Silverlight ItemViewer

Hi mrLIS,

Yes there is a problem with the scrollbars on the ItemViewer, which is being fixed in the next version of the library. Thanks!

Hi. TreeView and ItemViewer. In ItemViewer when creating a large number of Items is not a scroll. In the tree if you open it using a scroll ExpandAll just does not appear. Is there a solution to these problems?

Hi Dan,

I get following error running your sample:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'Liquid.ItemViewerItem' to 'Liquid.FileItem'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

In Page.xaml.cs

FileItem selected = myList.Selected;

myList.Selected;


private void Items_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FileItem selected = myList.Selected;

// Process your double-click action here
}

Thank you,
Rune

Hi Dan,

Got the latest version 5.1.7 and trying to use the new IconSource property but keep getting an exception in Liquid.ItemViewerItem.UpdateIcon(). I tried reverting back to using an icon from a file as before but still get the same exception. Below is the code I am using:

fileManagementItems.Clear();
fileManagementItems.Add(from m in _imageList
                                select new ItemViewerItem
                                {
                                        ID = m.ImageID,
                                        Icon = "images/jpg.png",
                                        Text = m.Name,
                                        OtherText = Utils.BytesToString((double)m.FileSize)
                                });

I noticed that in your example that you still use a FileItem and add that to List<ItemViewerItem> however, there doesn’t seem to a method to add a IEnumerable<FileItem> into the ItemViewer directly. So am I doing something wrong or is it a small bug?

Regards,

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

There wasn't any plan for this but it's a good suggestion and one which I'm sure we can get implemented in the next version, not just for the item viewer but other controls too. Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Any plans to allow the FileItem icon to set using a bitmap in; for example:

                BitmapImage b = new BitmapImage();
                b.SetSource = ( IsolatedStorageFile.OpenFile("MylocalFile.jpg", System.IO.FileMode.Open) );
                FileItem.IconSource = b;

This would allow the use of images from local storage and/or from embedded resources

Thanks

Oliver

Hi fiannolo,

Have you tried the Explorer Demo which uses the ItemViewer control? Alternatively, could you email the project and we can take a look at it for you?

Hi, great post.
I try to run it with the final version of silverlight 2.0 and does not work. Can you help me to run it?

Hi,

Thanks for the post, I will check this error out more and let you know what I find out. Thanks!

Hello .. If ItemViewer arrange for TabControl when filling ItemViewer error:
