Grouping
The tiles are not just stacked in RadPanorama - you have the ability to divide them into logical groups. The tiles are not just stacked in RadPanorama; you can divide them into logical groups. RadPanorama provides convenient grouping functionality, which can be set up at design-time or programmatically.
-
Drag and drop reorder
The end-user is allowed to reorder the tiles according to his/her preferences with a single gesture. An outline of the dragged tile is displayed to the user to indicate that a drag and drop operation is currently occurring. In addition, the remaining tiles are moved out of the way according to the finger position to indicate the possible drop target.
-
Touch scrolling
The touch scrolling support enables your end-users to smoothly scroll the displayed tiles left or right. You do not need to look for a scroll bar as the pan operation can occur directly on the tiles:
-
Touch Zoom in/Zoom out
This multi-touch feature allows you to see all tiles at once by pinching (zooming out) the initial view. It comes in handy when you want to get an overview of the existing tiles and if you are looking for a particular tile in a long list of tiles. The latter case has been considered when the zoom-in feature was developed.
-
Live Tiles
RadPanorama supports ‘live’ tiles. These tiles can rotate images and texts which is appropriate when you want to catch the attention of the user or when you want to display up-to-date information to the users.
You can handle the click events of the tiles to run any application you need. You can also make these applications touch-enabled for fully immersive touch experience, but with Windows Forms.
