Am developing windows mobile app in 8.1. Looking for a control like List view carousel.
Only one item needs to be shown at a time. User needs to swipe to go next / previous item. Order will be highlighted in below dots
Use a flipview. Check this for more info https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh781233.aspx
You could create a control containing a Pivot with custom template for Image, header textblocks and other things you want and a LitView, also with custom template for showing which item is selected. It will need to change selected index according to pivot changes.
As Sjon wrote, nobody will code it for you so after my hints I think you should manage to build it.

I have a left expandable menu item , I would like to add to the master page a series of tiles with those menu items , like a hyperlink to the actual menu. that looks like below
what would it be the best approach to do this using Xamarin forms , not using renders or effects
Thanks
If there are a fixed number of items you can just use a grid to lay them out.
If you don't know ahead of time how many items, or the number may vary, the FlowListView plugin is probably the best bet.

Is there any way to create expandable lists on Titanium? I want the ListItem to expand and show extra info when the user clicks on a dropdown icon, just like in the image below:
I'm not sure if this can be achieved in Titanium.
This should not be a Titanium specific question because there are multiple ways to create such a list in any platform, be it Titanium, native Android/iOS or any other platform.
It depends on you which way you prefer. Using ListView, you can simply create a ListView & add ListItems or child-views in a ListItem upon clicking a parent list-item, and do vice-versa on deleting or hiding the content.
You will need to take care about the clicking events when to add/when to delete or hide the content, though it will require lot of coding but it will be worth doing so because then you can understand how things behind the scenes work. It's time taking to provide you a code-base here, so I suggest you to start working on to create this feature or you can take a look here at this sample code - Expandable ListView
I have a VB10 app that uses panels, one for menu, one for main screen and then i want to add one for a breadcrumb menu. I use user controls to display in pnlMain and would like the breadcrumb trail to add an link with user control info every time I add a screen to pnlmain...and remove the link when I click on the previous link.
I would like to build the links dynamically like they do here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17714/Create-a-Breadcrumb-Menu-in-VB-NET-WinForms,
but I couldnt get the links to display when I ran the solution.
and if I get the links to show, how do I associate the user control to that link?
Thank you for your help. The breadcrumb shouldnt go more than 3-4 levels deep
I am trying to find the difference between the uses of a basic page and a blank page on windows store apps. I am writing an application that has multiple pages and I am not sure which one to use for my main page and I can't seem to find an answer that is helpful.
Basic Page inherits Common.LayoutAwarePage. This gives your page various capabilities like the automatic back button and a visualstatemanager for snapping among other things.
Blank Page only inherits Page and does not get any of the above capabilities. So for example if you need to incorporate snapped view in your page, you need to add a handler for the size changed event in your code.
A Basic Page makes it very easy to just write all the snapped changes in your VisualStateManager in XAML and then test it without running your code using just the device tab where you can select state of your device.
The MainPage in your project is a Blank Page and I prefer to create all other pages as Basic Pages to not worry about stuff like the back button.
That being said, Windows 8.1 apps do not include the LayoutAwarePage so if you are not used to the LayoutAwarePage, do not bother.
Let me know if you need more clarification.
Go with the Basic Page as it gives you automatic back button your view's title etc, and if you don't need them you can disable them also. But for blank page you have to write code for those common things.
This blog post will help you in understanding of Basic Page vs Blank Page.

I currently have a a pretty standard jqgrid that I would like to change the navGrid icons dynamically. The grid shows some standard data with limited navGrid icons (like search) but if you log in to the site it will allow you do add, edit, etc. So I would like to turn on/off certain icons under certain situations. I have not been able to find any way to do this.
Look at the demo which I made for the answer. Another demo from the answer shows one how to disable/enable buttons from the navigator bar instead of show/hide there. I think it's what you can do.
