I have been experimenting with the UltraLiveTileView and do like it. I am wondering, however, if it is possible to add a control to a tile such as a grid. I'd love to see a something that met in the middle for UltraLiveTileView and UltraTilePanel for users to create custom dashboards in our program.
Also, is there a method for saving the user's customized layout of the tiles?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics Support.
What you could do in order to add a grid to a tile is to use a CreationFilter. In it you can add an UltraPanel which overlaps the tile, then add the UltraGrid to the panel. If you want to know more about Creation Filters please follow this link:

As for saving and loading layout you can use the SaveAsXml and LoadAsXml methods. The former saves your layout as Xml file, while the latter loads it from an Xml file.
I have attached a sample which demonstrates this suggestion.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
This is fantastic! Thanks for the assistance. I believe I have everything I wanted from the control and I'm very excited to roll this out to the users. They will all be happy with the changes as our users all utilize the program in different capacities.
