Customize for multiple selection delete.

[Haris]

I want to create a video library for a kiosk application. Can you please tell me if the following is possible? And if possible the level of difficulty involved:

 

1. I want to replace the maximize icon in the minimized tile with either a delete icon or a checkbox. Checkbox would be preferable so the user can delete multiple items at once.  
2. I want to add a label next to the Item name. 
3. If the user touches (touch screen application) the minimized tile. I want it to expand (i.e. of course outside the delete icon or checkbox).

Hi Haris,

As far as I understand your requirement you need to extract and edit the default template of the TileViewItemHeader control. This is the control that represents the header of each RadTileViewItem. You can follow the approach described in this article to extract it.

Furthermore, you will be able to find a ToggleButton control, representing the maximize button, and replace it with the desired CheckBox. Please note that the text of the header is hosted by a ContentPresenter and you can add any other UIElement next to it (using a StackPanel or Grid). This approach is straight forward and you will be able to achieve it with minimum effort.

On the other hand, the RadTileView supports touch interaction and your third requirement is achieved out of the box.
