InteractionChainingMode Enum

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.Composition.Interactions

Defines the chaining behavior for a VisualInteractionSource. There are three options: Always chain, never chain or auto chain (let the system choose). If chaining is enabled, when an InteractionTracker reaches its minimum or maximum bounds, it will instead send the input to the next ancestor VisualInteractionSource.

Windows requirements

Device family	Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (introduced in 10.0.14393.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v3.0)

Fields

Always	1	Always continue the manipulation.
Auto	0	Automatically determine whether to continue the manipulation.
Never	2	Never continue the manipulation.

Examples

void SetupInteractionSource(ContainerVisual container, InteractionTracker 	tracker)
{
  // Setup the Interaction Source
  _interactionSource = VisualInteractionSource.Create(container);
  // Define Chaining modes for X, Y, and Scale.
  _interactionSource.PositionXChainingMode = InteractionChainingMode.Never;
  _interactionSource.PositionYChainingMode = InteractionChainingMode.Always;
  _interactionSource.ScaleChainingMode = InteractionChainingMode.Auto;    
  // Attach the VisualInteractionSource to InteractionTracker
  tracker.InteractionSources.Add(_interactionSource);
}

Remarks

When an InteractionTracker reaches either its minimum or maximum bounds, it will either overpan or chain the input up to its next ancestor VisualInteractionSource.

The picture below demonstrates a scenario where there may be a VisualInteractionSource (B) who is the child of another VisualInteractionSource (A). In this scenario, both elements are scrollable content – when the InteractionTracker in B reaches the boundary and chaining is enabled on B, the input will chain to A whose content will now begin to scroll.

Note

In these situations with chaining enabled, the input can chain from an InteractionTracker to an InteractionTracker, from an InteractionTracker to a XAML ScrollViewer, or from an InteractionTracker to a CoreWindow.
