DataBoundListBox - Tilt Effect

[Dele]

Currently, the Silverlight Toolkit for WP7 has a Tilt Effect I can use with List Boxes.  Am I able to use the same class on the Databoundlistbox?  It currently doesn't work, so whenever I click on an item in the listbox, there is no visual cue to indicate it was clicked.

Any suggestions?

Hi Dele,

Thanks for writing and for your question.

Yes, you can use the Telerik's tilt effect with the RadDataBoundListBox control. To do so, you need to set the InteractionEffectManager.IsInteractionEnabled attached property to the RadDataBoundListBox to true and add the RadDataBoundListBoxItem type to the allowed types for interaction effects. Take a look at the following code snippet:

this.lbRecentAlerts.SetValue(InteractionEffectManager.IsInteractionEnabledProperty, true);            InteractionEffectManager.AllowedTypes.Add(typeof(RadDataBoundListBoxItem));

You can do this in the constructor of your page.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

How can I do the following in xaml, is it possible, or do i need to do this in the view's code behind?

NewsListBox.SetValue(

 

InteractionEffectManager.IsInteractionEnabledProperty, true);

 

 

 

 

InteractionEffectManager.AllowedTypes.Add(typeof(RadDataBoundListBoxItem));

Hello Keith,

You can set the IsInteractionEnabled property in XAML. However, the AllowedTypes collection can only be modified in code.

I hope this helps.
