hi there,
            how do i change the color of radPanelBar drop down arrow to white as i required

[Petar Mladenov]

Hi,

 The type of the "arrow" is Path, so zou can take advantage of its Stroke property:

<Path x:Name="arrow" Visibility="Visible" Grid.Column="5" Data="M1,1.5L4.5,5 8,1.5"
                                         HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="7,0" Opacity="1" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
                                          Stretch="None" Stroke="DeepSkyBlue" StrokeThickness="2" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                                            <Path.RenderTransform>
                                                <RotateTransform Angle="0"/>
                                            </Path.RenderTransform>
                                        </Path>

Hello Usman,

 Changing this is code behind will be far away from elegant in the terms of WPF and Silverlight. However, you can inherit the RadPanelBar, override it OnApplyTemplate method and find the "arrow" with:

var arrow = this.GetTemplateChild("arrow") as Path;

If the arrow is not null then  change its stroke. However, we highly encourage you to use the XAML approach.

All the best,

May I ask which version of the Visual Studio for the sample zip file? I can't open it from Visual Studio 2010.  Thanks!

Hi Vicky,

 Both of the projects in this thread are WPF 4.0 solutions created in VS 2010.
