All,

after upgrading to the latest control versions of Telerik all of my comboboxes in the ribbonbar got ugly somehow.

Please see the screenshot attached for reference.

I didn't touch anything and even if I create a new dropdown in the ribbon it looks the same way

here is the Designer code for this particular control. Please note that I am using the Office2010 theme.

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.ArrowButtonMinWidth = 16

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.AutoCompleteMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.AutoSize = False

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.Bounds = New System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 22)

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.DefaultValue = Nothing

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.EditorElement = Me.cmbReferenceWeek

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.EditorManager = Nothing

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.Focusable = True

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.FormattingEnabled = True

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.MaxValue = Nothing

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.MinSize = New System.Drawing.Size(140, 0)

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.MinValue = Nothing

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.Name = "cmbReferenceWeek"

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.NullTextColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.GrayText

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.NullValue = Nothing

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.OwnerOffset = 0

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.StretchVertically = False

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.Text = ""

Me.cmbReferenceWeek.Value = Nothing

Hello,

This looks like an issue that is confined to this theme and the RadComboBoxItems. The RadComboBox is actually an old control now that I believe that Telerik will be replacing in all places where it still exists with the, much more elegant RadDropDownList in an upcoming version.

Until then, you could either change the theme, or you could add a RadDropDownList to the RadRibbonBar programatically using the RadHostItem type

Dim radDropDown As New RadDropDownList()

radDropDown.MinimumSize = New Size(100, 24)

radDropDown.Visible = True

radDropDown.DropDownStyle = RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList

radDropDown.ThemeName = "Office2010"

radDropDown.Items.Add("Item 1")

radDropDown.Items.Add("Item 2")

Dim host As New RadHostItem(radDropDown)

Me.RadRibbonBarGroup1.Items.Add(host)

Hope that helps
Richard
