[Solved] How to force RadPictureRotatorHubTile to rotate?

[Morten]

I have a RadPictureRotatorHubTile's PicturesSource property binded to a collection which is updated asynchronously from the web. This works, but the control does not fetch the first image until the next update is called, which is an issue when UpdateInterval is set to a high value, like 30 seconds. I would expect the control to reset itself and rotate when the collection is updated or assigned, but since it's not how can I call the update method manually?

Thanks,
Morten

Hi Morten,

Thank you for your interest.

At this point there is no acceptable way to update the hubtile manually. I admit that the described behavior would be more appropriate and I will log this as a feature request and will forward it to our developers for further consideration. I have updated your Telerik points because of your valuable feedback.

If you have any other questions or suggestions do not hesitate to contact us again.

I had the same issue as this and it's not fixed in the 2013 Q3 release.

After looking at the source a quick way to ensure your first image is shown regardless of the UpdateInterval you can use the following:

public class FixedRadPictureRotatorHubTile : RadPictureRotatorHubTile
{
    public FixedRadPictureRotatorHubTile()
    {
        Loaded += OnLoaded;
    }

    void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        base.LoadCore();
    }
}
