I am at a standstill with a cool feature I would like to test in an app. In referencing http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Tabbed_interface_with_Pivot_animation_for_Windows_Phone I would like to know how to use my own images for the ImageBar ListBox below. I placed a few standard icons from the Windows Phone 8 SDK in the ListBox, and it seems in referencing the tutorial they must be paths. In the tutorial I did not see any image files anywhere. Any advice, information, or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Note, I have referenced http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/2011/08/how-to-convert-rectangle-to-path.html but the option to Convert to Path in Expression Blend as stated in the article Select the Rectangle and go to the Menu called “Object” –> “Path” –> “Convert to Path”is not available. To note, my image icons are .png format, and in researching further I came across http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/silverlight/en-US/f6620a73-baf3-4f17-a46f-6669b75efb63/convert-icons-into-paths?forum=silverlightnet that states you cannot convert a .png to a path?
You cannot convert .png (or pixels) image to path. For the xaml conversion have to use a vector image as a source.
Here is a solution for the same see the following link.
Converting images to paths
The easiest way to convert vector graphics to XAML
Hope it helps
I recently saw the new Instagram app for Windows Phone, and was wondering how exactly they template their PivotControl to look like the following
I've done a few modifications before such as in How to Remove the Pivot Header but Keep Functionality and How to Change Pivot Header Template in Windows Phone 8 as practice, but I think the icons are much more a unique feel. A few things I am wondering in particular are; How did they change the margins (height) to be so much smaller than the standard Pivot Headers, how did they get icons to scroll and highlight as opposed to the names, and how did they place the title beside the icons?
EDIT***
In following http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Tabbed_interface_with_Pivot_animation_for_Windows_Phone I am confused on how they created the Images and the Paths within MainPage.xaml. Instead I replaced their paths with some standard icons that come with the Windows Phone 8 SDK, but I'm not sure to get the colors to change when selected.

Here's a guide, how to implement similar tabbed pivot on Nokia Wiki:
Tabbed interface with Pivot animation for Windows Phone
These are not pivot headers. They just seem to be like pivot headers because when you swipe, the icons feedback change. Just like twitter app on Windows Phone.
So, they have basically included a pivot, only with the content in it and no headers. Something like this
<controls:Pivot Name="InstagramPivot" SelectionChanged="Instapivot_selectionchanged">
<controls:PivotItem x:Name="HomePivot" Height="auto" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,0,0,0">
</controls:PivotItem>
....
</controls:Pivot>
The top header is a separate grid with the heading Instagram aligned to left and your four icon set aligned to right.
Below the heading you have a pivot with 4 items. When you swipe the pivot to left or right, SelectionChanged event gets called which determines which pivot you are currently on. And based on the SelectedItem, they change the feedback colors of the icons on the top.
private void Instapivot_selectionchanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (InstagramPivot.SelectedItem == HomePivot)
{
//change feedback colors for the icons on the grid
}
}
One more interesting thing to note is that they have tap enabled on those 4 icons, maybe a list with 4 items as icons, so when you tap on the list they do something like this
private void IconsListTap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
if (this.Iconlist.SelectedItem == homeIcon)
{
InstagramPivot.SelectedItem = HomePivot; //this then calls the `SelectionChanged` event which does all your work of pivot SelectionChanged
}
}
In pivot header kindly set the image it will work like these instagram beta app
I am unable to get ScrollView in Kivy to scroll through paragraphs of text. I have attached a code example below. Can anyone state what is wrong? Thank you.

The default size of a Label (and Widget) is (100,100). It doesn't matter if you are seeing all the text on the screen. If you print myLabel.size you will realize of this. You need to be sure to set the height of the Label (myLabel.height: 2200) but first set the size_hint_y to None first (myLabel.size_hint_y=None). The following code should work:

EDIT - RST Document
Depending on your objectives it might be better to use a RSTDocument. Label are just that, labels. They don't adjust to content or text. Think of them as stickers. The (RSTDocment)[http://kivy.org/docs/api-kivy.uix.rst.html], still indicated as highly experimental though is more suitable for long texts, specially if they are dynamic. They actually includes the Scroll.

