Textbox style bindings not working

[Arun Kumar]

I want to display value of textbox like treeview in table report item. I am using one database field to set the left padding. But it does not work. If I use html preview it shows as expected but not in normal preview / silverlight application.

This is what i am doing:

public static Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit GetLeftPadding(double lvl)
        {
            if (lvl <= 1)
                return Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Pixel(0);
            else
                return Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Pixel(lvl * 15);
        }

in textbox bindings property I added one new binding with the following:
Property Path :  Style.Padding.Left
Expression:  = GetLeftPadding(CDbl(Fields.Lvl))

What could the reason? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Arun Kumar,

Unfortunately you are correct and we were able to reproduce the problem. I've logged this issue in our bug tracking system and it would be addressed in a subsequent version of the product. As a workaround our suggestion is to set the value to an user function that will add empty space as shown in the following code snippet:

public static object GetLeftPadding(double lvl, object value)
        {
            if (lvl <= 1)
                return value;
            else
                return " "+value;
        }

Your Telerik points have been updated for bringing this to our attention. Sorry for the inconvenience.
