Skin Chooser

Hi Folks,

Is there a way that I can include the skin selecter in my application? I want the user to have a choice of what skin they use for their own portal and for them to see the combobox you see when you select a skin from an elements smart tag in the design view.

Can this be done?

Cheers,
Ian

EnableEmbeddedScripts=false disables all telerik scripts

I have a RadMenu, an overloaded instance RadPanelBar and the RadEditor solution file intergrated into my sitecollection. the menu and the panelbar are both stored in masterpage. I don't want to use any script in the RadMenu, so I EnableEmbeddedScripts=false. However, it disables all scripts for all Telerik controls.

On the RadPanelbar, I can explicitly say EnableEmbeddedScripts="true", to no effect, and when I use page where RadEditor replaces the standard control, I get the perpetual 'Scripts are loading' message.

If I put the change in the appsettings area of the web-config

Telerik.Menu.EnableEmbeddedScripts value="false", then the same problem happens again.

Any ideas what is going on?

i'm using 2009 Q3 controls.

EDIT:
Added the RadPanelBar scripts into the script manager, and moved them to the layout folder,
<asp:ScriptReference Path="/_layouts/scripts/Common/jQueryPlugins.js"></asp:ScriptReference> <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/Navigation/NavigationScripts.js" />
And again nothing.

RadEditor in an UpdatePanel

Hi

I have a radeditor in an update panel and a button that sets the format of the content of the editor by doing editor.pasteHtml().

If I make my updates to the editor, then get the content of the editor by using this.editorExample.Content via a regular postback, the content is correct. However, when I put the editor in an updatePanel, make some format changes and do a partial postback, when I access the content of the editor, it does not know about the new format changes I have made. I assume this has to do with the fact that there is a hidden iFrame which is not getting the updates in the partial postback, but is there a way I can access the correct content by using something other than an updatepanel (maybe a RadXMLHttpPanel)?

Thanks in advance

Modifying Custom Skin

Hi,

I am trying to modify the custom skin applied to my radgrid. I have tried the steps in
http://blogs.telerik.com/DimoDimov/Posts/08-06-17/How_To_Override_Styles_in_a_RadControl_for_ASP_NET_AJAX_Embedded_Skin.aspx?ReturnURL=%2fDimoDimov%2fPosts.aspx

In my case, I am using vista as the skin and want to modify the selected row property.

.SelectedRow_vista{}
is modified to
div.SelectedRow_vista{}

However, I still get the same old stying applied to my radgrid. Can someone help me please?

kind regards,

Anu

[Solved] RadGrid Client Binding Documentation

Hello there,

After fighting a bit and reading a lot about client binding in RadGrid's I came to the conclusion that many features are missing. Unfortunately some of these restrictions are mentioned in different topics in this forum, on third-party websites and in some places in the documentation. What I miss a lot and what would save me a lot of time reading information all around the globe was documentation. A simple "pros & cons" section when using client binding. I would like to summarize some of the features when working with client binding of RadGrid's:

"When adding the DataBinding settings for a RadGrid on PreRender, you need to explicitly rebind it in order the grid to be populated.";
no hierarchy support;
no master/detail table view support;
no support for declarative sort expressions (it breaks header design);
no template column support (and anything that involves using the Eval() method);
missing or broken support for UseStaticHeaders="true" (it breaks the design of the grid);
...

They may be more but I am sure some of these features have alternatives and worth mentioning. Such a section in the documentation would significantly help developers when taking a decision of use server or client bound RadGrid.

Best regards,
Valery Dachev.

[Solved] TargetControls dynamic update problem

Hi,

we're about buying subscription renewal so we're testing AJAX components. So far, we're fully excited about it, great work.

We were trying to accomplish specific ToolTip implementation, but with no avail.

Our goal
To have paginated Repeater (Int32 list as DataSource) inside ajaxified panel using RadAjaxManager, HyperLink in each item has attached ajaxified tooltip via RadToolTipManager, that simply displays its Int32 value. When page gets changed, TargetControls should be reinitiated (as your demos demonstrate). Thus, I placed the RadToolTipManager into UpdatedControls collection of RadAjaxManager, too. But here it goes. When I put mouse over the item, the ToolTip just blinks and disappeared. When I remove RadToolTipManager from UpdatedControls, values are displayed correctly. But the tooltip does not get updated when page change occurs.

My simplified code is attached below:

TestToolTip.aspx

    
            <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TestToolTip.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestToolTip" %>

Bugs in RadWindow

Hi,

I found a lot of bugs in the RadWindow control. First of all, the size of the control is not rendered properly in the Opera 10.x browser. if you open this link (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/radwindowobject/defaultcs.aspx) in Opera and Chrome you can see the difference. The second problem with Opera and RadWindow is annoying horizontal scrollbar which appears when you open RadWindow with modal parameter set to true. The sample is available here (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandwindow/defaultcs.aspx?product=window) when you click the "Edit" link. The third problem occurs when you are moving the RadWindow. Unfortunately, during this action the target page is not visible. Moreover, there is a lot of problems with auto size. For example, when you open this link (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/window/examples/autosize/defaultcs.aspx) in the IE8 browser you can see that RadWindow doesn`t look properly. In addition, the auto size mode doesn`t work when the target page consists of html table and scrollbars are displayed.

Is there any chance to get bug fixes?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Martin

Issue with Combobox and RequiredFieldValidator

In order to reproduce the issue,
1. Go to http://www.chevronlubricants.com/
2. Select United states as your country, and click "Go" button.
3. Click on "Select a Country" link at the the top right hand corner
4. You will go back to /welcome.aspx where the Combobox remembers the "United States" setting. Without changing anything in the combobox, click "Go" button.
5. You will see the issue, which is that instead of posting back correctly, it just refreshes the page and loses the "United States" setting.

There is a requiredfieldvalidator on the combobox, which appears to work correctly, except this weird postback issue when coming to the /welcome.aspx for a second time

Grid - DockViewState Conflict

Hi

I'm using a couple of grids in my docks. When I try to enable Dock's EnableViewState function, I figured out I can't reach my grid's item.DataItem values anymore. What's the reason? Any help?

Here's my delete function:

    
                protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    foreach (GridItem item in this.grdList.SelectedItems) 
        
                    { 
        
                        ShoppingCartItem cart = (ShoppingCartItem)item.DataItem; 
        
                        SiteManager.Params.CurrentUserShoppingCart.Remove(cart); 
        
                    } 
        
                    RefreshLists(); 
        
                }

Here's my init:

    
                    protected override void OnInit(System.EventArgs e) 
        
                    { 
        
                        //find dock layouts

                        DockLayout dockLayout = (DockLayout)FindControl("dockLayout"); 
        
                        dockLayout.EnableViewState = false; 
        
                        dockLayout.StoreLayoutInViewState = false; 
        
                        PrepareLayoutDocks(dockLayout); 
        
                        //this.EnableViewState = false; 
        
                        base.OnInit(e); 
        
                    }
