Hi.

I have just started to use telerik:RadEditor, and I have a few problems.

1) How do I get rid of the toolbar? I have two radeditor on the same page. One of them is for reading text entred on an other page, and the other is for editing text on this page. I don't want any toolbar on the editor that is only for reading text, but I want toobar on the editor that is for editing text on the page.

2) How do I get the editor to start with a predefined font and fontsize. I have a small BasicTool.xml file like this:

ToolsFile="~/BasicTools.xml"

When used I can select from different fonts.
But I would like to set a Font (Verdana) as standard and size 13px as standard size. How do I do that?

[Solved] Complete hiding loading message in google like search

Hello,

I use the following code to have a google like search of a MSSQL2008 database. MsSql 2008 now offers the Full text catalog indexed keywords in a queryable format. Using this list offers search suggestions like google. I retrieve the keywords, put them in App Cache and use it in the Itemsrequested event. I managed to mimic google by adding an itemtemplate to the radcombo, hiding the dropdown arrow, not expanding on ficus etc. But now I set the loading message to an empty string, but the loading bar will still be visible while typing. How can I hide this?

Here's my code. Based on the latest Q3 release. Net framework 3.5. I am posting all code because others might find it interesting. Not really neccesary for my question.

The webservice that queries the keyword index on MsSQL 2008 full text catalog (uses system stored procedure:

    
            [WebMethod]  
        
                    public DataSet GetCatalogKeywords(string searchTerm)  
        
                    {  
        
                        //Build the SqlCilent Objects we need   
        
                        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("server=192.168.0.52; database=MyDatabase; User Id=sa; Password=MyPassword");  
        
                        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();  
        
                        //SqlDataAdapter to populate our DataSet   
        
                        SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();  
        
                        //DataSet to hold the users information   
        
                        DataSet dsInfo = new DataSet();  
        
                        //String to hold our stored procedure   
        
                        const string query = "WebserviceKeySearch";  
        
                        //try...catch block to handle any unhandeled exceptions   
        
                        try  
        
                        {  
        
                            //set our SqlCommands Objects   
        
                            cmd.CommandText = query;  
        
                            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;  //tell it its a Stored Procedure we're executing   
        
                            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@searchTerm", searchTerm);  
        
                            cmd.Connection = conn;  
        
                            adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;  
        
                            //fill our DataSet   
        
                            //using the Fill Method of   
        
                            //the SqlDataAdapter   
        
                            adapter.Fill(dsInfo);  
        
                            //return the DataSet to the calling aspx page   
        
                            return dsInfo;  
        
                        }  
        
                        catch (Exception ex)  
        
                        {  
        
                            System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(ex.Message);  
        
                            return null;  
        
                        }  
        
                        finally  
        
                        {  
        
                        }  
        
                    }

The stored procedure:

    
SELECT distinct display_term, sum(document_count) AS HitCount
            
FROM
 
 sys.dm_fts_index_keywords
            
(DB_ID('Hezelbase'), OBJECT_ID('Regeling')) where display_term like @searchTerm + '%' group by display_term order by display_term

[Solved] X-Axis Item Labels

Hello,

I have stackedbar chart bound to a sqldatasource control which calls a stored procedure. The dataset returned contains 3 colums: Date Range, Messages Sent, and Messages Received. The Messages Sent and Messages Received fields correctly show on the y-axis in the stackedbars, however, I want to be able to change the labels on the X-Axis from the generic 1, 2, 3... to the corresponding Date Range field.

How can I go about this?

Thanks,
Ron

Pager not shown in Q1 2010

Hi,
with the new Q1 2010 version, the pager is not shown when item count is lower than the pagesize.

PageSize

="100" AllowPaging="true"

<

PagerStyle AlwaysVisible="true" Mode="NextPrevAndNumeric" Position="Bottom" />

When i bind a datasource with more than 100 items, the pager is shown correctly.
When i downgrade to Q3 2009 it works correctly.

    
            Design:  
        
            <asp:ScriptManager ID="script1" runat="server" EnablePartialRendering="true"></asp:ScriptManager> 
        
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="grid1" runat="server" AllowPaging="true" PagerStyle-AlwaysVisible="true" PageSize="5">  
        
                  <MasterTableView AutoGenerateColumns="true"></MasterTableView> 
        
            </telerik:RadGrid> 
        
            Code:  
        
            Dim list As New Generic.List(Of String)  
        
            For i As Integer = 0 To 1 ' Change this to 5 to see the pager...  
        
             list.Add(i.ToString)  
        
            Next  
        
            grid1.DataSource = list 
        
            grid1.DataBind()

Conflict between Server-side and client side button click events

Hi,

I am using the RadToolBar for some functions like View Details,Delete,Show RadGridFilter like wise...
Here for some functions i am using the server-side (like delete) and other using client side
Button1 --- ViewDetails --- for this i am using client-side function where it is redirected to other page through radwindow

Button 2 --- Toggling the RadGrid Filter option --- for this i am using client side function.

Button3 ---- delete SelectedRadGridRecords into db --- for this i am using server-side button click event of the RadToolBar..

Now the problem i am facing is,if i use both server-side and client-side clicking events..i am not able to see the RadWindow which is intiated...

Is there any solution for this..or we should not use both client-side and server-side events for the radtoolbar.

Thanks in Advance

I've created a new website and on the default aspx page I have added a RadScriptManager and a RadComboBox. I've configured the RadComboBox to use the results of a stored proc, and when I run the page I can see the first entry in the combo box but when I go to click on the drop down arrow nothing happens. If I try and type into the text box portion, then I can type data but nothing else occurs. If I view the source I can see all the values of the stored proc, so I know that the stored proc is returning the data correctly.
Clearly there must be something simple I have missed out - just not sure what it is. Kind regards, Alex

To access page row on client

Hi,

I'm not an expert with Telerik controls and am stuck with this. I need to somehow access the page row for a RadGrid from client side. Is this even possible?

TIA for any help!
