Change the Default Keyboard Behavior in RadGridView for Winform

Hello,

Help !!!
I have similar issue as in the post http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/gridview/disable-key-enter-to-go-to-next-line-row.aspx

What I need is that inputing cell and then press keyboard 'Enter' key to move to next cell for a new row in RadGridView (Winform). Now the issue is keyboard 'Enter' for given cell will add new row immediately but not move to next cell on right. I don't want to complete adding new row before leaving serveral cells with empty.

The Telerik Winform version (2011.3.11.1219) I have installed as:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for WinForms Q3 2011 SP1\Bin\Telerik.WinControls.GridView.dll

Warm regards,
Stanley

RadLabel to mimic RadTextBox look

I want to make a RadLabel look like a RadTextBox in the current theme, but I have not been able to figure out how to fully accomplish this.

I need to display read-only data on a dialog, but using the RadTextBox and setting ReadOnly to true does not give the behavior I want. The control is still selectable, it takes focus and tab, and the text is still selectable. Even if I set Focusable=false and TabStop=false it behaves the same. If I set Enabled=false the behavior seems correct, but the control becomes grayed out which is not how I want it to look.

If I use a RadLabel to show this data it behaves correctly: it does not accept focus and does not let the user select text in it. If I set the BackColor to like "White" it looks close to how I want it to look, but if I do this it no longer follows the theme. What I want to do is something like set BackColor to whatever the BackColor of a RadTextBox would be in the current theme, but it does not look like themes are applied in this way.

So, is there a way to ask the current theme what the BackColor of a RadTextBox should be? Is there some other way to accomplish this?

Thanks

MDIWindowListItem Missing

Hi there,

I'm trying to replace a windows menuStrip control with a radmenu and couldn't find the MDIWindowListItemm attribute in the radmenu. Is there a replacement attribute for that on the radMenu?

Collapse/Hide ToolTabStrip Close Button

Hi,

How can I hide/collapse the toolTabStrip close button permanently. I used " toolTabStrip1.CloseButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;" and "((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadButtonElement)(this.toolTabStrip1.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(2).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(2).GetChildAt(0))).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;" but it's not working properly. I attached a screen shot.

Many thanks,

Ian

Getting visible dates from RadCalendar

I'm using Winforms 2011.3.11.1116. I'm trying to position another control on top of a RadCalendar (a textbox) as part of a small WYSIWYG calendar-printing app. I will position the textbox to fill the largest remaining space on the calendar--meaning the largest space on the calendar that does not contain any days from the focused month--, either at the top or bottom. Of course, to do this, I need to be able to figure out WHERE the largest remaining space is.

I have the calendar in a 6 row month view, and I set ShowOtherMontDays to false. I have tried the following:

1) My first thought was to ask the DefaultView for the month and the first and last day shown in the view, then do the necessary calculations to figure out where the "space" was. No go, because the ViewStartDate and ViewEndDate properties refer to the first and last day of the month (which I can figure out myself from the month), NOT the first and last element rendered.

2) Then I thought I should iterate through the elements, getting the dates and finding the min and max. But ... there is no iterable collection that I can find. That was, to put it mildly, surprising. (As it was in a related thread for a different technology:http://www.sitefinity.com/devnet/forums/sitefinity-3-x/general-discussions/radcalendar-search-date-and-bold-it.aspx ).

3) Next I thought to try a combination of Navigating and ElementRender. In Navigating, I would set a Min and Max date to a sentinel value, then in ElementRender I would find the min and max dates as they were rendered. However, for some odd reason, at least one date in the previous view is, at least sometimes, rendered after Navigating fires. Though this is annoying, I could cache all the dates, then figure out which one was not like the others (say, sort the list, and find wherever there was a gap between dates). But, there is also the problem of the initial view, which does not trigger the Navigating or Navigated events.

This seems much too complicated, to me, so I guessed that I was probably not thinking of the best way to solve this problem.

Thoughts?

Zoom

Has anyone ever tried to create some zoom on an image control. We have a "Book" that we are creating from images and we would need the ability to zoom so the users can see the text better when reading them. Any ideas would be great.

Remove background from RadSplitButtonElement on Ribbon

Hi. I am using a customized theme based on Office2010Black with the 2011 Q3 SP1 build. I have noticed that all of the other items in the ribbon of my app have no background - their background is transparent and it shows the nice gradient of the ribbon.

However, the RadSplitButtonElements on my ribbon have a background gradient on them. I would like to remove this background so that they look like the rest of the buttons. Since this is how the Microsoft Office 2010 applications do it (their Paste button is like a split button), I would like to do the same.

I do not see a place to do this in the Visual Style Builder. I looked under, in the VSB Controls Structure pane, RadRibbonBar --> RadRibbonBarGroup. I expected to find a "SplitButtonInRibbon" element under RadRibbonBarGroup, but it's not there.

How do I do what I want to accomplish with the VSB? Thanks!
