TileList Buttons

[MiddleTommy]

Is there a way to make the TileList able to work like buttons? Like the windows start screen? where you can click on a tile and it has a "Clicked" or "Touched" event that can be used to navigate to another view? Having it selectable and all but that should only be on right clicking or tap & hold.

Hi Tommy ,

Indeed the Beta version has some limitations. We are currently adding some additional functionality to ease touch and click scenarios.
Thanks for your feedback . we are definitely going to consider it !
i am updating your Telerik points.

I haven't tried it yet but could you modify the template to use a button that has a command attached to it that intern navigates to a new page.  just a thought

Hello Tommy,

Currently Tiles consume the touch and click events and steal them form the button.
There is a service pack scheduled for the next week. It will  have the problem solved .  Additionally there will be an event exposed at the level of RadTileList ( for non MVVM fans) to serve tile click event handling scenarios.
I am leaving this thread open and will attach a small runnable example the next week with the fresh binaries.

Hi Tommy ,

A quick follow-up : The service pack will most probably be available for download tomorrow.
It will have the fixes needed to place and use a button inside a Tile.

Let me know if I can assist further.

Kind regards,
