Checking the ValueSource of a RadProperty

1. Start RadControlspy (for example from the Examples application)
    
   
    
2. Pick and drop the Target cursor on the desired control.
1. Select an element from the element tree in the left.
2. Right click on the property of interest in the property grid
3. Click "Display Value Source Info" in the context menu
    
   
    
4. A message box will pop up showing the current value source of the selected property
    
    

II. The second way to find the value of a property is by using code:

1. Select the element of interest:
    

   RadElement borderElement = this.radButton1.RootElement.Children[0].Children[2];

   
    
2. Select one of its properties:
    

   RadProperty radProperty = borderElement.GetRegisteredRadProperty("ForeColor");

   
    
3. Get the value source for that property:
    

   ValueSource currentValueSource = borderElement.GetValueSource(radProperty);

   
    
4. Eventually show the value source:
    

   MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Value Source: {0}", currentValueSource.ToString()));
