Customizing RadWindow.Alert display

[Deepak Vasudevan]

Dear Telerik Team,

Can you guide me if I can achieve the following with RadWindow.Alert?

1. Avoiding the scrollbar for lengthy messages?
2. Instead of scrollbar squeeze in a newline (Environment.NewLine) rather?

Hello Deepak,

Thank you for contacting us.

To remove the ScrollBar on the Alert window you will have to edit its style. Please refer to the following posts for a sample project: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/window/q1-2010-radwindow-alert.aspx#1171322 

Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions about our controls please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hello Deepak,  

The TextWrapping property is a property of the TextBlock which is inserted in the RadAlert as a Content, as follows:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
           RadWindow.Alert(new TextBlock { Text = "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty dumpty had a great fall. All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put humpty together again. Jack and Jill went up a hill to fetch a pale of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown", Width=150, TextWrapping= TextWrapping.Wrap });
        }

If you experience any other difficulties please let us know.

Kind regards,

Hi
Issue on folowing sentence:

RadWindow.Confirm(new DialogParameters() { Content = "Are you sure you want to delete selected item?" }, OnClosed);

Instead of the message it didplays Telerik.WindowsControls.DialogParameters.
Is there anything wrong that I do?
Thanks for your time!

Hello Dan,

 What version of RadControls for Silverlight do you use? This should be working in the latest internal build and should also be fixed in the upcoming service pack.

All the best,

Hi

Actualy is latest build for WPF - 2011.2.912.35.

Thanks for your interest!

Hello Dan,

 I didn't noticed that you used the signature with the two parameters - its first parameter is the message to be displayed, not the dialog parameters. To use dialog parameters you need to use the signature with a single parameter instead. The DialogParameters class has a property for the Closed callback so you could provide the OnClosed method there. Hope this helps.

Thanks Miroslav
Actualy I'm using OnClose parameter because I'm doing someting if there is an afirmative response.
Therefore the proper way to  do it is:

RadWindow.Confirm(new DialogParameters() { Content = "Are you sure you want to delete selected item?", Closed = OnClosed });
instead of 
RadWindow.Confirm(new DialogParameters() { Content = "Are you sure you want to delete selected item?" }, OnClosed);



Thanks again for your quick response! It was very useful!
