Visual Feedback when Item selected

[George]

I'm using the ItemTap Event and would like the user to see some visual feedback when a user selects an item in a Jump List.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

TIA,
George

Hi George,

Thanks for contacting us and for your question.

The default style of the RadListPicker control defines visual states that are applied when an item is selected and therefore you should see a visual indication in this case. You can also modify this behavior by editing the default style in Microsoft Expression Blend.

Could you please share some further details on your scenario and why would you like to use the ItemTap event to change the visual state of an item in particular?

Thanks for your time.

If you use the TiltEffect that's available in the silverlight toolkit you can add the effect to the RadJumplist using the following code

TiltEffect.TiltableItems.Add(typeof(Telerik.Windows.Control.RadDataBoundListBoxItem));

Just a follow up to this.

Wiith normal listboxes the interaction manager adds effects automatically.
So calling

this.SetValue(InteractionEffectManager.IsInteractionEnabledProperty, true);

applies the effect to listbox items (and alos other items like buttons).
But this doesn't work for JumpListItems.

Any reasons for this - and is there a way to make it work?

Hello,

You can easily apply a tilt effect to the JumpList items by setting the InteractionEffectManager.IsInteractionEnabled attached property to true on the RadJumpList instance and making sure tha the RadDataBoundListBoxItem is in the InteractionEffectManager.AllowedTypes collection.

I hope this helps.

Hello Deyan,

I really thought the AllowedTypes is a readonly collection :)
I'll give it a try (I guess this weekend I'll find time) and let you know if it works.

The idea about read only came from the circumstance that I got a support response telling me XXXX is not in AllowedTypes :)

Thank you for the fast answer

Hi Manniat,

The AllowedTypes is not readonly, as well as the ExcludedTypes collections. These collections give you more flexibility to enable the tilt effect for a container of items and decide which items will actually tilt and which will not.

We will very soon upload new help topics regarding these classes.

All the best,

Hi Deyan,

I understand this now - I just thought so because of this answer:
>>Button is needed now, because we can't enable the tilt effect on a particular element -
>> only on a particular type.
>> This will be changed with the beta2 release next week and you will not need the button.

Anyhow - now I checked the things - and I almost sure it will work.
 
Thank you again
