What would be the best way to print a RadCalendar? Ideally, I could throw a read-only version of the calendar I created on a report.

The function of my current sub-project is to print out an on-call schedule each month (to be passed around to various departments, etc.). The entry form allows the user to double click a day in the calendar and add an assignment ... and that form looks good. Now I go to print it, and I can't find anything on RadCalendar that allows for printing or easy export to PDF/DOC/image, and I go to Reporting and there is nothing that is easily time-based.

I could create a report kludge of generic textboxes for each possible permutation of the calendar, then do the computations to figure out which box goes in which, then fill it out, but ... geez. Surely there is a built-in way to do this that I'm missing.

Thoughts?

Combining SelfReference and Relation

Hello,
I am trying to do SelfReference and adding relation together in the grid.
I have 2 collection: ProjectTemplate and ProjectTask. Each of these 2 contains selfreference 2 each other and they also have relation between them.Checkout code snipet below.
Note: "ProjectContract" is datacontract containing these 2 collection.
"ProjectContract.TemplateContracts" is ProjectTemplate Collection and"ProjectContract.TaskContracts" is ProjectTask Collection.

radGridView1.MasterTemplate.DataSource = ProjectContract.TemplateContracts;

radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Templates.Add(new GridViewTemplate() { DataSource = ProjectContract.TaskContracts });

radGridView1.Relations.AddSelfReference(radGridView1.MasterTemplate, "ProjectTemplateId", "ParentProjectTemplateId");

radGridView1.Relations.AddSelfReference(radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Templates[0], "ProjectTaskId", "ParentProjectTaskId");

var relation = new GridViewRelation(radGridView1.MasterTemplate, radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Templates[0])

{

RelationName = "TemplateTask"

};

relation.ParentColumnNames.Add("ProjectTemplateId");

relation.ChildColumnNames.Add("ParentProjectTemplateId");

radGridView1.Relations.Add(relation);

I am getting somewhat desirable result. I am getting self hierarchy of ProjectTemplate and relation of template and task. But i am unable to get self hierarchy of Project Task.
Please checkout image attached below for more clarification.

Thanks,

RadMultiColumnCombobox automatically select the first item

Hello!
I have a problem with RadMultiColumnCombobox.
I'm using Telerik Control Q2 2011 and VS 2010.
I have a form like the below code:

            Form f1 = new Form();
            RadDock rd1 = new RadDock();
            rd1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            DocumentWindow dw1 = new DocumentWindow();
            rd1.AddDocument(dw1);
            DocumentWindow dw2 = new DocumentWindow();
            rd1.AddDocument(dw2);
            RadMultiColumnComboBox cbx1 = new RadMultiColumnComboBox();
            dw1.Controls.Add(cbx1);
            cbx1.DataSource = GetAllCountries(); (I get list items in the database)
            f1.Controls.Add(rd1);
            f1.Show();

When I select one item in cbx1 and do a drag-drop action in dw1, cbx1 will always automatically select the first item.
If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks!

[Solved] SelectedIndexChanged problem

Hi,

I have an RadDropDownList filled with some items using DataSource and bounded functionality.
When I in the SelectedIndexChanged event tries to reset the selectedvalue to the original (the one before i changed), the control simply wont listen to my commands ;)

This is the code I use in the SelectedIndexChanged event:

void AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)

{

if (_init || _selectedAgreement == (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue) return;

if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to change the agreement?", "Change Agreement", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No)

{

AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue = _selectedAgreement;

return;

}

_selectedAgreement = (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue;

}

The rest of the code of the form is here:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace TestDropDownList

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

private readonly IList<Agreement> _agreements = new List<Agreement>();

private int _selectedAgreement;

private readonly bool _init = false;

public Form1()

{

_init = true;

InitializeComponent();

AgreementRadDropDown.ItemDataBound += AgreementRadDropDownItemDataBound;

AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedIndexChanged += AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanged;

LoadAgreements();

_selectedAgreement = 2;

AgreementRadDropDown.SuspendUpdate();

AgreementRadDropDown.DisplayMember = "Name";

