Problem with RadTileViewItem and specific RestoredHeight property

[David]

Hallo,
we are using Telerik Q1 2011 for WPF and we would like to organize any parts of the UI form into "RadTileView". Default UI state is to have all "RadTileViewItem" in the Restored state and if user wants, he can maximize specific part of form... Problem is, when I want to specify height of each "RadTileViewItem" - I do it by setting the "RestoredHeight" property. All restored "RadTileViewItem"s has correct height, but problem is, that parent "RadTileView" area has still 'reserver' area with 'default' height according the parent pane size/count of items - see the screenshot, please. Thank you for any help.
 David.

Hi Tomas,
Currently this is the behavior of the RadTileView in restored state - the RowHeight is the height of the largest teleview item and that's why those empty spaces occur. With the Q2 2011 Beta we'll release some new features and with them you'll be able to place teleview items with different sizes in restored state without leaving empty spaces.
If you have more questions feel free to ask.

Best wishes,

Hallo Zarko,
version Q2 2011 is here, but I can't find any progress regarding different TileViewItem height - if I set "RestoredHeight" property, TileView parent area is still boxed with height, which is the same for each TileViewItem.. Can you tell me, how to set different height for each TileViewItem in case, when all Items are restored? Thank you very much.
T.

Hi Zarko,
thank you very much for your answer - "telerik:TileViewPanel.IsRowsShrinkEnabled" works really great! Only what I miss is such example in the Telerik's Demo...
Regards
 Thomas.

Hello Tomas,
Thank you for the suggestion. We'll probably add such an example in one of our next releases.
