default the Zoom to Auto

[Steve]

when an image loads up, the ImageEditorUI shows a drop down in the lower right hand corner starting at 100% and you can change the zoom of the image by selecting a different 10% , 50%, auto .. etc.

I would like to default that drop down to "Auto" instead of 100%?

Thanks

Hello Steve,

You have confirmed that the following approach works OK in the support ticket you opened, but I will post it here for other developers who wonder how this can be done.

In order to have the image shown in Auto size, you need to set the ScaleFactor property of RadImageEditor to 0. This can only be done after the ImageEditor has been loaded and an Image has been opened in the editor. The following snippet shows how this can be done:

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.ImageEditorUI.ImageEditorLoaded += new EventHandler(ImageEditorUI_ImageEditorLoaded);
}

void ImageEditorUI_ImageEditorLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.ImageEditorUI.ImageEditor.History.CurrentImageChanged += new EventHandler(History_CurrentImageChanged);
}

void History_CurrentImageChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.ImageEditorUI.Image != null)
    {
        this.ImageEditorUI.ImageEditor.ScaleFactor = 0;
    }
}

The code from the snippet works for versions of the controls after Q2 SP1 (2011.2.920), i.e. in order to achieve the Auto scaling, you should download an internal build or the recently released Q3 Beta (2011.3.1020).
More information on the History property of the editor can be found here.
