RadbuttonElement inside a RadMenuItem

[Leandro]

     Hey, I have a RadMenu, and what I'm trying to do is to put a RadButtonElement inside a RadMenuItem, but I can't find where and how to do it right, since it aways go to wrong position. This was my last try:

var item = new RadButtonElement
            {
                Text = "?",
                CaptureOnMouseDown = true,
                ShouldHandleMouseInput = true,
                StretchHorizontally = false,
                StretchVertically = true,
                NotifyParentOnMouseInput = false,
                Margin = new Padding(5),
                Alignment  = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight,
            };
            item.Font = new Font(item.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
            item.Click += Item_Click;
            btnCotacao.Layout.Children.Add(item);

Hello, Leandro,

Thank you for the provided code snippet.

Following the provided description it seems that you want to add the RadButtonElement after the text and align it to the right of the menu item. To achieve this you should add the RadButtonElement directly to the Children collection of the RadMenuItem, not to the Layout collection. Please refer to your code snippet updated:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    var item = new RadButtonElement
    {
        Text = "?",
        CaptureOnMouseDown = true,
        ShouldHandleMouseInput = true,
        StretchHorizontally = false,
        StretchVertically = true,
        NotifyParentOnMouseInput = false,
        Margin = new Padding(5),
        Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight,
    };
    item.Font = new Font(item.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
    item.Click += Item_Click;
   radMenuItem5.Children.Add(item);
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact me.

Nadya
