Hello,

I would like to apply my own style to the horizontal and vertical ScrollBar control for my RadTabControl.

I have tried to find some documentation on this but can't find any, but I did find this post that said I need to edit the template for RadTabControl.
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/tabcontrol/tabitem-background-color.aspx#731163

I have tried this but I can't find where I can apply my ScrollBar style, all I get is this template for each side of the TabControl:

    
                            <Grid> 
        
                                <Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        
                                    <RowDefinition Height="auto"/>  
        
                                    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>  
        
                                </Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        
                                <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> 
        
                                    <VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">  
        
                                        <VisualState x:Name="Disabled"/>  
        
                                        <VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>  
        
                                    </VisualStateGroup> 
        
                                </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups> 
        
                                <Border Grid.Row="1" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">  
        
                                    <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentElement" Content="{TemplateBinding SelectedContent}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectedContentTemplate}"/>  
        
                                </Border> 
        
                                <Grid> 
        
                                    <Rectangle Fill="{StaticResource RadTabControlHeaderBackground}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding BackgroundVisibility}"/>  
        
                                    <ItemsPresenter Margin="2 4 0 0"/>  
        
                                </Grid> 
        
                                <Rectangle x:Name="DisableVisual" Fill="{StaticResource RadTabItemDisabledBackground}" Visibility="Collapsed" Grid.RowSpan="2"/>  
        
                            </Grid>

According to SilverlightSpy, the ScrollViewer is burried well done in the above ContentPresenter, inside a RadPanelBar control, but I have no idea how to apply my custom style to this.

Help appreciated!
Regards,
James.

Hello James,

Could you, please, let us know which version of our controls do you use because in the 2009.2 812 version there is no ScrollBar in the RadTabControl.

Best wishes,

Hello,

Thanks for this information - I'm actually using an older build: 2009.2.828.1030

The newer builds break a lot of my RadDocking templates so I'm waiting until Q3 is released before doing a single big upgrade.

Regards,
James.
