We have a SL project that uses Xamtiles to display our dashboard.
We recently developed an IgniteUI project that is hosted inside a XamHtmlViewer that is in turn hosted inside a XamTile.
Whenever an IgniteUI Datachart is displayed and then the mouse is moved over the chart a tooltip is displayed. Whenever the tooltip moves, we notice the screen flickers a lot.
If we remove the XamTile from the project and simply run the Ignite content inside the XamHtmlViewer we do not notice the behavior.
I've attached a solution that demonstrates the problem we're having.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I can't get file to attach to post. Maybe too big? Is there another way to get the file to you?
Hi epsiwebdev,
I was able to reproduce the behavior you described using your attached sample. I need to do some more research on this, though, since I haven't seen it before so I will get back to you after I finish investigating this.
I managed to simplify the issue down to the XamHtmlViewer itself. It doesn't matter if the viewer is inside a XamTile or not, it will still produce the flicker. I then compared this against the built-in WebBrowser control that Silverlight has and I saw that there was no flicker in that control. Therefore I have logged a development issue for this and asked our engineering staff to examine this further. The dev issue ID is 218574. I have also created a private support case for you and linked the dev issue to it so that you may track its status. The case # is CAS-172456-P9F9N4 and you can view it here.
As a workaround for now I recommend just using the Silverlight built-in WebBrowser control.
