RadOutlookBar with RadTabControl

[Andrey]

Hi everybody.
I created the simple example:

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:navigation="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignHeight="500" d:DesignWidth="800">

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <navigation:RadTabControl>
            <navigation:RadTabItem Header="Tab 1">
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <Button
                        HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                        VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                        Content="Test"></Button>
                    <navigation:RadOutlookBar
                        Grid.Row="0"
                        Grid.Column="1"
                        Width="500"
                        IsVerticalResizerVisible="False"
                        OverflowMode="Wrap"
                        MaxWidth="700">
                        <navigation:RadOutlookBarItem Header="test item">
                            <TextBox
                                Text="test text"
                                Width="300"
                                Height="200" />
                        </navigation:RadOutlookBarItem>
                    </navigation:RadOutlookBar>
                </Grid>
            </navigation:RadTabItem>
            <navigation:RadTabItem Header="Tab 2"></navigation:RadTabItem>
        </navigation:RadTabControl>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

There are 2 tabs, the first one contains the grid with OutlookBar.
1. Minimize the OutlookBar.
2. Go to the second tab.
3. Return back to first tab.
4. Try to open (maximize) OutlookBar.
5. It doesn't work.

How can I open it, please advise.

Hello Andrey,

 Some of the properties of the RadOutlookBar are not properly reassigned when the first tab is loaded again.
The good news is that you can use the IsContentPreserved property of the RadTabControl to True which will save and load your first tab's configuration fine. Hope this is suitable for you.

All the best,
