The attached code doesn't really do much so it doesn't need much jibber jabber describing what it does. What it does is pretty simple and can quite easily be summarized by the following few points:
Create a Metro style control. I say Style, as it may not be 100% in line with what the Win8 Metro tile interface does, or how it functions, but to be honest, it fitted my needs well enough and I figured it may be OK for others. So be warned, it is not like the best control ever, it is in fact pretty simple.
Allow it to be used in direct content mode/or use MVVM to drive the creation of UI elements, via DataBinding.
Allow users to customise the primary/complementary colors that should be used when generating tiles.
Allow single tile group snap back animations (you know when you have not dragged past 1/2 way ala iPhone UI experience, it snaps back to the previous tile group).
Works with WPF.
I wrote this control because I could not find one that seemed to work, I am aware of one in the Windows7 contrib/source code, but I wanted one for WPF, so I had to write this one.
So that is basically what it does in a nutshell, I guess it would be a nice thing to do at this point to show a screenshot or two, so let's do that.
