[Solved] Templating question

[Jamie]

I'm evaluating the RadTreeView for Silverlight 2.0 control - what I would like to be able to do is override the placement of all elements in the treeview, but still maintain the hierarchical relationship (for collapse/expand/tree-walking/etc).  So far I can place the top-level nodes, but the children layout relative to their parents rather than honoring the canvas positions I give them.

I have a graphing control the does all of the layout, but I'd like to port my application to Silverlight to expand my customer-base.  Any guidance on whether this is possible would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Hello Jamie,

Basically you can modify the control template of the TreeView and the ItemsPanel that is used for each item. This will give you full control over the layout. Are you trying to layout the items entirely in XAML, or are you have a custom logic attached to the TreeView that do this programmatically? We will need some more details in order to help you with the implementation. A sample project and some screenshots of what you are trying to achieve will be of great help.

Thanks!
