Question

I want to create a wizard control from the pivot control. To achieve this I need to stop the pivot looping. I want to stop the pivot control moving forward from the last item to the first and backwards from the first to the last.

I’m pretty sure I should be able to intercept the manipulations e.g. cancel if I detect a right to left manipulation on the last pivot item. I can capture this in ManipulationDelta but don’t know how to cancel the manipulation.

I have tried setting e.Handled = True but it didn’t work.

I tried to set IsHitTestVisisble to false but this kills all manipulations. I tried setting it back to true in ManipulationCompleted but this then allows all manipulations.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Steve

I couldn’t reply to your comment on Matts answer but I just wanted to point you to this:

It’s the last entry in my very neglected blog and should provide a good base for creating a wizard using a pivot style swipe.

Calum.

EDIT: I tried to do what you wanted with the pivot but couldn’t find a way to stop it looping. The only way that I can think of to achieve this would be to derive a custom control from Pivot. Unfortunately SelectedIndex/SelectedItem are not virtual so you would need to hide them (with the new modifier) and reproduce the logic from the base class.
