Windows Phone 7.0 handling text entry screens and keyboard layouts
Posted by Alex | Filed under All, silverlight, wp7
As it happens sometimes, I had to develop simple page with one textbox at the bottom of the page. Designer put attention on this screen – “page title should be visible even with opened keyboard”.
Pretty easy piece of work. Read the rest of this entry…

Secondary Tiles in Mango, Wp7
Posted by Alex | Filed under silverlight, wp7
Hi there!
Here is a short howto on creating secondary tiles in mango from XAML-ed controls:
1. Create usercontrol and set there markup for future tile. Do not use OpacityMask with ImageBrush, it just doesn’t work.
(see attached example, just ordinary usercontrol)
2. Render tiles to Isolated storage
internal static StandardTileData PrepareModelTile(ViewModel selectedModel)
{
var frontTileImage = SecondaryTileHelper.GetModelTileFrontImage(selectedModel);
var backTileImage = SecondaryTileHelper.GetModelTileBackImage(selectedModel);
using (var store = System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
if (!store.DirectoryExists(@"Shared\ShellContent"))
{
store.CreateDirectory(@"Shared\ShellContent");
}
using (var stream = store.OpenFile(@"Shared\ShellContent\secondarytile_front.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
frontTileImage.SaveJpeg(stream, (int)Constants.SecondaryTileSize, (int)Constants.SecondaryTileSize, 0, 100);
}
using (var stream = store.OpenFile(@"Shared\ShellContent\secondarytile_back.jpg", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
backTileImage.SaveJpeg(stream, (int)Constants.SecondaryTileSize, (int)Constants.SecondaryTileSize, 0, 100);
}
}
StandardTileData newTileData = new StandardTileData
{
BackgroundImage = new Uri("isostore:/Shared/ShellContent/secondarytile_front.jpg", UriKind.Absolute),
BackBackgroundImage = new Uri("isostore:/Shared/ShellContent/secondarytile_back.jpg", UriKind.Absolute)
};
return newTileData;
}
3. Pin tile
private void MagicButtonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ViewModel model = new ViewModel()
{
Name = "Futurama",
Episode = "S02E08",
ImagePath = new Uri("/futurama.png", UriKind.Relative),
};
string currentTileUrl = string.Format("/Viewer.xaml?name={0}&episode={1}", model.Name, model.Episode);
// Look to see whether the Tile already exists and if so, don't try to create it again.
ShellTile currentModelTile = ShellTile.ActiveTiles.FirstOrDefault(x => x.NavigationUri.ToString() == currentTileUrl);
//if tile exists, delete and create new one (useful for debug)
if (currentModelTile != null)
{
currentModelTile.Delete();
}
StandardTileData newTileData = SecondaryTileHelper.PrepareModelTile(model);
ShellTile.Create(new Uri(currentTileUrl, UriKind.Relative), newTileData);
}
Here is how it looks:

Mango ScrollViewer Issue
Posted by Alex | Filed under silverlight, wp7
Recently I found out that on Mango Beta 2 Refresh (SDK 7.1 RC) page with simple scrollviewer and long vertical content can be scrolled also horizontally (yay!)
Google didn’t suggest anything so I had to dive into that issue myself.
So, basically, issue is caused by HorizontalScrollBarVisibility=”Hidden” property value of ScrollViewer.
Without it you can do only verticall scrolling, and if you accidentally put this property on, then you can do both horizontal and vertical scrolling.
Here is video with normal and wrong behavior:
