How to apply style using targetType from Resource Dictionary on RadMenuItem

[Theo Foley]

Hi,
I'm trying to apply a style to all the RadMenuItem's, from the resource dictionary, using the syntax <Style TargetType="telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem">.

I assumed that if x:key is not specified in my MainPage.xaml, the Style with TargetType="telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem" would get applied. However this is not the case.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Code in MainPage.xaml:

<telerikNavigation:RadMenu FontFamily="Arial" FontSize="10" Grid.Row="1" Padding="0,0,0,0" MinWidth="250" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Orientation="Horizontal" >
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Menu Placeholder 1"/>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Menu Placeholder 2" ></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Menu Placeholder 3"></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Menu Placeholder 4" ></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Menu Placeholder 5" ></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Menu Placeholder 6">
                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon>
                    <Path x:Name="arrow" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Data="M8,1.5 L4.5,5 L1,1.5 z" Fill="#FF000000" Opacity="1"/>
                </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon>
                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Menu Item 7"></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>

        </telerikNavigation:RadMenu>

Code in ResourceDictionary:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="RadMenuTabBackground" Color="#FF202020"/>

So it looks like if I want to set the theme on the menu with my own style then I need to do something like this in the code behind.

Telerik.Windows.Controls.Theme myTheme = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Theme(new Uri "/Teltrik;component/Themes/TelerikMenuResourceDictionary.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

StyleManager.SetTheme(menu, myTheme);

Hi Theo Foley,

Implicit styles (without x:Key) are working only in WPF. This is Silverlight limitation that I hope will be removed in next silverlight version. The only way is to set x:Key on the Style and the reference it with {StaticResource theStyleKey}.

Let us know if you need more information.

I' ve defined styles for so many controls, using ImplicitStyleManager in code behind. Including RadMenu, every control applied style I defined (without x:key) , but with RadMenuItem, it does not work. Why that could be?

[Hristo]

Hello Celeste,

This was due to bug in RadMenuItem which is fixed.
This fix will be included in the latest internal build.
