VSB ImageLayout not taking effect

[Michael]

I have 3 Images (as repository items) one for default, one for mouseOver and one for mouseDown. Each Image has the ImageLayout property set to "stretch" . Additionaly I have set the ImageLayout for the RadButton/RadButtonElement/ImagePrimitive to stretch. However, the Images refuse to stretch...

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting us.

I can confirm this issue with RadButton and VisualStyleBuilder. Due to the nature of the issue I cannot provide you with a direct workaround. You can, however use a custom control which uses LightVisualElement​ which supports this functionality:

[ToolboxItem(true)]
public class RadLightVisualButton : RadControl
{
    private RadLightVisualButtonElement buttonElement;


    public RadLightVisualButtonElement ButtonElement
    {
        get
        {
            return buttonElement;
        }
    }


    protected override void CreateChildItems(RadElement parent)
    {
        base.CreateChildItems(parent);


        this.buttonElement = new RadLightVisualButtonElement();
        parent.Children.Add(this.buttonElement);
    }
}


public class RadLightVisualButtonElement : LightVisualElement
{
    protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(LightVisualElement);
        }
    }
}

You can find this issue, and the issue where you cannot set the Image​ of the ImagePrimitive​ in VSB here: UI for Winforms Feedback Portal - FIX. ImagePrimitive - Setting ImageLayout has no effect and here: UI for Winforms Feedback Portal - FIX. VisualStyleBuilder - Setting the Image property of RadButtonElement has no effect.

I have also updated your Telerik Points for reporting this.

Let me know if you have further questions.
