Build RadToolBar based on data object.

[Rob]

Hi,

I have a custom data object called MenuOption which looks like this:

public class MenuOption

 

{

 

 

   public string Caption { get; set; }

 

 

   public string ImagePath { get; set; }

 

 

 

   public ObservableCollection<MenuOption> Items { get; set; }

 

 

 

}

I would like to build a RadToolBar by binding this object to the ItemsSource property and using templates.

<TNC:RadToolBarTray>

 

 

   <TNC:RadToolBar x:Name="mnuResult" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ToolbarMenu.Items}" />

 

 

</TelerikNavigationControls:RadToolBarTray>

I thought at first that using a converter might be the proper solution and tried recursively iterating thruogh the items and building the controls as needed.  Then I ran into problems attaching events to the controls.  I have tried some other things without success either.
Should I be looking at the ItemTemplateSelector to accomplish this since each individual MenuOption would possibly be a different control (Button, CheckBox, etc...)?

Hi Rob,

What problems you are facing when trying to attach an event handler to the dynamically created controls?

Can't you use a single handler for all the buttons and switch the action based on the sender item?

Hi Valentin,

 

I have added a post to the silverlight forums from Microsoft that better explains my problem.  It's not that I was unable to attach events to the the RadMenuItem, it's that I needed to include a RadMenuItem inside the item to attach the events to (if that makes sense)...
