In UWP XAML you can use TextBlock
<TextBlock FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" FontSize="40"></TextBlock>
or
FontIcon/Glyph
<FontIcon FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" Glyph=""/>
How does one do it in XAMARIN.FORMS?
you may also use the same style in UWP XAML.
for example,you can add a label in the portable project
<Label Text=""
FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets"
VerticalOptions="Center"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
In the uwp test ,the text icon is showing in the device.

I'd really like to use RelativePanel in a UWP app I'm writing, to simplify visual state.
This is what I want
I've tried to achieve this with the following XAML:
<RelativePanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="Title" Height="50" Margin="15" FontSize="24"
RelativePanel.AlignTopWithPanel="True"
RelativePanel.AlignLeftWithPanel="True"
RelativePanel.AlignRightWithPanel="True">
</TextBlock>
<TextBox x:Name="Editor" Margin="15" Padding="20" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
RelativePanel.AlignLeftWithPanel="True"
RelativePanel.Below="Title"
RelativePanel.RightOf="FileList">
</TextBox>
<ListView x:Name="FileList" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="15"
RelativePanel.AlignRightWithPanel="True"
RelativePanel.Below="Title">
</ListView>
</RelativePanel>
This isn't working. Editor does not stretch. If I set Editor to RelativePanel.AlignRightWith="FilesList", it stretches past files list and fills the window.
Is there any way to do what I want with RelativePanel? Please don't post suggestions on how to do this in Grid, I can already do that - I want to use RelativePanel in this case
Your Editor control should have -
RelativePanel.AlignLeftWithPanel="True"
RelativePanel.Below="Title"
RelativePanel.LeftOf="FileList"
RelativePanel.AlignBottomWithPanel="True"
Note it should be LeftOf, not RightOf. You will also need AlignBottomWithPanel set to True.
I'm trying to use icon font from weather-icons in an UWP application.
In my XAML I have something like
<Grid.Resources>
<FontFamily x:Key="WeatherFonts">/Assets/Fonts/weathericons-regular-webfont.ttf#Weather Icons</FontFamily>
</Grid.Resources>
<TextBlock x:Name="tbFontAwesome"
Text="{Binding CurrentWeather.Icon}"
FontFamily="{StaticResource WeatherFonts}"
Foreground="White"
FontSize="72"/>
In my ViewModel I'm setting the
CurrentWeather.Icon = ""
If I just hardcode this in the XAML, it works fine.
<TextBlock x:Name="tbFontAwesome"
Text=""
FontFamily="{StaticResource WeatherFonts}"
Foreground="White"
FontSize="72"/>
When I use the hardcoded XAML, the icon shows up just fine, but if I try doing the binding to the string, the TextBlock just shows the string and not the icon.
Try System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode("").
I am trying to add fontWeight="Light" in my windows phone app. but it is not working on designer it shows light font on emulator or device it does not make font thiner at all.
<TextBlock Text="Some text in normal" FontSize="22" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontWeight="Normal" />
<TextBlock Text="Some text in normal" FontSize="22" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontWeight="Light" />
here is how it looks on device.
Here is how it looks in VS designer.
What I am doing wrong
Change font family from Segoe UI to Segoe WP.
I want to customize my message dialog as shown in following figure
How do I perform that I have prepared xaml for this
<StackPanel Name="rootStackPanel" Height="Auto" Background="#363636" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<StackPanel Margin="10">
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,10" Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock x:Name="HeadingText" x:FieldModifier="public" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationMessageBoxHeadingStyle}" Text="Alert" />
<Image Margin="10,05,0,0" Source="/Assets/Images/alert.png" Width="35"></Image>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="ContentText" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationMessageBoxErrorStyle}" Text="Pease enter a valid plate number" />
<Button x:FieldModifier="public" Name="OkButton" Margin="0,20,0,0" Padding="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Content="Ok" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationThemeButtonStyle}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
The exact look you have there is non-standard, and if you want that exact thing you'll need to write some custom code. If the important part is the icon in the alert title then this is pretty easy with a ContentDialog.
The MessageDialog isn't customizable, but the ContentDialog is. There is a template to add a new ContentDialog to your project with the Add.New Item... menu.
Once you have your ContentDialog files you can customize the template to title its button "OK":
<ContentDialog
x:Class="MyApp.AlertDialog"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:MyApp"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="Alert"
PrimaryButtonText="OK"
PrimaryButtonClick="ContentDialog_PrimaryButtonClick"
>
And include your alert.png along with the Title in the title template. A more advanced version would allow binding different icons for different purposes.You could also fill a path instead of drawing a png so the icon will scale more easily.
<ContentDialog.TitleTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Foreground="{ThemeResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
<Image Source="/Assets/Images/alert.png" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ContentDialog.TitleTemplate>
And then include the rest of the contents in the ContentDialog's Xaml:
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:FieldModifier="public" x:Name="ContentText" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationMessageBoxErrorStyle}" Text="Pease enter a valid plate number" />
</StackPanel>
This will put the OK button in its standardized location at the bottom right. If you want to include it with the text you can stick it in your StackPanel like in your sample code and not set the PrimaryButtonText on the ContentDialog.
Create a Usercontrol in the project.
Put the entire xaml code in the Usercontrol.
Now you can use this Usercontrol as a popup wherever you want to use it.
Popup msgpopup = new Popup( );
msgpopup.child = new CustomisedMessageDialogControl(); //name of ur Usercontrol
And to open this Dialog simply,
msgpopup.IsOpen = true;
My environment is: Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1 using C++/CX and XAML.
I have a very simple MenuFlyout attached to a button that has a very odd behavior. You can click it once then selected a MenuFlyoutItem, however if you click it a second time it inverts all the colors on the page (such as the background turns white, which was black).
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="55" Width="434" FontSize="25">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding DataContext.EmployeeList[0].PayFrequency, Mode=TwoWay}" Foreground="White"/>
<Button.Flyout>
<MenuFlyout Placement="Top">
<MenuFlyoutItem x:Name="WeeklyOption" Text="Weekly" Click="WeeklyOption_Click"/>
<MenuFlyoutItem x:Name="BiWeeklyOption" Text="Bi-Weekly" Click="BiWeeklyOption_Click"/>
<MenuFlyoutItem x:Name="MonthlyOption" Text="Monthly" Click="MonthlyOption_Click"/>
<MenuFlyoutItem x:Name="BiMonthlyOption" Text="Bi-Monthly" Click="BiMonthlyOption_Click"/>
</MenuFlyout>
</Button.Flyout>
</Button>
as far as I can tell I'm not messing with any Styles or any colors anywhere.
