SlideView height & automatic switching

[Thomas]

I've got two small issues using the SlideView control.

First, I only want to display two lines of small text at a time, but the control is always about 100px high. Is this something I have to overwrite in one of the item templates?



Second, I'd like to automatically switch the content after a few seconds, if the user hasn't interacted with the control. What would be the best way to do this?

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for writing and for your questions.



1. The default style of RadSlideView sets the MinWidth and MinHeight properties to 100 pixels. You can overwrite these settings and initialize the properties to be equal to 0.



2. The RadSlideView component exposes the MoveNext and MovePrevious methods which you can use to programmatically change the item.



I hope this helps.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the MinHeihgt property.

For the second part, I was able to get some help on StackOverflow:
