IsEnabled Property on Object Databinding

[Rich Reuter]

I have a scenario where I'm binding a custom list of custom objects to a RadPanelBar using a custom control template and a HierarchicalDataTemplate to style the elements of the RadPanelBar - specifically, I'm styling the colors, fonts and backgrounds.  None of the layout elements have significantly changed.

The issue that I'm having is that I want to disable some of the items in the list based upon the IsEnabled property that exists on my objects.  Originally, I was using a ListBox with the same ItemsSource and that worked fine.  Is there somewhere on the custom layout that I need to declare and bind IsEnabled?

Hello Rich,

Yes, you have to bind your business property to the RadPanelBar's IsEnabled property. In order to do this you can create a Style targeting the RadPanelBarItem and apply the binding like this:

<Style TargetType="telerik:RadPanelBarItem">
 <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding MyCustomIsEnabledProperty}"/>
</Style>

Please give this approach a try and let us know if you need further assistance.

Kind regards,
