add dynamic labels to radPanelbarGroupElement.ContentPanel

[Kerri]

When I add labels dynamically to the content panel, the content panel only displays the first label added.  When I convert the labels to radLabelElements and add them directly to the groupElement, all of them display but the content panel is pushed south causing my panelbar to scroll.

This is how I add labels to the content panel (only first one shows):
Label lbl = new Label();
lbl.Text = "HI";
grpElement1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl);
Label lbl2 = new Label();
lbl2.Text = "HI2";
grpElement1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl2);

This is how I add radGroupElements to the groupElement (pushes contentPanel south):
RadLabelElement lbl = new RadLabelElement();
lbl.Text = "HI";
grpElement1.Items.Add(lbl);

I would really just like to add labels to the content panel since my theme has it looking nice... Can someone please give me a tip on how to fix this?
Thanks - Kerri

Hi Kerri,

It seems that because you have not set their location, all labels have a location of (0, 0). If you set the location the way illustrated in the code bellow all labels are shown:

Label lbl1 = new Label();
lbl1.Text = "Label1";
lbl1.Location = new Point(0, 0);            this.radPanelBarGroupElement5.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl1);

Label lbl2 = new Label();
lbl2.Text = "Label2";
lbl2.Location = new Point(0, 25);
this.radPanelBarGroupElement5.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl2);

Label lbl3 = new Label();
lbl3.Text = "Label3";
lbl3.Location = new Point(0, 50);           this.radPanelBarGroupElement5.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl3);

Thank you for writing. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further assistance.

I want to add RadlabelElements directly to the PanelBarGroupElement as in Kerri's example:

RadLabelElement lbl = new RadLabelElement();
lbl.Text = "HI";
grpElement1.Items.Add(lbl);

How can I do that without the pushing the content panel south behaviour?

Thanks - Tim.

Hello Tim,

You should use the ContentPanel only when you add Controls and whenever the groupElement EnableHostControlMode property value is true, otherwise you should use the Items collection of RadPanelBarGroupElement to directly add any items such as RadLabelElements.

Here is sample code demonstrating how to add a label element to RadPanelBarGroupElement

   RadLabelElement label = new RadLabelElement();
            label.Text = "test";
            this.radPanelBarGroupElement1.Items.Add(label);

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.

All the best,

Hi YING JANG LIN,

Please note that you are only allowed to attach images to the forum messages. This may be the reason why I cannot notice any attachments to your latest response.

1. Please refer to our Examples application, section PanelBar >> Nested PanelBars. This examples demonstrates how to nest RadPanelBars into each other.
2. In order to set the font of a group, let's say RadPanelBarGroupElement1, please consider the following code snippet:

RadPanelBarVisualElement captionElement = this.radPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement();
captionElement.Font = new Font("Comic Sans Serif", 12, FontStyle.Strikeout);

As to the font of the group items, assuming that your items are contained in RadPanelBarGroupElement1, follow the approach demonstrated below:

Font font = new Font("Comic Sans Serif", 12, FontStyle.Strikeout);
for (int i = 0; i < this.radPanelBarGroupElement1.Items.Count; i++)
{
     this.radPanelBarGroupElement1.Items[i].Font = font;
}

Sincerely yours,
