Introduction


In this article I describe how to create a Windows Store App for embedding a panning element into a horizontal panning element using JavaScript. In my previous article I described Panning and Scrolling in a Windows Store app; that for visit, Panning and Scrolling in Windows Store Apps using Java Script.

I assume you can create a simple Windows Store App using JavaScript. For more help visit Simple Windows Store Apps using JavaScript.

To start the creation of the app, add one HTML page by right-clicking on the name of your project in the Solution Explorer and select Add > new item > HTML Page and then give an appropriate name. In the same way, add images to the images folder in your project.

Write the following code in default.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<title>apps</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/css/ui-light.css" />

<script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js"></script>

<script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/ui.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/default.css" />

<script src="/js/script1.js"></script>

<script src="/js/default.js"></script>

</head>

<body role="application" style="background-color: lightcoral">

<center><div id="rootGrid">

<div id="content">

<h1 id="featureLabel"></h1>

<div id="contentHost"></div>

</div>

</div></center>

</body>

</html>

Write the following code in default.js:

(function () {

"use strict";

var AppTitle = "";

var pages = [

{ url: "page.html" }

];

function activated(eventObject) {

if (eventObject.detail.kind === Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ActivationKind.launch) {

eventObject.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll().then(function () {

var url = WinJS.Application.sessionState.lastUrl || pages[0].url;

return WinJS.Navigation.navigate(url);

}));

}

}

WinJS.Navigation.addEventListener("navigated", function (eventObject) {

var url = eventObject.detail.location;

var host = document.getElementById("contentHost");

host.winControl && host.winControl.unload && host.winControl.unload();

WinJS.Utilities.empty(host);

eventObject.detail.setPromise(WinJS.UI.Pages.render(url, host, eventObject.detail.state).then(function () {

WinJS.Application.sessionState.lastUrl = url;

}));

});

WinJS.Namespace.define("app", {

AppTitle: AppTitle,

pages: pages

});

WinJS.Application.addEventListener("activated", activated, false);

WinJS.Application.start();

})();

Write the following code in page.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title></title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/default.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/chaining.css" />

</head>

<body>

<div data-win-control="app.pageInput">

</div>

<div data-win-control="app.pageOutput">

<div class="ManipulationContainer Horizontal MandatorySnapInterval">

<div class="Image_Row">

<div class="ManipulationContainer zoomElement ProximitySnapList scrollChaining row1 col1">

<img alt="1" src="/images/1.jpg" />

</div>

<div class="ManipulationContainer zoomElement ProximitySnapList scrollChaining row1 col2">

<img alt="2" src="/images/2.jpg" />

</div>

</div>

</div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Output:
