MinimizedOutlookBarItem is highlighted although the selection was aborted

[Rainer]

Hello,

If I cancel the selection of an item within the PreviewSelectionChanged event of the RadOutlookBar there are different behaviors depending on where the selection was made.

1) Selection in the 'normal' items-area -> Everthing is fine. The selected Item stays highlighted.
2) Selection in the MinimizedArea -> The wrong item gets highlighted.

Is it possible to workaround this ?

Regards
Rainer

Here is the sample-code:

<telerik:RadOutlookBar x:Name="obMenu"
               PreviewSelectionChanged="obMenu_PreviewSelectionChanged">
    <telerik:RadOutlookBarItem Header="Item 1">
        <Border Background="Blue">
            <TextBlock Text="Item1"/>
        </Border>
    </telerik:RadOutlookBarItem>
    <telerik:RadOutlookBarItem Header="Item 2">
        <Border Background="Green">
            <TextBlock Text="Item1"/>
        </Border>
    </telerik:RadOutlookBarItem>
    <telerik:RadOutlookBarItem Header="Item 3">
        <Border Background="Red">
            <TextBlock Text="Item1"/>
        </Border>
    </telerik:RadOutlookBarItem>
</telerik:RadOutlookBar>

private void obMenu_PreviewSelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) {
    if (MessageBoxResult.Yes == MessageBox.Show("Cancel selection ?", "Cancel", MessageBoxButton.YesNo, MessageBoxImage.Question)) {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

Hi Rainer,

 Unfortunately, this is a known bug in the RadOutlookBar (both WPF and SL). We have previously logged it in our PITS(OutlookBar: Canceling the selection of a minimized item doesn't work as expected). Actually , the cancelling of selection succeeds but visually , the selection colors are not reflected. Currently, there are no existing elegant workarounds for this issue. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

All the best,
