This chapter began by looking at the differences and similarities of the Pivot
and Panorama
. You saw how the Pivot
is designed to be used for completing a task, whereas the Panorama
is designed to entice the user to explore.
The chapter then looked at the anatomy of the Pivot
and how to create a simple Pivot
driven page. You saw how to use the Pivot
load events, allowing you to load content on demand, and you explored a novel approach that allows you to associate a different application bar with each PivotItem
using a custom AppBar
control. You then learned how to create a Pivot
driven chat app, which was augmented to demonstrate implicit PivotItem
generation and templating. By generating PivotItems
by assigning the Pivot.ItemsSource
property, the Pivot
can be dynamically populated at runtime.
The second part of this chapter focused on the Panorama
. You saw how to create a simple bookshop app that uses a WCF service to retrieve a list of products displayed within a Panorama
.
Finally, the chapter concluded by looking at some things to avoid when using a Pivot
or Panorama
.
