Test VS11 and Windows 8(www.jphellemons.nl)

submitted by jphellemons(269) 1 month, 9 days ago

A consumer preview of Windows 8 has been released. I really recommend checking it out. I have seen it run on several ultra books (from about 700 euro’s each) and it ran great! So you don’t need a 2000 euro machine to run it and play around with the new metro interface. I have written earlier about the developer preview, but this release contains over 100.000 changes and a newer version of internet explorer. As web developer it’s always nice to test web applications with the latest browsers. read more...

WinJS – Navigate in a ListView using mouse wheel is easy !(www.jonathanantoine.com)

submitted by jmix90(570) 2 months, 20 days ago

The listview can be considered as the most powerful control of the WinJS UI controls. It works very well in ‘touch mode’ and the user experience is just great ! When it comes to use the mouse & keyboard, the scrollbars appears and you can use them to navigate in the list. Then, the first thing you may try is to use the mouse wheel : no result at all ! By default, you can’t navigate in the listview using the mouse wheel. I think it can be really strange for user who are used to this behavior and in this post we’ll see how it’s easy to implement the mouse-wheel scroll ! read more...
