creating own rating control

Question

hi all,

 

i need to create a personal rating control in sl3.

the standard control shows 5 stars (for example) and on the mouse over, stars change colour.

i need to show also the medium vote, so that the normal state of the 5 stars will show (if the medium vote is 2) the first 2 stars in one color, while the others 3 in an other one. the mouse over effect would be the same

 

i don't know what to do.

do i have to extend the rating control? 

 

thanks in advance!

The Silverlight Toolkit has a Rating Control.

Answer 2

 hi,

 

i know there's a rating control

but i need a rating control with a function more: showing the medium vote, so that stars in the normal state would have two different colours

Answer 3

In that case, you have to use your own rating control...

You can create your own control by deriving/customizing the Silverlight Toolkit's Rating control. The source should be there inside the installation directory in your computer.
