    Hello Raj,

    Thank you for your question.

    Putting RadPanel inside the panorama tiles is possible via RadHostItem:
    RadHostItem host = new RadHostItem(radPanel1);
    radTileElement1.Children.Add(host);

    However, this is not recommended because RadPanel is a control and putting it in an animated and draggable tile will result in visual glitches and slow performance. I would rather suggest adding the elements that correspond to a control (for example RadButtonElement) directly to the tile's Children collection.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards,
    Ivan Todorov

    Thanks for your response.

    If this is not recommended, how can I do the following:
    - Add multiple Labels to single Tile
    - Add Grid to to the Tile at runtime 

    Thanks

    Hi Raj,

    Thank you for writing.

    Labels can be easily added by adding RadLabelElements to the Children collection of the tile:
    RadLabelElement label = new RadLabelElement();
    label.Text = "I am a label";
    tile.Children.Add(label);

    As to the grid, it cannot be used as element, only as control and you can host it by using RadHostItem, as demonstrated in the previous post. However, as already mentioned, hosting controls will hit the performance and will produce visual glitches when scrolling.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello Kevin,

    You can just add a new LightVisualElement to the tile element itself to achieve this:
    public class ModernLiveTileElement : RadLiveTileElement
    {
        public LightVisualElement lowerElement;
     
        protected override void CreateChildElements()
        {
            base.CreateChildElements();
     
            lowerElement = new LightVisualElement();
            lowerElement.StretchVertically = false;
            lowerElement.Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.BottomCenter;
             
            lowerElement.DrawFill = true;
            lowerElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
            lowerElement.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(180, 74, 200, 111);
            lowerElement.ShouldHandleMouseInput = false;
            this.Children.Add(lowerElement);
        }
    }

    I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

    Hello Muhammad,

    Thank you for writing.

    I would recommend you to use custom tiles approach instead of hosting controls. The following help article is quite useful on this topic: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/panorama/custom-tiles
    Note that in order to start the drag and drop operation when clicking some of the inner elements, the respective element should notify its parent for the mouse input (set the NotifyParentOnMouseInput property to true).

    If you are still experiencing any further difficulties, feel free to open a support ticket and provide a sample project replicating the undesired behavior. Thus, we would be able to investigate the precise case and assist you further. Thank you in advance.

    I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
