Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to make the Suggested Actions not scroll off of the screen in Windows forms.

 

Can you help show how I can get these to be posted vertical?

Thanks -Tim

Hello, Tim, 

RadChat uses a ChatSuggestedActionsElement for displaying the suggested actions which is a derivative of HorizontalScrollableStackElement. Internally, it contains a StackLayoutPanel which orientation can be set to vertical:
      this.radChat1.ChatElement.SuggestedActionsElement.ItemsLayout.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;

Before:

After:

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

On the suggested actions being vertical.  How would you put a little bit of a space between the options?

Hello, Tim, 

You can achieve the desired spacing between the options as it is demonstrated below:

            this.radChat1.ChatElement.SuggestedActionsElement.ItemsLayout.Orientation = Orientation.Vertical;
            foreach (SuggestedActionElement el in this.radChat1.ChatElement.SuggestedActionsElement.ItemsLayout.Children)
            {
                el.Margin = new Padding(5);
            } 

Should you have further questions please let me know.
