I am trying to load bulk images and trying to put them as a slideshow and it's working fine.
Now I would like to have some effects like flip out,ease out effect and fade effect on those images when changing them without using any user control as I would like to do with the existing picturebox.Is it possible to do so?
If so can anyone point me to some resources.
As I have done googling and found some useful links and I am placing here that might helpful to someone.And all these have use seperate usercontrols to do, and I am not looking into that.

The built-in picture box has no such capability. Your solution will require custom-drawing regardless what control you use (assuming you don't get a 3rd party product).

I'm currently building an app where I use a PivotControl as the standard navigation. I managed to style the headers now but after some thought I realised that I should probably make the whole app sizeable for different screens. Not every screen (especially in IoT scenarios) will be a full HD screen :D
Thats the current control:
My problem now is that when I make the screen and the PivotItem smaller it just cuts off the end of the pivots like you can see at the right of the picture.
What I would rather have is that when the PivotItem gets smaller I want the Headers to stack.
Like in this quickly googled example:
But I don't know how I should make that possible...
Does anybody have an idea?
What are you trying to build?
Could the content be organized in other way?
Pivots or similar controls (tabs, segmented controls etc) work best with few items that are important to the user and deserve the central stage.
The screenshot you added violates several UI best practices and I suggest you find an alternative to structure your UI that is user friendly.
I want to write a program that creates cool effects in VB.NET.
Few example of what the program should do:
How to make an intro to my program? I know how to make a splash form but can I put an animated logo?
I want to put effects to buttons, such as the effects in the (HTML-CSS) websites, and also in the professional programs.
Finally , Can I make notification-icon (Tool-Tip), like Avast 2015 ? > http://imgur.com/65DbXoN
You might be able to modify a splash screen for an animated logo. Try using a picture box with a logo picture in a .gif format. However I've never tried that before.(Worth a shot tho)
For button effects there are many ways to do it. You can add sounds, add pictures/icons,ect.
I've never done much with tool tips before, however they can be done. To make them look like the image you provided, I don't think would be easy.
I would like to have a ComboBox that handles large amounts of content by loading them asynchronously inside a Loader, so I can display a little BusyIndicator over the drop-down.
Is it maybe possible to achieve this through a style? I want to avoid having to recreate a ComboBox from scratch.
No. It may be possible in the future, though:
This one is a bit tricky to get right, and is still work in progress. It is not difficult to style the popup background, the same way it's currently doable for MenuStyle. What remains, as you pointed out, is to make that API public.
What we can't promise, is to be able to style the popup window shape. If QtQuick was backing store based, then most platforms support shaping the window. But QtQuick is OpenGL based, and desktop platforms support this in different ways. On mobile and embedded platforms, we can't use a separate window, so we need to build an abstraction that would use Item-based popups.
I'd suggest voting for and watching QTBUG-39476 if you're interested in this feature and don't want to write your own ComboBox.
Essentially I want to re-size my dateTimePicker control to fit its parent container. I have tried to do this both through the Control Editor and programmatically but I simply cannot get the drop down calendar to expand at all. So 2 part question:
a) Is this even possible to do?
b) Is there an easy-to-implement solution to having a good looking calendar that fits its parent field? (i.e. using a data grid or something similar)
Any help or knowledge is greatly appreciated!!!
The size of both objects is fixed and defined by the size of its font. Thus you might change its size by affecting the font size. This works fine with DateTimePicker but does not seem to work with MonthCalendar. After a quick research I have found a pretty curious recommendation on the MSDN forum: "you can consider third party MonthCalendar controls to meet your requirement temporarily".
There are quite a few third-party options (after a really quick search I found this) or you might even create one by your own. I personally haven't ever had any problem with the in-built controls but if the size is so important for you I guess that you would have to search/develop something by your own.
Further recommendation: rely on WPF which does contain a resizable control (DatePicker). I want to highlight here that I don't like WPF at all and that thus this recommendation is because I don't see any other option (inside .NET).
I'm working on a project that will use a Surface table to show web browsers that can be manipulated via the multitouch behaviors. I'd like to be able to show a browser at full screen and then resize, move, etc.
I'd also like to be able to launch a new, separate browser windows that can also be manipulated through multitouch.
Any suggestions on controls to look into for this?
Thanks!
This is a non-trivial task. As far as I know, many have tried and put months of effort into it but none of been very successful. Don't even bother trying to get something to work well based on WPF's built in WebBrowser control. Best bet is to start with the SurfaceScatterView control and trying to put a 'Chromium' control inside of it (http://wpfchromium.codeplex.com/). It appears that even this isn't straightforward though: http://wpfchromium.codeplex.com/discussions/244117
