This walkthrough shows you how to create wrapping layout using WrapPanel for wrapping the Image control.

In this walkthrough, you perform the following tasks:

• Create a new ClientUI Application project using Intersoft ClientUI Application project template.
• Create wrapping layout using WrapPanel.

Prerequisites

You need the following components to complete this walkthrough:

• Visual Studio 2010
• Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010
• Intersoft ClientUI

Creating a new ClientUI Application Project

The first step is to create a new ClientUI Application project using Intersoft ClientUI Application project template in Visual Studio.

To create the ClientUI Application project

1. Start Visual Studio 2010.
2. Create a new ClientUI Application project using Intersoft ClientUI Application project template. To learn more, see Walkthrough: Create New Intersoft ClientUI Application Template.

To add the resources file

1. In your project, create new folder with name Images.
2. In Images folder, copy the images from [Intersoft Installation Folder]\Intersoft WebUI Studio 2010 R1\Samples\SL4\ClientUI Samples\Intersoft.ClientUI.Samples.Assets\Images\Hotels\

Creating Simple Application Using WrapPanel

This section shows you how to create layout using WrapPanel.

1. First change the d:DesignWidth property to 800 and the d:DesignHeight property to 600 in UXPage.
2. Add UXWindow control to the LayoutRoot and set the following properties to the control.
   

   CanMinimize	False
   CanMaximize	False
   CanClose	False
   CanResize	True
   HeaderDisplayMode	Content
   IsClientVisible	True
   IsActive	True
   Header	Hotels
   Width	700
   Height	400

3. Add UXScrollViewer control to the UXWindow.
4. Add WrapPanel layout to the UXScrollViewer control.
   

   XAML	Copy Code
   <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"> <Intersoft:UXWindow CanMinimize="False" CanMaximize="False" CanClose="False" CanResize="True" HeaderDisplayMode="Content" IsClientVisible="True" IsActive="True" Header="Hotels" Width="700" Height="400"> <Intersoft:UXScrollViewer> <Intersoft:WrapPanel> </Intersoft:WrapPanel> </Intersoft:UXScrollViewer> </Intersoft:UXWindow></Grid>

5. Set Background for WrapPanel using LinearGradientBrush.
6. Add GradientStop to the LinearGradientBrush and set the Color property to AliceBlue and the Offset property to 1.
7. Add more GradientStop to the LinearGradientBrush and repeat step 6.
   

   XAML	Copy Code
   <Intersoft:WrapPanel> <Intersoft:WrapPanel.Background> <LinearGradientBrush> <GradientStop Color="AliceBlue" Offset="0" /> <GradientStop Color="Black" Offset="1" /> </LinearGradientBrush> </Intersoft:WrapPanel.Background></Intersoft:WrapPanel>

   
   
8. Add Border to the WrapPanel and set the Margin property to 10 10 0 0, the BorderBrush property to Black and the BorderThickness property to 1.
9. Add DropShadowEffect to the Border.
10. Add Image control to the Border and set the Source property to /CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/altira-macau.jpg, the Height property to 150 and the ToolTipService.ToolTip property to Altira macau.
    

    XAML	Copy Code
    <Border Margin="10 10 0 0" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/altira-macau.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Altira macau" /></Border>

    
    
11. Add more Border and Image control to the WrapPanel and repeat step 8-10.
    

    XAML

    Copy Code

    <Intersoft:WrapPanel> <Intersoft:WrapPanel.Background> ... </Intersoft:WrapPanel.Background> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/altira-macau.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Altira macau" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/amanjiwo-resort.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Amanjiwo resort" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/burj-al-arab.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Burj al arab" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/emirates-palace.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Emirates palace" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/grand-hotel-europe.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Grand hotel Europe" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/le-meurice.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Le meurice" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/mardan-place.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Mardan place" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/palazzo-versace.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Palazzo versace" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/st-regis.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="St regis" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/swissotel-berlin.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Swiss hotel berlin" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/thornbury-castle-hotel.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Thornbury castle hotel" /> </Border> <Border Margin="10 10 0 0"> <Border.Effect> <DropShadowEffect /> </Border.Effect> <Image Source="/CreateWrappingLayoutUsingWrapPanel;component/Images/town-house-galleria.jpg" Height="150" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Town house galleria" /> </Border> </Intersoft:WrapPanel>

    
    
12. Finally, save and run the project.

After the application is running in the browser, you can try to resize the window you will see the content will follow the size of the window, such as shown in the following figure.
