TileViewItem does not goto state "MouseOver"

[Matthias]

Hi,

I created a new ControlTemplate for RadTileViewItem which triggers some Buttons to be visible on MouseOver.

It seems as if the RadTileViewItem does not goto the state MouseOver, because my buttons stay invisible when I move the mouse on my RadTileViewItem.

To test the Controltemplate, i subclassed RadTileViewItem and added

protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
       {
           base.OnMouseMove(e);
           VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "MouseOver", false);
       }

With this modification, my buttons are shown when mouse is over the RadTileViewItem.

The default template does not define anything for VisualState MouseOver.

Is this a known problem or do I miss something?

Best Regards,
Matthias

Hello Matthias,
The RadTileView doesn't have a default behavior on mouse over and that's why nothing happens in the MouseOver visual state. In you case you'll have to create your own TileViewItem, override the OnMouseEnter and OnMouseLeave methods and put the visual state calls there. 
For further references could you please examine the attached project and if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Ah, okay.

I just wondered why there is a state which is never even triggered.
Maybe it would be better to remove it completely to prevent confusion ;)

Hi Matthias,
Thank you for the suggestion. We'll discuss it and decide what to do with those visual states.
