    Hi. Question please. As a page is turned (manually by using the mouse of automatically when a corner is clicked), is there a way to know the amount the page has turned? For instance, if I manually turn a page and it is halfway to being fully turned (laying flat), is there a percentage somewhere that says 50%? Or during the animation, a percentage that says 10%, 30%, 90%, etc.? Thanks.

    Hello Mike,

    Thanks for reaching out to us with your query.

    Currently, your requirement is not possible with C1Book and this seems like a valid requirement. So we have raised an enhancement request and discussing your requirement to the development team. We will get back to you once we get any update from them.

    Thank you Nitin. If this helps, I’ll explain my use case.

    A book may be displayed in single-page mode. While in this display mode, I can take a book and center it horizontally in a window. When the end-user turns the opening page, I want to switch the book to two-page mode and display the book once again centered horizontally in a window. As the visual display of the book changes from single-page display mode to dual-page display mode, I want a smooth animated transition between these two display modes, all the while keeping the book centered horizontally.

    The same would be true in reverse; going from dual page to single page (from page 2 to page 1)

    My thinking was to tie in animation to the percent of how much the opening page has opened; in other words the percent of animated transition from single to dual would be based on the percentage that the page has opened from page 1 to page 2.

    If there is another way this may be accomplished, I am all ears; or if this is something that could be built into the book control itself, that would be even better.

    Thanks, Mike
