Trying out buttons in Telerik

[Anders T]

i cant seem to find a whole lot of info about how it works, are there beginner guides to the telerik wpf?
I downloaded 30days trial demo, but it just shows gui? The gui needs to be connected to my code behind, and this connection is what i cant find.
One thing i wanted to try was to make a button unEnabled after you press it, should be easy? I've tried a couple of things and none seems to work, please tell me what im doing wrong!

<Views:CustomViewBase.RibbonInformation>
    <entities:RibbonInformation Header="Operation">
        <entities:RibbonInformation.RibbonGroups>
            <telerik:RadRibbonGroup  x:Name="UIRibbonToolbar"  Header="Controls">

                <telerik:RadRibbonButton Text="Back"
                                         Size="Large"
                                         LargeImage="/Images/Back.bmp"
                                         Click="RadRibbonButton_Click_Back"
                                         Name="RadRibbonButton_Back"
                                         IsEnabled="True"/>
                <telerik:RadRibbonButton Text="Play"
                                         Size="Large"
                                         LargeImage="/Images/Play.bmp"
                                         Click="RadRibbonButton_Click_Play"
                                         Name="RadRibbonButton_Play"
                                         IsEnabled="True"/>
                <telerik:RadRibbonButton Text="Stop"
                                         Size="Large"
                                         LargeImage="/Images/Stop.bmp"
                                         Click="RadRibbonButton_Click_Stop"
                                         Name="RadRibbonButton_Stop"
                                         IsEnabled="True"/>

            </telerik:RadRibbonGroup>
        </entities:RibbonInformation.RibbonGroups>
    </entities:RibbonInformation>
</Views:CustomViewBase.RibbonInformation>

XAML

private void RadRibbonButton_Click_Stop(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.IsEnabled = false;
    MessageBox.Show("Stop Button Pressed");
}
private void RadRibbonButton_Click_Play(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.IsEnabled = false;
    MessageBox.Show("Play Button Pressed");
}
private void RadRibbonButton_Click_Back(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.IsEnabled = false;
    MessageBox.Show("Back Button Pressed");
}

Hi Anders,

As far as I understand you have RadRibbonView control and you want to disable one of its buttons when you click on them. If so your approach is correct. However, I noticed that in your Click event handler you set the IsEnabled property of the wrong element. Basically (in a simple scenario) if you say this the framework understands the MainWindow. In your case you need to cast the sender object to a RadRibbonButton and after that you can set its IsEnabled property to False. You can implement this approach like this:

private void RadRibbonButton_Click_Stop(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    (sender as RadRibbonButton).IsEnabled = false;
    MessageBox.Show("Stop Button Pressed");
}

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,
