Hi We're doing mockups/prototyping on a MS Surface device and I wonder if anyone has succeeded in using SketchFlow for this. The problem that I see is that the code generated by the tool uses normal WPF controls (Button, etc.) instead of the contact aware surface counterparts (SurfaceButton) which means that they won't work nice on the ...

We would like to have the hosting ScatterViewItem resize as well to properly fit its child controls, but we're having a hard time making this happen. We've tried a...
Hi I would like to animate a ScatterView Control using Expression Blend However, it seems that Blend doesn't recognise this control and nothing is visible on the design surface despite it being in the xaml Is there an addon or something that you need to get Blend to recognise controls that are specific to MS Surface? Have been googli...

I'm struggling with the TagVisualizer control on an MS Surface project. In theory the control seems great, allowing you to respond to input from real world physical objects The problem is that the control will cover the entire screen (since I want to capture tags on the entire screen) and as such, no other controls in my app will receiv...
I'm currently in a project where I need a LibraryStack with no visuals at all, so it would just show the content. If I just remove the background a shadow stays in view which I cant seem to remove...

There must be a better way to do in I think. But t...

Hi, in my Surface application happens this: When I put an IdentityTag onto my TagVisualizer, a white cross-hair appears. This TagVisualizer adds no TagVisualization when adding a Tag, it just calls some methods in its "VisualizationAdded"-Event. In my other TagVisualizers before there were no cross-hair but they always had Visualization...
