  1. POChange Pivot's HeaderTemplate after initialization
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to change the HeaderTemplate of a Pivot when the PhoneApplicationPage Orientation changes to accomodate a different screen real-estate. The end-effect I'm trying to achieve is to shrink the Pivot Header FontSize in Landscape to make room for more vertical content.</p> <p>The templates are declared in XAML as Resources;</p> <pre><code>&lt;phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="landscapePivotTitleTemplate"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="" Height="0"/&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="portraitPivotTitleTemplate"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding}" /&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="portraitPivotHeaderTemplate"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding}" /&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="landscapePivotHeaderTemplate"&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding}" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeSmall}" /&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>I assign the DataTemplate from the Page's FrameworkElement.Resource ResourceDictionary in a handler for OrientationChanged;</p> <pre><code>void MainPage_OrientationChanged(object sender, OrientationChangedEventArgs e) { if (e.Orientation == PageOrientation.LandscapeLeft || e.Orientation == PageOrientation.LandscapeRight) { pivot.HeaderTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["landscapePivotHeaderTemplate"]; pivot.TitleTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["landscapePivotTitleTemplate"]; } else { pivot.HeaderTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["portraitPivotHeaderTemplate"]; pivot.TitleTemplate = (DataTemplate)Resources["portraitPivotTitleTemplate"]; } } </code></pre> <p>Using the above templates, the Title is correctly hidden by assigning to the TitleTemplate. However, it appears that it's only possible to set the Header template once - and subsequent assignments to the HeaderTemplate is only made effective by adding new PivotItem's. Is there a better way to approach this?</p>
