Layout of childrens

[ppti]

The task is to change the layout of elements in the component (like iGoogle dashboard).
To do that, you need to override the TileViewPanel methods. 
The field of that type is not available in the TileView instance, but can be found in the visual tree.

Is there and option of substituting the TileViewPanel instance in the TileView visual tree for a custom class:

class MyTileViewPanel: TileViewPanel
{
// my methods
}

Hello Ppti,
You can change the default panel of the RadTileView by inheriting the TileViewPanel (as you've suggested)

public class MyPanel : TileViewPanel
{
}

and then change the RadTileView ItemsPanel in its style

<Style TargetType="telerik:RadTileView">
     ...
    <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                <local:MyPanel />
            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
    <Setter Property="Template">
     ...
    </Setter>
</Style>

But I advice you not to do this if it's not really necessary.
Could you please explain us exactly what you want your TileView to look like and we'll see if it's achievable without overriding the panel?

mainly for creating an interface like in iGoogle (Dashboard)

• movable panels
• the option of collapsing and restoring panels
• saving panels' layout

However, in TileView an element is either restored into a single cell or maximized.

It seems that RadDocking is the most suitable for our task. Unfortunately, RadDocking doesn't allow to make RadDocking nestings into RadDocking.
