radsplitbutton get rid of image column

[John]

Hi, i'm populating a radsplitbutton in code.  the items show up fine, but there's a blue strip on the left side of the menu that drops down with the items in it.  It's where the images go.  I don't have any images.  how do i get rid of this strip?

Thanks!

Hello John,

Thank you for writing.

If you just want to remove the blue strip while keeping the space between the text of the items and the left edge of the menu, you should follow this snippet:

RadDropDownMenuElement ddMElement = (RadDropDownMenuElement)this.radSplitButton1.DropDownButtonElement.DropDownMenu.RootElement.Children[0];
ddMElement.Children[2].Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

If you additionally want to remove the space between the text and the left edge of the menu, you should add this:

RadDropDownMenuLayout ddMLayout = (RadDropDownMenuLayout)ddMElement.ScrollPanel.ScrollLayoutPanel.Children[3];
ddMLayout.LeftColumnMinWidth = 0;

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.Greetings,
Nikolay
