How to add use Toggle Button for TilePane Header
posted

Using VB.NET, I want to use a Toggle Button control in place of the standard TilePane Header button. This would allow my users to easily transition between tile panes without having to use the indistinguishable header button.

I reviewed the included 9.2 XAML Samples on this but I couldn't figure out how to translate/implement it to VB.NET/C# code. I cannot use the XAML-only approach since this code is maintained by developers that don't have strong web development/Silverlight skills.

If possible, can someone provide a clear example on how to do this using VB.NET/C# code.

Thanks in advance.

Don

    Hi Don,
    The XAML is better approach but this sample will work:
    private void tv3_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      foreach (TilePane tile in tv3.Items)
      {
        ToggleButton toggleButton = tile.Header as ToggleButton;
        if (toggleButton != null)
        {
          if (toggleButton.Tag != "ready")
          {
            FrameworkElement parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(toggleButton) as FrameworkElement;
            if (parent != null)
            {
              Grid.SetColumnSpan(parent, 2);
              Canvas.SetZIndex(parent, 100);
              toggleButton.Tag =     "ready";
            }
          }
        }
        else
        {
          toggleButton =     new ToggleButton();
          toggleButton.Content = tile.Header;
          tile.Header = toggleButton;
          TilePaneCommandSource commandSource = new TilePaneCommandSource();
          commandSource.EventName =     "Click";
          commandSource.CommandType =     TilePaneCommand.Maximize;
          commandSource.Parameter =     "Toggle";
          Commanding.SetCommand(toggleButton, commandSource);
        }
      }
    }
    Regards,
    Marin
