Advanced Controls

In the previous chapter, we looked at a number of controls and how to handle their events and commands. In this chapter, we’ll look at moving the logic into ViewModel using commands and messaging. We’ll then go on to cover Styles, which let you provide a uniform appearance to your controls with little effort.

One key feature of a well-designed user experience is that when something is going to take more than a second or so, you let the user know that the app is working on it so that it doesn’t look like your app froze.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Keeping the user informed of activity
  • Moving event handling to ViewModel
  • Sending and receiving messages
  • Displaying collections
  • Styles
