Hello Joe,

Having looked more closely at the CommandBarButton, in my view there has been an ommision.

The CommandBarButton has all the normal properties of a RadButton or other items that allow an Image and Text to be set. For example, you can set a TextImageRelation etc.. But, in a RadButton you can normally set a DisplayStyle which tells the control if it should render as Text, Image or Both. the DisplayStyle is not part of the CommandBarButton and I think it should be there. this link indicates text and image can be combined.

If you want a text only button there is a simple way around it, which also answers your second question on using a host item.

You can add a host item in the same way as you add other items to the Command Bar, but the host item is just a placeholder, ready for you to add a RadElement to it. So, to add a RadButtonElement with just text on to the RadCommandBar, then you can do the following


I hope this helps, but let me know if you need more information

Hello Joe,

I don't think you've reviewed this yet, which I am thankful for as I have given you some incorrect information.
The DisplayStyle property is the normal property that is used to set the text / Image style of a RadButton and most other items that contain text and image, but in the case of the new RadCommandBar you need to set a new property called DrawText

So, to have a text only button you would specify the following:

I hope this, together with my previous sample of adding a HostedItem has helped, but do let me know if you need more information. And apologies for the previous incorrect information.

regards,
Richard
