[Solved] Editing RadPanelGroup style

[Ângelo Moreira]

Hey, i was trying to edit the style of the RadPanelGroup to remove the DropDown menu, since I don’t want to give my users such options.

So, with Microsoft Expression Blend 4 I made a copy of the RadPanelGroup template to edit its style (RadPanelGroup -> Edit Template -> Edit a copy…)

Then, inside this Style I navigate to the HeaderElement and created a new copy of the Style Template (HeaderElement -> Edit Template -> Edit a copy…)

After that I started having these errors:

The resource “ButtonIconBackground_Disabled” could not be resolved.

The resource “ButtonIconForeground_MouseOver” could not be resolved.

The resource “ButtonIconBackground_MouseOver” could not be resolved.

(…)

So, what’s the best way to resolve this error? Or the best way to remove the dropdown option of the RadPanelGroup?

Hello Ângelo,

If you need to hide the drop down menu, which is actually a context menu, you do not need to alter the control template of the RadPaneGroup. You can simply set the ContextMenuTemplate property of the RadPane to null:

<telerikDocking:RadPane Header="Pane 1" ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}"/>

I hope this helps.


Kind regards,
