Hello

I use  the RadPanelBar control
I build the hirarchy in the xaml page
some of the items have no children but thy still have the arrow (<) in the side
how can I remove it?

here is the code

<telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar x:Name="pb" Margin="5" Width="180" BorderBrush="#9098a3"
                    BorderThickness="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ExpandMode="Multiple">
            <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem>
                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
                    <TextBlock Text="מבט ענף" Height="13" Margin="5 2 5 2" />
                </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="תוכניות עבודה" />
                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="ממתינות לתקצוב" />
                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="הצעות לתוכנית" />
            </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem>
            <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem>
                <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
                    <TextBlock Text="מבט מחלקה" Height="13" Margin="5 2 5 2" />
                </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
                    <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="תוכניות עבודה" />
                    <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="ממתינות לתקצוב" />
                    <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem Header="הצעות לתוכנית" />
                </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem>
                        <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem IsEnabled="True">
                    <telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
                        <TextBlock Text="ניהול המערכת" Height="13" Margin="5 2 5 2" />
                    </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem.Header>
                </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBarItem>

        </telerikNavigation:RadPanelBar>

Thanks.

Hello Orit,

It is a known issue that items without any children still have the expander arrow visible. This issue is scheduled for fixing and will resolved in our 2009 Q3 release.

With the current binaries what you can do is manually change the template of items that have no children. I prepared a sample project that demonstrates how to do that. Please take a look at it and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! It looks great
But there is a little bug
when I select an item
and then select the empty item
the last item is still "open" and has the orange color
(looks like its selected)

I am using RadControls for WPF Q2 2010 and still experience this issue with an empty (without children) RadPanelBarItem still showing the expander arrow.  Do I still need to manually change the template of items with no children or is there an easier way to overcome this problem?

Thank you,
César

Hi César,

Currently there are two approaches that can be used to remove the expander arrow on RadPanleBarItems that don't contain more items. For more information, you can check this forum post.

However, we are currently working on improving the RadPanelBar control so stay tuned for updates.
