How to change color of RadProgressBar Q1 2011

[Joe Sugden]

I have a dialog box with a RadWaitingBar and a RadProgressBar. Before upgrading to Telerik Q1 2011, both of my bars were blue. 

After upgrading, my RadProgressBar is now green as the default of the Office2010Silver theme (see attached). How do I change it back to blue?

Looking at my old designer code, it was set to blue using these lines, which now error out:

CType(Me.barProgress.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.ProgressBarPrimitive).BackColor2 = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(CType(CType(153, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(225, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(238, Byte), Integer))
CType(Me.barProgress.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.ProgressBarPrimitive).BackColor3 = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(CType(CType(4, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(187, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(208, Byte), Integer))
CType(Me.barProgress.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.ProgressBarPrimitive).BackColor4 = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(CType(CType(4, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(159, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(208, Byte), Integer))
CType(Me.barProgress.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.ProgressBarPrimitive).BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(CType(CType(153, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(219, Byte), Integer), CType(CType(238, Byte), Integer))

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi Joe,

Thank you for writing and for the attached code.

We changed the inner structure of the RadPropgressBar in Q1 2011 as we are trying constantly to improve our controls. You can change the code you have sent me with the following:

Me.RadProgressBar1.ProgressBarElement.IndicatorElement1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(153, 225, 238)
Me.RadProgressBar1.ProgressBarElement.IndicatorElement1.BackColor2 = Color.FromArgb(4, 187, 208)
Me.RadProgressBar1.ProgressBarElement.IndicatorElement1.BackColor3 = Color.FromArgb(4, 159, 208)
Me.RadProgressBar1.ProgressBarElement.IndicatorElement1.BackColor4 = Color.FromArgb(153, 219, 238)

This will make the progress indicator have the blue colors you want.

I hope this will help. If you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

All the best,

Hello Nermond,

Thank you for writing.

I am not able to reproduce the issue with the version of the controls you are using. I would kindly ask you to send me a sample project where you reproduce the issue so I can thoroughly investigate it. Please note that you have to open a new support ticket in order to be able to attach your files.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,
