Strip Buttons not hiding when asked

[Ian]

Hi Guys

I'm trying to get the strip buttons to hide in my PageView and at the same time add in a RadButtonElement into the stripview button panel. The strip buttons do not want to hide and indeed won't hide when asked even when I don't add my RadButtonElement. I've tried the usual code from forum posts to no avail. I must be doing something wrong so any help would be great.

I use the following code. Note that I commented out another attempt to hide the buttons so you could see what I tried. The outcome of the code is in the attached screenshot.

private RadButtonElement btnAddTradingRule = new RadButtonElement();

    btnAddTradingRule.Image = Resources.Plus24;
    btnAddTradingRule.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
    btnAddTradingRule.Click += BtnAddTradingRuleClick;
    btnAddTradingRule.MinSize = new Size(28, 28);

    rpvModelRule.RootElement.Children[0].Children[0].Children[1].Children.Insert(0, btnAddTradingRule);

    //foreach (var button in rpvModelRule.RootElement.Children[0].Children[0].Children[1].Children.Where(a => a.GetType() == typeof(RadPageViewStripButtonElement)))
    //{
    //    button.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;
    //}


    var radPageViewStripElement = rpvModelRule.ViewElement as RadPageViewStripElement;
    if (radPageViewStripElement != null)
    {
        radPageViewStripElement.ShowItemCloseButton = false;
        radPageViewStripElement.StripButtons = StripViewButtons.None;

    }

HI again

Sorry guys - my fault. They do disappear, but reappear again when I ask them to later in my code. A little refactoring required. :-)

Thanks anyway

Hi Guys

Apologies once again. I still need your help on this.

I want to be able to display a button at the right of the StripViewItemContainer of my PageView but without displaying any of the normal stripbuttonelements. I have been trying the above code in this thread but now can only get all buttons (including mine) to disappear or all buttons (including mine) to show.

Should I be using a stacklayoutPanel or some such?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Ian

Hello lan,

Thank you for writing back.

What you can do is to first Collapse or Clear the existing buttons and then add yours. Here is a small example:

var radPageViewStripElement = radPageView1.ViewElement as RadPageViewStripElement;
if (radPageViewStripElement != null)
{
    radPageViewStripElement.ItemContainer.ButtonsPanel.Children.Clear();

    RadButtonElement btnAddTradingRule = new RadButtonElement();
    btnAddTradingRule.Image = Resources.folder_open;
    btnAddTradingRule.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
    btnAddTradingRule.Click += btnAddTradingRule_Click;
    btnAddTradingRule.MinSize = new Size(28, 28);

    radPageViewStripElement.ItemContainer.ButtonsPanel.Children.Insert(0, btnAddTradingRule);
}

Let me know how this works for you.

Brilliant Stefan!  That's worked a treat. I was so focused on the collapsing of the buttons I completely missed the fact that they're in a collection.

All fixed. Thanks for your help
