How to use DropDownContentTemplate in RadDropDownButton

[Alexey Oyun]

Hi everybody,

When I use DropDownContentTemplate drop down won't show.
But when I move template content into RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent control shows drop down just fine.
While this helps me to get control working, editing it in Blend is not as easy as if it was with template.

So here is my question, could you give me example of drop-down button with DropDownContentTemplate in use.

Thanks, Alexey.

Hello Alexey Oyun,

The use of templates without content is incorrect. You should have some content and then apply your custom template. So to make it works you should add some static content in the DropDownContent or to bind it to some data.

Hi,
So you mean I have to put Grid inside DropDownContent and assign template in DropDownContentTemplate property?

Hello Alex,

If you know exactly what your content is you can place it in the DropDownContent property. If your button is databound and you need to style the appearence of the data, you should apply custom template. So in your case I understand that you need to have some Grid as a content and you can simply place it in the DropDownContent.
