Why is there no Click event in Tile?

[Per Thygesen]

There really should be be a Click and Command on Tile. Without it you have to go through the hassle of creating a button with a modern flat style ControlTemplate. Or is there another way?

Hello Per,

Currently, Tile does not have Command property, but we will include it as soon as possible so that you can work directly with it without the need of a button. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi,

I'm interested about a click command on a tile feature.
Do this feature has been implemented in the latest release of WPF Telerik products?

If not, how can i achieve it?
Do i have to handle the "MouseDown" event or create a button as controltemplate and wrap the tile inside?


Thank you,

Kind Regards.

Hello,

I am afraid this feature is still not implemented. The required functionality is logged in our Feedback portal as feature request and it will be implemented in one of the next versions of RadTileList. 

As a workaround, I can suggest you to use the MouseDown event.

Hello Seb,

I'm afraid that this feature is still not implemented. However the workaround that Yoan has suggested is still a viable one. 

Keep in mind that the MouseDownEvent event of the Tile is handled internally and you will need to subscribe to it by setting the handledEventsToo to "true" like so:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.AddHandler(Tile.MouseDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnMouseDownEvent),true);
        }

        private void OnMouseDownEvent(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            // Your custom logic
        }
    }

On a side note the status of the feature request will change to "Completed", when the feature is implemented.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

ok, I finally installed https://www.nuget.org/packages/Expression.Blend.Sdk/
Then, I can use XAML only syntax and command pattern.

<UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
         xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"
         xmlns:tk="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">
...
    <tk:Tile>
        <i:Interaction.Triggers>
            <i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseLeftButtonDown">
                <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding Path=MyCommand}"/>
            </i:EventTrigger>
        </i:Interaction.Triggers>
    </tk:Tile>
</UserControl>
