Example

Here's an example using HubTileService:

<telerik:RadSlideHubTile UpdateInterval="0:0:1" VerticalAlignment="Top" telerik:HubTileService.GroupTag="firstGroup"  >
    <telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
        <TextBlock Text="firstTopContent"/>
    </telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
    <telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
        <TextBlock Text="firstBottomContent"/>
    </telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
</telerik:RadSlideHubTile>
<telerik:RadSlideHubTile UpdateInterval="0:0:1" x:Name="secondHubTile" telerik:HubTileService.GroupTag="secondGroup">
    <telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
        <TextBlock Text="secondTopContent"/>
    </telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
    <telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
        <TextBlock Text="secondBottomContent"/>
    </telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
</telerik:RadSlideHubTile>
<telerik:RadSlideHubTile UpdateInterval="0:0:1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" telerik:HubTileService.GroupTag="firstGroup">
    <telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
        <TextBlock Text="thirdTopContent"/>
    </telerik:RadSlideHubTile.TopContent>
    <telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
        <TextBlock Text="thirdBottomContent"/>
    </telerik:RadSlideHubTile.BottomContent>
</telerik:RadSlideHubTile>
  1. First, we freeze the HubTiles with GroupTag = "firstGroup"

    HubTileService.FreezeGroup("firstGroup");
    
  2. Then, we get the GroupTag of the second HubTile and freeze it.

    var groupTag = HubTileService.GetGroupTag(secondHubTile);
    HubTileService.FreezeGroup(groupTag);
