I'd like to add text on WindowsPhone 8.1 MediaElement fullscreen mode, but I cannot get it visible.
Here is my code:
<Grid>
<MediaElement Name="MyMedia" IsFullWindow="True" MarkerReached="MyMedia_MarkerReached"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="MediaTitles" Text="Hello World" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="55,240,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="99" Width="270" FontSize="48" />
</Grid>
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
The property IsFullWindow="True" is causing the problem. As you might know by now. If I want the media element full screen I usually add it to the grid and span across 1 for column and row. Something like below:
<MediaElement
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Grid.RowSpan="1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="1" />
This gives the same effect as full screen on the device. And you can see your Hello world text in the Designer.

I have a Windows Phone 8 listpicker that I'm trying to change the background color of, however, it only seems to change the item background and not the dropdown box background as you can see in the screen capture. The dropdown box seems to be binded to the WP8 theme. How can I change the background of the entire dropdown box and not just each individual item?
<toolkit:ListPicker x:Name="BackgroundListPicker" Background="Black" ItemsSource="{Binding BackgroundsList}">
<toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate >
<DataTemplate x:Name="BackgroundItemTemplate" >
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Black" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="{Binding BackgroundThumb}" Width="30" Height="30" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BackgroundName}" Foreground="White" Margin="12,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker.ItemTemplate>
</toolkit:ListPicker>
So your issue was that you were attempting to apply an image to an item. When you needed to hit the control itself that the items populate via ItemsPresenter so by pulling out the default style template for the control, and either making a place to pass in your image for an instance, or placing one directly into the template itself. You get your resulting background image for the ListPicker background to fall behind the items populating it.
Glad you found your remedy! Cheers.
i'm using the textblock to display the content,but for the long content, it just cut off and not display the content fully while i'm sure that the i filled the content string. Pls show me where my code is wrong. Thanks

I executed the code shared and it seems to wrap text as shown in the screen shot below.
The screenshot you shared seems to have vertical cropping of the text as well. For that, we can set the ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility to 'Auto' with proper Height given.
Also, for your additional knowledge or may be future use, here are some stackoverflow questions which explains the text 'NOT WRAPPING' issue for StackPanel
TextBlock TextWrapping not wrapping inside StackPanel
TextBlock TextWrapping not wrapping
actually, i fixed it.Because of the limitation of sing UI: 4096px limit of size. So there is a need to split the long content in the more than one TextBlock or you can create a scrollabe textbock as here
I have an issue with popup placement and especially the target origin.
I want to apply a Metro UI style to my combobox so there's no border between the textbox and the itemslist.
It works well when the popup is placed at the bottom
Placement="Bottom"
but when it encounters the bottom edge of the screen the target origin becomes the top of the placement target.
I'd like to know when the target origin changes to the top left corner, that way i could change the borderthickness of the control. Unfortunately the placement property is not reset to the new target origin so I'm a bit lost here.
Here's the code of the usercontrol.
The placement is set to custom here, it's the only workaround i've found to have something that suits me. But if I want metro like comboboxes I need to know where the popup really shows up...
<Grid>
<formElement:LabelBoxPC x:Name="NameFilter"
LabelName="{Binding FilterLabel,
ElementName=UCInlineFilterPreSelected}"
TextBoxCommand="{Binding GoToEntityManagementCommand}"
TextBoxValue="{Binding SearchValue,

UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
<formElement:LabelBoxPC.InputBindings>
<KeyBinding Key="F4" Command="{Binding GoToEntityManagementCommand}" />
</formElement:LabelBoxPC.InputBindings>
</formElement:LabelBoxPC>
<Popup x:Name="ResultsGrid"
Placement="Custom"
IsOpen="{Binding ElementName=NameFilter, Path=TextBoxFocus, Mode=OneWay}"

Here is my xaml code for initializing web browser in my app. But, the web browser appears in white color. I have given all coloring properties as much i know. But it stills in same white color. I need to make it transparent.
Here's my sample image files I captured - http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/6956/rt0n.png
Best answer will be much appreciated.
You can change the background color for webbrowser. Just look at this answer
How to make Webbrowser control with black background in Windows Phone 7.1
Im working on an app for Win Phone 8 and need to make a settings screen.
I created a user control for this.
...omitted the beginning stuff...
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Opacity="0.995" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<ScrollViewer
Name="scrollViewer"
Margin="0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" Background="#CC000000" Opacity="0.995" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0">
<RichTextBox x:Name="MenuLabel" Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Paragraph>
<Run Text="[Menu]"/>
</Paragraph>
</RichTextBox>
I have all my setting options in the stack panel.
While im in portait orientation, everything works fine, listed correctly, scrolls correctly by swiping upward from the bottom of the phone to the top. However, when I rotate the phone to landscape orientation, the control shows correctly but the swiping remains the same. So instead on swiping up from one side to the other, I still need to swipe from the bottom of the phone to the top -- essentially swiping right to left to make the control scroll up.
Am I missing something? Did I forget a setting somewhere? Ive scoured the internet for any clues / advice and could not find anything relevant.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Remove the Opacity property on your ScrollViewer and your Grid, and it will work!
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"
VerticalAlignment="Top">
<ScrollViewer Name="scrollViewer"
Margin="0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
Background="#CC000000"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Margin="0">
<RichTextBox x:Name="MenuLabel"
Height="100"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Paragraph>
<Run Text="[Menu]" />
</Paragraph>
</RichTextBox>
