Adding Pre-designed Tiles / Documents
posted

I've been experimenting with the tiles control and have worked out exactly how I want my application to work.

There will be a few tiles and a document area like in visual studio.

I've defined the individual tiles in the  xaml for the wpf window.

The only thing I don't understand is how to design a document form (independantly of the window) so I can use it repeatedly in the document area, by adding programatically, whenever a new customer record is opened by the user. (each document in the document area would be for a different customer, consisting of a tabcontrol with some text boxes and a datagrid).

Please can you explain this for me?

    Hi Anthony,

    I'm not 100% sure what you are asking here and how it relates to tiles control. It sounds like you could create a UserControl for documents in your 'document area'. That area would be outside the XamTilesControl if I understand your scenario.

    If you wanted to leverage the features of the XamTilesControl however you could allow the user to maximize more than one tile by setting its MaximizedTileLimit property. Then you could specify a different data template for maximized tiles thru its ItemTemplateMaxmized property. This template could contain the tabcontrol and datagrid you mentioned. Then everything would be handled within the tiles control.
