Selected Header Format

[Jon]

Hi..
How do I change the format of the selected Header?

if I click on the 'Mail' Header... I want the 'top' to read 'Mail' in a much larger font with an larger icon.

thanks in advance

Hello Jon,

It depends how you define your OutlookBar. If you put the OutlookBarItems in XAML, the you can set the Title property of each OutlookBarItem to whatever you desire.

<telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBar x:Name="outlookBar1">
    <telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem Header="Mail" Icon="Images/mailBig.png"
            SmallIcon="Images/mailSmall.png">
        <telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem.Title>
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock Text="Mail" FontSize="24" Foreground="Red" />
            </Grid>
        </telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem.Title>
    </telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem>
    <telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem Header="Calendar" Icon="Images/calendarBig.png"
            SmallIcon="Images/calendarSmall.png">
        <telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem.Title>
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock Text="Calendar" FontSize="24" Foreground="Green" />
            </Grid>
        </telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem.Title>
    </telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBarItem>
</telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBar>

If your OutlookBar is data-bound, then you can set the TitleTemplate property of RadOutlookBar:

<telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBar x:Name="outlookBar1">
    <telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBar.TitleTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock Text="Shortcuts" FontSize="24" Foreground="{Binding MyColor}" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBar.TitleTemplate>
</telerikNavigation:RadOutlookBar>

Give it a try and let me know if it helps.

On a side note, I'd like to inform you that we've just released an online tool that allows you to reduce the size of your Silverlight applications. For more information, please visit http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/10-06-10/telerik_assembly_minifier.aspx
