The ListView works with a swipe-to-select gesture, where the user swipes each item in the direction perpendicular to the panning direction. So in a horizontally-panning GridLayout, you swipe vertically. In a vertical ListLayout, you swipe sideways.
The key is that the ListView control must have its
selectionMode property set to
multi. Also check that the
swipeBehavior property is set to
select.
Refer to scenario 3 of the
HTML ListView Essentials sample for a demonstration of these properties, and their behaviors with both layouts.
