Issue with top caption

I'm running into a problem with the caption of the group has odd alignment when the form loads. I am using the OutlookNavPane style.

I am programmatically expanding and selecting the first group panel group with code like this:


Everything looks fine  at first as the caption at the top of the PanelBar is correctly named but it is not centered. Manually clicking the panel group button the text centers. I'm not sure what is causing this, but I'd like it display properly when the form loads.

Has anyone experienced this or have a workaround/fix for this?

Hi Schmidty,

Thank you for writing us.

I have tested your scenario, but unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce the erroneous behavior. However, I have prepared for you a sample code snippet which will show you how to manually change the text alignment of the RadPanelBar's caption.


 
This sample code snippet creates a new RadPanelBar instance in outlook style. Then I add three group elements and select the first one. Finally, I change the text alignment of RadPanelBar's caption.

Please let me know if you need more assistance.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Hi Boyko,

I've compiled a test application that reproduces the issue I described. I'll create a support ticket so I can submit the code.

Thanks,

Hello Schmidty,

I debugged your code and I confirm the described behavior. In order to center the text correctly, please remove the serialized CaptionTextFont property value from the designer.cs file. If you want to set the CaptionTextFont, please set it runtime after the InitializeComponent. 

I have updated your Telerik ponts for the report. Please write me back if you need more help.
