Multi selection

[Jeroen]

Dear all,

We would like to use the TileView as an alternative to a Grid View. When doing so, we also want the option of selecting multiple tiles, and than perform an action on these selected tiles. For instance use a context menu for this.

Is there any built-in support to select multiple tiles or are you planning on doing this in the near future? Would save me a lot of trouble!

Regards
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
From the 2011.1.0315 the RadTileView have a build-in selection - you should read this blog post and examine the attached project.
If you have further questions feel free to ask.

You guys (and girls) rule!!!!!!!!!
Thanx! Works like a charm, so far.

Is there an easy way to change the behaviour of the selection mode "single". As it is now the selected state toggles; what I want is to the selected state to hold if I click one or more times on a tile.

As a temporary workaround I used the following code:

 

Private Sub RadTileView_PreviewTileSelectionChanged(sender As System.Object, e As Telerik.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangedEventArgs)

    If e.RemovedItems.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub

    Dim _tileview As RadTileView = sender
    Dim _cur_tile As RadTileViewItem = _tileview.SelectedItem
    Dim _rem_tile As RadTileViewItem = e.RemovedItems.Item(0)

    If _rem_tile.Header = _cur_tile.Header Then e.Handled = True

End Sub

Is there an easier way? Maybe there should be a selection mode called SingleNoToggle?

Hello Jorn,
To handle the PreviewTileSelectionChanged is the right way to achieve your desired functionality. I added feature request under the name "TileView: Add SingleNoToggle selection mode" in our PITS and it will be available for tracking and voting tomorrow the latest.
If you have more questions feel free to ask.
