Notes for previous versions

Windows 8.x Header alignment is handled differently in apps compiled for Windows 8 than in apps compiled for Windows 8.1.

• In an app compiled for Windows 8, the header is always left-aligned when the orientation of the items is Horizontal, or top-aligned when the orientation is Vertical. VerticalAlignment and HorizontalAlignment values that you set are ignored.
• In an app compiled for Windows 8.1, you can specify the header alignment. VerticalAlignment and HorizontalAlignment values that you set are not ignored.
