Set style on programatically added buttons

[Chad]

How can I set the style on buttons I add programatically?

I have the toolbar defined like so:

<toolbar:RadToolbarTray
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
x:Name="screenToolbar"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
telerikControls:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7" />

Then I add buttons like this:

var button = new Button();
tbar.Items.Add(button); //tbar is a toolbar object

The buttons don't pick up the style of the tray... on the 
silverlight side, I explicitly set the style of the button 
before I add it to the toolbar (app resource), but I don't 
see a way to pick up the toolbar button styles from the StyleManager...

Thanks --

Hello Chad,

I sent an answer to the support ticket you sent, but I will post it here as well:

If a Telerik theme is applied to a RadToolBar, then all RadToolBar items (including newly added ones) should inherit this theme. However, if a theme is applied to the RadToolBarTray, it won't be applied to its content.

I prepared a sample project illustrating this behavior. Can you please have a look at it and let me know if it works for you. Also, if I am missing something, please modify the sample to reproduce your issue and I will gladly investigate it further.

If I create a userControl with buttons on it and I want to add that userControl to the toolbar, how do I get it to pick up the styles of the toolbar?

Thank you.

Is it not also true that the new button must be a RadButton or it will have to be explicitly styled if generic?

Hi Allen,

The RadToolBar has predefined styles for both RadButton and Button (System.Windows.Controls.Button). So you don't need explicit style if you use Button. Please let us know if this is what you are actually asking. Hoe it helped you.
