Date picker in ribbon bar chunk

[Jim]

Is there a way to put a date picker in a ribbon bar chunk?

[Boyko Markov]

Hi Jim,

This can be done only by code. Here is a code snippet which adds a datetimepicker to a ribbon group:

RadDateTimePicker picker = new RadDateTimePicker();
            RadHostItem hostItem = new RadHostItem(picker);
            picker.MinimumSize = new Size(150, 20);
            picker.MaximumSize = new Size(150, 20);

            this.radRibbonBarChunk1.Items.Add(hostItem);

I hope this helps.

All the best,

That puts it in the chunk nicely, but now that I have it, how do I position it around other elements in the chunk?

[Boyko Markov]

Hi Jim,

You can do the following to change the location of the RadDateTimePicker:

hostItem.Bounds = new Rectangle(20, 30, hostItem.Bounds.Width, hostItem.Bounds.Height);
          

Please contact me again if you need additional assisntace.

Thanks Boyko,

That didn't seem to work.  I have included the code I'm using to place the DatePicker,

Format Code Block(

 

private void AddDatePicker()

 

{

 

RadHostItem hostItem, hostItem1;

 

 

Label lblStartDate = new Label();

 

lblStartDate.AutoSize =

true;

 

lblStartDate.Text =

"Start Date";

 

hostItem =

new RadHostItem(lblStartDate);

 

 

//hostItem.Bounds = new Rectangle(0, 30, hostItem.Bounds.Width, hostItem.Bounds.Height);

 

 

//this.radRibbonBarChunk1.Items.Add(hostItem);

 

 

 

DateTimePicker startDate = new DateTimePicker();

 

 

RadDateTimePicker endDate = new RadDateTimePicker();

 

hostItem1 =

new RadHostItem(startDate);

 

startDate.MinimumSize =

new Size(100, 20);

 

startDate.MaximumSize =

new Size(100, 20);

 

startDate.Format =

DateTimePickerFormat.Short;

 

 

endDate.MinimumSize =

new Size(100, 20);

 

endDate.MaximumSize =

new Size(100, 20);

 

endDate.Format =

DateTimePickerFormat.Short;

 

hostItem1.Bounds =

new Rectangle(new Point(0,5), startDate.MaximumSize);

 

 

this.radRibbonBarChunk1.Items.Add(hostItem1);

 

}

)

Hello Jim,

Could you please send me a sample project which demonstrates this behavior?
 I have tested the source code and it works fine in my test project. I am enclosing a sample project as an attachment which demonstrates how to change the location of a hostitem in a ribbon group.

In case, you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Bouko,

I think the problem is one of versions.  Would you please send an example that works with Winforms version 6.1.0.0?

Kind regards,

Jim

Hi Jim,

You are using a version of RadRibbonBar which is almost two years old. To my regret this version is not supported any more. Actually, the Ribbon has undergone a major overhaul since then and it will be best if you upgrade to the newest version. Feel free to contact our sales team for more details.

Hi

I added DateTimePicker in radribbonbar using HostItem, but its culture settings is not happening. I am Setting my datetime culture as dd/mm/yy.

i am using the below code to do so..


CultureInfo date_culture=new CultureInfo("en-Us");
date_culture.DateTimeFormat="dd/mm/yy";

RadDateTimePicker dtFromDate=new RadDateTimePicker();

dtFromDate.Culture=date_culture;

RadHostItem dtFromHostItem=new RadHostItem(dtFromDate);

radRibbonBarGroup1.items.Add(dtFromHostItem);

Hi Shabeer,

You should set the Format property to Custom to enable the CustomFormat property and set the latter to "dd/mm/yy".
You can read more about the control properties in here.
