Greetings,

we have just recently aquired Telerik Premium Collection and while exploring its rich funcionality a few questions have arisen about GridView. We are using WinForms and OpenAccess Q3 2011.

1) In combination with OpenAccess what is the best approach when trying to implement automatic CRUD operations on gridview, so far we have looked in knowledge base, code library and demos but information about this is scarce. So how can CRUD be implemented using only grid and binding source without any code behind?

2) Is it possible to have a custom insert template (like in ASP.NET Ajax Grid - InsertItemTemplate) in GridView which can be customized either in code or with Property Builder? Or is it possible to change the GridNewRowElement during grid binding and which event to use?

As an example lets say we have a simple table City in database with ID, Country_ID, State_ID, Name and Description columns. When we bind the grid using BindingSource we show only ID, Name and Description columns and also set the ID coulmn to be read only, however when the user wants to insert a new row the ID column should not be read only because we want the user to manually set the ID. Moreover the insert row should have two comboboxes using its own data sources (from Country and State tables) which would enable the user to select appropriate values from a dropdown menu (county name and state name). Basically we want to have two templates - one for view and one for insert (and potencially also an edit template).

3) Since we are using OpenAccess, is it possible to extract a doimain class object bound to a row during/after edit (in CellValueChanging/Changed) so we dont have to use e.Row.Cells[x].Value beacuse its more error prone?

Any kind of samples (projects especially) or links would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone

public void FillGridCombo(ref Telerik.Web.UI.RadGrid grd, int iCol, DataTable lDTSrc, string sID, string sDisplay)
    {
        try
        {
            System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary hList = new System.Collections.Specialized.ListDictionary();
            int iRow = 0;
            for (iRow = 0; iRow <= lDTSrc.Rows.Count - 1; iRow++)
            {
                hList.Add(lDTSrc.Rows[iRow][sID], lDTSrc.Rows[iRow][sDisplay]);
            }
            grd.Columns[iCol].Initialize();
            grd.Columns[iCol].GetCustomPropertyDataFields(hList);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;

        }
    }

I used this function for getting data in combobox column in ASP.NET Rad GridView which works f9.
I need to know the alternate for the bold rows or if someone has better solution please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Team,

when i try to use latest telerik radcontrols for winforms q3 2011 version, it is showing much differnce in design of shellform for that i am attaching 2 sample prototypes showing these differences.

In both these prototypes i have used size of radribbonbar and deckworkspace are more or less same.In sampletelerikQ2proto project,i have set layourworkspace.dock as none.if i give fill then it fills the whole form,but this does not happen in sampletelerikq3proto.

Herewith i have attached 2 small prototypes of telerik radcontrols for winforms (q3 & q2) 2011 version.

please clarify my above doubts.

Thanks,
Ulaga

RadPageView will be the successor of RadTabStrip and RadPanelBar by providing different views over a collection of pages. Each page is a stand-alone Panel where controls may be added through the Visual Studio Designer. The control is fully customizable yet greatly optimized for both memory consumption and performance. It will offer better item sizing and spacing, as well as extended orientation modes over the other two controls. Read more in the following blog posts:

• RadPageView – next generation WinForms navigation control
• RadPageView for WinForms: what’s inside?

What will happen to the old controls?

The old controls will be supported for at least one year after the release of Q2 2010. Users will nevertheless be encouraged to use RadPageView since it addresses the fundamental shortcomings of the previous controls.

Is upgrading to the new controls easy?

Upgrading from the old to the new control should be easy and painless, unless you have extended the previous controls with custom functionality. If this is the case, please contact Telerik support and we will help you move to the new version. We will also try to provide an automatic upgrade tool with Q2 2010 SP1.

Videos and instructions on how to upgrade from the old versions to the new control will be posted shortly.

How do I get support for the new controls?

To get technical support, either contact Telerik support or post in the PageView Forum.

I have a RadSpinEditor with the following ValueChanging event handler:


Basically if the user has other requirements that depend on the value in the spin editor I don't want them to be allowed to change the spinner.  That seems to work fine, but the buttons on the spinner get stuck once the operation has been Cancelled, and the next time that button is pressed it behaves as though it was in it's old state.  For example (assuming the spinner has an integer value), I increment the spinner to 3 (#1 from screen shot).  Let's say the user has a requirement that prevents them from lowering the spinner value below 2.  Now I decrement the spinner twice (#2 from screen shot).  The first one works, lowering the value to 2.  The second click causes the operation to be canceled.  Now say I increment the value to 5 (#3 from screen shot, note 'depressed' spinner button').  The NEXT time I try to decrement (just once), the value returns to 2 (#4 from screen shot), the last value that caused the operation to be cancelled.  I would expect it to return to 4, 3, then 2.  You can see that the down button on the spinner stays highlighted after the operation is cancelled.  I know this probably sounds confusing.  Please try to follow the screen shot provided, and let me know if you need more detail.

Hi all,

Is there a way to show the appointment edit dialog in read-only when an appointment has the property AllowEdit set to false, instead of not showing the edit dialog at all.

The problem is that it isn't possible to see all the information of the appointment.

Greetings

I'm trying to force the keyboard input into the MultiColumn ComboBox to upper case and limit it to 3 characters. I tried setting the 'ColumnCharacterCasing' and MaxLength' of the bound grid column, but this didn't work. Any suggestions?

If you end edit on any spin edit control in a gridview it plays the windows ding sound. Is there any way stop this?

Thanks

Hi.

I have defined a set of columns that are bound to my BindingList<RowEntry> collection. This works like it should. I am now in the process of adding some extra columns dynamically. How do I populate these? is there a "DidNotFoundPropertyManuallySetCellData" event? :-)
