RadClock doesn't show times (after upgrading to the latest Telerik WPF Controls)

[Sandi Markon]

As the title implies, I'm having trouble implementing a stand-alone RadClock (no TimePicker involved) control in my WPF app. Before the latest upgrade (my current version is Q1 2011), it worked smoothly (i set the Culture property to get rid of the 'AM/PM' suffixes), but now it just won't show the times from 0:00 to 23:00. My attempt:

<telerik:RadClock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="1,7,0,0" Name="radTimeFrom" Culture="sl-SI"  VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="166" Height="145">
           <telerik:RadClock.Header>
               <TextBlock Text="From" Foreground="White"/>
           </telerik:RadClock.Header>
       </telerik:RadClock>

Any ideas as to why this thing doesn't work anymore? :)

EDIT: I tried reverting to an older version of the Telerik controls (ver. Q3 2009 SP2) and it works just fine.
EDIT2: But, of course, this is not a solution, because i would still like to have the latest Telerik controls installed, therefore reverting in my case is out of the question. Any info would be greatly appreciated :)



Thanks in advance,

I worked around the issue by manually setting the ItemsSource property with a 'List<TimeSpan>', filled with the appropriate values. Should have thought of it sooner :) Thank you anyway.

Hello Sandi Markon,

Your approach is the most correct one for your scenario. Let us know if you have any other problems.

As a matter of fact, there is still something amiss here.

The header element (in my case the TextBlock) somehow gets ignored. When i run my app, the RadClock control defaults the text to "Clock", even though i excplicitly provided a RadClock.Header tag. Is there some kind of workaround for this?

Hello Sandi Markon,

Using code behind is one possible workaround to set the Header property of the RadClock. Here is a sample code :

TextBlock textBlock = new TextBlock();
textBlock.Text = "New Header";
textBlock.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
RadClock.Header = textBlock;

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Thank you very much. This is a pretty straightforward workaround, so again, I'm forced to say 'Should have thought of it sooner.' :)
