I've been struggling to add a calendar control to my windows phone 8.1 silverlight application but i found nothing, i used syncfusion calendar control once but it was a windows phone 8.1 application not silverlight one, please anyone can provide a useful information?
You could take a look at the Calendar control for WindowsPhone Silverlight from ComponentOne. You could download it from https://www.componentone.com/Downloads/Download/?downloadID=133 and refer to its documentation at : http://helpcentral.componentone.com/nethelp/WPCalendar/
I need to add a RichTextBox or RichTextBlock to my Windows Phone App. I started developing my app in Windows Phone Sileverlight 8.1. I could add "<RichTextBox> </RichTextBox>" in xaml page, and it shows the RichTextBox control in the designer. But when I install the application in my Windows Phone, the RichTextBox control is not working, means we cannot insert any text in the box.
Please help me to resolve this problem. Is there any alternative toolkit for getting RichTextBox/RichTextBlock in my app.
What controls were used to make it? It functions like a tab control in windows form applications. but there is no tab control in windows 8.1 xaml.
I have a chat application written in VB.net. It uses SetWindowPos function to set the window to top when a new chat message is received. It works fine also.But in windows 8 it will not bring the window to front when windows 8 apps like reader or photo is running.These apps will be running with full screen mode in Windows 8. So my chat application windows is not appearing at the top when popup occurs. So how can i make it to appear even when these windows 8 apps are running in full screen mode.
Applications with 'UIAccess' are allowed to display on top of the full screen apps. Look at the answer to Windows 8 Layered Windows Over Metro Apps. This question is about layered windows, but that makes no difference. Eric's problem was the same as yours, that his window was not displaying on top of the Metro interface.
In short, you need to:
Declare uiAccess="true" in your application's manifest
Your executable needs to be digitally signed with a trusted certificate.
Your application needs to be installed in a trusted location, i.e. Program Files
We have created a C# windows form application that uses an ActiveX control to display video stream. Now we are planning to develop the same application in windows phone.
Is it possible to use ActiveX controls (OCX Files) in windows phone development?
No its not. You can only use Silverlight and XNA on Windows Phone.
You already have a Media content available using Silverlight that you can use to stream Video. You can find more information here:
