radwaitingbar theming issue

[Peter]

Hi,

I am creating a waitingbar control at runtime and when the control is displayed the default theming of the control is not applied. White bar is shown.

radWaitingBar1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadWaitingBar();
radWaitingBar1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(110, 38);
radWaitingBar1.Name = "radWaitingBar1";
radWaitingBar1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 15);
radWaitingBar1.TabIndex = 0;
radWaitingBar1.WaitingSpeed = 10;
radWaitingBar1.ThemeClassName = "Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadWaitingBar";

If I place the control on the form at design time, the theming is shown. (green bar)

I was hoping to avoid having to set the UI primitives. What properties should I be setting to get the control's default theme?

Cheers
Peter

Hello Peter,

Thank you for contacting us with this question.
When you create a RadWaitingBar at run-time, you should set the theme name.

The default control theme is ControlDefault, so the code is:

            RadWaitingBar radWaitingBar1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadWaitingBar();
            radWaitingBar1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(110, 38);
            radWaitingBar1.Name = "radWaitingBar1";
            radWaitingBar1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 15);
            radWaitingBar1.TabIndex = 0;
            radWaitingBar1.WaitingSpeed = 10;
            radWaitingBar1.ThemeClassName = "Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadWaitingBar";
            radWaitingBar1.ThemeName = "ControlDefault";
            radWaitingBar1.EndInit();
            this.Controls.Add(radWaitingBar1);
