Highlight a RadSplitButton

[Jean-Marc Windholz]

Dear forum,
I would like to know if it is possible to highlight a RadSplitButton and fix the highlighting also when I move the mouse out from the button.
I try to explain better: now the RadSplitButton  becomes highlight only when I move over it, I would like to fix the highlight clickink on it,
like a ToggleButton, to permit me to understand which one of the RadSplitButtons of my radribbonbar is actived in this moment.
It should be the same situation of a group of ToggleButton in a group.

thank you

Hello,

i'm looking into how to change the IsMouseOver for the RadSplitButton which I have been trying to do in a similar manner to this forum post but as yet with no luck.

However, I have managed to change the fill color of the main button section which you may find useful.

Me.RadSplitButton1.DropDownButtonElement.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.BackColor = Color.Orange
Me.RadSplitButton1.DropDownButtonElement.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid

Hope that helps
Richard

Sorry, I mistook in my description ,
 I'm using  RadSplitButtonElement  and the DropDownButtonElement doesn't exist.

Hello Jean-Marc,

In that case, it's almost as above..

RadSplitButtonElement.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.BackColor = Color.Orange 
RadSplitButtonElement.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid


hope that helps

thank you for help me.
The solution is good  but I'm still looking a way to obtain the same effect of a radToggleButton when it is selected.

best regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

for a ToggleButton, you can use the following:

Private Sub RadToggleButton2_ToggleStateChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal args As Telerik.WinControls.UI.StateChangedEventArgs) Handles RadToggleButton2.ToggleStateChanged
    If Me.RadToggleButton2.ToggleState = Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.On Then
        Me.RadToggleButton2.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.BackColor = Color.Blue
        Me.RadToggleButton2.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid
    Else
        Me.RadToggleButton2.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local)
        Me.RadToggleButton2.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local)
    End If
End Sub

Let me know if that helps or you need more information

Hello,

You could also use one of these:

element.ActionButton.IsMouseDown = true;
//or
element.ActionButton.IsMouseOver = true;

To avoid overwriting the backcolor of the button, in order to simulate a click or a mouse down, depends on the case

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
