I'm trying to use a RadGrid inside a modal popup created with the AJAX Control Toolkit's ModalPopupExtender control. However, when I click on the column filter menu provided by the RadGrid, the context menu shows up behind the modal popup. I've tried adjusting the z-order style of the both the menu and the popup by using CSS classes, but both seem to use inline styles to set their z-indexes. The popup uses a value of 10000, while the RadGrid filter menu uses a value of 7000. Is there any way I can set the z-index value the menu uses, so that it shows up above the popup?

Toolbar DropDown text size too small in IE, not Firefox

Hi All,
I am currently integrating the RadEditor Prometheus into my app and I have run into one problem, in IE the text that reads the font size or font name (and all the text on all other dropdowns) is too small. A CSS check has it coming up as 1px, but when I hover over it it switches to 11px. It appears the non-hover text is using a wrapper CSS class, despite the fact that the non-hover version of the class is defined just fine in the CSS file. In Firefox the text size is fine at 11px, with or without hover.

Has anyone else encountered this or know of a workaround?

Thanks,
Chris

[Solved] Standard .NET controls vs. Telerik

I've been doing some research lately to try and find out what the exact advantages of Telerik are over using the standard controls provided by the .NET framework, particularly the radgrid vs gridview. I am presenting to a group of co workers on this topic and I have found a lot of information but I wanted to know if Telerik has any of this information readily available? Thanks.

Decorator causing problems.

When I add a decorator to my page the styling applied is transparent. I am using the Office2007 skin which is set globally in the Web.config.

I add the following to a page:

<

telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="RadFormDecorator1" runat="server" DecoratedControls="All" />

instead of the decorated radio buttons they appear for a second and then seem to disappear. The standard asp buttons appear to have a background color the same as the form. This also happens on a radconfirm but the title bar is also completely transparent.

Any idea of what might be going on here?

Popup EditForm spacing on Right

I have a popup edit form and in my template I have a table with a width of 100% but when I run my project and open the edit form it's not 100%. The behavior makes me think the white space tot he right is where a scrollbar would be. But there is no scrollbar.

How can I get rid of this extra white space within my template. In the designer it shows the table as 100% of the template.

[Solved] OnClientFileOpen in RADFILEEXPLORER(How to open file in with their original extension.)

Hi Telerik !

Iam using the RAD FILE EXPLROER in one of my project. I have uploade the files with the following extensions :-

.docx,
.doc, .xslx
.pdf & many images file such as .jpeg,.jpg,.gif,.bmp.

I have implemented the following javascript function in order to open the file in the context menu:-

    
             function OnClientFileOpen(oExplorer, args) {  
        
                        debugger;  
        
                        var item = args.get_item();  
        
                        var fileExtension = item.get_extension();  
        
                        //var fileDownloadMode = document.getElementById("chkbxDownoaldFile").checked;  
        
                        if ((fileExtension == "jpg" || fileExtension == "gif") && fileExtension == "xlsx" || fileExtension == "docx") {// Download the file   
        
                            // File is a image document, do not open a new window  
        
                            args.set_cancel(true);  
        
                            // Tell browser to open file directly  
        
                            var requestImage = "FileSystemHandler.ashx?path=" + item.get_url();  
        
                            document.location = requestImage;  
        
                        //}  
        
                    }

I have the following code implemented on to my FileSystemHandler.ashx file :-

                }

Also, I have used the following in the ASPX Page :-

    
            <telerik:RadFileExplorer runat="server" ID="DocumentsRadFileExplorer" Width="734px" 
        
                                Height="400px" VisibleControls="All" EnableCreateNewFolder="true" EnableCopy="true" EnableOpenFile="true" 
        
                                OnClientMove="OnClientMove" OnClientFileOpen="OnClientFileOpen" OnClientDelete="OnClientDelete" OnClientLoad="attachHandlers" > 
        
                         <Configuration SearchPatterns="*.*"></Configuration> 
        
                            </telerik:RadFileExplorer>

Now whenever I try to open the file with .doc or .docx or .pdf extension file does not get open in MS word format. PDF file opens ups but with its name changed as FileHandler.pdf.

Apart form that, I have used all the sample that has been sent by all your member earlier but all in vain.

Below is the list of javascript function that I have used so far :-

    
                   function OnClientFileOpen(sender, args)      
        
            {  
        
               var item = args.get_item();  
        
               if (item && !item.isDirectory() && (item.get_extension() == "docx") && (item.get_extension() == "doc"))  
        
               {  
        
                   //file is a MS Office document, do not open a new window.    
        
                   args.set_cancel(true);  
        
                   //tell browser to open file directly  
        
                   //window.location.href = item.get_url();

RadRotator Server Side

I add a RadRotator to my page control collection dynamically. I create a new itemTemplate and assign a datasource.

DataTable dataTable = GetDataSetFromXml().Tables[0];

RadRotator1.ItemTemplate = new RotatorItemTemplate();

RadRotator1.DataSource = dataTable;

RadRotator1.DataBind();

RadRotator1.ScrollDirection = RotatorScrollDirection.Up.

....

private class RotatorItemTemplate : ITemplate

{

Label literal;

public void InstantiateIn(Control container)

{

literal = new Label();

literal.DataBinding += literal_DataBinding;

container.Controls.Add(literal);

}

static void literal_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Label labelControl = (Label)sender;

RadRotatorItem rotatorItem = (RadRotatorItem)labelControl.NamingContainer;

string html = (string)((DataRowView)rotatorItem.DataItem)["Html"];

labelControl.Text = "<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\"><tr><td>" + html + "</td></tr></table>";

}

When i run my project the rotator shows all the rotatoritems side by side; the rotator doen't scroll.
The RadScriptManagers is included in the page.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Disable automatic expanding of tree node

Is it possible to disable automatic expanding of a tree node?

When I select a folder that has children, the explorer automatically opens that tree. I don't want that to happen. I only want the tree to expand if the user explicitly clicks the "+" plus button.
