Description

There are many tiles in a DashboardLayout control. We can set the properties of a tile with different values to show different tile.

A tile is composed of several areas: Header, Content and Toolbar. All these areas could be customized.

In DashboardLayout control, the OnClientFormatTile event is provided. In this event handler, the related Dom elements or objects can be obtained and you can do customization with them as you want.

In this sample, we use the event to customize the header title, the content and add the toolbar items. You can refer to the OnClientFormatTile event documentation for detail.
