You need to set the application bar in each page as below. If you remember MyGlobalAppBar is key of the application bar we created as static resource.
Now when you run the application, you should get below Application Bar on each page you have set it. I hope this post was useful. Thanks for reading and tune in for the next post. Net If you want to see post on a particular topic please do write on FB page or tweet me about that, I would love to help you.
Thanks for this post…. Microsoft was smart in allowing Devs to target the Bar to specify commands relative to the App they create…. Windows Phone rocks!!!! THanks Microsoft: We love you guys.
If you are on a tight schedule and need quite a few icons for one or several of your WP7 applications, Application Bar Icons for Windows Phone 7 will help you save a good deal of time. Application Bar Icons for Windows Phone 7 is a collection of professionally designed application icons meeting all of the requirements of the Windows Phone 7 operating system. This collection contains unique interface icons in the PNG format drawn in the same style to cover as many topics as possible, including data processing, users, playback, browsing, emotions, file management, the Internet, people, transportation, communications and many more.
The collection is big enough to help you pick the right icons for any of your applications, be it an entertainment app or a serious financial tool.
As a Windows Phone 7 developer creating applications for an emerging market, you should be primarily interested in quality, as it can and will help you stand out of the crowd of competitors, so if you don't think you are a great designer, go for Application Bar Icons for Windows Phone 7 and rest assured your apps will look perfect. Full Specifications. What's new in version In version Colored versions were added.
Date Added November 15, Version Operating Systems. Additional Requirements None. Total Downloads 12, MenuItems element:. If you run the application, you will now see an Application Bar displayed by the Windows Phone emulator. If you click the ellipsis to the right of the icons, the application bar slides up, revealing the two menu items, identical to Figure 1. Try it by pressing F5. Let's talk briefly about the Opacity property of an Application Bar we used in this example. Even though its values can range from 0 to 1, Microsoft recommends that developers use only three values for this property: 0, 0.
If the Opacity is set to anything less than 1, the Application Bar will overlay the displayed page of an application. If Opacity is set to 1, however, the Application Bar will have a dedicated region at the bottom of the screen and will not be overlaying any portion of an application.
It is an analogy for a menu - a control you are probably very familiar with from desktop systems and smartphones like Blackberry. Unlike a regular menu control, ApplicationBar can only be used as a single instance per page, therefore you cannot create multiple menus on one page. However you can clearly divide the menu items in icons and text items - there is no difference in the functionality those can offer, the only difference being the appearance.
On a sidenote, an ApplicationBar is tied to a page and not to the application itself. Therefore, you should create separate ApplicationBar instances on different pages. Actually, this is the sample XAML markup provided in every new Windows Phone 7 application by default it is commented out. But you can see the clear division - there are ApplicationBarIconButton instances, that are the icons that are shown at all times, and ApplicationBarMenuItem instances that are hidden if you are using the default options.
The maximum number of menu items is limited to 50, but just on a sidenote - the ApplicationBar is really not the place to put more than menu items. If you've used Windows Phone 7, you probably noticed that some applications have a custom color defined for the background of the ApplicationBar. One good example would be the Twitter app.
