Background full transparently?

[Pierre]

HI @all,

i use a Win Form with a Backgroundimage - so if i add a new radCarousel control to my form and set up the backgroundimage to "transparent" - i see always a a Gradient over this control. I use the Style Builder and add a new XML - but i dont find a proberty to turn off this functionality?
Have someone a solutions for me?
--> done :-) but... i think there is a small problem with the  theme manager. Sometime it works - somtime not. So - i try to find out the basicly problem and post it here.

and my seceond question: can i use my own button´s to rotate my radCarousel?
--> done :-) i use the selected Index function. Thanks

thanks @all
Markus

Hallo again.

I'm sorry but i haven't found anything to make background full transparent.
Can you please tell me which of your examples has a carousel with full transparency in background so i can check it?

Hello Marios,

First you need to set RadCarousel BackColor property to transparent. Then in order to set the gradient to a solid style you need to do this:

((Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.FillPrimitive)(this.radCarousel1.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0))).GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;

Basically you are setting the FillPrimitive which is responsible for painting the background in a solid color instead of gradient. Please write again if you have other questions.
