SemanticZoom Control in Universal Windows Platform

Let me brief you about Semantic Zoom control.
  • The semantic zoom control enables the user to zoom between the two different views of the same content.
  • It has zoomed in and zoomed out components. 
  • The zoomed in view is the main ListView, which the user will be first presented with.
  • The zoomed out view is the higher level view of the same content.  
Here in this article, to make it simple, I haven't used MVVM Pattern.
 
Add the classes, given below, "JumpListHelper" and "JumpListGroup", which helps to group the data properly. It groups the items into the alphabetical groups and sorts the items.
  1. public class JumpListGroup<T> : List<object>  
  2. {  
  3.       public object Key { get; set; }  
  4.   
  5.       public new IEnumerator<object> GetEnumerator()  
  6.       {  
  7.           return (System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<object>)base.GetEnumerator();  
  8.       }  
  9. }  
  10.   
  11.   public static class JumpListHelper  
  12.   {  
  13.       public static List<JumpListGroup<TSource>> ToAlphaGroups<TSource>(  
  14.           this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, string> selector)  
  15.       {  
  16.           var characterGroupings = new CharacterGroupings();  
  17.   
  18.           var keys = characterGroupings.Where(x => x.Label.Any())  
  19.               .Select(x => x.Label)  
  20.               .ToDictionary(x => x);  
  21.           keys["..."] = "\uD83C\uDF10";  
  22.   
  23.           var groupDictionary = keys.Select(x => new JumpListGroup<TSource>() { Key = x.Value })  
  24.               .ToDictionary(x => (string)x.Key);  
  25.   
  26.           var query = from item in source  
  27.                       orderby selector(item)  
  28.                       select item;  
  29.   
  30.           foreach (var item in query)  
  31.           {  
  32.               var sortValue = selector(item);  
  33.               groupDictionary[keys[characterGroupings.Lookup(sortValue)]].Add(item);  
  34.           }  
  35.   
  36.           return groupDictionary.Select(x => x.Value).ToList();  
  37.       }  
  38.   }  
Once, the data is grouped, we need to bind the data to our UI control. CollectionViewSource class helps to bind the grouped data. Add the code, given below: 
  1. public class CountryJumplist  
  2. {  
  3.     private ObservableCollection<Country> loadedCountry = new ObservableCollection<Country>();  
  4.   
  5.     public CountryJumplist(object country)  
  6.     {  
  7.         this.loadedCountry = country as ObservableCollection<Country>;  
  8.     }  
  9.   
  10.     private IList data;  
  11.   
  12.     public IList Data  
  13.     {  
  14.         get  
  15.         {  
  16.             if (this.data == null)  
  17.             {  
  18.                 var items = this.loadedCountry;  
  19.                 this.data = items.ToAlphaGroups(x => x.CountryName);  
  20.             }  
  21.             return this.data;  
  22.         }  
  23.     }  
  24.   
  25.     private CollectionViewSource collection;  
  26.   
  27.     public CollectionViewSource Collection  
  28.     {  
  29.         get  
  30.         {  
  31.             if (this.collection == null)  
  32.             {  
  33.                 this.collection = new CollectionViewSource();  
  34.                 this.collection.Source = this.Data;  
  35.                 this.collection.IsSourceGrouped = true;  
  36.             }  
  37.   
  38.             return this.collection;  
  39.         }  
  40.     }  
  41. }  
  42.   
  43. public class Country  
  44. {  
  45.     public string CountryName { get; set; }  
  46. }

  92.            </SemanticZoom.ZoomedOutView>  
  93.        </SemanticZoom>  
  94.    </Grid>  
Listview and Gridview have been used inside Semantic zoom control for zoom in and zoom out views. In page resources, I added a couple of DataTemplates ("AlphaGroupHeaderTemplate" and "AlphaJumpListPickerItemTemplate") to design and bind for zoom in and zoom out views.

  45.     CountryList.Add(new Country() { CountryName = "United States of America (USA)" });  
  46.     CountryList.Add(new Country() { CountryName = "Vietnam" });  
  47.     CountryList.Add(new Country() { CountryName = "Yemen" });  
  48.     CountryList.Add(new Country() { CountryName = "Zimbabwe" });  
  49.   
  50.     CountryJumplist countryJumpList = new CountryJumplist(CountryList);  
  51.     lstAlphaGroupHeader.ItemsSource = countryJumpList.Collection.View;  
  52.     grdAlphaJumpListPicker.ItemsSource = countryJumpList.Collection.View.CollectionGroups;  
  53. }  
I have added the items to object "CountryList" of type ObservableCollection<Country>, then I am passing the object as a constructor paramater of CountryJumpList.
