Adding content before or after a ListView

Question

I feel like what I am trying to do should be very simple, but I am not seeing an obvious solution.

If I have a ListView that displays grouped items.  This is basically just the Grid Application from the Visual Studio template.  I want to add some content (a small section with some other information before (or after) the ListView, and I would like that content to scroll in the same way as the ListView.  Since the ListView implements its own scrolling, I am struggling with how I would implement this behavior.

Hi Dave,

Could you provide some sort of mock up (a picture) of what you are trying to do?

Answer 3

Do you mean that you want the Map to be part of the list view, or something completely different?

Answer 4

I would like to have the map come before the List View, but have everything scroll as one piece.

Answer 5

What about adding the Map as a group and then use a custom renderer for the GridLayout to draw the map.  The size of the map will need to be an increment of the size of the grid.  This tutorial shows adding elements of varying sizes so you could probably adapt this to your needs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Hh972605.aspx

Answer 6

That is what I was considering doing.  I was just hoping I could put 2 items in a scroll pane or something along those lines.
