Dynamically Setting Background Colour of RadTileViewItem Header

[Naren]

Hi Miro Miroslavov ,
you replyed me in the post with following link
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/tileview/dynamically-setting-background-colour-to-radtileviewitem-header.aspx#1423338

The solution you provided show customization for static tile view(Tile view declared in Xaml).
I want customization for tile view created at runtime in code........

I am creating RadTileView at runtime as follows

public MainPage()
        {
            // Required to initialize variables
            InitializeComponent()
           
RadTileView myTView = new RadTileView();

           RadTileViewItem myTileViewItem = new RadTileViewItem();
            myTileViewItem.Header = "My Header";
myTView.Items.Add(myTileViewItem);
        }
How can i set header background color of myTileViewItem to Green in code .

can you  provide solution for above...
Thanks in advance

Hi Naren,

The solution Miroslav has provided will work even if you define the items dyncamically. Please have a look at the attached project (tileviewheader.zip).

However, if you want to set custom color to each tile item separately, you need to take a look at the second attached project (tileviewcustomcolor.zip).

The solution to set the colour of the header doesn't work as item.ChildrenOfType<Border>() is always = 0 when I try this?

Hello Naren,

Are you sure you haven`t missed the dispatcher from the sample? It is mandatory in this case, since it ensures that the visual containers have been generated.
