As you can see the progress bar there, I am trying to create that same progress bar in VB WinForms. I was able to find an image of the blue bar line and just put it into a picturebox on the form, but I can't get the shiny thing to come out. You can see the exact animation here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00nbQEvA1yg#t=10s
Any help is appreciated.
If you don't have a moving image type like gif or if you don't have a video version of loading animation, you simply have no way to get it moving properly. Only way would be creating a similar animation using DirectX or OpenGL from scratch or rendering a video of that and embedding it to your form, which are not simple at all.
Also you should not forget about copyright!

Is the image slider that the Windows 8 Camera app uses available as a control within the framework? It has nice transitions between images and provides previous and next buttons.
There is callisto refernce in nuget there you can find flipview like windows 8 app store
There is a FlipView control if you are referring to that.
You have some similar controls already built-in, such as FlipView if you want the previous and next buttons.
But if you want all the features in the image gallery application (with zooming capabilities), you will have to create your own component. I did, and it was quite painful, but sadly I did not have the time to package it properly to share with the community. Maybe someone else did it.
Hello i am new to Mono for android. I am trying to make a Calculator, in a normal windows forms application.
I can Drag a button or textbox to any position I want but how does that work in Mono for android, I want the buttons next to each other not only downwards. If I place buttons under eachother that go out of the framework I dont want that either..
I am not English il hope you will understand.
please help.
Android "supports", but has deprecated and doesn't endorse, pixel-perfect layout. Unfortunately the Windows Forms-style of dragging and dropping controls onto a design surface at specific pixel locations requires pixel perfect layout, so you can see the mismatch here.
For a Calculator, what you would instead want to do use a Table Layout or some other "resizable" container, so that your Activity can support the variety of device sizes that Android covers.
I'm searching now for a while but can't find an entrance…
The application should behave like a ruler app which is always in front of all apps and does not have a window. I want to draw things directly on the screen.
Would be great if someone could help me out with some keywords to search for or a concrete step into.
Thanks in advance.
Create a borderless transparent NSWindow and draw your content inside it. There are many examples for creating those around.
Use setLevel: to control how the window floats over other windows.
I've got a tabbed iPad application with just about each tab running a UIWebView. I'm getting all sorts of callbacks, like when a user tries to leave the corporate site (which only displays the company site to users). In this case, I pop up a "toast" style window that tells them to click a button to open the page in Safari. I also pop it up with a spinner and no text to indicate that a page is loading. The approximate look that I'm going for is used in lots of applications, but you can see it best when changing the volume on the iPhone or iPad. It's just a translucent rounded square that fades in and out.
Right now I've got it implemented on one of my tabs, and I did it by creating the objects (a spinner, a label, and a UIImage with the square) and then programmatically hiding and showing them using [UIView beginAnimations] and changing the label's text. It works perfectly but I've got these nagging things hovering over my interface in Xcode, and it takes a lot of setup to accomplish if I wanted it to be in another tab, which I do. I can't help but think that there's a better way to accomplish this. I thought about making and adding a subview, but that would leave a white background to the toast. What I'm thinking is creating some sort of object that I can allocate in a tab's view controller whenever it's needed.
What are your guys ideas, or have you done this in the past? I see it in a lot of prominent applications, like Reeder, so I'm sure it's been done more eloquently than I have done it.
Matt Gallagher has a great class called LoadingView here Showing message over iPhone Keyboard. I use it.
MBProgressHUD is a popular library for this, as well.
I am trying to design a feature in my application for the iPhone that simulates the Springboard feature (Main menu of the iPhone that allows you to view more apps), or the way Weather application works that allows you to flip between views.
Does anyone have any samples of this how I would go about doing this. It's seems very trivial but I am wondering if I am missing something that is already available either as an Apple example or someone who did a tutorial on this.
The image below show how the user would use it.

As they slide their finger to the right (or left) the other image would begin to show up. And it would animate smoothly. The faster you swiped your finger the faster it would move to the next view.
Update: The other feature is that it should mimic the same feel when you slide your hand across the display that is snaps to the current view into place. It should not keep sliding across if there is more than 1 view to the direction you swiping your finger.
I've seen other applications use this so that is why I am asking.
This is accomplished using the UIScrollView with the pagingEnabled property set to true. Just add each of your views, adjust the contentSize, and it will automatically "page" to the width of the screen across the content.
There is a sample app (with code) with exactly this functionality on the iPhone developer site on Apple.com (I believe it's called "PageControl".) - I'd suggest checking it out.
d.
I'm writing an app that uses a similar UI. As NilObject recommended, we're using a UIScrollView with pagingEnabled=YES.
You may also be interested in this example code involving just two child views. I'm trying it out now; it's an interesting technique but I've had to write some additional special-casing code for some odd situations that resulted.
There's also another question on this site that asks about creating a grid of icons like the home screen.
I would check out Joe Hewitt's code from the Three20 project for this. It provides a nice interface and further refinement of the UIScrollView implemented as TTScrollView and TTScrollViewDelegate, TTScrollViewDataSource.
