Hi Enrai,

I am using your control in my application, I really like your control.

One enhancement I wanna make is: instead of a selection frame, I wanna load another image on selection (so when an image is selected, a different image is displayed and when another image is clicked, the previous selection goes back to normal and another image is displayed on currently selected image). How do i do so?

This means to say that I have two set of images, one for non-selection and one set of images for selection.

Thanks.

I would also like to know how to reposition the right and left buttons. I tried using "Canvas.SetLeft" and "Canvas.SetTop" for the buttons in the ImageScroll() constructor, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Otherwise, I really like this scroller!

Why doesn't Microsoft announce that they are NOT supporting Visual Basic anymore. Seems like every sample and any code written with Silverlight is in C# and us VB programmers have to beg to get the code also written in VB.
I think there is still a hugh percentage of coders using VB, and we should not be slighted like this by anyone.
Hope you consider adding VB support to your blog.

Hi!

What can I do if I want to move more than one image with one click (moving 5 images at the time)?

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

UptownGirl — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:54:28 GMT

Is there a way to get the arrow buttons to be on top of the images instead of on the ends of an image? I've modified it for a larger rectangular image but I want the buttons to float above the image not on the side creating that white space gap. Any help is appreciated Thanks.

Hi,

I have to do one task about image slider which matches with your current example.

But one small change that I have a collection of the Images and i want to directly bind the collection to the Image Rotator.

Because many times it happens that i am going to add new images into Image Collection or remove images from collection.

I am using observable collection, because of that no need to explicitely add the images into Image Rotator.

Can you please suggest me a workaround about same?

Or If you have some sample solution which same example which willl work with direclty collection.

Thanks in Advance.

The transitions for this control utilizes the X coordinate. If you want to move vertical then the animation needs to animate the Y coordinate for the translate transform. That should get on the right track for making it vertical.

I want vertical slider not horizontal. how can I quickly do that?

Can someone please tell me how to size the image? I cannot figure out how to set the size of each image. I have played with this projkect and can size everything else but each image. when I play with all width properties say like image width it just changes the blue box, but not the image. Any ideas?

How would i extend this to allow me to drag and drop the images somewhere? i don't want to remove them from the collection/slider, just drag it on to say another image control, then that control displays the same image?

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

Tibo — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:49:48 GMT

Great control, but how do you change remove images programmaticaly? I want to use only one component to display multiple albums.

Dilip, here are your answers:

You need to do what aquaseal did a few posts ago. You shold replace the ActionButton with RepeatButton and instead of hooking on Click hook on MouseEnter.

About the zooming images that's possible too. When we initially started working on this Image Slider Silverlight was in Alpha version (as you may see from the URL of this article 1.1). Now in Beta 2 there is a ContentControl that can contain any kind of control. We posted an article about customizing such control so that you can apply the same animation to whatever object you put inside this control. You may include the CustomContentControl from this article and replace the Image in AnimationButton.xaml with CustomContentControl. You also should make a few slight modifications to set ContentContol.Content instead of Image.Source. I tried that and it works except there is some of those unknown errors (4001) and I'm not sure why is that. It works on IE if you ignore the errors but crashes FF. We may investigate if we have time but now we are working on new slider that takes advantage of the new features of Beta 2 and you will see just what you want there.

Here is the article from where you can get zooming control, just modify the xaml:

Hi,

I need revolving objects (images) automatically without user clicking the arrows at either end. Automatically the image should resolve and when we point the mouse it should zoom. Does anybody has any pointers how to accomplish this? Btw, I'm newbie to Silverlight

Thanks in advance.

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

Enrai — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:05:07 GMT

Yes, it's possible. In the AnimationImage.xaml file in the Canvas control named "container" put a button for example and align it properly with the image (that depends on the width and the height of the image). Than create an EventHandler for the button click event. In this handler you should raise an event to be handled in the ImageScroll. There you can remove the selected image from the collections. Note that this version of the ImageSlider was meant to be read-only, but now we're working on adding functionality and making the control easily extendable.

vik — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:14:48 GMT

Very useful control.Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to put a selection/deselection sign (like a red cross) on the top of the image to remove it from the collection. The way it has been implemented in Fluxify :

Thanks!

aquaseal — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:41:15 GMT

Great control! I modified the control a little bit and added repeatbuttons instead of images on the scrolling for faster scrolling through a large collection. Here is my sample app:

Thanks again!

denny,

Thanks for your comments. The "general slider" you are talking about is a very good idea. The time when this image slider control was released Silverlight was still in its Alpha state and it was hard to talk about templating, etc. But now it is pretty common to talk about more general slider control. I think it does worth to build such - we are going to think about that idea.

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

denny — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 10:48:07 GMT

By the way, what I am hoping to do is:

have a general "Slider" that can go up/down or left/right and to make the control work with a nt just images, slide buttons, images, usercontrols, etc...

and make the size of the control a property, width,height etc...

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

denny — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 10:43:28 GMT

Ah.... My bad , Hiding the base property!

might be worth adding a comment to say that's why it's built that way.

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

denny — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:05:09 GMT

also you have a private pair of properties with the same odd new double

for width and hight ... again, is this an error or some new form of property syntax ??

RE: Image slider control in Silverlight 2

Denny — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 08:58:29 GMT

I think I see a bug / typo in the code, I have not run it as I am trying to use the code to learn from.

in SliderControl.xaml.cs line 51 I see

public new Brush Background { ... }

as this is a property Get / Set I guess the "new" is an error.

Ola, the control is already ported to beta 2. Go ahead and use it ;)
