Setting up RadProgressBar text shadow

[Kuba]

Hi!

I need to add shadow to RadProgressBar text. I've tried to add new TextPrimitive element with shadow to Children collection (it works for RadWaitingBar), but the control shows only the existing ProgressBarTextElement. Unfortunately, I can,t manage to change Shadow member for ProgressBarTextElement. 

Code changing shadow that does not work:

((ProgressBarTextElement)this.TablesProgressBar.ProgressBarElement.Children[3]).Shadow = new ShadowSettings(new Point(1, 1), Color.Black);

Code that works for RadWaitingBar:

this.DownloadedRowsWaitingBar.ShowText = false;

TextPrimitive textElement_wb = new TextPrimitive();

textElement_wb.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

textElement_wb.ZIndex = 100;

textElement_wb.Shadow = new Telerik.WinControls.Paint.ShadowSettings(new Point(1, 1), Color.Black);

this.DownloadedRowsWaitingBar.WaitingBarElement.Children.Add(textElement_wb);

Hello Kuba,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

In order to achieve your goal with shadowing the text inside the RadProgressBar, it is appropriate to use the same approach as for the RadWaitingBar:

this.radProgressBar1.ProgressBarElement.TextElement.Text = string.Empty;
TextPrimitive tp = new TextPrimitive();
tp.Text = "sample";
tp.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
tp.ZIndex = 100;
tp.Shadow = new Telerik.WinControls.Paint.ShadowSettings(new Point(1, 1), Color.Black);
this.radProgressBar1.ProgressBarElement.TextElement.Children.Add(tp);

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
