Editor Export to PDF with embedded PDF Link

Hi,
I believe I have uncovered a bug, or a strange behavior that is not very intuitive...

I am exporting to PDF from the RadEditor. The exported PDF contains links to websites and online PDFs.
While the website links work just fine, links to PDFs (from inside the exported PDF) do not work.

In Acrobat, you can inspect the link actions and see that www link actions are "Open a web link".
While link actions for PDFs are "Go to a page in another document". Then it has "Page1" as the source?

I was not able to find a way to change PDF link actions via the Telerik PDF export API.

My workaround was to create a redirect page that would accept the PDF URL as a querystring, then redirect the users.

I'm using Acrobat 10.x but other users were having the same problem. And I'm using Telerik.Web.UI.dll version 2011.1.413.35
Hope that helps!

New Folder & Rename Dialog - Highlight Text

Apologies if this has already been addressed.

Is there a way to intercept and access the dialog box that opens when Rename or New Folder is clicked? I'd like to select the text in the textbox (minus file extension if applicable) when the dialog box opens.

I've gotten feedback from my users who are frustrated with the current text box behavior of inserting text before "New Folder" or "[Existing File/Folder Name]" rather than replacing it when they begin typing after hitting Rename/New Folder as they expect because that's the behavior they're used to with Windows Explorer.

GridTemplateColumn with a RadDropDownList in the EditItemTemplate does not have selected value of the DataField

I have a RadGrid. In the RadGrid I have some GridTemplateColumns. In the EditItemTemplate I have a RadDropDownList. The GridTemplateColumn has a DataField defined. My expectation is that when the page loads that the RadDropDownList in the EditItemTemplate should have a SelectedValue that matches the DataField. But the SelectedValue is the default (blank) first item in the dropdown list. As soon as I select something from the dropdown list everything is happy including the Label that is in the ItemTemplate shows the text value for the item I selected from the dropdown list.

It works if I use a GridDropDownColumn instead, but I cannot in this case as I need to trigger javascript stuff based on an item selected from the dropdown.

How do I make sure that when the page loads the dropdown list's selected value matches the column's DataField value? It seems it should work this way automatically.

Radgrid inside Panelbar

Hi,

I have just moved ComponentArt to Telerik so please pardon my ignorance.

I am trying to have a radgrid inside a panelbar item and was just wondering if its possible to load the radgrid only when the panelbar item is expanded/clicked?

I do not want to bring it from server unless the user clicks the panelbar item.

Can you please show me an example which achieves this effect?

Thank you

RadGrid Export to Excel - empty spreadsheet

When I try to use the ExcelML format I always get an empty spreadsheet. If I run the code with ExportToCSV instead of ExportToExcel, I get data, or if I just leave out the GridExcelExportFormat.ExcelML line (use the default format) with ExportToExcel I also get a spreadsheet. Any ideas why I'm getting a blank spreadsheet when I use both the ExcelML format and ExportToExcel method?

Me.RTLGrid1.ExportSettings.Excel.Format = Telerik.Web.UI.GridExcelExportFormat.ExcelML

Me.RTLGrid1.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = True

Me.RTLGrid1.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = True

Me.RTLGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToExcel()

'Me.RTLGrid1.MasterTableView.ExportToCSV()

How to set the initial SelectedIndex of a Dropdownlist in a RadGrid ItemTemplate

Hi,

I have a GridTemplateColumn on a RadGrid. This Template contains a Label control for ItemTemplate and a DropDownList for the EditItemTemplate. The label is bound to a field from the DataTable. Now, When the Grid row goes into Edit mode, I need to set the selectedindex of the dropdown to show the original value from the label. How and where would I do that? I don't seem to have access to the Label control from within the ItemDataBound event for the GridEditableItem. Somebody please help.

Babu.

Here is my Markup:

    
                                <telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="role" HeaderText="Role" UniqueName="Role">  
        
                                    <EditItemTemplate> 
        
                                        <asp:DropDownList ID="ddlRoles" runat="server" DataTextField="Role" DataValueField="Role" 
        
                                            Width="125px">  
        
                                        </asp:DropDownList> 
        
                                    </EditItemTemplate> 
        
                                    <ItemTemplate> 
        
                                        <asp:Label ID="lblRole" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("role") %>'></asp:Label> 
        
                                    </ItemTemplate> 
        
                                    <ItemStyle Wrap="False" /> 
        
                                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

And here is my code:

    
                protected void rgUserAdmin_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)  
        
                {  
        
                    if (e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.EditItem)  
        
                    {  
        
                        GridEditableItem edtItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;  
        
                        DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)edtItem.FindControl("ddlRoles");  
        
                        if (null != ddl)  
        
                        {  
        
                            ddl.DataSource = ForecastUtils.GetAllMetricUserRoles();  
        
                            ddl.DataTextField = "role";  
        
                            ddl.DataValueField = "role";  
        
                            // this is where I need to set the value of this ddl to the value  
        
                            // from the Label on the ItemTemplate.  
        
                            ddl.SelectedIndex = -1;  
        
                            ddl.DataBind();  
        
                        }  
        
                    }  
        
                }

AutoCompleteBox Linked Tokens

I am looking for a way to make the tokens in an AutoCompleteBox be links. You click on a token to open up a page with more information. The simplest way would be if the "Entry" had a URL property that could be set but that does not exist. I will request this as a feature, but are there any suggestions?

Left-aligned Legend spacing and sizing

Hi,

We are trying to convert a site from a competitor's chart to Telerik, but are having problems with the legend spacing and sizing. We are looking for the following:

1) Legend color box to be larger
2) Left-aligned legend vertically aligned to top
2) Legend vertical spacing between items to be larger
3) Not a biggie, but Legend Color box with border

Are these items possible? Legend Margin seems to only work left and right, and Legend Padding seems to have no effect.

Thank you,
David A.

Rich content editor

What would be a good approach to allow for rich content editing for each slide, basically want to have a dynamic amount of slides depending on images in a folder that will be a background image for the slide. Then each slide needs to have a layer of rich content that can be edited per slide.

Can i create slides (server side) per images in folder and inside the slide dynamically create a radeditor that has the image as background and store the content in my database and make sure i pause the slide on mouseover (when editor is in edit mode) to allow for editing. or is there any better approach to this? anyone done something similar?
