WPF: How to resize the "RadTileViewItem" in "RadTileView" to the half of ActualWidth of window, while minimizing .

Question: How to resize the “RadTileViewItem” in “RadTileView” to the half of ActualWidth of window, while minimizing.

Solution 1-RenderTransform of FrameworkElement

Using FrameworkElement and setting up RenderTransform to perform the necessary arithmetic/calculations required.

• Create a “FrameworkElement” and define the transform that will render the actual mathematics behind the scene.
• By binding the ActualWidth of the page and assembling constants of 0.50, the resultant composite transform has an OffsetX value equal to 1/2 of the page width. 
• You can try the transform multiplications to assure yourself that's what's happening.
• Now, bind the “MinimizedColumnWidth” property of RadTileView to FrameworkElement’s OffsetX value which is get calculated as described above.

Solution 2-Converters

<Window.Resources> <Local:appendKB x:Key="adjustValue"/> <Window.Resources> <Setter Property="Width" Value="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, Converter={StaticResource adjustValue}}"/>

Converter Class:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Data; namespace Simple123 { public class adjustValue: IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { double s = (value/2) + 300; return (s); } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetTypes, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotSupportedException("ConvertBack should never be called"); } } }
