RadCheckBox focus by tab

[Kuba]

Hi.
I would like to achieve highlight of checkbox to be the same as mouse hover when I focus on checkbox with tab button. VisualStyleBuilder doesn't support this (or I just can't see this option). How can I achieve my goal?
Cheers,
Kuba.

Hi Kuba,

Thank you for writing.

You cannot achieve you goal with Visual Style Builder, but you can change the style in code. For example you can subscribe to the GotFocus and LostFocus events and change the BackColor there:

void radCheckBox1_LostFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Fill.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Fill.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColor2Property, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
}

void radCheckBox1_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Fill.BackColor = Color.DarkGray;
    radCheckBox1.ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.Fill.BackColor2 = Color.Gray;
}

Let me know if you have additional questions.
