Closed Issue: ListPicker resizing issue when changing HorizontalAlignment [9443]

shawnoster — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:34:17 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem when I change the HorizontalAlignment property of the ListPicker. By default, its value is Stretch, but if I set it to Left, the ListPicker is correctly aligned to the left, but has visually a width of one pixel. I was expecting the ListPicker to resize to the width of the selected item.

Is this a bug ? Do you guys have a workaround ?

Thanks !

in System.Windows.FrameworkElement.OnApplyTemplate(IntPtr nativeTarget)

but if my expanderview is in the first PivotItem node there is no error

e.g) here I've the error

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">

Closed Issue: When FlowDirection is set on ListPicker, it does not propagate to ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate [11081]

shawnoster — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:34:03 GMT

Though setting the flow direction on ListPicker will be respected in ItemTemplate, however, it will not propagate to ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate. This could be because the FullMode picker page is navigated to and created we’re not applying the FlowDirection that was on the original control to the picker page.

Sample Repro Code:
<toolkit:ListPicker x:Name="PresetListPicker" Margin="12,0,24,0"
Header="{Binding Path=LocalizedResources.NwwpEQDolbyPresetFieldLabelText, Source={StaticResource LocalizedStrings}}"
SelectionChanged="PresetListPicker_SelectionChanged"
ExpansionMode="FullScreenOnly"
FlowDirection="RightToLeft">
<toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LocalizedName}" FontFamily="Segoe WP" Margin="0"
FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMediumLarge}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
<toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="0,10,0,29">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LocalizedName}" FontSize="43" Margin="0"
FontFamily="Segoe WP SemiLight"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.FullModeItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>

Created Issue: Documentation? [11772]

Ciwan — Sun, 12 May 2013 20:45:31 GMT

Hi

I have just downloaded your toolkit via NuGet, but I am a n00b apps developer, and have no idea how to proceed since there is no documentation on here!

I want to use the Date Picker control :(

Please help, thanks.

Commented Issue: Drag and Drop have a long delay before his start. [4492]

JMOSTAJO — Wed, 08 May 2013 17:25:21 GMT

Drag and Drop have a big delay before the start.
In my case ListBox have 3 000 items. I start drag and receive some reaction and view only throw 5 seconds.
I am planing 30 000 items in that ListBox.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: JMOSTAJO **

I recommend use pagination, we have the same problem with a ListBox and it resolved with pagination.

Created Issue: ListPicker.ListPickerMode is readonly now [11741]

JohnGao — Wed, 01 May 2013 04:38:30 GMT

How can I close the Full ListPicker view by code? Before, we can set ListPicker.ListPickerMode = ListPickerMode.Normal. But now the property is readonly now.

Commented Issue: ListBoxDragDropTarget misses mouse up event occasionally [5930]

bigfootsoft — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:24:40 GMT

In the April 2010 release I've noticed that code that used to work fine in the March 2010 release is now behaving strangely. I have a ListBox that is wrapped in a ListBoxDragDropTarget element. When I click on an item in the list box to select it, sometimes a drag operation is started even though I did not hold down the mouse button. It seems to be fairly repeatable but not consistent. I can't detect a pattern.

Inside the ListBoxItem is an object which is listening to mouse events for detecting double click so I will investigate that and report back but I just wanted to post this in case anyone else is noticing the same thing.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: bigfootsoft **

I don't know if anyone is still reading this post, but I'm still gonna post my solution here. I'm currently developing an application where this problem was annoying me a lot. I tried subclassing the DDT using the suggestions posted above but they did not really help.

So I did some research and found out that the "normal" sequence of the drag/drop/mouse-events would be:
```
1. MouseLeftButtonDown
2. OnItemDragStarting
3. OnQueryContinueDrag (multiple times)
4. MouseLeftButtonUp
5. OnQueryContinueDrag
```

In those cases where the item would stick to my cursor, the sequence was slightly different:
```
1. MouseLeftButtonDown
2. OnItemDragStarting
3. MouseLeftButtonUp
4. OnQueryContinueDrag (to infinity and beyond)
```

Notice the missing OnQueryContinueDrag between MouseDown and MouseUp. So you can solve the problem using two flags:
HasQueriedContinueDrag: set to false in MouseDown, set to true in QueryContinueDrag
and
CancelDrag: set to false in MouseDown, set to true in MouseUp if HasQueriedContinueDrag is false

If CancelDrag is set then cancel the dragging operation in OnQueryContinueDrag like andy2001p suggested.

I've attached my complete solution. It is in VB.net but should be pretty self-explanatory, even for C#-ers ;)

Does anyonw still work on this Project?

