Creating hub page with different controls in Windows 8
microsoft-metro, windows-8, windows-runtime, winrt-xaml, xaml
Solution
You can use an GridView that is not grouped where each item will be a different control displayed using a different DataTemplate.
Or you can trick the FlipView to behave like a Panorama control for Windows Phone. Details at http://dotnetbyexample.blogspot.cz/2012/08/a-winrt-behavior-to-turn-flipview-into.html
EDIT: For the first solution you create a base class and create a list with your different objects derived from the base class. Then you use the GridView's ItemTemplaceSelector to select a select an appropriate DataTemplate. See http://coding.kulman.sk/using-different-data-templates-with-gridview-in-windows-8-apps/
Problem
The most landing/hub pages you see are just a GroupedGridView ( for example the actual marketplace app ) But I would like to have a Grouped hub page with different controls. For example my first control is a ListView that contains some categories. 2nd and 3th control are GridViews with several items in them. If all 3 controls were GridViews I could easily get this working but it's not. I can't seem to find a working combination of ScrollViewer with a Grid or Stackpanel to get the actual full Horizontal Scrolling working. Any idea's or examples on how to create such a landing/hub page with different controls in one horizontal page?
