Shadow Property

[Kenneth Jackson]

Alot of the text primitives have a shadow property but all that i can do is
select (none) from the drop down.

How can this be used ? Also will there be functionlity in the future to allow
for raised text also ? A minor thing I realise but all part of fine tuning the look
and feel.

Also is it possible to customise the colours on text shadow and or the
depth of the shadow ?

Hello Kenneth Jackson,

Thank you for raising these questions.

Currently, you can set the Shadow property only programmatically. Please consider the following code snippet:

((TextPrimitive)this.radButton1.RootElement.Children[0].Children[1].Children[1]).Shadow = new Telerik.WinControls.Paint.ShadowSettings(new Point(1,1), 0, Color.Blue);

This is a sample code concerning the Shadow for the TextPrimitive of a RadButton. The Shadow property is of type ShadowSettings, which has three properties - Depth, Thickness and ShadowColor. Currently, we have an issue with the Thickness property which will be addressed in one of our next releases.

As to the raised text, this is a good suggestion and I will share your idea with our developers for possible implementation in the future.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.


Sincerely yours,
Nikolay
