How to set a fill primitive programataically

[RTA]

Hello, 

I need to set the fill primitive of a control programatically.  Attached is a picture of what I need to accomplish. 

From the tree on the left (of the attached image) you can see I'm setting DockLayoutPanel.ToolwindowCaptionElement.FillPrimitive to the color red.  Works great from within the designer, but I need to do it via program control.  

 

It seems like this control, which is in a raddock, is part of a tool tab strip so I've tried...

 toolTabStrip11.SplitPanelElement.Fill.BackColor = Color.Red;

toolTabStrip11.SplitPanelElement.ForeColor = Color.Red;

and several other variations, but none of them changed the color.   Is there a way to do this grammatically? 

 

Thanks to anyone who can solve this, 

Steve

Hi Steve,

Thank you for writing.

As far as I can determine from the attached image you want to access the fill of tool window caption. This can be achieved like this:

var strip = (ToolTabStrip)toolWindow1.TabStrip;
var fill = strip.CaptionElement.Children[0] as FillPrimitive;
fill.BackColor = Color.Red;

Let me know if I can assist you further.

What type is FillPrimitive?   It's not coming up via Intellisense and I can't seem to find the class its part of.

Hello Steve,

Thank you for writing back.

You need to include the following namespace:

using Telerik.WinControls.Primitives;

Detailed information about the primitives is available in the following articles:

• Overview
• FillPrimitive
  

I hope this will be useful.
