Binding to RadPathButton PathGeometry Glyph

[Rob]

I've got the following buttons:

<telerik:RadPathButton Command="{Binding DoActionCommand}" PathGeometry="{telerik:RadGlyph Glyph={Binding Action.FontIcon}}" PathStyle="{StaticResource UniformPath}" Content="{Binding Action.Label}" ContentPlacement="Bottom" Margin="0,6,6,0" Padding="12" />

 

If I set the Glyph property to something like {StaticResource GlyphGear} then this works.  However when I try to bind to it, the button fails to render and as far as I can tell there is no error.  I have tried setting the bound value to the "" and "GlyphGear" and tried with and without the StringToGlyphConverter with no luck.  What am I missing?

Hello Rob,

Thank you for the provided code snippet. 

The Glyph property of the RadGlyph MarkupExtension is not a dependency property and it is not possible to bind to it. 

With this in mind, you can create a converter which will convert the glyph string into a Geometry. You can utilize the RadGlyph.GetGeometry method for this purpose. I am attaching a sample project demonstrating this approach for your reference. Please, check it out and let me know if it helps.

I am looking forward to your reply.
