I am a little unclear on the scope of the RadPanelBar. I understand that the RadPanelBar contains a tree-like structure of RadPanelBarItems. Can these items be any content such as Grids, StackPanels of controls, etc.? Or are they just tree-like text as shown in the demo project? The documentation only mentions an Item property that is an 'object'.

Also, the documentation is called RadControls for Silverlight. I assume it also applies to WPF. Is there any functionality that is Silverlight or WPF specific?

Thanks.

Greg

Hi Greg,

The PanelBar is a standard ItemsControl and it is quite similar to the TreeView. The content of its children is not restricted to string, but as the property suggests (object), it can be anything.

ItemTemplates, TemplateSelectors, Styles & StyleSelectors work as well.

It seems we have overlooked changing the Silverlight to WPF in the PanelBar's documentation but the API and behaviour of the control is the same. Thank you for pointing this out. We will surely fix it.

The reason why we implemented different functionalities is that there are differencies between the WPF and Silverlight platforms that we could not overcome. For example, the WPF base ItemsControl comes with functionality like grouping and LayoutTransformations which are not available in the Silverlight framework.

We will be happy to help you if you face any other difficulties or have further questions.

Hi Miroslav,

Would it be possible to put a user control within the RadPanelBarItem using datatemplate?
