ListPicker & Date / Time Picker

Hi,

Any news about ListPicker & Date / Time Picker for XAML / C# developers?

Answer 1

Date/Time picker are not explicit controls for Windows.UI.Xaml in this release.  You would have to make them or get from 3rd party.

Answer 4

And what about the ListPicker control?

Answer 5

What is meant by "ListPicker" -- there is ListView, ListBox, etc. -- are you talking about the phone's long list selector?  If so, the concept of SemanticZoom would apply here.  See the samples on that.

Answer 6

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your answers!

Yes, this is exactly what I am referring to (Windows Phone ListPicker). I have a Windows Phone application (C# & XAML) which I am going to convert to Windows 8. I am using the Windows Phone ListPicker extensively in this application and I am trying to find out what would be the fastest, easiest & cleanest way to convert the application to Windows 8.

My application has a lot of user data entry pages. Do you know of a good example for a data entry type of application?

Thanks again,
EitanB

Answer 7

There is not a lot of data entry-driven apps in the marketplace right now.  I think some guidance on form layouts will likely come.
