How do I set Text for the Application button?

Using Office 2010 theme, it only shows the blue tab with the selected image. I can remove the image, but have found no way to set Text.

Hello,

You can set text on this button in the same way as other RadButtonElements. For exmaple:

this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Image = null;

this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Text = "App";

this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.DisplayStyle = Telerik.WinControls.DisplayStyle.Text;

Hope this helps but let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks.

There seems to be a small display problem with the Office 2010 Silver theme. As shown in the attached picture, the File tab overlaps the Settings tab. As soon I click on another window, it settle back into place.

Hello,

I haven't been able to replicate your issue. Please can you post a small sample that demonstrates how to replicate this.

Using VS 2010 and Windows 7 Ultimate.

Here is the code:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using TelerikTest;



namespace TelerikLocalizationTest

{

    static class Program

    {

        /// <summary>

        /// The main entry point for the application.

        /// </summary>

        [STAThread]

        static void Main()

        {

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();

            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

            Application.Run(new ToolboxForm2());

        }

    }

}

And the designer:

namespace TelerikTest

{

    partial class ToolboxForm2

    {

        /// <summary>

        /// Required designer variable.

        /// </summary>

        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;



        /// <summary>

        /// Clean up any resources being used.

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>

        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

        {

            if (disposing && (components != null))

            {

                components.Dispose();

            }

            base.Dispose(disposing);

        }

Sorry, I forgot the actual Form code:

using Telerik.WinControls;



namespace TelerikTest

{

    public partial class ToolboxForm2 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRibbonForm

    {

        public ToolboxForm2()

        {

            InitializeComponent();



            ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Office2010Silver";



            radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Image = null;

            radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.Text = "File";

            radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.ApplicationButtonElement.DisplayStyle = Telerik.WinControls.DisplayStyle.Text;

        }

    }

}

There must be a difference that I haven't spotted yet. Let me know how that one looks.

I found it:

this.TopMost = true;

If I remove this line, it works fine.

Hello,

Glad you have found the issue. As you suggested, I'd agree that this is a bug in the theme. This should be reported via a bug report (support ticket). If you're unable to do that, then let me know and I'll send one off.
Thanks
Richard

Hi pacarrier,

Indeed, there is an issue with the Office2010Silver theme of the RadRibbonBar whet it is put on a topmost form. The issue will be addressed in the next release. For the time being, I can provide you with the following workaround. Just override the OnShown method of your form and set the following property:

protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)

{

base.OnShown(e);

this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.VisualState = "RadTabStripElement";

}

Your Telerik points have been updated for bringing this issue to our attention.

I hope this helps. Feel free to write back if you have any further questions.

Best wishes,

Hello Luis,

Here is the VB equivalent of the code in my previous post:

Public Class Form1

    Protected Overrides Sub OnShown(e As System.EventArgs)

        MyBase.OnShown(e)

        Me.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.VisualState = "RadTabStripElement"

    End Sub

End Class

As you can see from this example, the OnShown method should be placed in your form's class.

I hope this will help you. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions.
