README

DevExpress WPF Carousel

DevExpress.Wpf.Carousel includes the DevExpress WPF Carousel control. CarouselPanel arranges items along a path and animates them as a user scrolls.

dotnet add package DevExpress.Wpf.Carousel

Key Features

  • Custom Item Path: ItemMovingPath defines a path the carousel items move along. The carousel can be circular, elliptical, or an arbitrary shape.
  • Active Item: ActiveItem and ActiveItemIndex get or set the item in the foreground.
  • Click to Activate: ActivateItemOnClick moves the clicked item to the front.
  • Looping: IsRepeat enables endless scrolling through the collection. IsInvertedDirection reverses the travel direction.
  • Item Dimensions: You can specify a fixed ItemSize.
  • Animation Settings: AnimationTime, DistributionFunction, and ParameterSet control how items move and how they are spaced along the path.

Examples

Example: Display a Collection as a Carousel

<Window
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:dxca="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/carousel">

    <dxca:CarouselItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Photos}"
                               ActivateItemOnClick="True"
                               IsRepeat="True">
        <dxca:CarouselItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Image Source="{Binding Path}" Width="180" />
            </DataTemplate>
        </dxca:CarouselItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    </dxca:CarouselItemsControl>
</Window>

In this configuration, the carousel behaves as follows:

  • Displays one item per element in the Photos collection
  • Brings an item to the foreground when a user clicks it
  • Scrolls endlessly instead of stopping at the last item

CarouselItemsControl is a standalone UI component. You can also place a carousel layout inside another items control. To do this, assign CarouselPanel to the control's ItemsPanel property.
