Example

Example 1 demonstrates how a the HubTileService.GroupTag can be utilized to freeze hub tiles.

Example 1: Using the HubTileService.GroupTag

XAML

<Grid xmlns:telerik="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives">
	<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
		<ColumnDefinition />
		<ColumnDefinition />
	</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
	
	<telerik:RadSlideHubTile UpdateInterval="0:0:1" VerticalAlignment="Top" telerik:HubTileService.GroupTag="firstGroup"  >
		<telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
			<TextBlock Text="firstTopContent"/>
		</telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
		<telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
			<TextBlock Text="firstBottomContent"/>
		</telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
	</telerik:RadSlideHubTile>
	<telerik:RadSlideHubTile UpdateInterval="0:0:1" x:Name="secondHubTile" telerik:HubTileService.GroupTag="secondGroup">
		<telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
			<TextBlock Text="secondTopContent"/>
		</telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
		<telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
			<TextBlock Text="secondBottomContent"/>
		</telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
	</telerik:RadSlideHubTile>
	<telerik:RadSlideHubTile UpdateInterval="0:0:1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" telerik:HubTileService.GroupTag="firstGroup">
		<telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
			<TextBlock Text="thirdTopContent"/>
		</telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
		<telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
			<TextBlock Text="thirdBottomContent"/>
		</telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
	</telerik:RadSlideHubTile>
	<StackPanel Grid.Column="1">
		<Button Content="Freeze first group" Click="Button_Click" />
		<Button Content="Freeze second group" Click="Button1_Click" />
	</StackPanel>
</Grid>

Example 2 demonstrates how to use the FreezeGroup method of the HubTileService in the Click events of the buttons.

Example 2: Using the HubTileService methods

C#

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
{
	public MainPage()
	{
		this.InitializeComponent();
	}

	private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
	{
		HubTileService.FreezeGroup("firstGroup");
	}

	private void Button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
	{
		var groupTag = HubTileService.GetGroupTag(secondHubTile);
		HubTileService.FreezeGroup(groupTag);
	}
}
