Earlier this year, we developed a SlideView layout for displaying content in a fun and easy-to-use navigation style. The items are stored in a horizontal direction to represent a single layer of content. Each item renders a screenshot and points to a file or remote url address. The user can navigate through the application using the Keyboard and mouse.
Silverlight 3 introduces Multi-touch capabilities and mouse wheel gestures. In its current state, Silverlight only supports Touch points. We implemented click and flick gestures to control navigation between items. The mouse wheel support allows for another means of navigation by determining the mouse wheel’s direction.
I updated the SlideView Demo to support the new features. You will need Windows 7 and a Multi-touch device to test those features.
