When populating a RadMenu using the WebService feature, is it possible to call the WebService every time the menu is opened?

Opening the menu for the first time executes the WebService code, however opening the menu after that happens without going to the WebService code (it must be cached somewhere). Is there a way to set the timeout on this cache or are the results essentially static after initally loading?

In our application the contents of the RadMenu need to change dynamically within the same browser session. We're currently playing with using the new WebService feature instead of regular data binding to achieve this functionality - is this outside the the intended functionality?

Help needed on identifying Teleric controls by Renorex and QTP Functional Automation tools

Hi There

Currently most of the application which are planning to automate is using teleric controls in the UI, and we do have "renorex" as the licensed version for Automation, when we tried automating the teleric grid, renorex failed to identify the UI, so we approached Renorex support team and got to know that, renorex is good enough to identify Teleric controls provided "teleric controls" is implemented in a proper manner considering the accessebility option while development is done.

So we wanted to confirm with you guys also the same and if you have any other solution for us ? please help us on the same.

Another question of mine is that, if this fails, we are planning for QTP, before we finalise i would like to know, if teleric controls will be identified by QTP or not?

Waiting for the answer from you

Thanks a lot in-advance

OverwriteExistingFile

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if the "OverwriteExistingFile" property of the RadUpload in the RadFileExplorer is supposed to control the related checkbox in the RadWindow ? On my side it doesn't and I don't think it's normal.

If the property and the checkbox are not related, is there a server-side way to know that the user has check the "Overwrite if a file exist" checkbox (in the OnItemCommand event if possible) ?

I use the ASP.NET AJAX 2009 Q2 version of the controls and I've tried both on IE8 and FF3.5.

Thanks !!

Error: AjaxControlToolkit requires ASP.NET Ajax 4.0 scripts

Hello,

We are planning to buy the telerik packages. Therefore, I downloaded the ASP .NET AJAX pacakge and made an intergration test. Unfortunatly I got the following error when the page is loaded "Error: AjaxControlToolkit requires ASP.NET Ajax 4.0 scripts. Ensure the correct version of the scripts are referenced. If you are using an ASP.NET ScriptManager, switch to the ToolkitScriptManager in AjaxControlToolkit.dll."

We are using the latest build of AjaxControlToolkit from CodePlex (.NET 3.5) in an ASP .NET 3.5 application. The page wich throws the error contains a ModalPopupExtender control from the AjaxToolkit.

After many searching on the forums, I found that the solution is to add MicrosoftAjax.js and MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js in order to help the RadScriptManager to load the scripts needed by the AjaxToolkit.

I've tried this solution but unfortunatly, it didn't work. I also downloaded many samples in the forums regarding this issue but they didn't worked and folks on the related forums like this one seems to face the same issue with the samples/fixes provided.

Leaving the AjaxToolkit is not an option because it's used on many pages and doing that will require a lot of work.

Would it be possible to provide a fix or a sample application with the modalPopupExtender (ASP .NET 3.5) working please?

Kind regards,

Width issue

I found if I add some expressions and don't specify the width, it will have some break such as attached image. The key point is that I don't know what's width is good to set because I don't know how many expression will be added by customer.

Show filtering on only certain columns

Hello, I'm a bit of a scrub when it comes to the radgrid controls, but slowly I am learning.

Currently I have a radgrid that loads it's data everytime on runtime (essentially I have nothing in my aspx file except for the creation and it calling NeedDataSource) and everything that get's formats, and loads the data in NeedDataSource. Thus it's run everytime a refresh is done or a different page is called. I think there's a much more efficient way of doing it than my way so suggestions on this are more than welcome, however my main current issue is below.

I have about 18 columns currently, I want people to be able to filter on 6 of them and to not be able to filter (to have the filter menu just not appear) on 12 columns. Ideally how would I do this?

(I'm thinking I need to somehow grab the column name/id in the cs, check it against the 12 column names/ids and set the property to hide but am having problems with it.)

Thanks in advance.

Multiple custom field editors per field

I am working on using the RadFilter as a type of SQL expression builder for my application. The existing RadFilter functionality gets me most of the way there and I am attempting to fill in the last bits I need which are :

The ability to compare a field to another field (e.g. FieldA >= FieldB)
The ability to compare date fields to dynamic values (e.g. DateFieldA >= Previous X days)
The ability to compare a field to a user supplied value at runtime (e.g. FieldA = prompt input)

I know these are not really doable with the current RadFilter, but here is my theory:

Customize each editor type (datetime, text, numeric and boolean) to include a control that would prompt for the type of comparison whether it is against a fixed value, database field, special date option or a prompt. Mockup image (also attached)
Wire an AJAX postback on the previous control that would reinitialize the editor with the appropriate supplemental controls. For example, if a datetime field using value comparison, show the datetime pickers. If a field to field comparison, show a combox box of other datetime fields. If a special comparison show a combo box of presets (current month, previous month, etc.). If a user prompt a simple text box for the prompt text.
Output the values of each custom option in a specific format recognizable on the backend. For example, field to field comparisons could write to the resulting expression as FieldA >= '[Field].[FieldB]', or specials as DateFieldA >= '[Special].[PreviousX]', or prompt as FieldA = '[Prompt].[Inputted prompt text]'.
Parse the resulting SQL after running through the standard provider for each of these options and handle reformatting the expression through my own secondary SQL provider.

So, my first question is, does this seem possible with the current RadFilter infrastructure? In particular I am concerned about item 2 above. I am currently working on item 2 and it seems that the editor is initialized prior to the handling of the combo box index change event.

I would also need to make sure the system is able to appropriately handle friendly display to the screen as well as saving and loading the expression.

Thanks.

Tom
