A list of useful posts on MCE Sandbox FORUM

This Blog is from my MSN space, written on 2008/01/12.

Since i registry an account in MCE Sandbox forum. I have provided 12 posts.

My first time to post is to ask some easiest question. Just like " where can we get help meterials beside MCE SDK" or " how to begin a MCE plugin applicaion" and so on.

Well during my first weeks to encount MCML, it's a painful days for me, also painful for many newbie in MCE development. (^_^, according to this, in the MCE Sandbox forum, a lot of people exposed their pain, Clair had a post "Let's keep topics on work" to inform not more rants and raves. haha)

Since september, i start to study the MCE SDK. Till now, my project is nearly to end. (except the MultiThread problem). Well, maybe i just got a overview about the MCML. This time, when i post qustion on the forum, I can illustrate it detailly, and i also understand what others's reply, and their replies can give me direct help or indirect help. Fortunatelly, solve the problem soomthly. Thanks to Clairs, Thansk to IIB, Thanks to all the one give help to me.

Today solve the big problem I dicussed it with IIB. I decide to go through all the posts in the forum.

Well, i collect a list of posts useful for me now.

1 update data in repeater ( bind data from C# code to MCML)

2 error on loading custom assemblies in MCML (debugging issue)

3 Menu with different size menu items (animation)

4 layout issue - align  bottom (alignment)

well, in this post, there is important advice from IIB:

It's better to make a size change a GENUINE size change (eg. rescale the object) rather than depending on the size of the graphic objects themselves. use animation to implement the Scale or Position. Animation, Peeps!!!

To make your animation smoother though, I'd consider actually forcing the size of the two graphics to be the same size (eg. set the MaximumSize and MinimumSize of the Graphic object), and scaling the object up to make it bigger. This will allow you to do a smooth scale-up animation (and a nice transition between the two images, if you wanted to), will resolve any problems with positioning because you can set the CenterPointPercent and just generally be neater.

5 Anyone have ideas on making a multi-line scrollable editbox 

I think this existed in the MCE SDK Markup SAMPLE - Scrolling. Statictext

6 Best way for Spinner implement and Two way binding  ---- spinner

7 Inline Constructor ( In this post, important note- we can't instanciate classes with any paraments via the MCML Properties section. We just can pass the instance of one class to the MCML)
