Help with UI Design

[John]

I am updating an old VB 6 application to VS 2013 using the Telerik for WPF controls version 4.5.  I think we are moving to using the Tilegrid and tiles for the opening navigation.  We are anticipating moving to touch soon and this fits with most people's experience with smart phones.  I have laid out the Tilegrid and have some tiles working, and by the way very easy to use.  I just need some guidance and direction on how to proceed when the user clicks a tile or touches a tile.  I would like to have an input form open on top of the grid with the inputs needed and I would like it to animate up and over the tilegrid, and when the form is closed, have it shrink back down and out of site and reveal the Tilegrid again.

Does anyone have an example of how this works and the Telerik controls to use?  I don't need full solution, just a tile click and animated form to get started, I think I can take it from there.

Thanks.

Hello John,

I am not sure that I fully understand your requirements. Which control you refer to? Are you talking about our RadTileView?

After reading your specifications I have the feeling that this is the right control for your scenario. Another possible fit is our RadTileList control.

For more information about those controls you can refer to our demos. 

Regarding the animations. Please note that there are some built-in animations that you can use out of the box. However, if they do not fit your scenario you will need to manually implement the ones that you need.