We have Bugs here that are open for years now, and nthing happens (for example the Memory Leaks in Context Menu). There are also still Patches in the Issues how to fix them, but nothing happens... This is realy sad!
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Tailslide **

I know. I have ongoing development of LOB applications in SL5 and Microsoft has completely abandoned me with no suitable alternative. After decades as a Microsoft dev it's got me thinking about other development platforms again.

Commented Issue: Non-looping LoopingSelector ends up in infinite loop [10624]

peja914 — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:50:38 GMT

If you have a LoopingSelector control with a data source that doesn't wrap around in a continuous loop (by having ILoopingSelectorDataSource.GetNext and ILoopingSelectorDataSource.GetPrevious return null at start/end, see: http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/80090/603451.aspx), the LoopingSelector control will go off in a never ending storyboard loop that locks the UI.

The hack I applied to fix this was in LoopingSelector.AnimatePanel, I exit the function if from == to.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: peja914 **

I solve the problem by modifying the original source of LoopingSelector, also fix the AnimatePanel, if from == to, return.

Created Issue: Using any control in XNA/XAML hybrid project hangs application under certain conditions [11637]

gumispl — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:55:03 GMT

Using any control from Windows Phone Toolkit in XNA/XAML hybrid project hangs application under certain conditions:

1.Create "Windows Phone XAML and XNA App" project

2.Add Silverlight for WP Toolkit by typing __Install-Package WPtoolkit__ in Package Manager Console

3.In MainPage.xaml add toolkit namespace:

```
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
...
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
...>
```
4.Add any control from toolkit eg. TimePicker:
```
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">

<Button Height="100" Content="Change to game page" Click="Button_Click" />
<toolkit:TimePicker />
</Grid>
```

5.Run app on WP8 device or WP8 emulator (on WP7 this problem doesn't exist)

6.Click "Change to game page" button

7.Lock and unlock screen or switch to another app then return.

8.Click back button to return to MainPage

9.Click on TimePicker and try to change time.

10.Application isn't killed but UI is blocked

Created Issue: TransitionFrame broken when using fast app resume [11617]

cosmotic — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:17:15 GMT

When using the following guide:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj735579(v=vs.105).aspx

Resuming an application results in the entry animation playing twice.

I think this is because Fast Application Resume navigates twice.

Commented Issue: ContextMenu of New Window always pops up in Main Window [10170]

MCederholm — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:39:12 GMT

In the Silverlight 5 (December 2011 release) the ContextMenu only appears in the Main Window.
Clicking for a ContextMenu from a new Window always pops up the context menu in the main window.
The Silverlight 5 Toolkit's ContextMenu uses a System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.Popup window which defaults to popping up in the main window. Use the Popup.SetWindow method to set the window the Popup should appear in. The ContextMenu class also uses Application.Current.RootVisual to determine the current window.
Use the Window.GetWindow method to determine the Window the popup should appear in.

Creating a new Window in Silverlight 5:

var window = new Window { Title="New Window", Width = 320, Height = 200 };
window.Content = new MyControl();
window.Show();
Comments: ** Comment from web user: MCederholm **

This only affects me if I try to use an event other than right-click to open the context menu. For example, if I have a button in a popup and I open the context menu on the click event, the context menu opens at the last location of the mouse before it entered the popup window.

Right-click events work just fine for me in popup controls.

Created Issue: ContextMenu slows down application [11595]

kskog — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:08:47 GMT

My application slows down proportional to the number of ContextMenus instantiated. The slowdown is not noticable before the number of ContextMenus becomes very large.

The issue is very easy to reproduce. Just generate a List like this:

```
int n = 3000;
List list = new List();
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
list.add(new ContextMenu());
```

At 3000 ContextMenus the slowdown is very significant.

Commented Issue: Context Menu [6206]

kskog — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:51:51 GMT

I create ItemsControl: 
 <ItemsControl Grid.ColumnSpan="3" ItemsSource="{Binding MyItemsSource}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MyDataTemplate}" />
 
ItemsControl has MyDataTemplate:
 
<DataTemplate x:Key="DayShiftViewModelDataTemplate">
 <Grid Background="Red">
 <TextBlock Text="FooText"/> 
 <controlsInputToolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
 <controlsInputToolkit:ContextMenu >
 <controlsInputToolkit:MenuItem UseLayoutRounding="False" Header="asdfsdf" Command="{Binding AddNewShiftCommand}"/>
 </controlsInputToolkit:ContextMenu>
 </controlsInputToolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
 </Grid> 
 </DataTemplate>
 
When I clear the collection of ItemsSource and add new elements , my application starts to slow.
If I delete Context Menu from DataTemplate, application works well.

Comments: ** Comment from web user: kskog **

I am not sure this is the same issue, but my Silverlight app has a lot of usercontrol instances with attached ContextMenu. When the number of usercontrol instances becomes large it significantly slows down the UI thread. Why are these serious bugs not fixed?? Maybe I'll just switch to Android right away...
