SubMenuItem BackgroundColor

[yelong]

I'd like to know how to change the background color for submenuitem.

The code below doesn't work for radMenuItem11.

Thanks,

Yelong

<telerikNavigation:RadMenu x:Name="radMenu">
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem1" Header="MenuItem1">
                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem11" Header="MenuItem11"> </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem12" Header="MenuItem12"> </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem13" Header="MenuItem13"></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem14" Header="MenuItem14"></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem2" Header="MenuItem1"></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="radMenuItem3" Header="MenuItem1"></telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
        </telerikNavigation:RadMenu>


            this.radMenuItem1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue); //works
            this.radMenuItem1.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red); //works
            this.radMenuItem11.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue); //works
            this.radMenuItem11.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red); //Doesn't work

Hello yelong,

Thank you for reporting this.
It turns out that we missed the binding to background in some of the RadMenuItem control templates.
We will fix it for SP1.
I've updated your telerik points.

Hi Hristo,

Thanks for your reply.

If you are working on the fix, maybe you would like to know another issue.

If you put an icon in submenuitem and set the image size 32 x 32, the left side margin column is not extended with the icon size. It worked well in previous versions.

It will be great if it can be fixed with the next SP.

Thanks,

Yelong

Hello yelong,

This is a design issue. You have to edit your pictures in a graphic editor in order to make them bigger than 16x16px.

Sorry, I didn't understand you. My pictures original size is bigger than 16x16. Do you mean I need to do something to fix it? If yes, what shall I do exactly? Or you will provide a fix in next release?

Thanks,

Yelong

Hi Dimitrina,

Thank you very much for you help.

I use the template you provided in the UserControl.Resources, It works great now.

My next question is:
Will you set this template as default effect in the next release? It's what I prefer, then I can wait for the release.
Or if not, I will add the template in my xmal's UserControl.Resources.

Thanks,

Yelong

Hi yelong,

For the time being, we do not plan to make this template default. However, if this appears to be a common client request, we will definitely make this template the default one.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your reply. I will embed the template in my app's resource, no problem.

But just let you know, it WAS the default in previouse one or serveral release.

Our application behaved well and broke since upgrade.

Hope you won't change any default behaviour any more later.

Thanks,

Yelong
