Hi,

I'm using RadDropDownButton as menu. I am trying to align the Dropdown popup bottom of the DropDownButton and align dropdowns right side with the buttons right side. (See the attachment)

I've tested numerous scenarios and it seems setting the HorizontalOffset/VerticalOffset on DropDownPopup at the template has no effect.

How should it be implemented?

Here is my code:

<telerik:RadDropDownButton

x:Name="SettingsMenu"

DropDownPlacement="Absolute"

Template="{StaticResource RadDropDownButtonTemplate}">

<TextBlock Text="hello"/>

<telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>

<StackPanel >

<TextBlock Text="hello"/>

</StackPanel>

</telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent>

</telerik:RadDropDownButton>

And my template:

<ControlTemplate x:Key="RadDropDownButtonTemplate" TargetType="telerik:RadDropDownButton">

<Grid >

Hello TonyMan,

Could you please try setting these three properties and let us know if the desired result is achieved at your side?

<telerik:RadDropDownButton x:Name="SettingsMenu"

DropDownPlacement="Bottom"

DropDownButtonPosition="Left"

FlowDirection="RightToLeft"

Thank you in advance.
