Add JumpList grouping and group selection to SlideView

[Simon]

SlideView presents an excellent viewer for sliding through images, however it would be great to also enable the JumpList Group Header and Group selection capabilities.

I've just added such a feature to my own implementation using the RadPicker but the overall experience in getting it to work wasn't great.

Can this feature be extended to the Slide View (or any other list inheriting from RadDataBoundListBox)

Alternatively if you have a suggestion how to make the JumpList behave like the slide view that would be great but it currently doesn't have an orientation feature (that I can see)

Hi Simon,

Thanks for writing and for your feedback.

Indeed, enabling similar functionality in RadSlideView like in RadJumpList  sounds reasonable and we could consider it.

As for the orientation support in RadJumpList - it is already there. You can set it the following way:

<telerikPrimitives:RadJumpList x:Name="radJumpList">
    <telerikPrimitives:RadJumpList.VirtualizationStrategyDefinition>
         <telerikPrimitives:StackVirtualizationStrategyDefinition Orientation="Horizontal"/>
    </telerikPrimitives:RadJumpList.VirtualizationStrategyDefinition>
</telerikPrimitives:RadJumpList>

This will make RadJumpList order its visual items in horizontal manner. However, scrolling will be smooth and not per-item as in RadSlideView.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for letting me know about the JumpList orientation setting, but you are correct I am using the per-item docking feature of the Slide view (reason I chose that over others).

Will keep an eye out for the update in future releases
