Move radcoverflow to specific image (value) base on SelectedItem?

[Salvador]

I have a radcoverflow control wich is binding a collection items. (I named PhotoInfo to each item in the collection for explanation purpose)
It looks and works fine, but I want to do this: After the collection is loaded by the control I want to set PhotoInfo object value to the control and that control show (move) to this value.  Is possible? 

Thank you for your help.

Hi Salvador,

 You could use the SelectedItem property of the CoverFlow control if you need to provide a reference to the object to be selected, or the SelectedIndex property if you prefer to select the item by index.

Thank you,

I using the selecteditem property to set the object that i want to select (move) in the collection, but does no work.  the selected index works but I don´t know which index correspond in the collection with my object, 

I using the "Data Info" example from your web site, and I just add a Button to create an object ans set into SelecteItem.

        private void btnSetValue_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            ImageInfo imgInfo = new ImageInfo();

            imgInfo.Image = "http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4514341292_e12f178ec5_o.jpg";

            imgInfo.Link = "http://www.flickr.com/people/snikfeed/";

            imgInfo.Title = "snik feed Index=10";

            coverFlow.SelectedItem = imgInfo;

            //coverFlow.SelectedIndex = 6; //This works

        }

Thank you.

Hello Salvador,

I think that if you override the Equals() method of the ImageInfo class, the CoverFlow will be able to properly select the provided item. The problem is that generally the class instances are compared by reference and when you create a new instance (new ImageInfo()...) it has different reference than the items inside the CoverFlow. If you override the Equals() method to compare the members of the ImageInfo class, the instances will be compared differently and the selection will work.
