The new Hub control for master-detail view?

Question

I have a master-detailed UI placed in a UserControl (not Page)

The overview info (master) is shown in a ListView to the left and I want to show a detailed  view to the right when user clicks on items in the ListView. 

• Would it be possible to use a HubControl (Windows 8.1) for this and show/collpase a detailed Hub section when user clicks in the ListView..?
• If not, any other recommendations would be highly appreciated. I prefer no to navigate to separate Page or UserControl.

Thanks

 

Answer 1

That doesn't really fit the concept of the hub control, but I suppose you could scroll to a specific hub based on the ListView selection. I'm not sure I'm properly seeing what you are thinking, but I would tend towards having the details pane be just the one that matches the ListView selection. If the view itself is the same but with different data then just use a constant pane and bind to new data. Otherwise you could swap out the template based on the bound data.

Ok, thanks.

Since yesterday, I have been laborating with the Hub control and I don't think it would be perfect here.
