Dynamic DataTemplates

[Bryan Brannon]

Hello, I have a RadTileView and wondered how to change the DataTemplate for the RadTilveView.ItemTemplate (header) based on the state or configuration of the RadTileView?

Example:

<!-- TileView.HeaderTemplate -->
<DataTemplate x:Key="MinimizedHeaderTemplate">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding PatientName}" Width="125" Margin="14,0,0,0" />
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

<DataTemplate x:Key="MaximizedHeaderTemplate">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding PatientName}" Width="125" Margin="14,0,0,0" />
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Age}" Width="30" Margin="14,0,0,0" />
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Protocol}" Width="100" Margin="14,0,0,0" />
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Actions}" Width="65" Margin="14,0,0,0" />
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding RegTime}" Width="75" Margin="14,0,0,0" />
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

Is there something I can bind the ItemTemplate to to evaluate the state of the currently selected item?

I figured this out using the RadFluidContentControl described here.

Basically, use one template and depending on the size of the content display different states of the templates.

Hello Bryan Brannon,

I am glad you found a solution to your scenario. You can also have a look at this article, which illustrate how to databind the RadTileView and take advantage of the RadFluidContentControl. You should also keep in mind that it is better to change the state of the FluidContentControl based on the TileState changes rather than relying on the Threshold properties.

I hope that info will help. Let us know if we can further assist you.
