I'd like to know, how I can implement my own SemanticZoom WITHOUT GridView control.
I have my own custom controls on the mainpage but a structure similar to a grouped GridView and I want to open details after the user makes a zoom-gesture on a group.
But it seems that the SemanticZoom control only works together with the GridView.
Any ideas?
cheers, Thomas
The controls contained inside the SemanticZoom control can be any control that implements the ISemanticZoomInformation interface - ISemanticZoomInformation interface
Simple example at Semantic Zoom only supports GridView and ListView?

I would like to create a simple wizard based on a TabControl in Avalonia UI with four pages. Each page with a few controls. Instead of the TabItem headers I would like to create my own buttons and hide the default TabItem headers.
There are plenty of solutions for WPF, mostly involving ItemsContainerStyle and the Visibility property, both of which don't seem to be accessible in the Avalonia TabControle.
Is there any way to hide the headers?
Or is there a better way to implement a wizard?
You probably need to use the Carousel class directly. It's used by the TabControl internally for presenting the current item.
See example usage here:
https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/blob/master/samples/ControlCatalog/Pages/CarouselPage.xaml - markup
https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/blob/master/samples/ControlCatalog/Pages/CarouselPage.xaml.cs - codebehind
How do we detect a scrolling event in GridView (like ViewChanged on ScrollViewer) on somethig like the default GridView template sample app? I'd like to replicate the effect that the netflix App does on the left red strip.
I tried putting the GridView inside a scrollviewer, but I've been unsuccessful at stretching it to fill the screen for different resolutions.
Update: I intend to use this with VariableGrid control that's on NuGet - though it's not an official control, it inherits GridView
The best way to do this seems that you can read through the components of the control, and assign events to it. based on what's happening in this example
http://mikaelkoskinen.net/post/WinRT-XAML-Automatically-Scrolling-ListView-to-Bottom-and-Detecting-When-ListView-is-Scrolled.aspx
I grabbed access to the scrollbar, suing the VisualTreeExtensions and I could capture the event Scroll, just like in the example. I had to read the children when the Loaded event of the grid was fired.
There is a simpler way.
Edit a template of the GridView, and look inside the XAML to find a ScrollViewer which is a component of the GridView.
The ScrollViewer has a ViewChanged event that you can subscribe to. Now whenever the GridView is scrolled, this event will be fired.
Try ManipulationCompleted and PointerReleased events on GridView. This is just using keyboard mouse..
I have a GridView in SemanticZoom.ZoomedOutView. When I set the GridViews ItemClick it never gets called. How do I put a custom action to the click? I want to do a slihtly different logic.
(Please do not answer like you should not do this, it is the clients wish and the cannot be persuaded)
I created a custom Grid implementing ISemanticZoomInformation and used it in the ZoomedOutView, the GridView as its child.
I summed it up in a blog post: http://blog.kulman.sk/customizing-semantic-zoom-in-windows-8-apps/
I've got a Flipview which has an ItemTemplate which contains a MediaElement and buttons for pause and play. I need to be able to access the MediaElement based on the Clicked event on the buttons. What is the best way to link my buttons to my MediaElement? Most of the code examples I find on the internet apply to WPF and not Store Apps. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use CommandParameters or some other type of XAML binding to pass the MediaElement control back to the event handler. Thanks
Put your MediaElement and buttons in a separate UserControl and put that control in your ItemTemplate. After that - it should be easy.
Is there a control in vb.net that is specifically designed for displaying content larger than the control itself?
I know it's possible to code your own using a panel and two scrollbars, but is there an already existing method for this?
Thanks for your help
All control containers, such as Panel, FlowLayoutPanel etc. have AutoScroll property, which does what you want.
