Hub Control Hierarchies

Question

Hi,

I have an object hierarchy which I would like to present using the hub control. My object consists of instance details as well as several lists. What I would like to do is present the instance details, such as Title and Description, on a hero tile and the lists of sub items on a more traditional hub section. Is there an inbuilt way of doing this?

I cant pass in a single class as a CollectionViewSource nor can I set properties of named items in the data template.

Thanks,

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Can I understand your question as you try to set properties for a named item in the data template? It is a often asked question and the solution is to find it by the help of VisualTreehelper.

Take a look at this blog article, must help you:  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/17502.finding-element-in-itemscontrol-datatemplate-listviewgridviewflipview-window-store-apps.aspx

Besides, there is no in-build API, hub section only contains DataTemplate.

Thanks James,

I was afraid that would be the case. But at least now I have the code sample.

Much appreciated,

Geoff
