ScrollableView does not work in Windows Phone 7

[cyrus-smith]

We've found that ScrollableView? does not scroll when run on Windows Phone. Tests were made on emulator and on real device Sansung Omnia W (Windows Phone 7.5) To reproduce, just create vertical list, wrapped with <div data-dojo-type="dojox.mobile.ScrollableView?">

Oh, you are the first one who tried dojox.mobile on Windows Phone. :)
Out of curiosity, how were the other widgets on Windows Phone?
What version of dojo did you use? The trunk code, or 1.7.x?
Another interest is quality of the emulator. What do you think about reproducibility of the emulator?

Emulator displays UI much the same as real device. Widgets looks not so smooth as on android or ios. They are functional except for the scrollable bug.

BTW Cyrus, can you tell me the output of ​http://bill.dojotoolkit.org/trunk/hasTest.html on a Windows7 phone? It's meant for webkit only but I'm curious how well IE/mobile stacks up.

Here's emulators output for hasTest:

userAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0; Microsoft; XDeviceEmulator) appVersion: 5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0; Microsoft; XDeviceEmulator)

Differences from expected values for webkit: ie: expected = undefined, actual: 9 event-orientationchange: expected = true, actual: false events-mouseenter: expected = false, actual: true touch: expected = true, actual: false

OK, thanks, looks like IE is running as well as webkit (or at least, can use more-or-less the same profile as webkit).

I've made some investigation of event handling in WP7 browser. It appears that IE9 on WP7 does not support touch event. Instead, one should use old good onmousedown and onmousemove (on touch device!). Another bad news is that IE9 Mobile does not distinguish between onmousedown and onmousemove events. It looks like one can scroll only using native browser capabilities

That's too bad.. but thank you for the investigation.

We don't and we won't support WP7 so I'm closing that one as invald as we don't claim support. That said we will support WP8 in 1.9. See #16175.
