phone:WebBrowser disable pan/zoom wp7?

Question

I am using this code,

Answer 1

If you can change the HTML maybe you can add the viewport metadata: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag

I use it in my WP7 app (Stacks for Instapaper) to display web pages with specific width so the reading experience is not hampered by zooming/panning

I use this values:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />

Answer 2

I think you have a better way capturing the manipulation events, if it is in WP7.5 Mango since the browser controls are completely different, which I read from this link. I have marked the important stuff.

Answer 3

Set IsHitTestVisible to False, and you can no longer do interactions on the control.

ie. <phone:WebBrowser IsHitTestVisible="False" ... />

Answer 4

The webbbrowser control in Windows Phone still allows for zoom and scroll because this is done on a control "above" the actual browser component.

This can be disabled in C# (additionally you can probably detect right/left vs up/down scroll gestures and suppress them individually)
