Hi Sultan,

Thank you for writing. Yes, you can add custom control using RadHostItem class. Please refer the Documentation and see sample code below:

    
            MyControl control = new MyControl(); 
        
            control.Size = new Size(100, 100);//set size manually 
        
            RadHostItem item = new RadHostItem(control); 
        
            item.MinSize = new Size(100, 100); 
        
            radCarousel1.Items.Add(item);

Hope this helps.

Hi Carolina ,

Thank you for your interest in RadControls. You can add MSLabel inside a RadCarousel using the following lines of code:

    
            Dim control As Label = New Label 
        
            control.Text = "Hello" 
        
            Dim item As Telerik.WinControls.RadHostItem = New Telerik.WinControls.RadHostItem(control) 
        
            item.MinSize = New Size(40, 20) 
        
            control.MinimumSize = New Size(40, 20) 
        
            RadCarousel1.Items.Add(item)

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

All the best,

Thank Peter, the example works ok.
It is possible load an activex like an element of carousel?
I'm testing, but I have this exception, "System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException'."

Thanks

Hello Carolina,

Thanks for getting back to us. In general, we have not tested our Carousel with ActiveX items. However, I would like to ask you to prepare a sample project that reproduces the mentioned exception that we can use to investigate the case in order to be able to provide proper support.

Please note that you are not able to upload files in our forums. Therefore I would ask you to open a support ticket so that you can send us your project.

Thanks for your time. I am looking forward to receiving the requested details.

Best wishes,
Deyan

Hi Deyan,
Thank's , I will generate a ticket, and send it the whole project.

From the other hand, here is an example of my source code.
In a carousel , I want to integrate a COM component(in this case flash component) such as a button.
The COM Component loads as a button in a carousel, but it doesn't show flash movie.

Private
Private

Sub RadButtonElement2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButtonElement2.Click

Dim control_flash As AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash = New AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash
control_flash.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(125, 76)

Dim item_flash As Telerik.WinControls.RadHostItem = New Telerik.WinControls.RadHostItem(control_flash)

item_flash.MinSize =

New Size(100, 100)

control_flash.MinimumSize =

New Size(40, 20)

RadCarousel1.Items.Add(item_flash)

End Sub

Regards,
Carolina

Hi Carolina ,

Thanks for sending us your code. In general, your code is correct. Hosting controls in RadCarousel is a common scenario. However, I would still need your demo project so that I can take a thorough look and try to be of help. Thanks for your time. I am looking forward to receiving the requested application .

Hi All,
the example didn't work for me! May-be, I'm doing something wrong?
Here is my Code:

    
            RadHostItem i1 = new RadHostItem(new Button()); 
        
            i1.MinSize = new Size(100, 100); 
        
            RadHostItem i2 = new RadHostItem(new Button()); 
        
            i2.MinSize = new Size(100, 100);  
        
            radCarousel1.Items.Add(i1); 
        
            radCarousel1.Items.Add(i2);

RadCarousel can't add control winform and can't add Usercontrol.
It can only add Item's contain in item Colection.

Hello Nguyen,

Thank you for writing.

You cannot add user controls directly to RadCarousel's Items collection.
You should add the User Control to RadHostItem and add the RadHostItem to the Items collection, for example:

RadHostItem i1 = new RadHostItem(new MyUserControl());

i1.MinSize = new Size(100, 100);

radCarousel1.Items.Add(i1);

I hope this helps.

All the best,
Peter
