Examples

The following example shows how you can use this property to do something when these animation events happen, even how to cancel the animation.

        var hub = new WinJS.UI.Hub();
        hub.addEventListener("contentanimating", function (e) {
            if (e.detail.type === WinJS.UI.Hub.AnimationType.contentTransition) {
                // The hub wants to play a content transition animation. 
                // You can stop the animation by calling e.preventDefault() here.
                // Do something else here.
            } else if (e.detail.type === WinJS.UI.Hub.AnimationType.entrance) {
                // The hub wants to play an entrance animation. 
                // You can stop the animation by calling e.preventDefault() here.
                // Do something else here.
            } else if (e.detail.type === WinJS.UI.Hub.AnimationType.insert) {
                // The hub wants to play an insertion animation on a newly added hub section. 
                // You can stop the animation by calling e.preventDefault() here.
                // Do something else here.
            } else if (e.detail.type === WinJS.UI.Hub.AnimationType.remove) {
                // The hub wants to play a remove animation on a removed hub section. 
                // You can stop the animation by calling e.preventDefault() here.
                // Do something else here.
            }
        });
