UWP: Do not zoom media transport controls for a media player element inside a scroll viewer
To prevent the zooming of media transport controls for a MediaPlayerElement
inside a ScrollViewer
in a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) application, you can disable the zoom interaction on the ScrollViewer
while still allowing scrolling. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Wrap the
MediaPlayerElement
and theScrollViewer
in a container, such as aGrid
or aStackPanel
.Disable the zoom interaction on the
ScrollViewer
by handling thePointerWheelChanged
event and setting theHandled
property of thePointerRoutedEventArgs
totrue
. This prevents the event from bubbling up to theScrollViewer
, effectively disabling the zooming behavior.
Here's an example XAML markup demonstrating this approach:
xml<Grid>
<ScrollViewer PointerWheelChanged="ScrollViewer_PointerWheelChanged">
<!-- Your content inside the ScrollViewer -->
<MediaPlayerElement Source="PathToYourMediaFile" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
And in the code-behind (C# or VB.NET), add the event handler:
csharpprivate void ScrollViewer_PointerWheelChanged(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
With this implementation, the MediaPlayerElement
inside the ScrollViewer
will not zoom when the user performs a pinch or zoom gesture. The scrolling behavior will still be preserved.
Make sure to adapt the XAML markup and event handler to your specific application structure and naming conventions.
Please note that disabling zooming may affect the overall user experience, and it is recommended to provide alternative ways for users to control media playback, such as through dedicated media transport controls outside the scrollable area.
