Question

Figured I'd start a new thread since the last was answered.

How can I disable the item click animation with the new 8.1 containerstyles?

Answer 1

Hello MJFara,

try to remove storyboard from that pressed event, 

<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
        <Storyboard>
              <PointerDownThemeAnimation TargetName="ContentContainer"/>
        </Storyboard>
</VisualState>

replace that code to that code.

<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
        
</VisualState>

Visual states are removed in 8.1, my template looks like this:

<Style x:Key="GridViewContainerClear" TargetType="GridViewItem">
        <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}"/>
        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
        <Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>
        <Setter Property="IsHoldingEnabled" Value="True"/>
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,2,2"/>
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="GridViewItem">
                    <GridViewItemPresenter PointerOverBackground="Transparent"
                                           PointerPressed=""            
                                            />               
                    
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
        
    </Style>

Answer 3

Any help is greatly appreciated, was working fine in 8.0 :(

Answer 4

We are targeting 8.1 and visual states are still working just fine. 

Answer 5

Aren't you sacrificing the performance gains in 8.1 if you're not using GridViewItemPresenter?

How can I keep those gains while using the new GridViewItemPresenter?

Answer 6

Still dealing with this problem, any ideas?
