RadPanerBarGroupElement caption size

[Sofia]

For RadPanerBarGroupElement caption, how can I increase the text size?

Hello Sofia,

Thank you for contacting us.

Have you tried setting the Padding property of the panelBar's group caption element? Every RadPanelBarGroupElement has a child element called caption element. To gain access to it you can use the GetCaptionElement method of RadPanelBarGroupElement. Once you get the instance of this caption element you are free to set its Padding property. To increase caption's height you should modify the top and bottom parts of the Padding property.

I believe this will help you. You can write me back if I could be of further help.

Dear Boyko,
I thank you for your reply.
I need to increase the font size of the caption in RadPanelBarGroupElement. How can increasing the padding help with that?

However, I did try to do the following:

RadPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement().Padding.Top = 10;

RadPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement().Padding.Bottom = 10;

RadPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement().Font.SizeInPoints = 14;

The above three lines gave me errors:

Error 1 Cannot modify the return value of 'Telerik.WinControls.RadElement.Padding' because it is not a variable

Error 2 Cannot modify the return value of 'Telerik.WinControls.RadElement.Padding' because it is not a variable

Error 3 Property or indexer 'System.Drawing.Font.SizeInPoints' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only 

Please help..

Hello Sofia,

To set the Padding and the Font size, please refer to the code snippet below:
 

radPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement().Padding = new Padding(0, 10, 0, 10);
radPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement().Font = new Font(radPanelBarGroupElement1.GetCaptionElement().Font.FontFamily, 14);

If you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

I am trying to update my application with Rad Q1 2014, please suggest replacement of

RadPanelBarVisualElement visualElement = radPanelBarGroupElement.GetCaptionElement();

I am using RadPageView in place of RadPanelBar

Hello Amika,

RadPanelBar is no longer part of the suite. It was replaced by RadPageView. Please refer to the following article for upgrading options: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/pageview-upgrading-to-radpageview.html.

If you still have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
