Creating a Carousel with the PathListBoxUtils Sample

  • Artikel

While the PathListBox control provides an easy way to lay out items along a path, creating a carousel control that appears 3 dimensional and has smooth scrolling requires additional functionality that we did not have time to do in Expression Blend 4. I’ve created the PathListBoxUtils sample available on CodePlex to provide the tools that make creating a carousel like the one shown below very easy:

Visit the Carousel tutorial to see how to create this example, and you can view all PathListBoxUtils-related tutorials here on .toolbox.

Happy scrolling!

    Make sure you are using the RTM version of Blend 4. You will get an error for IsArranged if you are using the Beta or an earlier version.

    Hi Nick, Thanks for posting this to the blog. I hadn't turned on my comment notification on CodePlex so I wasn't seeing the comments. I believe  have fixed the issue and posted a new release. Let me know if that doesn't work for you. Joanna

    Thanks so much for your quick response Joanna. I tried the new release and it seems to be working fine for me now. I'm sure this will make a lot of people happy. It's such a cool control and it was a shame it wasn't working before. Everythings good now! Nick

    This tutorial is still great thanks, mainly because it did work and it was explained very carefully with just a couple of grey areas for the inexperienced with pathlistbox.

    Hi I created a carousel of six jpeg images rotating around a closed elipse. I did not shrink the rear images and found that sometimes the "Z" order became confused with the rear images appearing on top of the front images. Is there anyway around this other than shrinking the rear images. Regards Tom Other than this small problem the tutorials are great.
