I'm using a webview in an app to display externally hosted content, but the web view lets the user zoom with a pinch gesture and I'd like to disable this.
I can't find any such property on the webview itself, and I've not had any success with a viewport meta tag such as:
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no">
Is there a way to do this?
Unfortunately this is not possible.

If the WebView
works similarly to the WP7 version then you may be able to catch the events in html and cancel them there similarly to this.
I was able to disable pinch and zoom in Windows 8.1 WebView using following in CSS:
html, body
{
-ms-content-zooming:none;
}
There's a long list stuff try:

Just put a
<Rectangle Fill="Transparent"/>
over the webview and that is it.
