Windows Store: Disable webView zoom

Question

Zooming is turned on by default in a WebView Element in Windows Store 8/8.1 Apps. How can you disable zooming in a WebView? I don't want users on any device (especially touch devices) to zoom in and out of a WebView. I am using c# as the programming language.

You can't disable zoom in webview for windows store apps. AFAIK it is still won't work for windows 8.1

from here. But you can handle(resize the content) zoom of webview if you want. Look at this

Try this Sample

I believe they are using this in IE 10 Link.

Edit :

You can use RichTextBlock to display HTML string.

More info is here & here

Hope this helpful

Thanks for your answer. That's what I suspected. It really doesn't seem to be possible. – Johann Feb 13 '14 at 07:58
@user1954801 U didn't mention what you are loading in webview. By knowing this we can any find alternative remedy for this. – Kumar Feb 13 '14 at 08:31
I am loading a custom html-string. – Johann Feb 14 '14 at 07:20
Pretty hacky solution I assume (parsing html..). With inline JavaScript and CSS, this seems to be a dead end. +1 for your effort! – Johann Feb 14 '14 at 11:15
