The PagedControl class defines the basic functionality for controls that use internal pagination, and can divide their content over multiple pages. These includes the List, LiteralText, ObjectList, and TextView controls, all of which derive from this class. To create a custom control that supports internal pagination, derive it from PagedControl. Override the ItemWeight property so that it returns the approximate weight of an individual item in the control. (The default weight is 100, which corresponds to a single line on the device using the default unit system.) Then, when rendering the control's output, call the FirstVisibleItemIndex( ) method, which will tell you the first item to render, and the VisibleItemCount( ) method to determine how many items to render. Your paged control will automatically fire the LoadItems event as needed.

PagedControl  : MobileControl {
// Protected Constructors

PagedControl ( );

FirstVisibleItemIndex {get; }

ItemCount {set; get; }

ItemsPerPage {set; get; }

VisibleItemCount {get; }
