Bottom-up list (XAML) sample

  • Code Sample
Browse code Download ZIP

Shows a ListView that is tailored for scenarios in which the last item is the most interesting. This type of ListView is common for chat windows. You might also find it useful for showing a trace log.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. You can download this sample as a standalone ZIP file from docs.microsoft.com, or you can download the entire collection as a single ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, this sample shows how to:

  • Set the ItemsStackPanel.ItemsUpdatingScrollMode property to KeepLastItemInView to indicate that the last item should be used as the anchor when performing layout. This affects how the scroll offset is persisted, how it is maintained when items are added/removed, and the animation that occurs when items are added/removed.
  • Save and restore the scroll position.
  • Add older items to the top of the list incrementally.
  • Manually trigger the ISupportIncrementalLoading.LoadMoreAsync method as the scroll position nears the top of the list.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio to build and Windows 10 to execute.
