FlowControl ImageType binding?

[y2guru]

@Jason Carr   Is there a variable exposed that would enable something like this... I'd love the user to choose what game images to use via Big Box options instead of coding alternate XAML views 

Cheers in advance,

Dave

    <coverFlow:FlowControl Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="9"
      x:Name="FlowControl" ImageType="{Binding GameImageType}"
      CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="8.4" VisibleCount="7" PageSize="14" ItemZPosition="2.5" SelectedItemZPosition="4.0" Spacing="2.5"  >
     <coverFlow:FlowControl.CoverFactory>
      <coverFlow:HorizontalWheelCoverFactory />
     </coverFlow:FlowControl.CoverFactory>
    </coverFlow:FlowControl>

Sorry I know nothing of the XAML, but there are already themes that let you use the "switch image" key/button to do this already, some views are hard coded, some let you switch on the fly.

thanks Neil, all my views are hardcoded, but i would love to know which Theme or Themes allow a key/button to switch the Game Image Types on the fly.

Give me a sec and ill dig a theme/view out.

[y2guru]

you're too kind :-)

Critical Zone V2 allows it. On the coverflow with details, and I think others.

Should probably tag @CriticalCid here as he actually knows, rather than me speculating.

As far as I know does the "change image type" button/key only work for CoverFlow elements in non-wheel views. In the wheel views it only allows you to set a specific image type.

Hey Cid! long time no exchange messages.  Thats what i thought too, coverflow appears to allow switching (and i don't want to use coverflow) and wheel types are fixed (have to be hard coded in the xaml view)  i wish that wasn't the case :-(  if only the value of the "options - Game Image" was accessible, would make life (coding) so much easier   

[CriticalCid]

That's true. I've already suggested that to @Jason Carr quite a while ago but he never came to it

Bummer :-(  I figured it would be a fairly simple thing to do ... compared to everything else going on.
