Leadtools.Windows.Controls Namespace : ImageList Class
Represents a WPF/Silverlight image list control, which displays a collection of items that can be displayed using one of the ImageListItemStyle styles.
Object Model
Syntax
Remarks

The ImageList control derives from the WPF/Silverlight System.Windows.Controls.ListBox control and lets you display and manipulate a list of images. The ImageList control contains a list of items that can be used to view thumbnails of WPF/Silverlight System.Windows.Media.ImageSource or LEADTOOLS Leadtools.RasterImage objects.

A ImageList control allows you to display a list of items with text and an image. For example, the Windows Explorer in Thumbnails mode is similar in appearance to a ImageList control. The ImageListItem class represents an item within a ImageList control. The items that are displayed in the list can be shown using one of the ImageListItemStyle styles.

ImageList supports single or multiple item selection. The multiple selection feature lets the user select from a list of items in a way similar to a System.Windows.Controls.ListBox control. Additionally, the user can activate selected items to perform a task. For example, you could use a ImageList control to display a list of files that the application can then open and utilize. The user can select the files to open and then double-click them to activate the items and open the files in the application.

ImageList provides a large number of properties that provide flexibility in appearance and behavior. The ItemStyle property allows you to change the way in which items are displayed. Items are added and removed from the ImageList through the ItemsSource property. The ItemsSource property allows you to access the ObservableCollection of the control, which provides methods for manipulating the items in the control. When your control contains a large number of items, it is often easier for the user to see them in a sorted list. You can use the Sort method to sort the items alphabetically.

In addition to the many properties that are available for a ImageList control, You you may want to provide functionality when the user right-clicks an item. To determine the item which is being clicked, you can use the HitTest(Point) method. Sometimes you want to display a specific item to the user to view. The EnsureVisible method can be called to ensure that the specific item is in the visible area of the control.

The ImageList control also supports populating the items directly from the pages of a multi-page TIF file or stream through the LoadTiff(Stream) method and saving the current items to a multi-page TIF file or stream using the SaveTiff method.
