Move DescriptionTextListDataItem Separator Line

[Greg]

I'm currently using a RadDropDownList with a set of DescriptionTextListDataItems in DropDownList mode and it looks great except that it's drawing a thin gray separator line between the item text and the item description like this:

Text
----------
Description
Text
----------
Description

Is there a way to remove this separator line and to have a separator line between the list items? What I'm looking for is something like this:

Text
Description
----------
Text
Description

I'm not sure the way I'm doing it now is correct or the preferred way.

private void SearchTypeList_CreatingVisualListItem(object sender, CreatingVisualListItemEventArgs e)
{
    e.VisualItem.BorderColor = SystemColors.Control;
    //e.VisualItem.Children[0].Children[1].Children[1].ShouldPaint = false;

    foreach(var child in e.VisualItem.Children)
    {
        if(child is StackLayoutElement)
        {
            foreach(var child1 in child.Children)
            {
                if(child1 is StackLayoutElement)
                {
                    foreach(var child2 in child1.Children)
                    {
                        if(child2 is LinePrimitive)
                        {
                            child2.ShouldPaint = false;
                            return;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for writing.

You should set the DescriptionTextListVisualItem Visibility property to Hidden. Suitable place to do this is VisualListItemFormatting event. For example:

this.radDropDownList1.VisualListItemFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.VisualListItemFormattingEventHandler(radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting);

void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args)
{
            DescriptionTextListVisualItem item = args.VisualItem as DescriptionTextListVisualItem;
            if (item != null)
            {
                item.Separator.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            }
}

I hope this helps. Greetings,