AgreementRadDropDown.ValueMember = "Id";

AgreementRadDropDown.DataSource = _agreements;

AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue = _selectedAgreement;

AgreementRadDropDown.ResumeUpdate();

_init = false;

}

void AgreementRadDropDownSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)

{

if (_init || _selectedAgreement == (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue) return;

if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to change the agreement?", "Change Agreement", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No)

{

AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue = _selectedAgreement;

return;

}

_selectedAgreement = (int)AgreementRadDropDown.SelectedValue;

}

private void LoadAgreements()

{

_agreements.Add(new Agreement(1, "Agreement1", Properties.Resources._lock));

_agreements.Add(new Agreement(2, "Agreement2", Properties.Resources._lock));

_agreements.Add(new Agreement(3, "Agreement3", Properties.Resources.lock_unlock));

_agreements.Add(new Agreement(4, "Agreement4", Properties.Resources._lock));

_agreements.Add(new Agreement(5, "Agreement5", Properties.Resources.lock_unlock));

_agreements.Add(new Agreement(6, "Agreement6", Properties.Resources._lock));

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

static void AgreementRadDropDownItemDataBound(object sender, ListItemDataBoundEventArgs args)

{

var item = args.NewItem.DataBoundItem as Agreement;

if (item != null)

args.NewItem.Image = item.StatusImage;

}

public class Agreement

{

public int Id { get; set; }

public string Name { get; set; }

public Image StatusImage { get; set; }

public Agreement(int id, string name, Image statusImage)

{

Id = id;

Name = name;

StatusImage = statusImage;

}

namespace TestDropDownList

{

partial class Form1

{

/// <summary>

/// </summary>

private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

/// <summary>

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

{

if (disposing && (components != null))

{

components.Dispose();

}

base.Dispose(disposing);

}

#region Windows Form Designer generated code

/// <summary>

private void InitializeComponent()

{

this.AgreementRadDropDown = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadDropDownList();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.AgreementRadDropDown)).BeginInit();

this.SuspendLayout();

//

// AgreementRadDropDown

//

this.AgreementRadDropDown.DropDownAnimationEnabled = true;

this.AgreementRadDropDown.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(48, 37);

this.AgreementRadDropDown.Name = "AgreementRadDropDown";

this.AgreementRadDropDown.ShowImageInEditorArea = true;

this.AgreementRadDropDown.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(222, 20);

this.AgreementRadDropDown.TabIndex = 0;

this.AgreementRadDropDown.Text = "radDropDownList1";

//

// Form1

//

this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);

this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;

this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(318, 167);

this.Controls.Add(this.AgreementRadDropDown);

this.Name = "Form1";

this.Text = "Form1";

this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.AgreementRadDropDown)).EndInit();

this.ResumeLayout(false);

this.PerformLayout();

}

#endregion

private Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadDropDownList AgreementRadDropDown;

}

I use two images in my project.. they are attached here and need to be added to the resource file of the project to make this look like the one i have here :)

What am i doing wrong?

The wizard dialog window that contains the Grid is re-sizable and I would like to have the Telerik Grid dynamically resize as the user re-sizes the Wizard dialog.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

[Solved] Combobox GridView Column

Hi,
Congrats on your lovely gridview control.
That is exactly what many people needed and i'm sure that you will continuing with many new features.
In my view it will be great to implement the full combobox functionality on the gridview column. I mean the filtering and autocomplete functionality as well. May be there is a way but i can not find it, so please let me know.
Regards,

[Solved] Initially, after data-binding, the first row is selected, but why it IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED?

I don't know why you can allow such a strange behavior of RadGridView to be existed for so long.
Initally, after data-binding, the first row will be selected, that's fine, some row has to be selected anyway, however, in this case, it IS NOT highlighted? Don't you think that it may confuse user? ("What the hell these data come from, I didn't select anything, it didn't say that I select anything, what's going on?")

I would like to have solution for it: Either disable first row select after data-binding (I didn't see any "SelectedIndex" so that I can set it to -1), or have the first row be highlighted as it is selected.

Thanks

Lamk.
