I am trying to set the background color of a RadMenuItem based on some logic in order to highlight a particular item in the menu. To set the highlighted item color I am doing this:

menuItem.FillPrimitive.BackColor = Color.Gray;


The problem is this coloring only is visible when the mouse moves over the item. I want the coloring to apply to all states. Is there something else that must be done for this to appear in non-hover states?

Hello Scott,

Because of the specific design they are after, not all themes may share the same set of settings, therefore the solution for you may depend on which theme you are using. However, the most common setting to be applied in this situation is the Visibility property set to Visible:

this.radMenuItem1.FillPrimitive.BackColor = Color.Red;
this.radMenuItem1.FillPrimitive.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Visible;

I hope this helps. If you still need assistance, please let me know which theme you are using, so that I can provide you with adequate assistance.
Regards,
Nikolay
