Add Image To RadOutlookBarItem In Code Behind

[Kevin Marois]

I am trying to set up RadOutlookBarItems in the code behind. I want to add an icon to each section so far I have this:

private void addOutlookBarSections()

{

    Sections = new ObservableCollection<RadOutlookBarItem>();


    RadOutlookBarItem projects = new RadOutlookBarItem();

    projects.Header = "Projects";

    BitmapImage projectsIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("media/images/project_24.png", UriKind.Relative));

    projects.Icon = projectsIcon;

    Sections.Add(projects);

  

    RadOutlookBarItem clients = new RadOutlookBarItem();

    clients.Header = "Clients";

    BitmapImage clientsIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("media/images/person_24.png", UriKind.Relative));

    clients.Icon = clientsIcon;

    Sections.Add(clients);

  

}

It runs and the sections are there, but the icons are not. The icons are included in the project, What's the right way to do this?

Thanks

Hello Kevin,

I am not sure how you're using the Sections collection to populate the RadOutlookBar with items and this is why I attached a sample project where I used your code snippet to populate directly the RadOutlookBar.Items collection and it works as expected on our side. Can you please give it a try and let me know if it works for you or if I'm missing something from your approach

Kind regards,
