Looping FlipView for UWP

问题

Is there any way to make a FlipView loop through items? From the last item, to the first and viceversa. I have seen this solution http://blogs.msdn.com/b/synergist/archive/2013/09/21/windows-8-flipview-looping-sample.aspx

It works for W8, OK, but the same code throws under the Windows Universal Platform (Universal App).

The solution you've mentioned is right, you can refer to this solution to implement your own.

But the sample linked in the article doesn't work because there is a minor mistake. In the MainPage.xaml, it use following code to use attached property

<FlipView x:Name="FlipView" Synergist:FlipViewExtensions.IsLooping="True">

But the namespace prefix "Synergist" is wrong, it should be "synergist" since it is defined as xmlns:synergist="using:Synergist". So just change "Synergist" to "synergist":

<FlipView x:Name="FlipView" synergist:FlipViewExtensions.IsLooping="True">

The sample will work well.

And if you use these code in UWP, it will throw an exception at flipView.ItemsSource = loopingList;.

WinRT information: Cannot complete a collection modification while another modification is in progress.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000FFFF): Catastrophic failure

Cannot complete a collection modification while another modification is in progress.

at Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.ItemsControl.put_ItemsSource(Object value)

at Synergist.FlipViewExtensions.Initialize(FlipView flipView)

Although it's hard to say what's wrong here, we can set IsLooping attached property in code-behind after assigning or adding items to FlipView.ItemsSource to avoid this exception. For example:

public MainPage()
{
    this.InitializeComponent();

    var items = new Item[]
    {
        new Item { Name="1"},
        new Item { Name="2"},
        new Item { Name="3"},
        new Item { Name="4"},
        new Item { Name="5"},
        new Item { Name="6"},
        new Item { Name="7"},
        new Item { Name="8"},
        new Item { Name="9"},
        new Item { Name="10"},
    };

    var collection = new ObservableCollection<Item>();

    this.FlipView.ItemsSource = collection;

    foreach (var item in items)
    {
        collection.Add(item);
    }

    Synergist.FlipViewExtensions.SetIsLooping(this.FlipView, true);
}

It's difficult to make FlipView be looping and keep good experience in UWP.

I implemented a CarouselView using compostion api to solve the problem. See it in Github. The CarouselView have several features:

supports infinite lopping.
shows the neighbor images when the screen width is large.

It's easy to use just like the below code.

<carousel:CarouselView x:Name="carousel" ItemWidth="500"
          xmlns:carousel="using:CarouselView.Controls"/>

and then set the ItemImageSource(a List<string> dependency property) in code behind or using Binding

carousel.ItemImageSource = new List<string>()
{
    "https://img1.doubanio.com/view/photo/photo/public/p1204310498.jpg",
    "https://img1.doubanio.com/view/photo/photo/public/p1547743259.jpg",
    "https://img1.doubanio.com/view/photo/photo/public/p2183422782.jpg",
    "https://img1.doubanio.com/view/photo/photo/public/p832662844.jpg",
    "https://img1.doubanio.com/view/photo/photo/public/p752907403.jpg"
};
