Pivot Control for Windows 10

In the following blog, I will show how to work with Pivot Control in Universal Windows Apps.

Pivot represents a control that provides quick navigation of views within an app.

Step 1: Open a blank app and add a Pivot Control either from the toolbox or by copying the following XAML code into your grid.

<Pivot x:Name="rootPivot" Title="PIVOT TITLE">
    <PivotItem Header="Pivot Item 1">
        <TextBlock Text="Here you can add any controls" />
    </PivotItem>
    <PivotItem Header="Pivot Item 2">
        <TextBlock Text="Here you can add any controls" />
    </PivotItem>
    <PivotItem Header="Pivot Item 3">
        <TextBlock Text="Here you can add any controls" />
    </PivotItem>
</Pivot>

Use a Pivot to present groups of content that a user can swipe through. You typically use a Pivot as the top level control on a page. Pivot is an ItemsControl, so it can contain a collection of items of any type. Any item you add to the Pivot that is not explicitly a PivotItem is implicitly wrapped in a PivotItem. Because a Pivot is often used to navigate between pages of content, it's common to populate the Items collection directly with XAML UI elements.

Step 2: Run your application and test yourself.
