Orientation in Metro Ui

Question

Hi , 

I'm building a Metro UI app using C# .

How can I find out the Orientation of my XAML page ?

Is there any event which is triggered every time the user changes orientation ?

Appreciate any help you could give me.

thank you

Answer 1

You're looking for DisplayProperties.CurrentOrientation andDisplayProperties.OrientationChanged.

Answer 2

Hi ,

Yes just found it and forgot to post it.

                  

   protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {



            DisplayProperties.OrientationChanged += OnOrientationChanged;

        }

 protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            DisplayProperties.OrientationChanged -= OnOrientationChanged;
        }

and then the event

          

 void OnOrientationChanged(object sender)
        {

            Int32 MyWidth = 0;
    

            switch (app.CurrentOrientation)
            {
                case DisplayOrientations.Landscape:
                  
                    break;
                case DisplayOrientations.LandscapeFlipped:
                   
                    break;
                case DisplayOrientations.None:
               
                    break;
                case DisplayOrientations.Portrait:
                    MyWidth = 800;
                    break;
                case DisplayOrientations.PortraitFlipped:
                    
                    break;
                default:
               
                    break;
            }

}

thank you
