Carousel Message
The CarouselMessage utilizes the RadCarousel component for displaying its data. Its constructor accepts the following parameters.
- MessageDisplayPosition displayPosition
- Author author
- IEnumerable source
- DateTime creationDate
For the purpose of this example a sample collection of ImageCards will be defined.
Example 1: Defining a CarouselMessage
List<ImageCardMessage> imageCards = new List<ImageCardMessage>();
ImageCardMessage imageCardMessagePlane = new ImageCardMessage(this.currentAuthor);
imageCardMessagePlane.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Images/Filhas.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
imageCardMessagePlane.Title = "Filhas";
imageCardMessagePlane.CardOrientation = CardOrientation.Portrait;
imageCardMessagePlane.ImageDisplayMode = ImageDisplayMode.Stretch;
imageCards.Add(imageCardMessagePlane);
ImageCardMessage imageCardMessageShip = new ImageCardMessage(this.currentAuthor);
imageCardMessageShip.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Images/Casadapaz.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
imageCardMessageShip.Title = "Casadapaz";
imageCardMessageShip.CardOrientation = CardOrientation.Portrait;
imageCardMessageShip.ImageDisplayMode = ImageDisplayMode.Stretch;
imageCards.Add(imageCardMessageShip);
ImageCardMessage imageCardMessageTrain = new ImageCardMessage(this.currentAuthor);
imageCardMessageTrain.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("/Images/Hotelresidential.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
imageCardMessageTrain.Title = "Hotelresidential";
imageCardMessageTrain.CardOrientation = CardOrientation.Portrait;
imageCardMessageTrain.ImageDisplayMode = ImageDisplayMode.Stretch;
imageCards.Add(imageCardMessageTrain);
CarouselMessage carouselMessage = new CarouselMessage(MessageDisplayPosition.Overlay, this.currentAuthor, imageCards);
this.chat.AddMessage(carouselMessage);
