Problem in StripElement Visible/Collapsed

Good morning.
I have a CommandBar with 5 strips in it. Note I don't want users to rearrange the strips, so in my real project I removed this possibility. I run the project and I see all the 5 strips, see image1.png attached file. Now I set Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed for strips 2, 3 and 5. The strip disappears but strip 4 stays where it is. So I try with strip4.DesiredLocation = Pointf.Empty, and the behavior is what I want (see image2.png). When I set Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible again (for strips 2, 3 and 5), the order of the strips is messed up, and is 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, but I wanted to get them exactly in the previous order. How can I solve this problem?

Thank you
Gianfranco

Export to Excel - Multiple Grids

I have a dashboard with 3 separate grids on it, while I can export each grid to a separate excel file that works great. I was wondering if it's possible to export the 3 grids to a single excel file but on different sheets?

Thanks in advance.

Programatically setting the value of a GridViewComboBoxColumn

Hi,

I have a GridView that is unbound. I manually add the rows and the columns, one of which is a GridViewComboBoxColumn (other columns omitted):

var departmentColumn = new GridViewComboBoxColumn();

departmentColumn.HeaderText = "Department";

departmentColumn.Name = "departmentColumn";

departmentColumn.Width = 120;

departmentColumn.DisplayMember = "Name";

departmentColumn.ValueMember = "Id";

departmentColumn.DataSource = _departments;

grid.MasterTemplate.Columns.AddRange(new GridViewDataColumn[]

{

departmentColumn

});

_departments is a list containing a number of Department objects, which have among other things a Name property and an Id property.

I manually add the rows to the grid like this (still, other columns omitted):

var row = grid.Rows.AddNew();

row.Cells[0].Value = "Department A";

I would like this to result in a new row in the grid, where "Department A" is selected in the list of values in the GridViewComboBoxColumn. However, this doesn't work. Trying to set the name results in a FormatException ("Input string was not in a correct format.")

I feel silly for having to ask because it must be dead simple, but I am stuck!

Best regards

DataGridView Locks if BindingSource EndEdit causes Exception

Hi,

I have a RadForm(Child) with a BindingSource a DataSet and a DataGridView

the DataSet is populated from SQL and is then set as the BindingSource DataSource
the DataGridView DataSource is then set to the BindingSource

I also have a RadRibbonForm(Main)

This has a RadRibbon, a RadDock. The IsMdiContainer is set to true and the RadDock is set to automaticly detect Mdi Children
There is a button on the RadRibbonBar that will call endedit on the child form to save the data.

This is now where I'm hitting a problem. If i call the endedit from a button on the Child form then any error is caught by the DataGridView and everything works as expected. If I call the EndEdit from the button on the RadRibbonBar then the EndEdit causes a Exception the error is still caught by the DataGridView but then the DataGridView is frozen/Locked and i cannot change any Values until I remove the afending line and click the button again.

A Example Project can be Downloaded From ExampleProject.zip

Any Help would be Nice :D

Thanks

David

DocumentCloseButton Event?

I'm using the Q3 2009 Telerik controls (2009.3.9.1203) and have a scenario where I populate a RadDock initially and allow the user to add/remove additional DocumentWindows. When the user closes a DocumentWindow through the 'X' next to each tab (the button added to the title by setting ShowDocumentCloseButton to true), I'd like a prompt to come up to warn the user that they'd lose their data. However, the application at points removes and adds DocumentWindows to the same RadDock, and I don't want the prompt to appear in those scenarios.

Right now I am hooked into the DockWindowClosing event. Through debugging I haven't found any information in the sender or event args that specify where the event was called from. In this case, when the program has to programmatically remove forms the user gets the prompt I created. I figure the best way to go about this is to ditch using the DockWindowClosing event, and try to hook into the Click event of that DocumentCloseButton.

Is this at all possible? Is there another way to achieve what I'd like to do?

Disable keytips or catch the alt key

Hello again,

actually it is neccessary for us to perform another action if the alt-key is pressed. For example Alt+F1 performs an action and so on. But if we are pressing the alt-key, only the keytips of the ribbon are showing up and no other command is executed. But we need the keytips too, so is it possible to show the keytips only then if absolutely no other key is pressed (may on the keyup event and not at the keydown)?

Greetings

Export Hierarchy to Excel and Maintain Widths

I need the widths set by the user to be maintained when I export to Excel (using ExportToExcelML). It works for non-hierarchical, but when I set ExportHierarchy to true, it no longer works. I understand that the child widths might conflict with the parent widths and it's not feasible to maintain both, but how can I at least maintain the parent widths?
