In the last step, you created a Silverlight project and added a C1Accordion control to it. In this step, you will customize the behavior and appearance of the C1Accordion control.

Complete the following steps:

1. Add Height="250" to the <c1:C1Accordion> tag to set the height of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1:C1Accordion Height="250">

2. Add Width="400" to the <c1:C1Accordion> tag to set the width of the control. The XAML markup appears as follows:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1:C1Accordion Height="250" Width="400">

3. Add ExpandDirection="Left" to the <c1:C1Accordion> tag so that the C1Accordion control will expand from the bottom rather than expanding from the top, which is its default. The XAML markup appears follows:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1:C1Accordion Height="250" Width="400" ExpandDirection="Left">

4. Add Fill="True" to the <c1:C1Accordion> tag so that each pane will expand to fill the specified width of the C1Accordion control. The XAML markup appears follows:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1:C1Accordion Height="250" Width="400" ExpandDirection="Left"Fill="True">

 

5. Add AllowCollapseAll="False" to the <c1:C1Accordion> tag to prevent users from collapsing all panes at the same time. The XAML markup appears follows:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1:C1Accordion Height="250" Width="400" ExpandDirection="Left"Fill="True" AllowCollapseAll="False">

In this step, you customized the appearance and behavior of the C1Accordion control. In the next step, you will add customized accordion panes to the control.
