How to stop pivot looping

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

Answer 1

The pivot is not designed to be used as a wizard and does not support stopping it's looping behaviour as this would create an inconsistent UX for users.

If you really must create a wizard do it with multiple pages.

Answer 2

Don't use a Pivot for a Wizard. Create your own transitions instead.
