Hello toto rto,
In Silverlight - Applying the control's template is not ensured to be present before the Loaded event of the Control. Which means that is possible in some cases to have Loaded event before the actual ApplyTemplate has passed (this is true for all controls, not only for telerik ones). But before the applying of template has passed, you can not depend on the visual tree (it is not build yet).
To ensure that the template is applied, you can call the
this.ApplyTemplate() just before the code that depend on the template.
Hope everything will be correct this way.
Kind regards,
Miro Miroslavov
the Telerik team
