Changing the Angle of Coverflow Side Items

You can change the angle of the items that lie on each side of the C1CoverFlow control’s selected item by setting the ItemAngle property to a numeric value (for more information, see the Item Angle topic). In this topic, you will set the ItemAngle property to 15 so that the side items will be turned at a 15-degree angle.

In Blend

Complete the following steps:

1. Select the C1CoverFlow control.

2. In the Properties panel, set the ItemAngle property to “15”.

In XAML

1. Add ItemAngle=”1” to the <c1ext:C1CoverFlow> tag so that the markup resembles the following:

<c1ext:C1CoverFlow Margin="0,0,87,233" ItemAngle=”15”>

In Code

Complete the following steps:

1. In XAML view, add “x:Name=”C1CoverFlow” to the <c1ext:C1CoverFlow> tag so that the control will have a unique identifier for you to call in code.

2. Add the following code beneath the InitializeComponent method:

C1CoverFlow1.ItemAngle = 15

C1CoverFlow1.ItemAngle = 15;

3. Run the program.
