Strikethrough text: how to? - Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking

Hi guys!
I need a strikethrough text; unfortunately it's not supported in Silverlight.
I can't use line over the text 'cause TextBox control has a text wrapping (can be one or two lines) and located in the CheckBox template.
Any thoughts?

How to show hidden part of the line?

Hi guys,
I see that in some case/options parts of the line are hidden/incompleted... probably is caused by the font too bigger!
Is possible to select or view, like tooltip fot ex., all the contains of the line?

Just replace
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409\Ime File" value with "\Windows\compime.dll" instead of most owful ime implementation AKA eT9ime.dll by Tegic (not sure in they dll name spelling though)
P.S.: as usual, be warned about changing registry.

Thanks!! This works with Touchpal really well, don't forget to soft-reset after the registry change otherwise you've disabled your mail and messaging ;-)
i think i'm misunderstanding something here... when i put my cursor in the To: field, i start typing letters and names will automatically appear above the keyboard. i can continue to type until the correct recipient/name appears or i can scroll the "horizontal list" to find the name i'm looking for. does the registry tweak above present all possible selections in a "vertical list"? thanks for clarifying...
Yep. A white box pops up below the text field with possible matches, shows about 8 at a time.

does this happen when the cursor IS NOT placed in the "To:" field? thanks. i made the change and when i placed the cursor in the "To:" field, i did not have a list to choose from.
2cortez.i: the functionality you describe is built into default (but not standard!) keyboard you use. If you choose original windows keyboard or install any other third-party keyboard like Resco which have no similar functionality built in - then default system autocomplete contact list popup feature (supressed by tegic) is the only option. Specially if your contacts are not in English
And IMHO default contact list popup is much better than built into tegic keyboard because it let you to choose from list with one tap instead of reviewing them one-by-one...
2mlalahoi: yes, sure I'v just fogot to note that soft-reset is required

aahhhhhhhhhhhh... i understand now. i tried the registry tweak again with the standard keyboard and it works as you described. but, if i use the HTC Full QWERTY keyboard, the vertical list will ONLY appear AFTER i type 2 letters AND THEN hit the backspace key. i prefer the vertical list for sure! however, i prefer the "To:" field to be automatically populated as is done with tegic dll. too bad the registry tweak above requires an extra "backspace" keystroke. thanks for explaining the difference.
thankssss

hi it worked for me, if i use the standard keyboard or full qwerty, bu if i use the phone pad keypad, it doesnt work. infact it doesnt type anything.
i tried typing it in the text area of email / sms but no success.
so i have to change it back to et9ime.dll , but if you can provide me the solution so that it works with phone keypad along with the qwerty, than its really cool tweak.
please help.

If this is the solution you decide to go for, I can help you getting started ;-) If so, PM me

