How do i get in which column the particular "TileViewItem" is?

[James]

Hi There,

Thank you for the Q3 release.

I was waiting for the official release of the "TileView" control, and with this Q3 release I have started using it in our application.

I was wondering, how do i get the column number of the "TileViewItem"?

I add the "TileViewItem" dynamically into the "TileView" control, and TileViewControl adds the "TileViewItem" into the next column in the queue.
Now, I need to know which "TileViewItem" is in which column.

Is there any way i can achieve with the current available version?

Thanks,
Bhavin

Hi James,

You can get the current column of the item in the following way:

// In case you added RadtileViewItem objects in the TileView
Grid.GetColumn(tileViewName.Items[0] as RadTileViewItem);

// Alternatively, in case you populated the TileView from a data source
Grid.GetColumn(tileViewName.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(dataItem) as RadTileViewItem);

Of course, the above code makes sense only when all items are in Restored state - otherwise there is a Maximized item and the rest are in the same column or row depending on where the minimized items are docked.

I hope I was able to help. Let me know if you have any other questions.
