When i expand the expander, i expect to show the content above the other controls on the page. Is this not possible? It shows transparent, but i changed the backgroundcolor of the stackpanel inside the content , so i expected it not to be transparent anymore.

Greetings

Hi Katrien,

Thank you for contacting us.

Actually the expander just expands itself and this way shows/hides its content. It can not pop-up over other controls. However you can layout it in the way to simulate the hovering effect - just put last in the grid's children list or set its z-order to be the biggest value.

In order to expand the content over other controls you can use the RadDropDownButton. Its drop-down content is displayed in a pop-up and this way it is over the page.

About the background question: you should change the expander's background in order to make it non-transparent.

If you have a bit wired case with the element's layout please send us more information (or better a sample application) and we will elaborate it.

All the best,
Ivan

Hi, 
I've red this post and I have the same problem.
In my project I've got 4 expander (one on the left, one on the right, one on top e one on the bottom).
In center, inside the ContentControl, I have to load an external grid.
The problem is that when I press one of the 4 expanders, the content of it doesn't appear over the grid,
but on the same level and the grid narrows.

What I have to do for let the expander's content pass over the grid?

Here is the style of bottom expander:

Hi Chiara,

 This is common scenario: RadExpander to overlap other control when expanded. You can place these controls in Canvas and us the Canvas.ZIndex attached property. You can also check out this forum thread and let us know if it helps you.

All the best,
