'Correct' term for.. upwards moving menu? - menu

Dropdown menu.
But ours open upward - 'popup', as in 'popup menu' has proved oddly confusing to some of our business oriented folk. So we tried throwing in 'vertical menu' and then.. this was a mistake.. 'vertical animating menu'.. so what would you call it?

Perhaps a "rise-up" or "spring-up" menu? If there's an animation attached to it, maybe a slide-up or a fade-in menu.
I understand the confusion about "popup" since many people think of popups as new browser windows that appear when you click a link.

"Context menus" are context-sensitive menus that appear at the site of a user interaction, such as a right-mouse click.
"Pull-down" menus are those that appear in menu bars.

Change UWP menu button icon image in title bar (simple way)

I want a hamburger menu button in my UWP app title bar.
I already know how to make a "back" button visible in the title bar and how to handle its clicked event.
I have seen samples of how to customize the title bars colors and stuff, and I have also seen some samples of how to put controls in it, but its all too much complicated.
Here is a hamburger menu which is really simple but functional. No code-behind, just XAML.
https://github.com/vborovikov/hamburger
The hamburger button sits below the title bar like in any other Windows 10 apps.
If you are looking for a simple hamburger control, here is a video tutorial I followed to while learning. It is simple and does the work pretty well. The source is available on the provided link. Please mark as answer if it helped you.

Android Admob Banner and Menu Settings

So I am integrating AdMob banners in an android application. The Banner is situated at the bottom of view, working fine, not overlapping with the list view when scrolling and it's all good. I think that bottom position is a very good place to put the banner, but when clicking on the menu button, the menu does cover the banner. I guess this normal behavior but want to make sure it does not break the admob policies, specifically:
Ads should not be placed very close to or underneath buttons or any other object which users may accidentally click while interacting with your application.
Does anybody have a similar situation?
Thanks,
I think until you dont have it very close to the menu it would be fine.
All you need to make sure is that it should not interfere with user inputs and produce incorrect clicks.
Its usually on a more case to case basis.

How to remove a top level menu in VS2012?

I'd like to work in a minimalist manner. So I am trying to remove some of the top level menus that I do not use.
I don't see anything obvious in the Customize window. Am I missing something simple?
You're very close. Go back to Customize (right-click in the menu or toolbar areas), then choose the "Commands" tab instead of the default "Toolbars".
With the "Menu Bar" option selected, you can delete, move, or create high-level menu items, or dive into each menu and customize items. If you make a mistake, click Reset All.
For minimalist coding, I'm also a fan of Full Screen mode (VIEW -> Full Screen or Shift+Alt+Enter).

Dismiss spinner control popup if you don't want an item in android

I have an android spinner which I call via the performClick method to show a list of items (the actual control is hidden from the user and is called from a checkbox, too complex to explain why I have done it this way).
If I do not want an item in the list, how can I dismiss the popup by clicking on the black area?
Does this make sense? :/
Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention that the users will not be able to operate the bottom buttons (device is going to be galaxy tab) as they will be covered up with protective layer due as they will be outdoors.
usually such a control is dismissed using the back key in the android applications. So I would suggest that you find a way to do it the same way on your control.
'Esc' button should do the same job..

bgiframe appears in front of jquery modal dialog's overlay in IE6

When I look at jquery ui's demo modal dialog (http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal) in IE6 the bgiframe is appearing on top of the background overlay. So instead of seeing a black/gray stripe pattern, there is just a white background covering the page with the word "false" in the upper left corner. Is bgiframe broken with the latest version of jqueryui? Is there a quick way to repair this problem with bgiframe? If not, is there a plugin that hides selects when a modal dialog is shown? The ie6 z-index issue with selects is the reason I was using bgiframe in the first place.
