    Hi, 

    Some of the telerik silverlight  components which contains content feature such as radexpander works strange if I try to apply a new style.

    The scenario is that, I try to add a new button in a radexpander header template. In order to activate this button and new style I need to call InitializeComponent method in constructor. However, if I do this, I can listen button events that I added, and there is no compile time
    error. Then at run time my button seems null. I guess there are two instances of the button. 

    There may be a constructor problem, which type of the following should be used in this case;

    public partial class  MyComponent : SomeRadComponent
    {
          public MyComponent() : base()
          {
              //does not show new style
          }
    }
     
    OR
     
    public partial class  MyComponent : SomeRadComponent
    {
          public MyComponent() : base()
          {
                InitializeComponent();
                //cannot  read component at run time
          }
    }
     OR
    public partial class  MyComponent : SomeRadComponent
    {
          public MyComponent()
          {
                InitializeComponent();
                //cannot  read component at run time
          }
    }


    What should I do when I m trying to extend a telerik component without loosing my components ?

    Thanks,
    Serif

    Hello Serif,

    Can you please elaborate on your issues? I am afraid that from the code snippets you provided I cannot understand your scenario correctly.

    In the meantime I created a sample project illustrating how to create a custom control deriving from the RadExpander control and how to define a custom style for it. I hope it will get you on the right track.

    All the best,
