Question

Here’s how looks like when idle:

And here it is, when I tap on it, when it should be popping the full screen selection mode (according to what I’ve read):

As you can see, it doesn’t seem to be opening the full screen selection mode.

Here is my XAML:

                    </Border>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="12 0 0 0"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
        </Grid.Resources>

        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="100" />
            <RowDefinition />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <!--Begin Top Bar -->
        <Image Grid.Row="0" Source="Images/topbarBg.png" Stretch="Fill" />
        <TextBlock Text="Console" HorizontalAlignment="Left" 
                   VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="35" 
                   Padding="10"/>

        <toolkit:ListPicker x:Name="lstPlatform" 
                            ListPickerMode="Full"
                            Grid.Row="0" CacheMode="BitmapCache"
                            Margin="160 0 10 0" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                            ItemTemplate="{StaticResource PickerItemTemplate}" 
                            FullModeItemTemplate="{StaticResource PickerFullModeItemTemplate}" />

        <!--End Top Bar -->

    </Grid>

</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Answer 1

You have the set the ItemCountThreshold="0" on the ListPicker control in order to immediately enter full screen selection mode.
