CoverFlow event request

[Ludovic Gerbault]

Hi telerik team

I was wondering if it is possible to include another event on the telerik coverflow.

Like the RadGrid view which has a rowloaded event, would it be possible to get a coverflow item loaded event, fired for each item in a coverflow when it's bind to a collection (from datacontext or itemsource) ?

Hi Ludovic,

Why do you need this event? Generally you could get the same behavior if you put a UserControl in the ItemTemplate of RadCoverFlow and handle its Loaded event. Is this workaround acceptable?

I don't know, I'll have to try it.

The scenario I've been asked to implement is to attach a context menu on each item of the coverflow.

Since I'm using the rowloaded event on the radgridview, I was just thinking that it might be the same way concerning the coverflow

Usually I don't recommend attaching separate context menu on each row, since this would generate lots of context menu controls, thus increasing the memory footprint of the application an decreasing the performance. I would rather recommend attaching a single context menu on the whole CoverFlow (or GridView, or TreeView) and configuring it when it is opened:

The thing is that in my scenario, the content of the context menu depends entirely on the content of the row/item on which it is being attached
