Disable Dragging in TileView

[Nicolas Drouin]

Hi,

I am looking to disable the tile dragging feature in TileView when no tiles are maximized.

My problem arises because my TileView Items contain RadHTMLPlaceHolders, these render a third-party ActiveX.  Unfortunately, this ActiveX does not push its mouse-hits through the window stack.  So if you are dragging the TileView, but your mouse slips over the content of the TileView, the mouse is captured by the ActiveX and you get some exciting Z-Order issues as the TileView Item's frame stops moving until you bring the mouse back off the ActiveX.   All in all, not a very elegant effect.

I don't need the dragging to work, it does not add value in this context.  How do I disable it?

I can see the property with:
 bool bDraggingEnabled = TileViewItem1.ParentTileView.IsItemDraggingEnabled;

How do I change this?

Thanks,

-Nick

Hello Nicolas Drouin,

You can set the IsItemDraggingEnabled property to "False" in the declaration of the TileView in teh XAMl or in code-behind:
TileViewItem1.ParentTileView.IsItemDraggingEnabled = false;

Give it a try and let us know if it works for you.

Hi,
Thanks, that worked and was very simple. 

I guess I was thrown off by the declaration of the property in the RadTileView class definition:
ms-help://telerik.windows.controls.Silverlight/telerik.windows.controls.api/topic2743.html  (Silverlight 3)

C#
public static readonly IsItemDraggingEnabledProperty

Which conflicts with the following, which I just found:
ms-help://telerik.windows.controls.Silverlight/telerik.windows.controls.api/topic2727.html

C#
public IsItemDraggingEnabled {get; set;}

Thanks for the info,

-Nick
