I'm currently building an app where I use a PivotControl as the standard navigation. I managed to style the headers now but after some thought I realised that I should probably make the whole app sizeable for different screens. Not every screen (especially in IoT scenarios) will be a full HD screen :D
Thats the current control:
My problem now is that when I make the screen and the PivotItem smaller it just cuts off the end of the pivots like you can see at the right of the picture.
What I would rather have is that when the PivotItem gets smaller I want the Headers to stack.
Like in this quickly googled example:
But I don't know how I should make that possible...
Does anybody have an idea?
What are you trying to build?
Could the content be organized in other way?
Pivots or similar controls (tabs, segmented controls etc) work best with few items that are important to the user and deserve the central stage.
The screenshot you added violates several UI best practices and I suggest you find an alternative to structure your UI that is user friendly.

I have a complex Filemaker database with multiple tables and layouts. What I would like to do is to add a toolbar to each layout. This, of course in view of maintainability of my database solution.
Of course, I could create a nice row of buttons (for example in the header of the layout) and copy past this to each separate layout. However, this is not really a great solution from a maintenance pont of view (if you want to change something you need to do so multiple times).
So... is there another way?
I am looking for something similar to e.g., include in php:
<?php
include 'header.php';
?>
Is there such a thing?
Not really. It could be achieved, mostly, with a bit of extra work. There is nothing out of the box, although you might find some samples on the web.
The closest thing in FileMaker is button bar with styles. Even this will not auto-update by default across different layouts.
You can use a webviewer based on a global field.
Another solution for older versionsis to use a portal with records creating buttons and a script which will do staff depending in which row button is clicked.
I am using a Navigation Window which may be recalled by either a push button which should be on each layout (you have not to change it because it only recall the Navigation Window) and/or a Script (I use to put it at the first place, as CMD-1).
Of course, you need to manage that the Navigation Window has to be closed before the navigation and execution of the Script managed by your Toolbar while, at the other side, you may add every other navigation need ;-)

Our app is build on wxWidgets and designed to work on two displays. Each display has one wxAuiNotebook which in turn have one wxGLCanvas that we're rendering to.
I'd like a hotkey to be able to switch the two wxGLCanvas windows, so the user experience is that the canvas that was on Monitor #2 is now rendering to #1 and vise versa. (There are a bunch of toolbars and widgets surrounding the canvases, but I don't want them to switch displays.)
wxGLCanvas is a subclass of wxWindow, so I'm guessing it can happen at the level. What functions calls should I be looking at to accomplish this?
Sorry about the vagueness of my question. It aligns with my level of understanding of wxWidgets.
You could indeed use Reparent(), but for two wxGLCanvases it would make much more sense to simply use pointers to them in your code and just flip them when you want to switch them because it's just their contents that matters and not the windows themselves.
I am using template 10 for developing a UWP app and i'm using hamburger template so when a user clicks on a particular category i would like to navigate him to a event list in a master detail view where on left is complete event list in that category and on right selected event details.There is a sample provided and its difficult to understand and don't know how to use the sample in my app along with hamburger navigation.Also as an extra feature if the user clicks on a particular category the hamburger panel should hide and masterdetail view of event should come.And when user click on back button the panel should appear again with that page.
If anyone could help me it would be of great help.Thanks in advance.
There is a really detailed sample in the repository. It has 2 examples in total. 1 a control being developed by a community member. The other is a design based around using basic XAML with visual states along with responsive triggers for screen sizing.
I've implemented the response non-usercontrol variant and it works very well. The other control based scenario has some good features and is being updated often for feature additions and corrections.
Master Detail Sample
I think what you might be looking for here is a slightly simpler thing that we are able to give you. Master/Detail is certainly not splitting the atom. That being said, it's not just a drag and drop thing either. Your are going to need to take a look at the sample. Try to reproduce it exactly into a blank project. It's a great resource, but it's not a control for you to use as much as a sample for you to refer to. I certainly wish I had a simpler answer for you, but this is going to take a little effort on your side to understand the mechanics and implement it. In the end, once you pass that "ah ha" moment, I think you will look back and realize it's simpler than you thought. But until you understand how it works at a fundamental level, it's just going to continue to confuse you. I agree with #mvermef that the visual-state approach (the primary approach) is the easiest and uses the skills you will want to learn for future development, too. But, to that end, please recognize there are TWO approaches in that sample. One uses view-states and the other uses a custom user control. If I were you, don't pick the second approach. The first approach will be easy to understand, easy to implement, and wonderfully helpful to understand for other things later down the road.
I am trying to load bulk images and trying to put them as a slideshow and it's working fine.
Now I would like to have some effects like flip out,ease out effect and fade effect on those images when changing them without using any user control as I would like to do with the existing picturebox.Is it possible to do so?
If so can anyone point me to some resources.
As I have done googling and found some useful links and I am placing here that might helpful to someone.And all these have use seperate usercontrols to do, and I am not looking into that.

The built-in picture box has no such capability. Your solution will require custom-drawing regardless what control you use (assuming you don't get a 3rd party product).
I'm working on a project that will use a Surface table to show web browsers that can be manipulated via the multitouch behaviors. I'd like to be able to show a browser at full screen and then resize, move, etc.
I'd also like to be able to launch a new, separate browser windows that can also be manipulated through multitouch.
Any suggestions on controls to look into for this?
Thanks!
This is a non-trivial task. As far as I know, many have tried and put months of effort into it but none of been very successful. Don't even bother trying to get something to work well based on WPF's built in WebBrowser control. Best bet is to start with the SurfaceScatterView control and trying to put a 'Chromium' control inside of it (http://wpfchromium.codeplex.com/). It appears that even this isn't straightforward though: http://wpfchromium.codeplex.com/discussions/244117
