    How To Drag A File From Desktop And Drop It In RadTreeView Placed In WPF Application

      Sometimes we need to extend the RadTreeView’s Drag’and’Drop abilities in order to accept external data from other applications or Windows.

    Editing the RadScheduleView's TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector

    RadControls for WPF, 2011.Q1 We will start with the project from the previous post: DOWNLOAD: RadScheduleView_GroupHeaderTemplates.zip And will produce the following project that has its timeruler items modified: DOWNLOAD: RadScheduleView_TimeRulerItemTemplates.zip Using the GroupHeaderContentTemplateSelector you can bind to the resource data. In the time ruler this is not the case. The time ruler items present date information and at this time they can’t be modified through items source property. We will create an inline template selector and discuss some of the TimeRulerItem DataTemplates. Converting the TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector to Local Value Select the RadScheduleView, go to the “Styling” section in the “Properties” tab and click the rectangle near the “TimeRulerItemTemplateSelector” property. Then...

    RadControls for WPF, 2011.Q1 The attached project will be generated in this blog and will be used in future: DOWNLOAD: RadScheduleView_StartUp.zip This is probably the first post of a series that will guide you through RadScheduleView styling.
