappToast is a part of Bewise Phone Controls current release. To use it, add the BPC library to your project.

This control allows the user to display an informational message. This message will be displayed for three seconds then will disappear. You can also force the message to hide by calling the Hide method.

To display the message, you just have to call the Show method of the Inapptoast control. The message to be displayed can be either set by the Message property, or by calling the overloaded Show(string message) method and passing your message in parameter.

<Bewise:InappToast Name="toast" OnClicked="InappToast_OnClicked"></Bewise:InappToast>

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (lbItems.SelectedIndex != -1)
    {
        toast.Show("Deleting " + lbItems.SelectedItem + ". Click to hide message.");
        items.RemoveAt(lbItems.SelectedIndex);
        lbItems.ItemsSource = items;
    }
}

Here you can see how the control is rendered when the Show method is called:

Properties:

Message : gets or sets the message to display when the Show method is called

Methods:

Show : displays the message
Hide : hides the message

Events:

OnClicked : this event is raised when the user clicks on the message toast

Updated Wiki: Using the BPC HtmlDisplayer

guillaumelac — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:22:01 GMT

Using the HtmlDisplayer Control

The HtmlDisplayer control is a part of Bewise Phone Controls current release. To use it, add the BPC library to your project.

This control will display Html content. The control is not made for browsing internet pages, but to display html content without breaking the “metro” guidelines :

- The background color and the font color are the user’s phone theme colors (unless another color is specified in the html code)

- The links colors are the user’s accent color

In order to use it, just insert the control in your page, and call the DisplayHtml(String) method, with the html content as parameter.

You have an event Navigating that can be used to intercept page navigation. The default behavior will open the phone’s browser.

The TileButton works fine, but if I try to use it inside of a ListView, it is always empty and not visible. Even if I don´t use binding. Isn´t it possible to use the button inside a ListView? Thanks Thomas

I have 3 question on this wonderful control: 1. How can I use this with a long & scrolling list? If I take an element and move it to the screen boarder it should scroll up/down several elements. I tried to include the control into a scroll viewer but it didnt result in the desired behaviour. 2. How can I change the picture element? 3. How can I reduce the tilt effect? I think reducing it makes the control easier to use.
