Theme?

[Kenny]

Hello all,

Are there any built-in themes for RadExpander? And what are the advantages of it over the Expander from the WPF framework?

Thanks,

Kenny.

Hi Kenny,

The benefit from the RadExpander is that it is styled as the rest of the Telerik controls and fits in your application without the need to define custom style.

RadExpander has all the themes that the rest of the controls has - Vusta, OfficeBlack and Summer. We are working on 2 new themes for the Q2 release - Simple and OfficeBlue/OfficeSilver.

Thanks for the info. Do I need to reference any additional DLL for the themes? I've tried to set the StyleManager.Theme to the 3 available themes but they all look the same to me. As the moment, they looks like the built-in look of the WPF framework expander.

Thanks again,

Kenny.

You can see a sample in the attached file. I hope this will get you started.

Thanks  a lot for the example. I'll take a look and hopefully I can start customizing it.
