Tile Ordering
posted

I like the xamTileManager pretty well, especially in the configuration where tiles can slide around and be arranged in a user-defined ordering sequence (using properties as follows):

AllowTileDragging="Slide"

TileLayoutOrder="Vertical"

 

However, unlike with a different TileLayoutOrder (UseExplicitRowColumnOnTile) I am unable to retrieve the logical ordering sequence after the fact.

 

I see that this may be an open request (product idea or whatever): http://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/80598.aspx

Is there any progress on this yet?

 

Are there any workarounds you can help me with?  I was hopeful for UseExplicitRowColumnOnTile (uses attached properties for row and column), but that only appears to support swapping of tiles and does *not* support sliding.  The other workarounds that I've considered are probably not supported (eg. trying to navigate the visual tree, or else using Reflection to get at the non-public LayoutManager and then the LogicalIndex values of its underlying ItemTileInfo - see attached).    Ideally there is a better option than these - something that is fully supported. 

 

It seems unfortunate that the logical ordering of tiles is not information that has been made public.  It seems that this would be a typical requirement. Please let me know about any possible workarounds.  Any ideas would be welcome.

    Hello,

    After looking into this and doing some research, "Tile position" has still been determined to be a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at http://ideas.infragistics.com.

    There are many benefits to submitting an product idea:

    -          Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.

    -          Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.

    -          Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you.  You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.

    -          Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.

    -          You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.

    Steps to create your idea:               

    1. Log into the Infragistics Product Idea site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
    2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
    3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
    4. “Include a link to this thread" in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case. 

    The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.

    Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
