RadCarouselPanel with UserControl items

[newbie]

Hi!

I am attempting to get a Carousel control to work for me but I have been running into some problems.

First off, I started by using a RadCarousel control to display some data about a person. I set the template for the control and bound it to a list of Person objects. Everything worked well until I tried to change the Path/Trajectory of the careousel. I discovered that you cannot change it.

So, I switched to the RadCarouselPanel but I have been running into problems with it.
I have a custom UserControl that displays the person's information but when I add these items the RadCarouselPanel does not rotate the items; however, if I put Image controls in the RadCarouselPanel, it will rotate (up to the point where a user control is next in the list).

The user control is just a grid with an image in the first row, followed by the person's first name and last name in the second row. It's extremely simple.

I have read that people have had problems adding buttons to the RadCarouselPanel because they capture the mouse click event...however my user control does not. It's just....a grid with some stuff in it.

This is my Code-Behind for my window:
(VB.NET)


Public Class MainWindowAttempt2

    Public Sub New()
        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub
    Protected Overloads Overrides Sub OnInitialized(ByVal e As EventArgs)
        MyBase.OnInitialized(e)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Loaded
        Dim p As New People
        person1.ThePerson = p.People(0)
        person2.ThePerson = p.People(1)
        person3.ThePerson = p.People(2)
        person4.ThePerson = p.People(3)
        person5.ThePerson = p.People(4)
        person6.ThePerson = p.People(5)
        person7.ThePerson = p.People(6)
        person8.ThePerson = p.People(7)
    End Sub

End Class

This is what I have in my Window:

Hello newbie,

When working with data it is best to use RadCarousel instead of RadCarouselPanel. To change the path of a RadCarousel you can try the following approach:

<Window x:Class="CarouselHorizontalPath.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
    Title="Window1" Height="750" Width="700">
    <Window.Resources>
        <Path
          x:Key="horizontalPath"
          Stretch="Fill"
          Opacity="1"
          Data="M 9,200 C9,200 450,200 450,200 "
          Stroke="#FFB4B4B4"
          StrokeThickness="1"/>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadCarousel Name="RadCarousel1" Loaded="RadCarousel1_Loaded">
            <telerik:RadCarousel.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadCarouselPanel Path="{StaticResource horizontalPath}"/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </telerik:RadCarousel.ItemsPanel>
        </telerik:RadCarousel>
    </Grid>
</Window>
