xRadUpload styling problem

[Dako -]

Hi,

In my site I've implemented the RadUpload control. Because the control is not styled the way I want, I'm restyling it for my site. The way I'm doing this is as follows: In Expression Blend, Right click on xRadUpload > Edit Template > Edit a Copy. After doing this I'm able to style almost everything, except for one thing. During runtime of the Silverlight application, the xRadUpload enables users to upload files. Those files that are selected after using the browse button, show up in the application in several bars. I want to restyle those specific bars. The problem is, I can't find those bars using Expression Blend.

Up till now I was able to style everything by just simply right clicking everything and edit the templates. Unfortunately I can't find how to restyle the bars which represents the items that are being uploaded. Is there an explanation for this problem, or am I missing something?

Cheers,

[Ivan]

Hello Dako -,

Thank you for your interest in the RadUpload for Silverlight.

In order to change the style of the selected/uploaded files you should set the ItemContainerStyle with your new style. For example you can follow this instruction:

• Inside the Blend add the RadUpload control;
• Select the upload control and Edit a Copy of its template;
• Then add an RadUploadItem to the page (you can add it inside the upload control - it works) and edit a copy of its template too.
• Now you have both Styles for the uploader and for its items.
• Initialize the uploader's property ItemContainerStyle with the value of your brand new item-style:
   
  

  <telerikInput:RadUpload
      ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource RadUploadItemStyle1}"
      ... />

   
• Remove the RadUploadItem element from the page.

That's all.

Please give it a try and let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Ivan:

When I used blend to get the style for the upload control and add it to the page containing the upload control, it will not compile.
Do you have a sample containing the xaml for the control with it's default styling that you can post?

Thank You
Stacy

Hello Stacy,

Please find attached a sample project that contains the styles for both RadUpload and RadUploadItem. Have a look at it and let me know if something needs further explanation.
