One TileViewItem always maximised

[jwhitley]

First off, congratulations on a great set of controls.

I'm using the TileView for a settings page, and I don't want users to be able to minimise all the tiles - ie. I always want one of the items to be maximised. I was able to do this from the TileStateChanged event handler with the following code on each TileViewItem:

private void RadTileViewItem_TileStateChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTileViewItem it = (Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTileViewItem)e.OriginalSource;

            if (it.TileState == Telerik.Windows.Controls.TileViewItemState.Restored)
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

This seems to work great, although it flips the minimised / maximised icon at the top right of the maximised window, which can look a little strange, although quite acceptable.

Is there a more elegant way of achieving the same?

Thanks.

Hello jwhitley,

Yes, there is a more elegant approach - you have only to set the MaximizeMode of the RadTileView to One. You can read more about this here.

Why do you guys always have to go and spoil things when I think I'm being smart! Just kidding, thanks for the answer - I should have already found it.

Cheers
