Static List View in Windows Store App

Introduction

In this article I describe how to create a Windows Store App for a Static List View using JavaScript. This app shows how to use the List View control's static mode to create a virtualized list that does not respond to user input.

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 two JavaScript pages by right-clicking on the js folder in the Solution Explorer and select "Add" > "New item" > "JavaScript Page" and then provide an appropriate name. In the same way, add one HTML page to your project.

Write the following code in default.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

</head>

</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>

</head>

<body>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<br />

<div id="itemDetail_Text">Samsung Corby B-3410 with QWERTY Keypad and Touch Screen</div>

</div>

<div id="listView3"

class="win-selectionstylefilled"

data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"

data-win-options="{

itemDataSource: myCommentData.dataSource,

itemTemplate: commentsTemplate,

selectionMode: 'none',

tapBehavior: 'none',

swipeBehavior: 'none',

layout: { type: WinJS.UI.ListLayout }

></div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Write the following code in script.js:

var myCommentData = new WinJS.Binding.List([

{ title: "The SAMSUNG CORBY B-3410", text: "This is Slider Phone With QWERTY Keypad and Tuch Scrin Features" },

{ title: "Camera", text: "Samsung Provide 2 MP camera in This Hand set" },

{ title: "Memory'", text: "Samsung Provide 2 GB MEMORY CARD WITH THIS HAND SET" }

]);

(function () {

"use strict";

var page = WinJS.UI.Pages.define("page.html", {

ready: function (element, options) {

element.querySelector("#listView3").winControl.forceLayout();

}

});

})();

Output:
