Hi Support Team,

I am having difficulties using WinForms UI components in combination with System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutPanel. I wanted to follow the suggestions of using this panel to create HDPI aware UIs.

Component nesting is like this:

• RadForm
  • RadLayoutControl
    • LayoutControlTabbedGroup
      • LayoutControlGroupItem1
      • LayoutControlGroupItem2
        • LayoutControlItem1
          • TableLayoutPanel1
    • LayoutControlItem2
      • TableLayoutPanel2
    • LayoutControlItem3
      • RadButton1

When I am in the default "CSharp Form Editor" I'm not able to place the UI components into the TableLayoutPanel. The designer always tries to create a new LayoutControlItem in the RadLayoutControl. E.g. when trying to add a RadButton into the TableLayoutPanel2, it creates the RadButton1 right next to the TableLayoutPanel2 (or below/above;) into a new LayoutControlItem3, but not IN the desired column/row of the TableLayoutPanel2.

I tried a workaround by creating a standard Form and placing a TableLayoutPanel into it. Then adding all the UI components I want in it and afterwards copy+paste it into the LayoutControlGroupItem of another RadForm. However this approach seems to not attach it to any LayoutControlItem by using the Designer. It just gets added to the RadLayoutControl. I then tried to manually write the Designer Code by looking at how the Example code is generated, but that also is not reliable and I'm having an issue with getting the TableLayoutPanel docked to the "manually created" LayoutControlItem.

My question:

1. How can I get this to work or is this combination not intended/supported?

Environment

• Visual Studio 2022 v17.12.4
• .NET Framework 4.8
• Telerik WinForms UI 2024.4.1113.48

Added my example project and a screenshot of the designer while dragging a new RadLabel (or similar) onto the TableLayoutPanel.

Edit1: Added another screenshot of intended behavior.

Thanks and regards,

Kai

I need to display a list of radio button elements, for that I did is created a rad panel, inside the rad panel I added a WrapLayoutpanel, Inside that I added the list of RadRadioButtonElement, The problem I am facing is if the court of the RadRadioButtonElement increases the text are truncated, It works in bigger resolution but not in smaller one, I kind of figure out if the width of the RadRadioButtonElement is greater than the text are not rendered right.

Sample code

HI,

I use the RadLayoutControl  on WinForm environment。

I had tried many times to adjust layout ,and it can not get consistent layout which is load by the same xml file between Customize Layout Mode loading and Programing loading。

Is it existed for any porperty or methd to set the layout to be consitent  between Customize Layout Mode loading and Programing loading ? thank a lot !

When Adding a Label in a GridLayout

var element = new RadLabelElement()
 element.SetValue(GridLayout.ColSpanProperty, colspan);
            element.SetValue(GridLayout.RowIndexProperty, row);
            element.SetValue(GridLayout.ColumnIndexProperty, column);

I am required to call an API endpoint, which is return a list of strings. This I have working.

Each item within that list is a daily announcement which is a block of text, that needs to be displaying within a scrolling parent frame. Please refer to the attached .PNG file with a screenshot of the mockup I got from our project managers.

I am not sure which is the best way to do this, as I'm relatively new to Telerik Winform UI. I am looking at either a:

DataGridView
ListControl
List of labels within a panel.

Just trying to find the most effective and simple way to do this. Any suggestions?

I am having problems understanding how to use this control.   I have already created a form without it, but I can start all over, no problem.  I just find it confusing how to lay it out.    I have attached a screen shot of what I want in the layout control.  Perhaps a short video demonstrating on how to partially construct this layout.  

Hello,

I have a hard time trying to customize a group header. I use something like this:

this.layoutControlGroupItem1.HeaderElement.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#008de7");

this.layoutControlGroupItem1.HeaderElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;

this.layoutControlGroupItem1.HeaderElement.HeaderButtonElement.DrawFill = false;

It works fine. But if I want to load a custom layout using RadLayoutCountrol's LoadLayout first, then this code does nothing...

I must be missing something elementary...

Thanks in advance for help
