Can book background be made transparent?

[Blasty]

I'm using .png files for my book pages, but I can't get a transparent background on the page,   Setting the background to transparent leaves me with a white background. 


Also it seems that the book doesn't listen for property changes, trying to bind the rightpageindex to the index of say a corresponding listbox doesn't work.   Or using the MVVM pattern, and binding the rightpageindex to a property that fires notifyproperty change has no effect.  Any help on these two issues?

Hello Blasty,

If your RadBook is bound, you will have to set its ItemContainerStyle property.

<telerikNavigation:RadBook>
    <telerikNavigation:RadBook.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="telerikNavigation:RadBookItem">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
            <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5" />
        </Style>
    </telerikNavigation:RadBook.ItemContainerStyle>
</telerikNavigation:RadBook>

I have attached a sample project that also demonstrates how changing the SelectedIndex property of a ListBox affects the RightPageIndex of a RadBook. Also, if your scenario allows it, I'd recommend updating your binaries with our latest internal build since few issues with RadBook have been fixed.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

interesting, your project works fine,and mine, not so much, gonna try to redo some of the design of my project, I think my issues may be coming from somewhere else.  I'll update this thread with my results, but your demo app worked fine.

that worked fine.  Seemed to be an issue with using MVVM in silverlight...not sure why at this point.
