RadRotator for WPF

[Art Kedzierski]

Are there any plans to port the RadRotator control (my favourite) to WPF or SilverLight? I'm relatively new to WPF, so maybe there's a methodology for easily re-creating this effect that I am not familiar with.

Hi Art Kedzierski,

Thanks for your question. We have not planned this for the upcoming Q1 2010 release. Have you considered our RadCoverFlow control for Silverlight or RadCarousel for WPF. They seem to pretty much handle similar scenarios.

My intent is to page through data automatically without user intervention for a public display board application. I don't see an Auto Advance option on RadCarousel (perhaps it could be coded with a DispatcherTimer). I'll play with it. 

Let me know if RadRotator makes its way into a future WPF (and Silverlight) release. Is there a more appropriate place to make a formal request?

Hello,

The forums are a good place to post feature requests. As Nick said, we don't have immediate plans for a rotator control, but the good news is that we will provide a transition content control that will greatly ease the coding of a rotator. On the other hand, in the examples of this control we could provide a simple data-bound rotator, that could be used by everyone.

I think a sample of a data-bound rotator would be a marvelous idea. I will anxiously await the transition content control with baited breath.
