RadDropDownButton: how to get the same visual behavior as a RadToggleButton

[Christophe]

Hi,

I am using a RadToggleButton and a RadDropDownButton in a RadRibbonBar.

The RadDropDownbutton does not have the "IsChecked" property. How do I get the same behavior ​than a RadToggleButton, meaning: If i click on the radDropDownButton i want it to have the same "visual behavior" as a normal RadTogglebutton;

I need it to change the backgroundcolor after a click like the togglebutton and to change it back if you click again.

 

thanks for any help

Hello ,

Thank you for writing.

You can access your RadDropDownButtonElement object and modify its back color like that: 

this.radDropDownButtonElement1.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
this.radDropDownButtonElement1.ActionButton.ButtonFillElement.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
this.radDropDownButtonElement1.ArrowButton.Fill.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
this.radDropDownButtonElement1.ArrowButton.Fill.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
