Hello Anucha,

Thank you for writing.

The control you are talking about was developed for internal use and it is not part of the controls we offer with the suite, hence we do not provide support for it as well. 

However all customers of ours have access to our source code where they can find the implementation of the control under Examples -> QuickStart project -> Expanders folder.

Hope this helps.

I couldn't find the expander folder under QuickStart folder in the Winforms demo project.

After researching further, I was able to see the Expander object in the QuickStart.Wincontrols object from object browser but how can we consume that control. Do we have code which we can use to create our own Expander?

Got it Thanks. I was trying to add to the MDI Form and set theme for the application "Metro" and expander theme getting messed up. Also I couldn't able to add clickevent to the RadListElement so I can open a window on the click even.

Hello,

Thank you for writing back.

In order to modify the style from the previous sample project I have attached, it is necessary to customize ExamplesBlue_QuickStart_ControlsExpander.xml and ExamplesBlue.xml, located in Resources, on a way to obtain the desired style.

As to the question about Click event of list element, you are allowed to add Click event of each VisualItem of the menu. For this purpose it is necessary to add it in ControlsExpanderElement class -> list_CreatingVisualItem event:

void list_CreatingVisualItem(object sender, CreatingVisualListItemEventArgs args)
{
    args.VisualItem = new DemoAppVisualListElement();
    args.VisualItem.Click+=VisualItem_Click;
}

private void VisualItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    new Form1().Show();
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Thanks. I got something working by tapping on to ControlExpander.ControlsList.SelectIndexChanged.
