Hi. I want to add a separator (horizontal line) item to my radDropDownList. I've followed the approach at https://www.telerik.com/forums/adding-some-separator-in-the-list which works. However I have 2 items that have empty string as the text and I only want one of them to be shown as a horizontal line. I'm using a data bound list and I'd like to use either the item's value or it's tag to determine whether to show the item as a horizontal line or not. How do I get the item's value or it's tag from the VisualListItemFormatting event?

Hello, Pixie,
In the VisualListItemFormatting event you have access to the associated data item with the visual element. Please refer to the following code snippet demonstrating how to access it:
private void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args)
{
RadListDataItem dataItem = args.VisualItem.Data;
if (dataItem.Tag!=null)
{
}
}I suppose that the following help article may be interesting for your scenario as it demonstrates how to construct custom visual items in RadDropDownList: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/dropdown-listcontrol-and-checkeddropdownlist/dropdownlist/custom-items
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
