Disable panel sections

[Andy Green]

Hi

Is it possible to disable the content area of a PanelBar ie the RadPanelItem section., such that anything in the content are cant be clicked, but the sections can be expanded and collapsed.

Hello,

An easy and convenient way of achieving this functionality would be set all sub items Enabled property to false as shown in the code snippet:
//markup code

<telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Item 1">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Item 1" Enabled="false"></telerik:RadPanelItem>
                <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Item 2" Enabled="false"></telerik:RadPanelItem>
                <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Item 3" Enabled="false"></telerik:RadPanelItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadPanelItem>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Item 2"></telerik:RadPanelItem>
        <telerik:RadPanelItem Text="Item 3"></telerik:RadPanelItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>

Unfortunately this doesn't do what I need. If you set enable=false here you can't hide and show the area, I want to be able to still expand & hide the panel.

I have places all content in a panel control and set the panel enable=false. Just would have been cool if I could have done it with the control.

Hello,

Indeed if you set the parent item property Enabled to false, this will disable the expand & hide functionality of the parent item. Therefore I have set Enabled to false to its child items, so the parent item still could be expanded and collapsed. If this is not the functionality that you want to achieve, please elaborate a bit more on your scenario. Could you please clarify what exactly is your parent item's content that you want to disable?
