Flip Book page in bottom to top mode

[deva sudan]

Hi -

Is it possible to flip the book control in bottom to top mode.  Similar to Table top calendar flipping upside-down, can we make the book control pages to flip rather flipping from left-right. 

Thanks,
Deva

That's cool to have the flip book of vertical orientation like a calendar. I've tried the flipbook maker: http://www.kvisoft.com/flipbook-maker/. It's good on the whole, but it cannot create vertical flipping, that's a pity.

Hello Leiy,

You can also try using Telerik's LayoutTransformControl:

<UserControl x:Class="ID_313533.MainPage" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300"
        d:DesignWidth="400">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerik:LayoutTransformControl Width="400" Height="500">
            <telerik:LayoutTransformControl.LayoutTransform>
                <RotateTransform Angle="90.3" />
            </telerik:LayoutTransformControl.LayoutTransform>
            <telerik:RadBook x:Name="book1">
                <telerik:RadBook.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Background="LightGreen">
                            <telerik:LayoutTransformControl>
                                <telerik:LayoutTransformControl.LayoutTransform>
                                    <RotateTransform Angle="-90.3" />
                                </telerik:LayoutTransformControl.LayoutTransform>
                                <StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                                        Orientation="Horizontal">
                                    <TextBlock Text="Page #" FontSize="18" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
                                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding }" FontSize="18" FontWeight="Bold" />
                                </StackPanel>
                            </telerik:LayoutTransformControl>
                        </Border>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </telerik:RadBook.ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:RadBook>
        </telerik:LayoutTransformControl>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace ID_313533
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.book1.ItemsSource = Enumerable.Range(0, 10);
        }
    }
}
