Is there a way to add a button on a PanelBarGroupElement and control its visibility.

[Khizar Khan]

I have 10 panelbargroupelements and when the mouse is hovering on each of them there should a button visible and enabled to click, otherwise it should not be visible.

also, on click of the button I want to get which groupelement was clicked.
thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Khizar Khan,

Thank you for writing.

RadPanelBar does not support adding buttons into group captions out of the box. However, you can implement this feature using the hierarchy of RadElements. I have prepared a small sample application that demonstrates this approach. Please, find it as an attachment to this message. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Khizar Khan,

I am not sure if I understand your requirement very well, but RadPanelBar does not supports hipper link text out of the box. However, you can make the text underlined and use Hand cursor to mimicry hiper-link:

Font _fontPrototype;

void SubscribeEvents()
{
    this.radPanelBar1.LoadElementTree();
    int i = 0;

    foreach (RadPanelBarGroupElement element in this.radPanelBar1.Items)
    {
        element.Caption = String.Format("Group {0}", i++);
        RadPanelBarVisualElement visualElement = element.GetCaptionElement();
        if (_fontPrototype == null)
        {
            _fontPrototype = visualElement.Font;
        }

        visualElement.MouseEnter+=new EventHandler(visual_MouseEnter);
        visualElement.MouseLeave+=new EventHandler(visual_MouseLeave);
    }
}

void visual_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadPanelBarVisualElement visualElement = (RadPanelBarVisualElement)sender;
    visualElement.Font = _fontPrototype;
    this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
}

void visual_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadPanelBarVisualElement visualElement = (RadPanelBarVisualElement)sender;
    visualElement.Font = new Font(_fontPrototype, FontStyle.Underline);
    this.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
}

Let me know if you need additional assistance.
