Hi everyone, I'm devloping an application which uses mirabyte touch list as its main navigation system and I'm stuck with a little problem: at the end of the navigation I need to display something which is not a list, how can I do?
The final result should be something like this (at least this is the concept we have in mind).
Is there a way to do this using your controls or shall I use a custom made form?
Tnx in advance, and compliments for the good job

you can use the CustomDrawItem method to draw content like shown in your screenshot.
You will find a CustomDrawItem HowTo in the HowTo-Thread at this forum.
So shall I put everything in a huge custom list item?
Or is it better to split various items (image with infos, title, etc.) in various custom items?
And is it possible to include a touchPictureButton in a non clickable list item so it's just the button which is clickable? (the only touchable elements in this "page" will be the 2 buttons)

Hi,
Im facing a similar problem, whatever to draw all-in-one or make multiple CustomDrawItems. The all-in-one approach gives no flexibility if the user have several navigation directions (as a TouchListBox with multiple items) and i have to do my own drawing so it seems like multiple items . Using multiple CustomDrawItem, which would be the correct approach, gives another challenge since the TouchListBox is working on a fixed ItemHeight! If a TouchListBoxItem (in CustomDrawItem mode) could have a CustomItemHeight that would be extremely helpfull

@Glorfind3l: Controls like the TouchPictureButton cannot be added to the TouchListBox.
@frank.nielsen:
Good idea! I added this feature request to our bugtracker system. So that you can use a custom ItemHeight for each item in the next release of Touch Controls Suite.

Is it possible to display a screen with other controls (not TouchListBoxs) but with using slide effect?
For example:
1) user selects item in TouchListBox;
2) screen with TextBox, TouchPictureButton and some Labels appears from right;
3) after clicking on Cancel button TouchListBox appears from left.
Can Animator or SlideAnimator class be used for this approach (showing screens with slide effect)?
Thanks.

yes you can use the SlideAnimator class for that. We will post a how-to that shows how you can use this class for such as purpose. Basically a SlideAnimator does nothing else than sliding a bitmap over the screen.

it's possible to have a little example for this ?
I would use slideanimator for showing from the bottom of the form a list of button
