I'm new about win8 and developing visual studio.
I use Grid template and i wondering...
How to hide all items, but not Group name and group box.. I have too many items and i do want all item to this page. When click group box or title, find groupdetail page and there is all this group items?
Thanks.
The Grid template won't display all your items on the GroupedItemsPage. It uses the TopItems property in the view model to show at most 12 items. If you look in SampleDataSources.cs you'll see code (with a hard coded value - sigh) of 12 in ItemsCollectionChanged.
So, you could modify the 12 value if you want fewer, or if you want NO items to appear on the GroupedItemsPage, remove the GridView and perhaps replace it with a ListView whose ItemsSource is the group headers, but that's a bit more work and a change in the UI, which by all means is fine to do.
These templates are just a starting point, and we'd encourage you to make changes that make sense to provide the best user experience for your app.

I'm maintaining a C# application written with windows forms. I now need to have a list view where every item has a few custom controls.
Every item need to have title and a combobox. The problem is that the data for the custom boxes will be different. So for example Item 1 could have a ComboBox where you can pick 1-3. Item 2 would have a combo box where you can pick 1-2.
So in the property column I need a string, and in the value column a combobox, with different data sets for different items (or at least for different kinds of items)
I've been on this problem for a while, and I don't really know where to go from here.
Why don't you use a Property Grid control? It is composed by two columns, the left one being a fixed text for the key/title and the right one is dynamic, in the sense you can have comboboxes, textboxes, color selection controls, etc. for the value the user can input/select.
I have a large collection of items with several parameters, so i'd like to give a user a possibility to have different filters: like order by time, by alphabet, or by categories.
How should i implement filter selection in Metro style? Should it be a menu items like this, but with "filter by alphabet" instead of "menuitem 1" ?
Edit:
Some more details: so, assume we have Movie items with 4 fields: name, year of release, genre and main actor's name. I'd like to allow user to set filtering by 1 of those 4 fields. Actually, it is not filtering or sorting, its more like categorizing.
Ok, i found this thing, looking quite nice.
Edit: though, be careful, it is not working the same as on the picture. At least, current version is not fading the screen, so other controls still would react on user input and Back button.
No way - the AppBar menu is not the way to go. For filtered content, you would normally use LongListSelector (both on WP7 and WP8). The filtering can be set by you when you group (or re-group) the items bound to the control - for the filter setter you could use any control (e.g. a auto-complete text input control or a ListPicker).
I need to implement a radio button logic(multiple possibilities, one choice) with another look and feel.
The look and feel should be similar to this:
Meaning: an image, a title and a small description, no radio button but a border for the selected one.
I want to know if you know any existing components that can do this(in c# or in devexpress library) or if I have to implement this myself.
Thank you!
This looks like a list view, not a radio box. See MSDN help here.
View.Details enumeration:
Each item appears on a separate line with further information about each item arranged in columns. The left-most column contains a small icon and label, and subsequent columns contain sub items as specified by the application. A column displays a header which can display a caption for the column. The user can resize each column at run time.
View.Tile enumeration
Each item appears as a full-sized icon with the item label and subitem information to the right of it. The subitem information that appears is specified by the application. This view is available only on Windows XP and the Windows Server 2003 family. On earlier operating systems, this value is ignored and the ListView control displays in the LargeIcon view.
With RadioButton you can set Appearance=Button, use also Image property.
I finally found the DevExpress SimpleButton components that could do such behavior
I have a project where I have a list of appointments:
Appointment:
Name
City
Street
I want to display those in a ListView, and group them on 2 levels, first by city, and then by street. I also want to be able to collapse the items on both levels and style the header differently.
Is something like that possible in a ListView in WinRT?
I thought about using a ListView in a ListView. But that's not possible because I want to use single selection mode. Or is there some way I can enforce this?
Personally I would keep it simple.
In the Cineworld app I created, in cinema details xaml page, I give users options to view
* Films showing today (grouped by first char)
* Films grouped by date
* All films listed (grouped by first char).
These were all very different options and I settled on a combination of radio button and multiple grouped listview (within semantic zoom).
The solution has worked well so far.
I'm new to the "Telerik"-controls and I have a few questions! First of all, I'll give you a small resume of what we want to achieve and how I did it for now.
The customers has several clients who come to present themselves and they need to fill in their qualities (language skills, education, ....). Therefor we've created some templates (that already contains some crucial data). The templates can be hierarchical => Language Skill Dutch has two children : "Writing", "Speaking". They see that in an Hiearchical treeview (for now).
If they select the item in that tree, they automatically create a quality (with the templateid, contactid, etc...) for that type of template. Each time they call the treeview for that contact, the template who has a quality will be checked! And if they click on "Edit", they'll be able chaging some info of the quality.
That's in short what it does now and what's behind it. Now, they wanted a nicer looking method without having popups and such (everything in one screen). Then i found the "RadTreeList" of telerik. But for now I'm having the following problems :
The root of the tree can't be selected (best would be that the checkbox is hidden) => how do I achieve this?
Is it possible to hide the "EDIT"-button on the root? The root should never be selected on his own (no qualities for root elements).
So the big question, how can I take an item while looping through the whole treelist collection and say that I don't want to show checkbox and such?
With my treeview I iterated through all the nodes and then I did the needed modifications. But 1 => It was slow, 2 => It looked that nice, 3 => It didn't match they look of the CRM 2011.
What i've already achieved is showing everything hiearchical and select the "Node-Templates" (if I can call it so) that contains Qualities.
Hopefully you have enough info... If there are better alternatives, I'm open for everything, but it's kind off urgent, cause we'll have a demo-session soon :)
Info => It has to be in ASP.NET (C#)
It is true that you cannot select the 'root' of the treelist, but you can place an item in the first column to add new items at root level as illustrated here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/treelist/examples/dataediting/net35automaticdataediting/defaultcs.aspx.
To hide the edit button for root level items, listen to the ItemCreated event, locate the edit button in the root items only and set its Visible property to false. This should work for checkboxes or other server controls inside the treelist rows and you do not have to perform explicit loops through the items later on.
