I can't seem to get RadMenuItems to be drawn with the arrow next to them when they are top level menus. They show in the designer when I change the item's ShowArrow property to true.
I also want to be able to Edit UI Items and change the arrow direction to down and change the arrow's color. After I get done in the designer, it looks great, but when I run I get no arrows, and sometimes when rebuilding the project, the arrow direction does not stay on my selection at design-time.

Hi Adam,
Thank you for contacting us.
You should set explicitly the ShowArrow property to true in order to make the arrow visible in the main menu. Additionally you can change the arrow direction by accessing the ArrowPrimitive through the Layout property of RadMenuItem.
Take a look at the code snippet below:
Use the following code to change the arrow color :
I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance.

| this.radMenuItem1.Layout.ArrowPrimitive.Direction = Telerik.WinControls.ArrowDirection.Down; |
Use the following code to change the arrow color :
| this.radMenuItem1.Layout.ArrowPrimitive.ForeColor = Color.Yellow; |

Sorry, I am not seeing the behavior of explicitly setting RadMenuItem.ShowArrow = true causing the arrows to show. I have not been able to get the arrow to show up at all.
Steps I took for the simplest case:
1. Create new VS 2008 Windows Forms Application Project
2. Drag and Drop a RadMenu onto Form1
3. Add a RadMenuItem to the menu by typing in the "Type here" box
4. Select the RadMenuItem I just created
5. Changed the property "ShowArrow" to True
6. See arrows in the designer
7. Run Project, no arrows on the menu item
8. In the Form1 constructor, add the line radMenuItem1.ShowArrow = true;
9. Run Project, no arrows on the menu item

Hi Adam,
You should set the ShowArrow property through code after calling the InitializeComponent in Form's constructor or inside the Form.Load event. You should also reset the ShowArrow property to its default value at design time. We have logged this issue and it will be addressed in one of our upcoming releases.
Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Jack

Setting ShowArrow = false in the designer is the trick that finally did it. Thank you for your help.

Hi.
I have a problem setting the ShowArrow property to false on menu items that I add at runtime. The menu system exists in a UserControl which I have added to a RadForm at design time.
Any ideas?

Hi Jorge Delgado-Lopez,
Thanks for writing back and for your project. I took a look at it but I am not quite sure that I correctly understand the case. You are setting the ShowArrow property to false and no arrow is displayed when I run the project. I think this is the expected behavior. Could you please share with us which version of our product are you using and what is the behavior that you expect?
Thanks for your time and do not hesitate to get back to us in case you have further questions or need assistance.

Hello Jorge Delgado-Lopez,
You should have no issues with hiding the arrow from the main menu items using the ShowArrow property. Let me know if you have further questions on this topic.
All the best,
