Surface 2.0 ScatterViewItem.Center load item and check if items on same position

Question

I've got a problem:

I capture the position of ScatterViewItems: Center.X, Center.Y and Orientation.

For example:

• Item1: X: 595,037655575406 Y: 322,207060644012 Orientation: 0,660569393375486

• Item2: X: 606,055258773819 Y: 327,601041845081 Orientation: 180,591312945756

If I load the items via code the position is not the same (it seems to be moved a few pixels).

The next issue is: I want to check if two items are exactly on the same position.

If true raise an event and lock the items.

Thank you in advance.

Use ActualCenter property and ActualOrientation property when reading it back.

The Center is moved? Check the margin of the ScatterView Same Position?

Vector v = item1.ActualCenter - item2.ActualCenter;
if (v.Length < 10) //within 10 pixel distance
{
      //Raise your event
      item1.CanMove = item2.CanMove = item2.CanRotate = item2.CanRotate = false;
}
