Problem in StripElement Visible/Collapsed

[Franco]

Good morning.
    I have a CommandBar with 5 strips in it. Note I don't want users to rearrange the strips, so in my real project I removed this possibility. I run the project and I see all the 5 strips, see image1.png attached file. Now I set Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed for strips 2, 3 and 5. The strip disappears but strip 4 stays where it is. So I try with strip4.DesiredLocation = Pointf.Empty, and the behavior is what I want (see image2.png). When I set Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible again (for strips 2, 3 and 5), the order of the strips is messed up, and is 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, but I wanted to get them exactly in the previous order. How can I solve this problem?

Thank you
Gianfranco

Hello Franco,

Thank you for writing.

You should save the commandBarStripElement4's DesiredLocation before setting it to Point.Empty. Later, when showing back the strips, set the DesiredLocation property to the saved value:

PointF saveLocation;
private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    commandBarStripElement2.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
    commandBarStripElement3.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
    commandBarStripElement5.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
    saveLocation = commandBarStripElement4.DesiredLocation;
    commandBarStripElement4.DesiredLocation = Point.Empty;
}

private void radButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    commandBarStripElement2.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Visible;
    commandBarStripElement3.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Visible;
    commandBarStripElement5.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Visible;
    commandBarStripElement4.DesiredLocation = saveLocation;
}

I hope this helps.
