Visualization for MediaElement

[kalyan]

Hi Telerik,

I have a small query. Can we show visualization while playing the Audio files  as we do in Window Media player ? Please try to resolve this query.

Thanks

Hello kalyan,

Thank you for your feedback.
Right now this is not supported but is an interesting feature. I've added it to the feature list and if there is demand for it we will surely add it.

Hello kalyan,

You cannot control the MediaElement in silverlight. So in order to achieve this you should create class like WPF WriteableBitmap and manually update it to create some kind of visualization.
Also you should modify the control template to hide the media element and add some Image control that will show you dynamically updated visualization.

I'm not aware of the performance of this approach. I'm not sure if this is achievable.
You could read more about WriteableBitmap for Silverlight (custom implementation) here:
