Change Foreground RadMenu

[Huy Truong The]

Hi,
I am using Telerik premium collection for .net. At first, I now use RadControls for Silverlight and I met a problem with radmenu foreground

Expected: Radmenu control will be set foreground BLUE
Code sample 1:
I used RadMenu control and RadMenuItem to create a menu and set the Foreground="Blue" like that:
xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation" 


<telerik:RadMenu VerticalAlignment="Center"  HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="Blue"
                ClickToOpen="True" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"   >
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuQuicklyAccess" Header="QuicklyAccess" Foreground="Blue">
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuPersonalFile" Header="PersonalFile"  />
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuCard" Header="Card"/>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuPerformance" Header="Performance" />
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem>
   </telerik:RadMenu>

Result: all menu items have BLACK foreground

Code sample 2:             
   <telerik:RadMenu VerticalAlignment="Center"  HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="Blue"
                ClickToOpen="True" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"   >
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuQuicklyAccess" Header="QuicklyAccess" Foreground="Blue" >
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuPersonalFile" Header="PersonalFile" Foreground="Blue" />
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuCard" Header="Card" Foreground="Blue/>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem x:Name="menuPerformance" Header="Performance" Foreground="Blue/>
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem>
   </telerik:RadMenu>

Result:
- The Foreground of the RadMenuItem with name menuQuicklyAccess is Black
- The Foreground of the RadMenuItem with name menuPersonalFile,menuCard,menuPerformance is Blue

I want all text in RadMenu is display with Foreground = "Blue". How could I set foreground BLUE for all menu (items, subitems)?

Thank you
Huy

Hello Huy Truong The,

This is bug that will be fixed with the next official release. If this is a show-stopper for you open a support ticket and I will send you the hotfix.

I'm sorry for the caused inconvenience.

Have you really released a verison of RadMenu that doesn't allow control of the text colour?  If so I assume you did no testing at all.

I have just wasted half a day upgrading to the latest version only to be forced to revert because of this.  I can't quite believe how bad these telerik controls are proving and regret purchasing them.  I can't use a binary hotfix release because I need to use the source code version, which I've paid a lot of money for.  When will a working source code download be available?

Hi max,

We appreciate your thoughts. We know that launching hotfixes might be a win-lose situation as the controls included in this hotfix are not polished that much as they are in the official releases (major Q releases or service packs). We launch these latest internal builds as there is a high demand for them by our customers who require a certain feature or a bugfix that appears to be a major show-stopper for them.  The main purpose of these hotfixes is to enable the users replace the official binaries with the ones included in the fix to quickly repair their projects. We do not include source code in these hotfix releases as it would be extremely complicated for us to wrap a working source code especially for this hotfix release. However, we might consider changing this practice and include source code in the latest internal builds we upload on a weekly basis.

As for your complaints about the RadMenu control - we will appreciate if you share with us the exact problems you face with this control. Thus, we will be able to verify the problems at our side and then include them in our To-Do list for the next Q release. We continue to believe that our customers' feedback is always the best way to ensure our products keep getting better.

But this fault isn't with a hotfix.  It's the 2009 Q1 release, that's a full release is it not?

I do not understand why you are asking me to share the exact problem when Huy Truong The has already explained it in this thread.  His explanation is pretty clear to me.

If you think your customer's feedback is important you might try reading it a bit more carefully.

Hi max,

We read Huy Truong The's post quite carefully. I thought that there are other problems you are facing with our control. I talked to our developers and they will try to prepare a working source code in the following days. I will follow up with you in this forum thread right away to let you know about the availability of the source code so that we can send it to you via a support ticket. Is this acceptable for you?

Best wishes,
