Hi!

We are using RadTileView control and would like to achieve the attached layout.
We removed the headers from the tiles and would like to have the window resizable (not fixed width tiles in restored form).
The problem is that tile number 3 is either next to tile 2 or in the beginning of the last row.
The XAML is below:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:Telerik_Windows_Controls_TileView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.TileView;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation"

Hi Krisztian,

You can achieve your goal with two RadTileView controls. The first one will hold first three items - one maximized and two minimized, and the second control will hold other four items (in restored state) with set RowsCount property to 1. This approach is demonstrated in the attached project.

In case that this approach doesn't work for you, please take a look at our new RadTileList control and this online demonstration. Keep in mind that you can set the TileType property of a Tile to Quadruple in order to show a tile in two rows. If you need further assistance on the RadTileList control please start a new support thread.

We managed to achieve the desired layout with RadTileView. We had to understand the way it places tiles (in every row there is the same amount of tiles, then it fills from topmost row). So by placing almost invisible tiles the layout can be modified to our needs. But sizing these invisible tiles was important. I copy the result:

<telerik:RadTileView x:Name="MyTileView"

MaximizeMode="ZeroOrOne"

ColumnsCount="6"

IsDockingEnabled="True"

RowHeight="Auto"

ColumnWidth="Auto"

IsItemsSizeInPercentages="True"

PreservePositionWhenMaximized="True"

MinimizedColumnWidth="130"

TilesStateChanged="RadTileView_TilesStateChanged"

MinimizedItemsPosition="Right"

IsItemDraggingEnabled="false"

TileStateChangeTrigger="SingleClick"

Padding="0"

telerik:TileViewPanel.IsColumnsShrinkEnabled="True"

telerik:TileViewPanel.IsRowsShrinkEnabled="True"

TileStateChanged="RadTileView_TileStateChanged" >

<telerik:RadTileViewItem Header="Rögzítés"

MinimizedHeight="120"

RestoredWidth="66"

RestoredHeight="66"

Style="{DynamicResource RadTileViewItemStyle}">

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl State="Normal" ContentChangeMode="Manual" >

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl>

</telerik:RadTileViewItem>

<telerik:RadTileViewItem Header="Címtár"

MinimizedHeight="120"

RestoredWidth="34"

RestoredHeight="33"

Style="{DynamicResource RadTileViewItemStyle}">

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl State="Normal" ContentChangeMode="Manual">

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl>

</telerik:RadTileViewItem>

<telerik:RadTileViewItem Header="Hidden item" RestoredHeight="33" RestoredWidth="0.001" MinimizedHeight="0" MinimizedWidth="0" Style="{DynamicResource RadTileViewItemStyleHidden}"/>

<telerik:RadTileViewItem Header="Hidden item" RestoredHeight="0.001" RestoredWidth="66" MinimizedHeight="0" MinimizedWidth="0" Style="{DynamicResource RadTileViewItemStyleHidden}"/>

<telerik:RadTileViewItem Header="Keresés"

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl State="Normal" ContentChangeMode="Manual">

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl>

</telerik:RadTileViewItem>

<telerik:RadTileViewItem Header="statik2" Background="White"

RestoredWidth="17"

RestoredHeight="33"

Style="{DynamicResource RadTileViewItemStyleStatic}" MinimizedHeight="0" MinimizedWidth="0">

<Image Source="Images/statik2.png" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="25"/>

</telerik:RadTileViewItem>

</telerik:RadTileView>

I had to modify the styles also, there are some static tiles when you click them nothing happens. The invisible tiles should not appear even as placeholder in the tile list in minimized mode, etc...
Finally we could achieve what we needed. Thank you!
