>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).
I see they have a Tile Layout <http://devexpress.com/Subscriptions/DXperience/WhatsNew2012v1/index.xml?pag e=2> control, but the whole expensive kit is gigantic overkill for us. It took about an hour to find the latest Blacklight <http://blacklight.codeplex.com/> library and source and tweak it to our needs. It was last officially published in 2008, but it looks like some hobbyists have fixed a few bugs, including the one I experienced where the min/max buttons clicks did nothing. As I said yesterday, the default appearance is absurdly impractical, so I stripped the generic.xaml way down to an acceptably plain appearance. I still have to delete all the controls and classes I don't want from the library to pare it right down to the single DragDrop control. The "tiles" cannot span multiple rows or columns, so you can get "holes" for certain tile counts. The minimised tiles are too cramped because the tile layout doesn't change. However, the animation of the tiles feels lovely and it's a neat way of presenting a portal of choices. You have to deal with having the tile content changing between small, medium or large area for display. I made child controls that automatically flip between 3 appearances as their size changes. I still look forward to finding a more realistic metro style tile control for WPF, when one appears (I'm not writing it!) Greg
