A collection of useful behaviors, commands and converters which might be essential for MVVM apps.

• OpenFlyoutAction

• BindKeyToCommandBehavior: a behavior that executes a given command if a certain key is pressed
• FocusTextboxBehavior: a behavior that sets the focus to the attached TextBox after the Loaded event is fired
• SelectionModeBehavior: emulates a IsSelectionEnabled property for ListViews
• UpdateSelectedItemsBehavior: a behavior that automatically synchronises selected items of ListViews to a given List (inside the ViewModel)
• ProgressIndicatorBehavior: a behavior which makes the ProgressIndicator accessible through XAML (Windows Phone only)

• RangeObservableCollection: an ObservableCollection that supports adding and removing ranges. Caution: this collection is NOT able to be data bound (so far)
• SortedObservableCollection: an ObservableCollection which automatically sorts items to a given strategy

• ItemClickCommand: adds command binding for the ListView.ItemsClick event

• BooleanToVisibilityConverter
• InverseBooleanToVisibilityConverter
• InverseNullToVisibilityConverter
• NullToVisibilityConverter
• StringFormatConverter
• ToLowercaseConverter
• ToUppercaseConverter
• ValueConverterGroup: emulates a MultiValueConverter

These are useful messages to be used with MvvmLights Messenger implementation.

• CallbackMessageBase: all messages with a callback can inherit from this to get basic functionality as a SuccessCallback and CancelCallback
• NavigateBackMessage
• NavigateMessage: a message to be used for navigation between views

1. Install package using NuGet:

   Install-Package WinRTUtils

2. Reference "Behaviors SDK (XAML)" to your project. This SDK comes with Visual Studio.

Currently only available as comments in the source code. You may take a look at the sample project which is a universal project, so you have samples for both Windows and Windows Phone 8.1.

Feel free to contribute to this project :)