Sure m8! But for the ease of it I will just copy a post from lakeridgesoftware.com. The reason why I copy it over here is that this forum should contain it all. This is the work of a guy called allanlsmith and here it goes:
alanlsmith lakeridge forums said:
Script Updated 30 Jan 2009
With improved method of splitting lines, hopefully to stop the odd message disappearing off the right hand side of the screen.
The only script that has changed is 'ReadSMS.mscr' & it now puts all the lines of the message into one registry value, so you need to change your registry text in WAD to point to 'HKLM...\Messaging\SMS\Message' rather than Line1, Line2, etc.
As before you can adjust the length & number of lines by altering the appropriate values at the begining of the script.
__________________________________________________ _______________
An earlier question from Neodd70 prompted me to look into being able to preview message on a virtual page, I've come up with what seems to be a viable solution for SMS, I have used a component(s) from ThrottleLauncher www.throttlelauncher.com which the author APBilbo has kindly allowed the use of as a standalone application.
As you can see from the screenshot I've ended up with it looking like a sort of copy of the message page from Manila 2D, I've included the images if you want to use them.
It allows a preview of the first 7 lines of a message & adds "..." at the end if the message is longer. the included shortcuts are 'SMS Next' which moves to the next newest message, 'SMS Previous' which moves to the next older message, 'SMS Details' which shows the whole message in a HTML window, 'SMS Refresh' which should be used as the page entry script, as this will display the most recent message on the page & 'SMS Reply' which, well, allows you to reply to the message sender.
The Registry entries that are created / updated when the shortcuts are run, are as follows, All under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\My_Utilities\SMS' :
'Line1' to 'Line7' this splits the text into individual lines, 'Read' indicates if the current message is read or unread, 'Selected' is the number of the current message, 'Total' is the number of messages in the inbox & 'Sender' is the sender.
As neither the application or WAD do textwrapping the Mortscript 'ReadSMS.mscr' parses the message into lines, currently set to 25 chars long to suit my QVGA screen & the images I use, but if you change the value of 'linelength' at the begining of the 'ReadSMS.mscr. script then you can make them whatever length you want.
To actually use this, all that is needed is to copy the folder 'Message2Reg' (which contains the applications, DLLs & scripts) to '\Program Files\' & the 'Messages' folder (which contains the shortcuts) to '\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Then on your selected page assign 'SMS Refresh' as the page entry script & the Next, Previous, Details & Reply shortcuts to appropriate buttons to suit your chosen layout.
Oh, & if you don't want to use the HTML preview you can delete 'template.html & 'OpenNETCF.DLL' which will save about 220Kb.
Note: opening the message in the HTML preview will mark the message as read, whereas viewing in the 'envelope' will not.
It should all work reliably, but no guarantees.
Edit: Throttle Launcher does not need to be installed, but you do need to create the registry key 'HKLM/Software/ThrottleLauncher/Messaging' then the first time the program is run it will create the necessary subkeys below this.

For all non english devices: You have to make a folder in your units root called "Storing Card" to make this work.

Then you shold check out WAD2! I cannot imagine myself owning a WinMo without it! There is NOTHING developed here at XDA that can touch this. (No guys .. all your work are great! But this is the king of the hill..)

Well there are two crucial problems here(and few lesser ones):
- sipicon that pop ups on wm6.1 in bottom-center of screen, reported, but not solved.
- no tray at all, 1.x.x. had it.
Believe me, i do know, what WAD is...

thanks, thedaniel, gonna check this later.
You can make your own tray in WAD2
anyways: hope this gets you somwhere
I use SPB Diary. It's not free, but it's a very powerful program. You can view all of your emails and sms right on the today screen, as well as ALOT of other cool stuff. Check it out.
Point UI's Home 2 is just the ticket!

You can choose your sms as your today screen, its amazing!

[Q] Keypad entry for numeric field.

Hy,
As for my first app, I am trying to make a simple converter like app. The app isn't sophisticated, just need to enter a quantity in mass, a density and compute the resulting quantity in volume.
The main issue is to get a confortable UI, for touchscreen and soft keyboard devices.
As the entry only require numeric, I'd rather have a numeric keypad poping up rather than the complete alaphnumerical keyboard.
As for an example, I use 'currency converter' witch pop up exactly the good keypad for it's amount to convert.
So far I haven't found any documentation how to manage this behaviour.
I'd really appreciate any advise, link to a doc page or solution.
One thing to look at is:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html
In Eclipse:
-Open your layout xml file.
-Click on your EditText field and then go to properties.
-In the properties there is an 'Inputtype' field. If you click on the '...' button it will show you many options. This is where you define the field as 'number' or 'phone' and it will show the number keypad by default when you click on your field when using the app.
Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions.

unusual characters appear in eclipse whitespace

Hey guys, somehow a setting got changed in eclipse and all these symbols appeared in the whitespace in the code. They look like they are describing the whitespace. Like end of line stuff. Any idea how to turn this off?
On which OS are you developing?
In Eclipse you can change line delemiters with file -> change line delemiters.
Can you copy and paste it in here?
From something awesome

Windows 7. Change line delimiters didn't do anything for me.
I cannot copy and paste the characters, but I'll post a picture.
Those symbols at the end are defining that there is a new paragraph. Same as you would see in a Word document with the setting on.
To fix
Goto Windows > Preferences
In the search type "White space"
Click the Text Editors tab
Uncheck show white spaces
