BringItemIntoView not working on Loaded Event

[Scott]

Hello,

I am trying to call the following code during the Loaded event and it does not work:

Carousel.CarouselItem item = (Carousel.CarouselItem)Scenes.Children[3];
Scenes.BringItemIntoView(item, true);

I have similar code being called for the MouseDown event and it works fine. I know that I can call the .MoveBy method, but I'd like to move to a particular item in the list. Please not that I am using a CarouselPanel with custom UserControl as the child nodes.

Hi Scott,

Setting AutoLoadItems to false should fix the problem.

Best wishes,

Milan, as you can see from my CarouselPanel definition, I do have AutoLoadItems set to False:

<telerik:RadCarouselPanel Name="Scenes" AutoLoadItems="False" Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" MouseDown="CarouselPanel_MouseDown" ItemsPerPage="7" Loaded="SelectSceneLoaded">

Thoughts?

Hello Scott,

It seems that there is a bug in the BringItemIntoView method which is already scheduled to be fixed. In the meantime you can use the MoveBy method of RadCarouselPanel to scroll the panel by the specified number of positions.

Thank you for your reporting the issue. I have updated your Telerik points.

Sincerely yours,

Thank you for validating this for me Milan. I tried to resolve this, so I will use MoveBy in the meantime until the next release resolves the issue.

Milan,
I was assuming that this issue was going to be fixed in the 2010 Q2 release, yet I see no changes listed in the release notes for the Carousel control. Do you have any idea when this issue will be resolved? I do not see it in PITS either, should I add it? 

Since I've switched to the Crousel instead of the CarouselPanel, I'm actually using BringDataItemIntoView but am having the same results.

Hello Scott,

The issue for RadCarouselPanel is still unresolved. We will try to fix the issue as soon as possible.

Since you are now using RadCarousel you need to set AutoLoadItems to false to resolve the problem with calling BringDataItemIntoView in the Loaded event.

Kind regards,

Milan,
AutoLoadItems is not a member of RadCarousel, only RadCarouselPanel.

Hi Scott,

You can easily customize the RadCarouselPanel for a given RadCarousel using the ItemsPanel property of RadCarousel.

<telerik:RadCarousel Name="RadCarousel1">
    <telerik:RadCarousel.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <telerik:RadCarouselPanel AutoLoadItems="false" ItemsPerPage="3" />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </telerik:RadCarousel.ItemsPanel>
</telerik:RadCarousel>

All the best,
Milan

Great, I will give this a try. Thanks Milan.
