Image Manager XHTML Formatting Problems in Email

Hi,

I've used the editor for an email program, but run into one problem with the images. All mail clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, etc.) all have differences in handling CSS/XHTML and the way Q2 2009 formats the properties is creating a lot of inconsistency for us. For example: not all mail clients observe a style="margin:5px" but instead only want or recognize hspace or vspace. Same goes for image scaling, especially when a message gets forwarded. If it is a style="height:100px; width:100px;" some clients lose this information and the pictures revert back to original size.

Lastly, some mail clients do not like image alignment being handled as a style="float:left;" but it always works as align="left" across the board.

Obviously turning off ConvertToXHTML can allow someone with HTML knowledge to fix it at the HTML level, but the average user who builds the email doesn't always know HTML and just uses the image manager which always inserts with style="" for the properities. If at all possible it would be nice to be able to leave ConvertToXHTML on as well, so that all non-image items are formatted as expected and to current standards, but if it has to be off we can try it that way.

Is there any way for us to work around this to be able to use the original properties such as hspace, vspace, align for images, since modern XHTML and standards isn't always accepted by the mail clients?

Thanks for any help and recommendations. :)

RadGrid max height

Hi all,

Is there any way to set the maximum number of lines in each row (or maximum height of each row) in RadGrid, so if the content is shorter than the maximum, it will be fully displayed, but if the contect has more lines, all the lines beyond the maximum will be hidden.??

for example. if I define "maximum rows" =3

the following text:

This is a test: line 1
This is a test: line 2
This is a test: line 3
This is a test: line 4

will only display the top 3 line in the gird row.

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
feng

Setting Radsplitter Height to its content

Hello guys,

I want to make radsplitter get height from its content dynamically, not static height. I mean I don't want splitter to have scroll bars, instead using explorer natural scroll bars. Splitter has 2 panes; the left pane is a radpane menu which is higher than entire window and the right pane is a dynamic content with arbitrary heights. In this case I get 2 annoying scroll bars or my contents are hidden. I don't want either case. I want simply one scroll bar on explorer and to achieve this splitter have to get height from content dynamically.

This was OK inTelerik 2008 but in Telerik 2009 I have this problem.

This is a sample code showing the problem:

    
            <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

DateColumns displayed without CalendarImage

Hey Telerik!

When I switch to editmode in my RadGrid the Images for the Calendar are displayed only on the very last row. This only happened after switching from a previous version to Version 2008.03.1314.20

Do I need to add some styling element here?

Sincerely, Peter.

Unable to set KeepInScreenBounds property in Radwindow

Hi,

I am trying to open the rad window and enable the users to drag anywhere and even outside the browser area. I want the window to behave similar to popup window of Window. I set the KeepInScreenBounds propert to to false for RadWindowManager as well as RadWindow. But I could not move the rad window out of the browser area. When I checked the view source this property is still set to true. Can any one help me to achieve my target? I use RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2009 version.

    
            <telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1" runat="server" KeepInScreenBounds="false" Skin="Vista" Behaviors="Close,Maximize,Minimize" 
        
                    Width="500px" Height="420px" VisibleStatusbar="false"  
        
                    VisibleOnPageLoad="false"> 
        
                    <Windows> 
        
                        <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server" KeepInScreenBounds="false" Behaviors="Default" InitialBehaviors="None" 
        
                            Left="" NavigateUrl=""  Style="display: none;" Top=""> 
        
                        </telerik:RadWindow> 
        
                    </Windows> 
        
                </telerik:RadWindowManager>

            Client Script, showing the property is not set to False that is it is set to true as here "keepInScreenBounds":true,"

                        <script type="text/javascript"> 
                    
                        //<![CDATA[

                        Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
                    
                            $create(Telerik.Web.UI.RadWindowManager, {"behaviors":37,"clientStateFieldID":"RadWindowManager1_ClientState","formID":"form1","height":"420px","iconUrl":"","keepInScreenBounds":true,"left":"","minimizeIconUrl":"","name":"RadWindowManager1","skin":"Vista","top":"","visibleStatusbar":false,"width":"500px","windowControls":"['RadWindow1']"}, null, {"child":"RadWindow1"}, $get("RadWindowManager1"));
                    