You can set the Label to be of the size of the texture inside it like this.
FloatLayout:
Label:
# adding a background to see the amount of space the label takes
canvas.before:
Color:
rgba: .5, .5, .5, .5
Rectangle:
size: self.size
pos: self.pos
text: "How can the only thing constant in the universe be `change` when\nchange itself is by it's very nature `not constant`?"
pos_hint: {'center_x': .5, 'center_y': .5}
size_hint: None, None
size: self.texture_size
However with this you would only get a label that just expands how much text is in it and would require you to add \n yourself to make it wrap. A better approach would be to let the text inside the label auto wrap at a certain width by setting text_size something like the following::
FloatLayout:
ScrollView:
# take half of parents size
size_hint: .5, .5
pos_hint: {'center_x': .5, 'center_y': .5}
Label:
canvas.before:
Color:
rgba: .5, .5, .5, .5
Rectangle:
size: self.size
pos: self.pos
text: "\n1. Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, `My friend is dead! What can I do?`\n\n The operator says `Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.`\n\n There is a silence, then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says `OK, now what?`\n\n\n2. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said:\n\n `Watson, look up at the sky, and tell me what you see.`\n\n Watson replied: `I see millions and millions of stars.`\n\n Holmes said: `And what do you deduce from that?`\n\n Watson replied: `Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life.`\n\n And Holmes said: `Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.`\n\n\n3. Three women talk about their husband is performance as lovers.\n\nThe first woman says, `My husband is a marriage counselor, so he always buys me flowers and candy before we make love.`\n\nThe second woman says, `My husband is a motorcycle mechanic. He likes to play rough and use leather sometimes.`\n\nThe third woman shakes her head and says, `My husband works for an Internet company. He just sits on the edge of the bed and tells me how great it's going to be when I get it.` \n\n\n4. As within, so outside. Fractals equations show the possibility of having infinity within minutia.

In html, you can do something like this
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget
aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros.
<em>Etiam nec nisi lorem</em>, ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin,
lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non
pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus.
</p>
It is nice, because the paragraph of text still looks like a paragraph in the markup. In haml, it looks like this
%p
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget
aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros.
%em Etiam nec nisi lorem
, ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin,
lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non
pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus.
Is there any way to totally inline a tag in haml?
Haml excels for structural markup, but it's not really intended for inline markup. Read: Haml Sucks for Content. Just put your inline tags as HTML:
.content
%p
Lorem ipsum <em>dolor</em> sit amet.
Or else use a filter:
.content
:markdown
Lorem ipsum *dolor* sit amet.
I know this is old. But figured I'd post this in case anyone lands here. You can also do this sort of thing in haml (And maybe more what the OP was looking for?).
%p Here is some text I want to #{content_tag(:em, "emphasize!")}, and here the word #{content_tag(:strong, "BOLD")} is in bold. and #{link_to("click here", "url")} for a link.
Useful for those situations where doing it on multiple lines adds spaces you don't want
I.E. When you have a link at the end of a sentence, and don't want that stupid space between the link and the period. (or like in the OP's example, there would be a space between the and the comma.
Just don't get carried away like i did in the example :)
You can inline HTML in any HAML doing
%p!= "Lorem ipsum <em>dolor</em> sit amet"
The != operator means that whatever the right side returns it will be outputted.
As a hybrid of these nice answers by others, I think you can define a Helper method in your application_helper.rb for some inline markups you'd frequently use. You don't need to mix HTML with HAML, nor do you have to type much.
In your helper;
def em(text)
content_tag(:em, text)
end
#def em(text)
# "<em>#{text}</em>".html_safe
#end
In your haml;
%p
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget
aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros.
#{em 'Etiam nec nisi lorem'}, ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin,
lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non
pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus.
It's all about indentation:
%p
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent eget aliquet odio. Fusce id quam eu augue sollicitudin imperdiet eu ac eros.
%em
Etiam nec nisi lorem, ac venenatis ipsum. In sollicitudin, lectus eget varius tincidunt, felis sapien porta eros, non pellentesque dui quam vitae tellus.
I'm taking some user data and adding it to a PowerPoint presentation using VSTO. To get the formatting to look right, though I need to be able to set the left margin of some of the text in the textbox. There will be an initial block of text followed by another, indented block. For example (underlines added to emphasize spacing):
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed
vestibulum elementum neque id rhoncus.
In fermentum eros nec dolor lobortis
sit amet fermentum est consequat.
Curabitur eleifend nunc eu odio
vehicula ut elementum erat aliquam. Ut
adipiscing ipsum sit amet leo pulvinar
hendrerit. Cum sociis natoque
penatibus et magnis dis parturient
montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nulla
non neque in velit lacinia tempor et a
lacus.
___________Cras auctor bibendum urna, a facilisis lacus
lacinia non.
___________Nullam at quam a mauris consequat vulputate sed eu
sapien.
___________Fusce sed urna nulla, ut sagittis lacus. Pellentesque
tortor
___________augue, scelerisque at aliquet a, pretium ac
ipsum.
I can get this effect by setting Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.IndentLevel = 2 on the lower block of text. However, I cannot figure out how to programmatically set the value of the margin. Does anyone know how to do this?
This is taken care of via Shape.TextFrame.MarginRight and Shape.TextFrame.MarginLeft and the like.
