How to set ContentTemplateMinimizedExpanded in code-behind
posted

Most of my tiles are set up via the XAML, as follows:

<igTiles:Tile x:Name="PrimaryTile"

        Header="Primary Library">

   <igTiles:Tile.ContentTemplateMinimizedExpanded>

      <DataTemplate x:Name="PriMinExp">

         <local:PrimaryWpfUsrCtrlThumb/>

      </DataTemplate>

   </igTiles:Tile.ContentTemplateMinimizedExpanded>

</igTiles:Tile>

What is the equivalent for a tile that I need to create in code-behind.  So far, I have:

myTile=new Tile();

myTile.Header="My Tile";

But how do I set the ContentTemplateMinimizedExpanded for this?  Basically I am just wanting different content (in this case a user control) in whenthe state is minimized expanded.   While I'm at it, how do i set MinimizedExpanded Tile Constraints (ex-MaxHeight) in code behind.  I tried:

myTile.ConstraintsMinimizedExpanded.MaxHeight=150 to no avail

    Creating a DataTemplate in code (for our properties or those in the wpf framework) means creating a FrameworkElementFactory and building the VisualTree in code. 
    DataTemplate dt = new DataTemplate();
    var fef = new FrameworkElementFactory(typeof(UserControl));
    dt.VisualTree = fef;

    Constraints(Minimized|Maximized|MinimizedExpanded) are properties on Tile so you would create an instance of the TileConstraints class, set properties on it and then set the relevant Constraints property to that. E.g. 
    Tile tile = new Tile();
    TileConstraints tc = new TileConstraints();
    tc.MaxHeight = 150;
    tile.Constraints = tc;
