Hey Telerik!

We are currently evalutaing your windows forms control suite and have hit a road block.  One of our custom controls that we created relies on a base windows form which contains all the drag/drop logic, etc.  The other forms then inherit from this base form.  This works perfectly with regular windows forms.

When I tried to set up a simple scenario with a base form and have a second form inherit from the base, I am unable to add any controls in the designer and instead am greeted with this design error:

"   The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: InheritBase --- The base class 'WindowsApplication1.RadFormBase' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built. "

I have uploaded my simple test here :  http://www.vbninja.com/baseformtest.zip

Thanks
Mark

Hi,

What is the best way to validate a raddropdownlist?  I'v looked at the _Validating Event but this appears to only fire when you select another control.

When I try the selectedvlue_changed this appears to fire when the control is being databound etc.

Any help or pointers would be great.

Thanks
Karl

I made a Test-Project to test the RadDock and got a error when setting Properties of "AutoHideStripLayout" via Designer.
Also i want to get rid of the BackColor because I only want the dafeault Winforms look.

See the sample-project. http://www.file-upload.net/download-4121547/RadDockTest.zip.html

In this online doc topic: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-populating-with-data-binding-to-bindinglist.html

it shows how to bind a bindinglist of business objects to the gridview.  I can see that the ListChanged event can be trapped for insert and delete and changes persisted to the database.  my question is:  how does one persist edits made in the grid that immeditaly update the underlying binding list back to the database?  what bindinglist event should I subscribe to for the update?  how do I get the index of the edited row from this event?

Do you have an working example of persisting a gridview/bindinglist back to a database without using a LINQ context or an ORM?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Is there an equivalent theme in winforms to the "Expression_Dark" theme that comes with the WPF tools?

I have been using Expression Dark for a WPF project and have just started working on one in Winforms and would like to use a theme similar to expression dark. 

Are there any other themes out there other than the ones that come out of the box with the controls? I am not a huge fan of the Office 2010 or Telerik Metro or Windows 7 themes that come with the controls. 

I am aware that I could use the Visual Style Builder, but currently do not have the time to do so. 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I am displaying the data in the grid in hierarchical fashion, here I have a requirement that that last column should always be fixed to the right most side of the grid, this is working fine when we are having more number of columns and we are getting a scroll bar at the bottom for the columns but it is not working fine when we have very less no of columns in the grid, the last column is moving to the left side.
Could you please help me in this regard.

Thanks & Regards

I have two arrays of numbers each with 2801 values in a line chart. Using a StopWatch object to time loading it takes about 900 ms to assign the values to the series using Series.SetValues(arrayofdoublevalues). This I can live with. It takes about 45 seconds to do the initial draw or to redraw on a move or when the window is brought back from being minimized and the initial draw only happens (most of the time) if I call Refresh after assigning the data.

Is this typical behavior or is there something I can do that will speed it up?

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

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

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?
