[Solved] I'm unable to use this control

[Aneesh]

Hi everyone,



I'm a bit confused on how to use RadControls. So I added "RadControls for Metro" to my references, and referenced it on my BlankPage1.xaml like this: I'm following these instructions: http://www.telerik.com/help/metro-xaml/common-create-application-and-adding-control.html

<Page

x:Class="Alarm_Clock.BlankPage1"

IsTabStop="false"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:Alarm_Clock"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

xmlns:telerik="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls"

mc:Ignorable="d">

However nothing comes up when I try to add <telerik:RadTimePicker> (no suggestions come up after I type <telerik: ). I'm very confused on what's going and how to use these controls. I think the controls (shown on this site) look wonderful and I'd love to use them, but unfortunately I'm unable to do so. What am I doing wrong?



Thanks in advance,

Squeesh

Hello Aneesh,

Thank you for your interest in our suite. We have checked your downloads and it seems that you are using preview version where RadTimePicker and RadDatePicker were not included. I can suggest to upgrade to version 2012.1.815 (our latest official version), where these controls are included. You download it from here - http://www.telerik.com/download-trial-file.aspx?pid=981 

Let us know if you have any further questions or issues.

All the best,
Ivaylo Gergov

Thanks for the reply Ivaylo!



This is quite funny, as the timepicker randomly started to work yesterday! I'll hold back on upgrading versions, as I'm not sure if I'll have to redo or change anything I have right now. Currently I'm just experimenting with what I can do with the controls.



Thanks again for helping!
