RadDataPager custom template

[boris]

Hello,

I need to  change the look of RadDataPager, instead of buttons my pager needs to have slider  :S

Can I somehow create custom template with a slider control that would be used for navigating pages?

[Pavel Pavlov]

Hello boris,

Please use the following xaml as starting point.

<ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:RadDataPager" x:Name="MySliderPagerTemplate" >
                <controls:RadSlider Value="{Binding PageIndex,  RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},Mode=TwoWay}" IsSnapToTickEnabled="True" Minimum="1" Maximum="{Binding PageCount,  RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},Mode=TwoWay}" TickFrequency="1" Width="100"/>
            </ControlTemplate>

In case you have troubles implementig this , just let me know.

Hello Pavel,

Thank you for your reply, it has been very helpful. 

I have just one problem with this- when I use the "<" and ">" buttons on the side of the slider, value property doesn't update :(

Hello boris,

Please paste me your solution and I will try to link the buttons to the proper datapager commands.

Kind regards,

Hi Pavel, sorry for a late response :(

My mistake, I had some bugs, but that is sorted. The thing is I was trying to use slider in my custom pager control (I am also implementing some server side paging..) 

Today, I will try to implement telerik data pager using the template as you described, and I'll let you know how it goes.

thanks again :)

Hi Pavel,

I am having some trouble with pager control, I have created a demo application to demonstrate it.

ticket ID is : 303857

I am trying to bind a pager to "Items" property of the grid controls as described here:

 http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radgridview-paging-using-telerik-raddatapager.html. 

Some of the stuff that is specific to my example:

- I have to add pager dynamically, so the binding is set dynamically as well, 

- I am using customTemplate for my pager that has slider and stuff.

The problem is when the pager is added, it is not bound to the Items propery at all.....

Hello boris,

It appears that you cannot have an element name binding before the element is added to the visual tree. It seems that the framework does not update the binding when you add the element later. So you need to bind them directly like this:

CustomPager pager = new CustomPager();
            pager.PageSize = 3;
            pager.Source = radGridView1.Items;
            LayoutRoot.Children.Add(pager);

I hope this helps.
