Cannot Collapse Root Items

PROBLEM

Root items that have ItemTemplate defined cannot be collapsed. This is by design and can be observed on our online demo.

SOLUTION

Add an additional item with no text as a child item of the root item and set its ItemTemplate.

EXAMPLE

The root item of this panelbar cannot be collapsed:

ASPNET

<telerik:RadPanelBar RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadPanelBar2" runat="server" ExpandMode="FullExpandedItem">
   <Items>
       <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem1">
           <ItemTemplate>
               <telerik:RadComboBox RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
               </telerik:RadComboBox>
           </ItemTemplate>
       </telerik:RadPanelItem>
   </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar> 

The root item of this panelbar can be collapsed:

ASPNET

<telerik:RadPanelBar RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server">
   <Items>
       <telerik:RadPanelItem runat="server" Text="Root RadPanelItem1">
           <Items>
               <telerik:RadPanelItem>
                   <ItemTemplate>
                       <telerik:RadComboBox RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
                       </telerik:RadComboBox>
                   </ItemTemplate>
               </telerik:RadPanelItem>
           </Items>
       </telerik:RadPanelItem>
   </Items>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>
