multiSize items in ListView not working in RC

Question

I had a listview with varying heights and it was working fine. I upgraded to RC and it stopped working...

List View

                <div class="homelistview" 
                    data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"
                    data-win-options="{ 

                        itemDataSource: data.tasks.dataSource, 
                        groupDataSource: data.tasks.groups.dataSource, 
                        itemTemplate: renderTask, 
                        groupHeaderTemplate: renderProject, 
                        selectionMode: 'multi', 
                        tapBehavior: 'invokeOnly', 
                        swipeBehavior: 'select', 
                        layout: { 
                                groupInfo: groupInfo, 
                                type: WinJS.UI.GridLayout 
                                } 
                    }">
                </div>

groupInfo

function groupInfo() {
    return {
        multiSize: true,
        slotWidth: 1,
        slotHeight: 50
    };
}

Answer 1

Your groupInfo function's return object needs to contain properties named enableCellSpanning, cellWidth, and cellHeight--there was a name change.

GREAT!!!  Now, how am I supposed to find these changes?  It was not listed in the migration guide document.

Thanks.

Answer 3

Some things slip through the cracks with the migration docs, this being one of them (and the type change to the WinJS.xhr responseXML object, which is generating traffic today, being the other). Hence the forums here which do a pretty good job of catching and surfacing the rest.

Answer 4

cool man...  I just thought there was another doc somewhere that I didn't know about.  I love this forum...  I don't think I would be even to go past the login screen without this forum :)
