Width of GridDropDownColumn and other columns in Edit Mode

Hi, I wanted to get some suggestions as to what the easiest way to set or change grid column widths in edit mode. I have a grid that contains about 13 columns and when a row is in inline edit mode almost all columns become much wider which causes the grid to span more than the width of the screen which looks quite unpleasant. I have noticed that the grid drop-down columns become significantly wider than when not in edit mode.

I have played around with the different column resize options as mentioned here http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/resizing/defaultcs.aspx
but I either find myself in a situation where column values are clipped or where the columns become too wide in edit mode.

Is it possible to changed the width of the text boxes in edit mode? And if yes, is the only solution to my problem to try to programmatically set the width of each textbox separately in the code-behind?

Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.

How to select resource header value and de-select others

Hello! i have a rad-scheduler with resource header. I have checkbox with the resource header to allow me to identify the resource that has been selected. But when there is a resource selected (checkbox is checked) and i go ahead and select another one i would like to auto un-check the initial selection. I am unable to do so - suffering from brain freeze.

Here is my code for the resource selector and the on-check code

<

ResourceHeaderTemplate>

<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="ResourceCheckBox" Text='<%# Eval("Text") %>' OnCheckedChanged="ResourceCheckBox_CheckChanged" AutoPostBack="true" />

</ResourceHeaderTemplate>

Protected Sub ResourceCheckBox_CheckChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim bindingContainer As Control = (DirectCast(sender, Control)).BindingContainer

Dim dataItemContainer As IDataItemContainer = DirectCast(bindingContainer, IDataItemContainer)

Dim resource As Resource = TryCast(dataItemContainer.DataItem, Resource)

End Sub

thanks,
Jay

RadChart chert = new RadChart();

chert.ID = "olapChart";

string result = string.Empty;

using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())

{

StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream);

HtmlTextWriter htmlWriter = new HtmlTextWriter(writer);

chert.RenderControl(htmlWriter);

System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();

writer.Flush();

result = encoding.GetString(stream.ToArray());

}

Having "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." on call chert.RenderControl(htmlWriter);





2.




[WebMethod] 
        public string GetChart() 
        { 
           return GetChartRendered(chert);

Having "Error executing child request for handler 'ChartTest.TempRenderer'" there on Server.Execute.



3. Eventually created just page "chart.aspx" wiht just single chart control decalred


<

 

 

telerik:RadChart ID="chert" runat="server" Width="500px" Height="290px" EnableViewState="false" SkinsOverrideStyles="false" ></telerik:RadChart>


 
 


and trying this in WebMethod:


StringWriter output = new StringWriter(); 
HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute("chart.aspx", output, false); 
string result = output.ToString();



Having ex:" Error executing child request for chart.aspx."



As I understand the reason of all these exceptions is ChartImage.axd

handler. 



If somebody can help - please, it's very urgent.

Thank you.

Installation: You must have Administrative rights...

Am am new to Telerik controls. I just downloaded my licensed installer (Telerik.Web.UI_2011_3_1305_Dev.msi) and it tells me "You must have Administrative rights on this machine to install Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 2011 SP1. Setup will now exit."

Thing is, I do have administrative rights. I tried creating the installation folder in advance and clearing the downloaded file 'block' flag. No luck.

Is there a an installation log somewhere that shows the error?

Background:

Installed Telerik evaluation in Dec.
Purchased package from Telerik.
Downloaded licensed package.
Ran licensed package, it said the controls were already installed.
Weeks later, I got evaluation version errors.
Uninstalled evaluation version.
Ran licensed package, it said my installer was out of date.
Downloaded licensed package again.
Ran new licensed package, it says I am not Administrator.

RadAjaxManager Configuration with RadTabStrip, RadGrid, and Export

Hi there,

I'm struggling to get file exports and sorting working on a grid without full postbacks.

I am able to get each working individually without postbacks, but never together.

Here is the code. I have included lots of <br /> so that you can observe the full postback easily (the page will scroll back to the top). With this code, I can export the grid without a postback. Column sorting, however, produces a postback.

<%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" AutoEventWireup="true"

CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="TabStripMultiPageRadGrid._Default" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent">

<script type="text/javascript">

function onRequestStart(sender, args) {

if ((args.get_eventTarget().indexOf("RadGrid1") >= 0)) {

if (args.get_eventArgument().indexOf("ExportToExcel") ||

args.get_eventArgument().indexOf("ExportToPdf") >= 0 ||

args.get_eventArgument().indexOf("ExportToCsv") >= 0) {

args.set_enableAjax(false);

}

</script>

<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="~/XMLFile1.xml">

</asp:XmlDataSource>

</telerik:RadPageView>

</telerik:RadMultiPage>

</asp:Content>

If I then remove " ClientEvents-OnRequestStart="onRequestStart" ", the sorting works fine without a postback, but the grid no longer exports.

There is no code behind.

using System;

namespace TabStripMultiPageRadGrid

{

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page

{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

}

Refresh 2 RadGrids on window close

Hi Telerik Community,

I have two RadGrids sitting on a page, both inside a RadAjaxPanel. When I have RadWindow close, my add_close function (oWnd.add_close(RefreshAfterMatch);) will only refresh one of the two grids (perDiemBookingsRadGrid). Here is my function:

function RefreshAfterMatch() {

var matchMasterTable = $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();

var pdMasterTable = $find("<%= perDiemBookingsRadGrid.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView();

matchMasterTable.rebind();

pdMasterTable.rebind();

}

Any ideas on how to get both grids to rebind?

Thanks,
Joe

Changing Worksheet name while exporting to CSV

Hi All,

I am facing a situation here where I need to change the worksheet name of CSV file. I use below code to export my grid to CSV.

grid1.MasterTableView.ExportToCSV();

I don't want to export file to excel (i.e. xls or Excelml). I am using Telerik 2011 Q3. Is it possible to do the same in Telerik 2012 Q1?

Thanks in advance!!!

RadAjaxPanel BackColor wont disappear after the AJAX post back

Hi,

I am upgrading 2008 Q3 version of telerik control to 2011 Q3 version in my project in .NET 4.0. I have an issue with the RadAjaxxLoadingPanel in the latest version where it used to work fine with 2008 version.

I have a RadComboBox outside of the RadAjaxPanel which refreshes the grid based on the dropdown selection. When Items selection is changed in the dropdown it will make a Ajax postback to refresh the grid. while the grid is getting refreshed the AjaxLoading panel shows the back color of gray with some transparency set. The grid will not be accessible during the refresh. The gray color disappeared itself and grid became accessible again, once the Ajax is complete in the 2008 Q3 version. But, with 2011 Q3 version the gray color won’t disappear and the grid is inaccessible even after the post back is complete.

Here is the code: Please let me know what needs to be done to get the same behavior in the latest version? Thanks in Advance!!!

Error handling with RadAjaxManager

I am using RadAjaxManagerProxy in my user control and RadAjaxManager in the master page and a RadAjaxLoadingPanel. When an error occurs server side, the loading panel hides and does not show any error message. How can I show an error message when an ajax request fails.