                        });
                    
                        Sys.Application.add_init(function() {
                    
                            $create(Telerik.Web.UI.RadAjaxLoadingPanel, {"initialDelayTime":0,"isSticky":false,"minDisplayTime":0,"skin":"","transparency":5,"uniqueID":"LineResetAjaxPnl","zIndex":90000}, null, null, $get("LineResetAjaxPnl"));
                    
                        });

Single day event spanned accross two days in Timeline view

Hi,
I am facing an annoying issue with the RadScheduler control;

When I add an All day event let's say starting and ending the 1st December, it get spanned across 30st November and 1st December.
When I want to correct it by resizing the bar, it is removing the all day event and make it starting and ending at a random time.

I tried to play with timezoneoffset DayEndTime and DayStartTime settings without success.

    
                    <telerik:RadScheduler ID="RadScheduler1" runat="server" DataEndTime="00:00:00" DayStartTime="00:00:01" RowHeaderWidth="200px"

Hide RadGrid Column using <% %>

Hi,

I have the following code in the RadGrid of my UserControl:

                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="MyColumnName" HeaderText="MyColumnName" Visible='<%# (Mode == SearchAndSelectMode.DataMode) ? true : false %>'>         
                <ItemTemplate>         
                    <asp:ImageButton ID="MyButton" runat="server" ImageUrl="../App_Themes/eventIS/Grid/MyButton.gif" CommandName="DoSomething" />         
                </ItemTemplate>         
            </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>         

The "Mode" property is a public property of my UserControl, and I want to display this column depending on the value of that property. But when I run it, the following error appears:

Databinding expressions are only supported on objects that have a DataBinding event. Telerik.Web.UI.GridTemplateColumn does not have a DataBinding event.

I know it is also possible to hide the columns in code behind, but I want to do it in the ascx because then it is more clear what happens in my opinion. Is there any way to achieve what I want with the RadGrid?

Automatic Update with Ajax doesn't work

Hello,

I have a RadGrid with a simple definition, automaticinsert and update allowed:

    
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="MainGrid" runat="server" SkinID="Admin" AllowPaging="True" AllowAutomaticInserts="True" 
        
              AllowAutomaticUpdates="True" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSourceMain"> 
        
              <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="Id"> 
        
                <Columns> 
        
                  <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Název katalogu" DataField="Name"> 
        
                  </telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                  <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Rok" DataField="Year"> 
        
                  </telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                  <telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn HeaderText="Aktivní" DataField="IsActive"> 
        
                  </telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn> 
        
                </Columns> 
        
              </MasterTableView> 
        
            </telerik:RadGrid> 
        
            <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSourceMain" runat="server" OldValuesParameterFormatString="Original_{0}" 
        
              SelectMethod="GetCatalogs" UpdateMethod="UpdateCatalog" InsertMethod="CreateCatalog" 
        
              TypeName="Kooperativa.KoopObchod.Facade.ProductFacade"> 
        
              <UpdateParameters> 
        
              </UpdateParameters> 
        
              <InsertParameters> 
        
              </InsertParameters> 
        
            </asp:ObjectDataSource>

Everything works fine till RadAjaxManager is added:

    
            <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager" runat="server" />
        
            <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" runat="server"> 
        
              <AjaxSettings> 
        
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="MainGrid"> 
        
                  <UpdatedControls> 
        
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="MainGrid" /> 
        
                  </UpdatedControls> 
        
                </telerik:AjaxSetting> 
        
              </AjaxSettings> 
        
            </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Then I get client error:

"Line: 6
Error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

Insert works fine. This problem occured on all my grids.

How to find the problem? Thank you

Displaying a one-dimensional list of objects with a collapsble items

Hi - I have a list of domain object called D with properties Name and Id as well as others.

Now, I want to have the RadPanelBar display this list of Items as follows:

[d1.Name ^]

showing detailed information about d1.

</TemplateItem>

[d2.Name ^]

showing detailed information about d2.

</TemplateItem>

etc.

I cannot get RadPanelBar to give me this list with the collapse option.

The list D's is dynamic and I currently set it directly on the DataSource property of RadPanelBar.

Can anyone point me to a solution or offer any help?

Regards
