Hi,

We currently store our visual theme files separately as xml files (per control) instead of the tssp package file. This allows us to have a more detailed source control over the changes in each control, merging between branches is easier, etc.

Using a manual process, we open the Visual Style Builder, load the complete folder with the given xmls, and save the theme as a package. We then later on, copy the file to our application, and publish it.

We would like to automate the process of generating the tssp package given the xml files either by some tool from Telerik (if it exists), or by using any API available.

Is this possible? if not, can you please suggest an alternative solution?

Thank you.

I need to change the background color for input type controls (Textbox, etc...) when their property for ReadOnly is equal to True. Currently, it stays white and the font is bold. I'm new to VSB. I watched the videos and looked through the documentation, but I didn't see how to set the background color based on a control's ReadOnly property state. Is this possible? and if so, how is this done in VSB?

 

Thanks!

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.

Hi,

The Visual Style Builder is a great tool.  Unfortunately it has many issues and results in many hours of "fiddling", testing and repeat, to get a control to appear properly (based on what is desired).  Complicated controls like GridView require a lot of patience.  This is especially true when upgrading to a new release.  New controls are created, old controls obsoleted, and properties and values change.

IT makes perfect sense that the tools would not be the top priority and I am ready to just start editing the xml files.

So, I am wondering if there is a document that lists the elements, and attributes in the control and repository xml files.  Some are self explanatory, but others are not.  For example the XmlRepositoryItem Capacity key.  At first I thought it meant the maximum, number of elements that can be defined for the Item Type, but then I saw different values for the same Item Type.

What would really be nice is, if there is a fairly simple way to determine all of the properties and Visual States for a control.

This may already exist and I just haven't found it.

Thanks

Hi,

I've been trying to create a theme for a RadTrackBar using Visual Style Builder. However, any changes you make to the RadTrackBar properties are not reflected in the Preview mode of VSB (thus, making it very difficult to design a theme).

Is this a bug, or is the RadTrackBar not supported by Visual Style Builder?

Thanks,
Tim

Good Day,

I've run into an error when using the Project Upgrade Utility, please see below error. I know why this error occured by I think you need to at least do some error handling. The reason why this happened is becuase all my project files are read-only. Thought I'd just let you know of the bug.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
