Hi all,

I have a TagCloud which number of its items are increasing every day based on an algorithm.
I would like to set a fixed width and a dynamic height for this TagCloud which should be increased automatically based on the number of existing items.
How can I do this?

Cheers,
Hamed

Hi Hamed,

TagCloud by default fits the width of the containing element. This will happen if you use the following code:

<telerik:RadTagCloud ID="RadTagCloud1" runat="server" RenderItemWeight="true"
        Enabled="true">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="ASP.NET" Weight="12" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="AJAX" Weight="134" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="VB" Weight="56" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="C#" Weight="38" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Web" Weight="73" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="jQuery" Weight="23" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text=".NET" Weight="78" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Code" Weight="50" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="UI" Weight="80" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Unit" Weight="20" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Class" Weight="50" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadTagCloud>

However, if you like to have TagCloud with a fixed width, you could use the Width property of the control (changes are marked in yellow):

<telerik:RadTagCloud ID="RadTagCloud1" runat="server" RenderItemWeight="true"
        Enabled="true" Width="250px">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="ASP.NET" Weight="12" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="AJAX" Weight="134" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="VB" Weight="56" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="C#" Weight="38" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Web" Weight="73" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="jQuery" Weight="23" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text=".NET" Weight="78" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Code" Weight="50" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="UI" Weight="80" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Unit" Weight="20" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Class" Weight="50" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadTagCloud>

In that case, if you have increasing number of tags, the TagCloud height will also increase. If you want to have TagCloud with fixed width, and fixed height with scroll, you should make a small change in the CSS, and to put it in the head section of the document - changes are marked in yellow:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
    .RadTagCloud
    {
        overflow: auto !important;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManager>
    <telerik:RadTagCloud ID="RadTagCloud1" runat="server" RenderItemWeight="true"
        Enabled="true" Width="250px" Height="50px">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="ASP.NET" Weight="12" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="AJAX" Weight="134" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="VB" Weight="56" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="C#" Weight="38" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Web" Weight="73" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="jQuery" Weight="23" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text=".NET" Weight="78" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Code" Weight="50" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="UI" Weight="80" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Unit" Weight="20" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="Class" Weight="50" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadTagCloud>
    </form>
</body>
</html>


Bellow is a sample page code with all three situations:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <style type="text/css">
    .RadTagCloud
    {
        overflow: auto !important;
    }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </asp:ScriptManager>
    <telerik:RadTagCloud ID="RadTagCloud1" runat="server" RenderItemWeight="true"
        Enabled="true">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="ASP.NET" Weight="12" />
            <telerik:RadTagCloudItem Text="AJAX" Weight="134" />
