RadTileElement behavior problem when setting the CellSize

[OD]

Hello,

I have a problem to handle RadTileElement when setting the TileGroupElement.CellSize property.

I create a TileGroupElement and set the RowCount Property to 3, then i add 3 RadTileElements.

I create a second TileGroupElement, set the RowCount Property to 3, the CellSize to 250;50 and then i add 3 RadTileElement.

When I launch the project, the two groups have different behavior.

On the first one, i can do everything, i can position RadTileElement where i want.

On the second one, the behavior is really different. If i move the RadTileElements the position management is a mystery, it is impossible to rearrange them in columns when they have move to row.

            End If
        Finally
            MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
        End Try
    End Sub

My question is how can i handle RadTileElement of the second group like those in the first one ?

I am using VB.Net radcontrols 2016 Q3 SP1.

Thanks in advance for helping me.

Best regards.

Hello Jean-Marc,

Thank you for writing.  

We already have a similar issue logged in our feedback portal and I have added a vote for it on your behalf. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your comments on the following link - feedback item.

Note that each RadTileElement is positioned in the RadPanorama according to the RadTileElement.Row and the RadTileElement.Column properties. In order to avoid the confusing drag and drop operation, I can suggest you manipulate the RowSpan and ColSpan properties of the RadTileElement instead of modifying the TileGroupElement.CellSize.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Regards,
Dess
