I was trying to add App Bar in my Windows Phone Universal app. Here is the code that I have written on my Project:
<Page.BottomAppBar>
<CommandBar>
<AppBarButton Icon="Accept" Label="AppBarButton"/>
<AppBarButton Icon="Cancel" Label="AppBarButton"/>
</CommandBar>
</Page.BottomAppBar>
The App bar is showing properly in my Windows Phone and Windows Phone Emulator. But the problem that I faced is when I deployed the Windows version to the Local Machine and Simulator, there was no App Bar visible.
I have also tried the TopAppBar. The result was the same. Is there any way to add the App Bar which will work for both the Windows Phone and Local Machine?
Thanks in advance. :)
In Windows Store App, the BottomAppBar and TopAppBar are hidden by default. When you Right-Click your mouse, or Swipe from bottom or top edge on your screen. The BottomAppBar or TopAppBar will appear.
You can see it in Adding app bars (XAML) MSDN
You can set IsOpen property as True to show the app bar when the page loads.
<Page.BottomAppBar>
<CommandBar IsOpen="True">
<AppBarButton Icon="Accept" Label="AppBarButton"/>
<AppBarButton Icon="Cancel" Label="AppBarButton"/>
</CommandBar>
</Page.BottomAppBar>

I'm new to PostgreSQL, just installed it along with pgAdmin4. After installation when I clicked on the pgAdmin4 it start in the browser of IE. But I want that in my chrome browser so I searched for it. Most of the people have mentioned or shared a picture of pgAdmin 4 configuration like this.
They mentioned it like right click the icon in the Windows System Tray and select Configure but the pgAdmin is not showing in the system tray of window 8.1. Or may be I'm misunderstanding about the system tray. Because in windows 8.1 pgAdmin 4 directly opens in browser.
The browser issues is fixed by change by default browser to chrome but I'm still unable to find this configuration setting. Can anyone help me to understand or get this screen?
pgAdmin 4 is a web server, so when you click pgAdmin 4 on the start menu, it starts the web server in the background, then opens a browser to connect to it.
The web server running in the background should have added a small icon to the system tray in the lower right corner.
On my Window 7 it looks like this:
I am trying to set the text color on my UWP app's primary Start Menu tile so that it is black. (I am doing this because my app's icon calls for a white background, and you cannot see white text on a white background.) I found the answer to this question, but it discusses Windows 8 apps, and the UI described in the answer does not seem to exist anymore when developing for Windows 10. Does anyone know how to do this on a Windows 10 UWP app?
The way of doing this in a UWP app has changed slightly. Set the ForegroundText attribute to "dark" in the VisualElements node.
I would like to embed a universal windows app into a classic windows application on windows 10. Is this possible?
The short answer is no. However... depending on what you're trying to do, the information below may help you.
If you just want to get the look and feel of a desktop application, you should be aware that Windows 10 apps (unlike Windows 8 apps) run in non-fullscreen mode by default, and can be resized. Desktop apps in Windows 10 have top-right icons (min/max/resize) that look similar to how UWP apps look in the title bar and top-right icons.
If you're creating a UWP app with XAML, you won't be able to embed it in a desktop application. However, if you're building a Windows 10 app using HTML5 and JavaScript, you could repackage it inside a browser control embedded in a desktop application.
If you're creating a game using a 3rd-party tool such as Unity, you can export it as a Windows desktop application just as easily as exporting to a UWP app for Windows 10. Unity can be used for non-game apps as well, so you could export it to a desktop application today, and still have the option of publish a UWP of the same game/app.
If you were thinking of accessing the full Windows SDK from you UWP app, you won't be able to do so, as you will be restricted by the UWP sandbox. But Windows 10 has made many improvements in helping you get access to many advanced features, e.g. accessing certain locations in the file system, so you may be able to get by with all that UWP has to offer.
If you want to avoid the Windows Store, you may sideload your app, as suggested by an earlier comment.
Hope that helps! :)
Recently I was developing a Universal app for both the Windows Phone and Windows Store. In that app, I was trying to fix the Orientation of the App to Landscape. But in WinRT based apps of Windows Phone 8.1, I failed to find any Orientation option.
In the Silverlight apps, we can fix the Orientations as we want. But is there any way to fix the Orientation to Landscape mode in the Universal Apps?
It will be very helpful if someone help me in this regard. Thanks in advance. :)
Under WinRT you can have a look at DisplayInformation class, where you will find probably all you need.
You can also declare your supported rotations in Package.appxmanifest file in Supported rotations.
Here you can download an example of an App with three Pages, each with different orientation.
We are developing a Windows 8.1 Store-App and using the MediaCapture class to access connected web-cams.
Within the MediaCaptureInitializationSettings we are Setting PhotoCaptureSouce to "Auto".
Works fine including a preview and when the user clicks a button within our App we take the photos.
But now we are using a WebCam with a snapshot button on it.
Any ideas how we can handle this button in our App?
