DevExpress has a WPF Metro Style Tile control - see their online demos & videos (I have been doing some research lately on this -but haven not purchased or implemented the control as yet).

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Wednesday, 20 June 2012 8:37 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: Blacklight and "metroising" a WPF app Folks, a few years ago someone here pointed me to the Blacklight<http://mightymeaty.members.winisp.net/blacklight.silverlight/> Drag Dock Panel which I thought would quite simple and effective for creating a portal style arrival screen in an app. However, I had to de-style it to remove the ridiculous default glowing and hatching effects and weird colours so it was suitable for a real use. Sadly I discovered it had bugs in the min/max motion when clicking the arrows and I gave up on it. Then Blacklight 4.3 dropped WPF support and a lot of people were confused and upset. The Drag Dock Panel was ahead of its time in a sense, as it had a metro/phone feel. We'd like a similar effect on the main screen of our WPF app where tiles show you what's available and clicking one will zoom into that feature, possibly pushing the other icons out of the way. Does anyone know of a control/kit/technique for creating this effect? I don't want to waste a lot of time reproducing the effect manually if I can avoid it. Thanks Greg
