    <p>Is there a way to achieve the Dialog like effect in a Win 8 Store XAML app; similar to the one indicated <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11593978/in-winrt-api-how-to-accept-user-input-in-a-dialog-just-like-in-weather-and-fina">in this post</a> where the content of the dialog is a custom control to gather user input.</p> <p>Here is some sample XAML content that I would like to display centered similar to the one indicated in the post above.</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;common:LayoutAwarePage x:Class="App1.UserControls.Control1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" &gt; &lt;Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Gold" VerticalAlignment="Center"&gt; &lt;StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" AreScrollSnapPointsRegular="True" Margin="20"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="This is sample text" FontSize="20" Style="{StaticResource HeaderTextStyle}"/&gt; &lt;Button Content="Close" Click="btnClose_Click" Margin="0,20,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt;&lt;/common:LayoutAwarePage&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am using the Popup control to display this from a Main page like so:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;common:LayoutAwarepage&gt; &lt;Grid Style="{StaticResource LayoutRootStyle}"&gt; &lt;Popup x:Name="ParentedPopup" VerticalOffset="300" HorizontalOffset="200" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"&gt; &lt;usercontrols:CreateCategory/&gt; &lt;/Popup&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;Page.BottomAppBar&gt; &lt;AppBar x:Name="bottomAppBar" Padding="10,0,10,0"&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;Button Style="{StaticResource AddAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="AddButton_Click"/&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/AppBar&gt; &lt;/Page.BottomAppBar&gt;&lt;/common:LayoutAwarePage&gt; </code></pre> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>private void AddButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (!ParentedPopup.IsOpen) { ParentedPopup.IsOpen = true; } } </code></pre> <p>However, this is not displaying as I intend it to, the popup does not show the xaml content centered, it shows up at the top and is not centered and stretched as I would like.</p> <p>Is there a simple way to achieve this? Note: I do not want to take dependencies on any libraries.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
