Header item selected event

[Oliver]

Hi,

in my RadOutLookBar, I have mutltiple group section, for each section, I have multiple buttons. When the user click on an header group item, I show a graphical representation of his stats, if the user click on a button attach to the group, I display a grid. If the user want his graphic back, he cannot just click on the group header item again because the selection_changed event wasn't fired.

What is the best approach the handle this?

Thank's

Hi Oliver,

You can use the MouseLeftButtonDown event of the RadOutlookBar and check what is the Control that you have clicked on. Please note that this event is handled by the Selection events but you can easily use it if you define it like so:

this.myOutlookBar.AddHandler(RadOutlookBar.MouseLeftButtonDownEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(MyEventHandlerName),true)

You can also check out this msdn article for further reference.
Please let us know if you need further assistance on this.All the best,

Hi,

with this solution, of course, the user can click onto the header to get his graphic back but if he click back on the item itself in the RadOutlookBar, it doesn't work :(

Thank's

Hello Oliver,

 Is it possible for you to send us your XAML and the exact desired result when clicking on the different parts of the RadOutlookbarItem? This way we would be better able to advice you and think up something elegant. Thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Hi,

what I'm trying to do is, when the user click on an RadOutlookBarItem, I want to show him a graphic as a default representation regarding his selection. At this moment, the RadOutlookBar deploy the selected item section. After that, the user can click on different buttons in the section so at this point, I remove the graphic to display another control. If the user want is graphic back, he cannot just click on the same RadOutlookBarItem to get his graphic back. He have two choices, the first one is to click on the header of the deployed section or the second one, he have to select another RadOutlookBarItem and select back the RadOutlookBarItem from which he eant his graphic representation.

 

Here is the XAML:

Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"

<telerik:RadOutlookBarItem Header="To send" FontWeight="Bold" />

 

 

 

<telerik:RadOutlookBarItem Header="To receive" FontWeight="Bold" />

 Please examine the attached project where the PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event is used and let us know if it satisfies you. Thank you in advance.
