    How - to: Automatically re-order, re-sort and re-group RadGridView (Silverlight and WPF) on change of the underlying DataSource.

    RadGridView for Silverlight and WPF supports sorting, grouping, filtering and editing. However, if a column is sorted for example and edited afterwards, we expect the newly-edited item to find its way in the sorted GridView. But it does not, unless “coded” to do that. So, what we want to achieve is to make the Grid aware of the changes thus enabling it to organize its elements correctly, corresponding to the requirements of the user.  Therefore, the expected behavior of the application will be the following: In order to achieve the desired result, we need to take the following steps: 1.

    Styling RadChart for WPF and Silverlight gets easier

    It’s been awhile since the Q1 SP1 2010 release, but let me introduce you to a couple of new approaches to styling, which we added and failed to openly manifest. First, there is the ability to build your own palette of brushes, that will be applied to the RadChart: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="radChart1"> <telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes> <SolidColorBrush Color="Magenta" /> <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0.75,1"> <GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0" /> <GradientStop Color="BlueViolet" Offset="0.5" /> <GradientStop Color="#af000000" Offset="1" /> </LinearGradientBrush> </telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes> </telerik:RadChart> .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }   Here is the result:   Using images is as...

    TreeView in ComboBox with RadControls for Silverlight or WPF, final take

    It seems that there are many developers that want to use this combo, as my previous blog posts are quite popular. The problem with the suggested solution is that you need to customize the control template of RadComboBox. There is a much easier way to put a RadTreeView in a Popup – by using a RadDropDownButton: <telerik:RadDropDownButton HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" DropDownWidth="200" IsOpen="{Binding SelectedItem, Converter={StaticResource ObjectToFalseConverter}, ElementName=TreeView, Mode=TwoWay}" Content="{Binding SelectedItem.Text, FallbackValue='Please, select an item.', ElementName=TreeView}"> <telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent> <telerik:RadTreeView x:Name="TreeView" ItemsSource="{StaticResource Items}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" /> </telerik:RadDropDownButton.DropDownContent> </telerik:RadDropDownButton> .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }   This way you could easily access the RadTreeView instance in the code-behind, however I would recommend using a ViewModel and bindings instead.   The DropDownButton Content property is bound to the SelectedItem property of...

    Styling Cells in RadGridView for WinForms

    In RadGridView you have to handle the CellFormatting event when you want to customize the look and feel of grid cells. This is so because RadGridView uses UI virtualization. It creates elements only for cells that are currently visible - when scrolling they are reused. Of course, it will be much easier if we could access the cell directly and set its visual properties without an event. In our next release (Q2 2010) this will be possible. By using the Style property you can set the desired background color or change the font size. Here is a sample: this.radGridView1.Rows[5].Cells["Name"].Style.BackColor = Color.Red; this.radGridView1.Rows[5].Cells["Name"].Style.Font = new Font(SystemFonts.DialogFont, FontStyle.Italic);   All...

    Using RadRibbonWindow with RadRibbonBar for WPF

    As you can expect, we have received a lot of great feedback from the community regarding RadRibbonBar.  One thing that people always asked about, however, was how to better integrate the RadRibbonBar into the actual window itself.  This way, rather than having the Window title and RadRibbonBar title both displaying, it would provide for a more seamless user experience.  Well, we listened. :) With our latest release, we have included the RadRibbonWindow to the RadControls for WPF library, allowing you to take the old window + RadRibbon combination and create something a little more visually compelling. First we want to add the...
