I'm trying to create a tile user control.

I need to be able to have tiles have three different sizes with drag/drop support.  Preferably something like a two column format.
Size 1 = single column.  Size 2 = column span.  Size 3 = column span and double height.

This is very similar to the TileList, but I cannot get the TileList to work though because I cannot change the width/height of the tiles enough.  I need the small tile size to be as big as the quadruples are showing up and I need the quadruples to take up half the screen.  I wish their was a way that you could set the default width/height for each tile type. I would also greatly prefer it if I could scroll vertically instead of horizontally.

I have also tried to use the TileView, but it doesn't handle the dynamic re-sizing of tiles well.  Namely in that I would want a tile to span multiple columns.  And to have an easy way of increasing the height of a single tile/row and not the rest (to achieve the third size).

Dock doesn't work for our use case.  There will probably be too many tiles to reasonably dock anything.


Am I missing anything for any of these controls where I could modify any of them to work for my use case?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hello,

RadTileList exposes the TilePlaceHolderSide property. You may use this in order to control the side length of a single square tile. Doubles and Quadrupules will respect this property as well and adjust proportionally.
