How do I set group height for *root-level* items?

[Ed]

I know that you can control the height of various child nodes in the RadPanelBar item tree by using the ChildGroupHeight property; for example:

    foreach (RadPanelItem rpi2 in rpbLHNav.Items)
    {
        // set height of second-level items
        if (rpi2.Items.Count > 7)
        {
            rpi2.ChildGroupHeight = Unit.Pixel(250);
        }
        // set height of third-level items
        foreach (RadPanelItem rpi3 in rpi2.Items)
        {
            if (rpi3.Items.Count > 11)
            {
                rpi3.ChildGroupHeight = Unit.Pixel(250);
            }
        }
        ...
    }

Is there a way to control the height of the root items (i.e., those in rpbLHNav.Items) in a similar way?  (The ChildGroupHeight property is missing from the RadPanelBar object.)

Hey Ed,

Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for... but it looks like you can set the height of each individual rpi2, for example:

...
 foreach (RadPanelItem rpi2 in RadPanelBar1.Items)
        {
            rpi2.Height = Unit.Pixel(90);
            // set height of second-level items
            if (rpi2.Items.Count > 3)
...

When this runs through, each root item height is changed (since you're already going through the list of items I only had to add one line of code to your example :D).  Does that fit the bill for what you're looking for?

Hi Serrin,

Thanks a lot for your reply.  It isn't quite what I needed but I see that I didn't explain it very clearly!

I need to set the group height for a set of items, rather than the individual height of each one.  This is because the skin I am using (similar to the Inox skin) creates a scroll-bar if a group of child items goes beyond the specified height.  My panel bar has several root items, and so I need a way of setting a height limit for these (collectively) so that the scroll-bar appears if they go beyond it.

Cheers,

Ed
