    Easily implement AutoComplete in your application

    It is considered a good interface design practice to make it easy for the user to provide input.  One of the ways to do this is to anticipate what the user is trying to enter and provide them with options or complete the entry for them.  For example, if I type in a popular browser a web address containing the letters "tel" I will see several options made available to me, as shown below. The key is to have the ability to make a reasonable guess at what the user is trying to input.  This is particularly helpful for values that...

    Tip of the day - Modal Dialogs

    When we have a running application and we want to show a modal dialog window what we generally do is more or less the following: var window = new MyDialogWindow(); window.ShowDialog();   Doing that works great - the dialog window shows and is modal. It has just one tiny defect - if you switch from the running application to another one (i. e. using Alt + Tab) and then come back to the running app the modal dialog window is not showing and the app is inactive. The solution - just assign the parent window to the Owner property of your modal dialog window :  var window = new MyDialogWindow(); window.Owner = this;  window.ShowDialog(); ...

    Can your grid control do this? Part II

    .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; } In my previous post I told you about the new interesting feature in RadGridView for WinForms - Row Layout customization. I also promised to provide some additional details about this feature, so here they are. The view definition in RadGridView not only changes the row layout, it specifies the behavior and the appearance of the grid. All view definitions implement the IViewDefinition interface and you could create your own definitions, if you wish. To change the default view definition in RadGridView you need just to set the ViewDefinition property: this.radGridView1.ViewDefinition = myViewDefinition; We have included three different view definitions in our Q3 release. They are: TableViewDefinition,...
