Displaying the Image Alone in a radButton

[Derek]

Is there a way to have a radButton only display as an image? I have an image that i would like to use as a button alone, but I can't seem to get the radButton borders to go away and the radButton background color to become transparent. 

Help?

Hello Derek,

Thank you for writing.

Here is how you can hide the border and the fill of the button:

radButton1.ButtonElement.ShowBorder = false;
radButton1.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

I hope this helps.

What about for radDropDownButton??

Hello Trey,

Thank you for writing.

You could reach the same effect for a RadDropDownButton element by setting the following properties:

BorderPrimitive borderEl = this.radDropDownButton2.DropDownButtonElement.BorderElement as BorderPrimitive;
borderEl.ShouldPaint = false;
this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownButtonElement.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownButtonElement.ArrowButton.Fill.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

If you would like to also hide the arrow, you should additionally set the ShowArrow ​property to false.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hi Hristo,

 

I am trying to  display image ​alonne on RadDropDownButton.

I am using 2014 Q2 dlls. I don't see DropDownButtonElement property on RadDropDownButton instance mentioned in the earlier reply.

Could you please help me here?

Hi Sirisha,

Thank you for writing.

The RadDropDownButtonElement is a RadElement descendant and as such is an integral part of how our controls are built, more on TPF: Telerik Presentation Framework. 

The element is part of the 2014 version, it, however, cannot be accessed from the properties tab in the designer of Visual Studio. If you would like to perform modifications at design-time, you would need to use our Element Hierarchy Editor. For reference, I am also sending you a screenshot.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
