Theme Issue: RadVScrollbar Added Dynamically

[Joshua Greenberg]

I'm having a theme issue regarding a rad scroll bar that is dynamically added to a custom component.

I have loaded the RadThemeManager and am able to check the count to see in fact that the RadThemeManager is loaded with our themes, everything looks to be loaded as expected.

I create the RadVScrollBar control and set correct the theme name.

However, when the page is loaded the scroll bar is still using the default theme.  Here are some code excerpts:

    public partial class ThumbViewer : RadPanel
    {
        public ThumbViewer()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // This will get all the themes loaded into a theme manager
            themeEngine = new APCM.App_Code.ThemeEngine();
            radThemeManager = themeEngine.GetControlThemes();
            MessageBox.Show(radThemeManager.LoadedThemes.Count.ToString());
            
            // Create and add the scrollbar
            scroll = new RadVScrollBar();
            scroll.ThemeName = "OurTheme";
            scroll.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
            scroll.ValueChanged += new EventHandler(scroll_ValueChanged);
            MessageBox.Show(scroll.ThemeName);
        }
    }

Like I said, the rad scroll bar is NOT loaded with the expected theme.

Thanks In Advance,
Josh

Hi Joshua Greenberg,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

I was able to reproduce it. It will be addressed in one of our next versions. For the time being, please set the ThemeName after the RadVScrollBar is added to the controls collection:

scroll = new RadVScrollBar();
scroll.BeginInit();
scroll.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
scroll.EndInit();
this.Controls.Add(scroll);
scroll.ThemeName = "ScrollBarCustomTheme";

I hope this helps. Your Telerik points account is updated for the report. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
