Hi!
I spent the better part of the night and morning with this stuff, and I also made some interesting observations. It turns out that running stuff in a browser and running stuff in a media center hosted html app are two completly different beasts.

Hi!
I have an UI with a pivot control. It is a popup control so I show/hide it from the parent. The problem I have is that if I in the popup selected item 2 in the pivot, then close the popup and then open it again, I want the pivot to be reset to index 0. The pivot has a simple local choice as a...

Hi!
For the special layout simply press the code button, it will add a code tag where you can simply paste the code.
I have solved the problem with resetting the pivot. I spent the entire evening testing various stuff, and finally I cracked it. The problem (and solution) is almost hilarious.

Hi!
I am having an interesting problem.
My app is a rather standard gallery with a pivot for selecting category. When I select category 1, I set off an async load to get items for the gallery repeater. If I then, before the load is complete, browse to category 2 which takes very short time to...

Hi!
The wonders of MCML are still causing major headache.
I have a simple vertical repeater. The item template is a simple panel with two texts in a vertical flow like
panel
text1
test2
end panel
When the item is in focus I want both texts to be visible (hence the item will grow vertically,...

Posting the actual MCML would be helpful, because it's unclear what your true issue is. You can set Maximum Size to this for example MaximumSize= 0,400 , as I do stuff like that in my project all the time with no issue. Have you tried using a minimum size?
Something else is causing your divide by...

I'm using the PivotControl sample from MCML samples ( and noticed some weirdness.
The first time I navigate into a pivot, hit the up arrow key, it navigates to the second item instead of the first. If I try it again, it goes back to the right spot in the pivot heading. Also, if I add more than one...

Thanks! I'll give it a shot tonight.

Well, you could probably make it work with copy-freely stuff on a CableCARD tuner, but you wouldn't be able to handle the copy-protected stuff unless you pay for the necessary licensing (Cable Labs and/or PlayReady) and certification to handle protected video.

I actually found Microsoft's Windows Media Center SDK website to be the best resource:
Also, when you install the SDK it includes some sample applications along with the Sample Explorer that shows a lot of code snippets.
