I wish to make the panel bar more like Outlook. I have select the OutlookNavPane as the group style, and I have modified the capiton with some additional code, but I am struggling the make the GroupElement highlight orange when it has been selected.
Can this be done? What is the best way to do this?
Thanks.

I have found a post on page 2 showing how this is done entitled "Selected color on RadPanelBarGroupElement - June 2008".
It looks like it has to be done programmatically, rather than a setting. The above thread does indicate that this would become default behaviour in the next release - doesn't seem to be the case though.

Hello Craig Booth,
Maybe, my colleague Martin did not express himself correctly. He meant to say the feature will be included in one of our next releases, but he did not specified in which release exactly.
However, the feature that Martin concerned is already implemented, so now you can make the selected group orange by modifying the default themes. This is the best way to achieve the desired look and feel.
The key part of the custom theme is the Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadPanelBarVisualElement.Selected property that you should use in the RadPanelBarVisualElement state tabs. For additional information about Visual Style Builder, please refer to these support resources:
Creating a Theme for RadPanelBar
State Editor
State Precedence Rules
I am attaching a sample theme based on the ControlDefault theme. The states that I created for the RadPanelBarVisualElement can be used as a pattern in case you want to modify other themes.
I hope this helps. if you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Nikolay

OK - I have worked through this and now see how it works.
I was initially curious as to why the MouseOver states were needed together with the Selected state, but I presume that the state engine only evaluates based upon change - hence you need to include a mouse event so that Selected condition is evaluated.
Thanks Nikolay

I used the theme "RadPanelBarOutlook2007.xml" you provided with group style as "Listbar". The problem I encountered is that, on fast selection of group elements appeared as shown in attached screen shots.
I am using "RadControls for WinForms Q3 2009 sp1".
Is there a problem or i missed something? What is the best way?

Hello Abdulrahman Nabil,
In Q1 2010 we released our new Visual Style Builder. You can find more about it in the help as well.
The theme provided in this thread is created with the old version of the style builder and it can't be used directly with the new one. Nevertheless, with our new style builder it is much easier to modify an existing theme. Please, review the documentation and let us know if you need additional assistance.
