I've an infopath form that uses picture buttons to switch to different views.
In edit mode everything works allright but I would like to use my buttons also on "read-only" views like "View Item" from sharepoint.
MS says that we can use Picture Button to do so, but in my case the button is displayed but it doesn't do anything, it's like a static picture.
(cf. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/add-delete-and-switch-views-pages-in-a-form-HA101732801.aspx#_Toc260325721 at the end of "Add a button for switching views" section.)
Does somebody expected this problem too or have a solutions?
Thank you for your help.
The "Switch Views" rule action must be the only rule associated with the Picture Button. Is this the case? Also, it will be helpful to know what rule you are attaching to the button.
Here's a more detailed guide from Microsoft, maybe it'll have something the other is missing?

I use the same DataTemplate to populate some of the views inside my CarouselView: a XAML file with a ContentView. I assign a custom class list to ItemsSource of the carouselview AND use bindings inside the template layout fields to fill them with the properties of my custom class. Everything is working fine. Here comes the wierd part: Let's say there's a button in the template and when you click it on the screen, a Label with "Well Done" text is added to the current Stacklayout of the shown carouselview. This is done by the codebehind of my template XAML. This is ok, too, but I expect this "Well Done" to disappear after I swipe back and forth enough. Because it's not part of the template. It does not disappear, instead I see it on other carousels once in every 4 swipes and it is replaced, I mean it appears on different carousels if I swipe back and forth. To make it disappear completely I have to swipe away from the views that share the same DataTemplate. I cannot understand the mechanics behind this behaviour. I can create another field inside the template to put the "Well Done" text there and show it when the time comes, I know. But I want to understand the mechanics. Thank you.
Asking the right question about a problem is the key to any solution..
After the realization that I've mentioned at the Update comment, I've searched for DataTemplate Caching and found this issue post on Xamarin.Forms Github: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/9200
There you can find an explanation to how CollectionView was designed and understand the mechanics behind the behaviour. No bug. It's by design.
Please see this gist to see what I am trying to achieve: https://gist.github.com/d9e22915234e6ea34d20
The code is heavily cut down on the problem I face. As you can see when running the code there is a "miss" detected on the label or the text area (if you miss it by 5em or whatever). Unfortunately this does not work for the Dialog's own buttons OK and Cancel (Please run the code and you will see immediately what i am talking about). If you click near an FX-Node it should detect wheter you missed it or not.
Does anybody know if it is possible to detect clicks in the Dialogs button area?
And if it is possible, how to link them to the node like the label and the area?
Thank you in advance.
From what you're seeing, I would guess that the Dialog consumes click events in the button bar, so they don't make it to the Window (which is where you added the EventHandler). If you really want to do this, you can change addEventHandler to addEventFilter. This works for me.
Read this tutorial if you want to find out why this works:

I have a button on clicking on it it is opening a Popup. The Popup contains below fields like., Textbox, OK and Cancel buttons. I am fine with cancel and Ok buttons. Help me in Giving text to that textbox using Robot Frame work. I am not able to find the Id/Name/Xpath of that particular field.
Assuming that the popup is a proper window and not an alert, you just need to select the window after it pops up. After that, your usual keywords like Input Text will work as expected.
The selenium2library user guide explains how to do this.
Input text is the way to go about this but what the locator is depends on how you are creating this pop-up. Please show us the code you are using to create the pop-up and then we can help you to add a locator to it. Generaly I use jquery locators as they are incredibly powerful so I would recommend looking to that as a way forward.
How do you force Combobox dropdowns to stay open even when other Alert boxes appear. Looking at what to subclass from mx.Combobox, there doesn't seem to be much that i can do to short of implementing an entire combobox from scratch.Thx
For that you need to create a custom ComboBox which if created in following Link. and might be this link will going to be useful to you.

Say I have some state which the user can toggle, for example [ON] | [OFF] .
Typically, I use ONE switch (BUTTON) and when the thing is ON, the user sees:
LIGHT IS [ON]
When it is OFF they see
LIGHT IS [OFF]
My question is: is it obvious (sensible) that one should click [ON] to turn the light [OFF]?
How do you do it? Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
I would use a label and an button to show the action.
Light is On - Switch Off?
Clicking that would change both the label and the button to:
Light is Off - Switch On?
This solution clearly states the status and the action available.
I would definitely include the notion of a checkbox-like control if clarity is your concern. This is a widely accepted interface component, that most people understand.
In any case you can make the entire line clickable, so that it toggles when I click the text as well (just like an HTML Label element).
Showing a button with just the text 'ON' might confuse users whether it toggles the light on, or if the current state is 'on'.
An image speaks a thousand words...
Depending on the type of application, displaying a light switch image that you can click
to set the state of the field might be more intuitive?
You could then have a lightbulb-on and lightbulb-off image to show state.
Not everyone knows what a checkbox is ;)
You could use radio boxes, which are fairly standard controls and should not be confusing to most people.
<input type="radio">Light on<br>
<input type="radio">Light off
Another option is to try and implement some sort of switch button, something like this one that is used on the iPhone:
