radDropDownListElement, What is getting fired.

[Stephan]

 

 

I am using a ribbonbar and under my view tab I have a Theme Section with a radDropDownListElement.  I loaded it with all the Themes I want to allow, but when I run the application the following occurs.
the default value is blank, I would like it to show my current setting.
When I click on the dropdown all the themes I entered are visable.
When I select one the value changes visually on the screen to what is selected.
I have put breaks in the code below, but the application never stops.

   private void radDropDownListElement1_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = radDropDownListElement1.Name;   }     private void radDropDownListElement1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)   {         ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = radDropDownListElement1.Name;   }

So the long and the short is how do I capture what is selected to get the theme to change for the user.

Thanks

Hello Stephan,

Thank you for writing.

Here is a small example that provides the desired functionality (assuming that you have the themes already loaded):

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        radDropDownListElement1.Items.Add("TelerikMetroBlue");
        radDropDownListElement1.Items.Add("Office2007Black");
        radDropDownListElement1.Items.Add("Office2010Silver");
        radDropDownListElement1.Items.Add("ControlDefault");
        radDropDownListElement1.SelectedIndex = radDropDownListElement1.FindString("ControlDefault");
        radDropDownListElement1.SelectedIndexChanged += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventHandler(radDropDownListElement1_SelectedIndexChanged);
    }

    void radDropDownListElement1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = radDropDownListElement1.SelectedText;
    }
}

Let me know if you need further assistance with this case.

Kind regards,
