Hi sunkilla,

There is no SelectedItem property in the RadTileView because there's no concept of a selected item in that control. You can try to use the MaximizedItem property or you can add a handler for the MouseLeftButtonDown() event and check if the click was inside the RadTileViewItems header bar like that:

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.AddHandler(RadTileView.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent, new                                                       MouseButtonEventHandler(myTileView_MouseLeftButtonDown), true);
}

private void myTileView_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    if ((e.OriginalSource as Border).ParentOfType<RadTileViewItem>() != null)
        selectedItemText.Text = (e.OriginalSource as Border).ParentOfType<RadTileViewItem>().Header.ToString();
}

If you have further questions feel free to ask.

Sincerely yours,

How would I use the MaximizedItem property to get the value of the selecteditem header?  Example?

Hi Clint,

 These properties are different by design and are used for different purposes. You can examine this blog post describing the Selection feature in RadTileView. The e.OriginalSource in the SelectionChanged event will give you the selected RadTileViewItem and you will be able to access its header. Is this suitable for you ?

Perfect.  Wasn't aware you guys added those options.  Thanks!
