Access to RadTileViewItem

[Nova]

Hi,

I try to use TileView control and fill it by ItemsSource. In this case, how can I get RadTileViewItem to configure it internal controls? TileView.Items collection contains viewmodels (not RadTileViewItems). I need something like TileView.VisibleContainers property. but it is internal.

Thanks

Hi Aleksey,

RadTileView inherits from ItemsControl and automatically benefits from its ItemContainerGenerator. Using the ItemContainerGenerator you can retrieve the RadTileViewItems in the following manner:

private void GetContainerFromItem(object item)
{
    RadTileViewItem container = this.myTileView.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(item) as RadTileViewItem;
}

private void GetContainerFromIndex(int index)
{
    RadTileViewItem container = this.myTileView.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index) as RadTileViewItem;
}

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

On a separate note, I'd like to let you know that recently we had our official 2012 Q1 release. There are 5 brand new controls that we included in this release:
- Diagrams (Beta)
- GanttView (CTP)
- TimeLine
- ListBox (Beta)
- DataBar

When you have time, you can give them a try. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation.

  All the best,

Thanks, but I decided this problem differently.
