I'd like to simulate navigation and basic functionality using Balsamiq to simulate an iOS app.
I created a series of Balasmiq layouts and I'd like to connect these into an interactive slide show, wherein the individual buttons within each layout connects to a different screen.
Is this possible or do I have to use another tool like Flash?
Balsamiq will allow you to link elements to each other. When you select an object the properties window has a "Link" dropdown and you can link to any other wireframe file in the same directory as the one you are working on. This then puts an arrow next to the control you are working with so that if you Alt+click that arrow you go to the linked form. If you export the entire directory as a PDF you will have a presentation that will work seamlessly with all links being functional.
Here is the tutorial for linking:

When I use OpenView in Domino Designer, all the Views are presented in the Menu Bar. How can I make sure that only one view is presented and at the same time do not hide the other Views so I can use them to other Hotspot Button. Thank you.
The easiest is to create an outline with the views. You can organize the views in expandable groups, specify icons for each view, and much more.
You then create a page where you insert the outline, set the fonts and formatting, etc.
Finally you create a frameset and put the page with the navigation menu in one of the frames.
I created a simple template with all this several years ago, you can find it at http://blog.texasswede.com/free-application-templateframework-for-notes/
Download it and take a look at how it's done there.
I have a floating action button and when the users taps on it I want a layout to be shown, animating from the bottom exactly like the Google Drive app (so not covering the whole screen).
I read someone suggest the open source Umano's AndroidSlidingUpPanel but that is more similar to the Google Play Music app and I don't want that as I don't need the panel to be draggable/slidable.
What component should I use?
This is the Bottom sheet component. Check out its specs:

There are third libraries for the bottom sheet if you don't want to make it your self.
I have created a simple waveform with two components in RedHawk v1.9.0 running on CentOS. I am attempting to export it for running outside the IDE and thought I could use the link for Export Wizard in the Exporting section of the Overview page (as described on 19.4.2 of the manual), but when I click on it, I get a whirling circle for as long as the mouse hovers over the link, but no new dialogs come up and if the mouse leaves the link, even that goes away. Why can I not get the export wizard?
Have you tried exporting the Waveform by dragging and dropping it from the projects view window onto the SDRROOT in the SCA Explorer window? This installs the waveform into SDRROOT (also works for components, devices, etc.), which is the same thing that the export wizard does.
Unfortunately I don't know what the problem with the wizard itself is, but hopefully this will provide a work around.
This seems to be fixed in RedHawk v1.10. So I do not need any additional help.
Iwould like to add a button at the end of a listView in the same way as the bing apps do (see picture for example).
I looked for hours in google and in the microsoft documentation but canøt find anything that can give me an idea of how to do this.
Did anyone achieved this?
thanks
If you run that app (Health & Fitness), then run Visual Studio and use Debug > Attach to Process, you can open the DOM Explorer and examine how that UI is implemented.
What you'll see in this case is that it's not using a ListView at all, but rather it's own custom control that's just based on a CSS grid. That is, just because there's a grid-like view doesn't mean it's a ListView. You can always use straight HTML/CSS layout to achieve these sorts of things, which is all that's happening here. As such, it just makes separate div's for those two "More" elements.
Now if you do want to use a ListView, there are a few things you can do. First of all, if you want to render any item in a ListView differently than others, you have to make sure to use a different template. What this means is that you use an item rendering function rather than a declarative template, which then enables you to examine the item data and programmatically decide what kind of rendering to perform.
Second, if you want to have items of different sizes, then you need to use cell spanning. In Windows 8.0/WinJS 1.0 this is a property of the GridLayout. In Windows 8.1/WinJS 2.0 you instead use the CellSpanningLayout.
I have all the details for both rending functions and cell spanning written up in Chapter 7 of my second edition preview of Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which is a free ebook from Microsoft Press so it doesn't cost you anything. :)
I want to design own custom backstage view tab that has desing like standard tab FileNew.
How can I (and can I at all) use such tab elements like scrollable button set or large borderless button with text at bottom of one.
There are elements in the BackStage Tabs which are built-in and not available form the programming side. For example, all the individual controls on the Print Backstage Tab cannot be re-used by a developer. I'm afraid that we have the same problem with the File New Backstage. The previews are built-in. You can verify this if you look into the WordControls.xlsx file delivered with the Office 2010 Control-IDs download: There are no controls for the TabNew except for "GroupNewFormTemplates", "GroupNew2003Dialog" and "GroupNewFormPreview".
You can only re-use controls which are defined in the Ribbon Scheme, as Combobox, Edit Control, Button, and so on.
So to display your templates, you must use these default controls, or built something completely different.
