Question

I need a “Сarousel like” control in my windows phone 7 APP, there will be list of images and I need to switch them like items in Pivot. What control should I use? Pivot is very similar, but I need footer in my application.

Answer 1

You can use a Pivot control where you hide the headers, I blogged about a simple solution to this problem here:

A Windows Phone 7 Slide View with Page Pips

You can add your fixed footer under the Pivot control as follows:

  <!--LayoutRoot is the root grid where all page content is placed-->
  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="#EAE5C7">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
       <RowDefinition/>
       <RowDefinition/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <local:PivotLocationView Source="{Binding ElementName=pivot}"
                             HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                             VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
                             Margin="0,0,0,10"/>

    <controls:Pivot Margin="0,-30,0,40" 
                    x:Name="pivot">
      <controls:PivotItem>
      ...
      </controls:PivotItem>
      <controls:PivotItem>
        ...
      </controls:PivotItem>
      <controls:PivotItem>
        ...
      </controls:PivotItem>
    </controls:Pivot>

    <!-- your fixed footer goes here -->
    <Grid x:Name="footer" Grid.Row="1">
    </Grid>
  </Grid>
