What I thought was going to be a simple issue, hasn't turned into one. Basically I need to autosize a column based on the contents in the dropdown.

The grid is bound to a BindingList<T> as well as the combobox column. The values that appear in the combobox (DisplayMember) are based on resources, so it's possible the width of the required column could changed based on the resource id and the string returned. I need to automatically adjust the width of the GridViewComboBoxColumn based on the contents in the combo box. Currently I'm using the <column>.BestFit() method, but this only works based on the displayed data, I've tried using the AutoSizeMode property after the call of BestFit() call as explained in help but there is nothing there that says to use width of the values in the drop down (by the way there is an error in the names of the enumerators for this setting BestFitColumnMode.SymmaryRowCells - it should be BestFitColumnMode.SummaryRowCells, but I digress)

An example, based on resourceID

en-US                     fr-FR                es-MX
XXX                         XXXXXXXX        XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
YYYYYY                  YYYY              YYYYYY

I need the width of the column to adjust based on the max length of whatever could be displayed to the user, in the example above, if the resource id is set to es-MX, the width of the column should be larger (wider) than it is if the resourceID is en-US, and the same for fr-FR.

Hopefully I haven't over-complicated the explanation of the problem. Thank you in advance,

Hi

We're trying to group by a field called CompanyName. The grid seems to show the group but it creates a group per record. I tried hooked into the GroupSummaryEvaluate event and when I look at the e.Value it's null?

If I remove the grouping I can see that CompanyName has values

Why is it showing "CompanyName : " instead of "CompanyName : Some Company Name" ?

Hi,
I have a radgridview setup wth a hierarchy. I would like this grid to refresh every ten seconds as new information could be added to the database from another source, so it needs to be kept up-to-date. I did have a timer which would fire every ten seconds which reloaded the data.

The only problem is, if I have a row expanded or select a row and the grid reloads the selected row is lost and the sub grids close. Is there any way I can  keep this open while the data refreshes? ie the new row would be added at the bottom?

Any ideas or pointers would be great.

Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to solve this simply soundling problem for hour now. I am trying to adjust the minimum width of the popup of a DropDownList.

I tried something like 

rddl_Consignor_Iso.Popup.MinimumSize = New Size(500, 200)
or 
rddl_Consignor_Iso.DropDownListElement.DropDownMinSize = New Size(500, 200)
or
rddl_Consignor_Iso.DropDownMinSize = New Size(500, 200)

and some other coding.

All worked fine, when using the arrow button with the mouse. The popup then is in the expected width.
But when entering the box using the keyboard and typing some letters, the box pops up only in the same width as the DropDownList control.
I'm getting mad on this. Which value do I have to set to get an acceptable result?
Cheers Roberto

Hello sir,

Am using vb.net.
I am using radmulti column combobox with FILTER and Autocompletemode as suggest.

I have attached 2 files as Odd row & even row selection images.
Odd rows selection in drop down highlights correct with arrow mark in first column of each rows.
But if i select 2,4,6th.... rows in drop down, first half of the text hides as like in second image "even rows selection"

Also If i try to filter then the drop down height and width changes while opening the drop down.

How to rectify it sir?
I have to use AutoSizeDropDownToBestFit = True, because combobox holds values of size 200.

Thank you
Jayanthi

 

Hello,
I seem to have a problem on my GridView : I add a column and specify its datatypeconverter this way :
It works fine, the CanConvert and Convert methods are called as expected

However, what I need is an image column. If I change the previous code to this :
All my column's cells remain empty, and I never step in any of the TypeConverter's methods.

Is there anything obvious I don't see ? (I'm using the Q3 2011 version of the controls)

Thanks in advance !

The standard windows ComboBox fires the DropDown event when the button in the combobox is clicked. What is the equivalent event in the RadDropDownList control?

Hi to all,
I have problem to use value from cell in summary row.

On my winform I have two radgridviews with their summary rows. How can I use that values to calculate their sum and show that result in some radlabel?

RadLabel1.Text = sum of column "days" on RadGridView1+ sum of column "items" on RadGridView2



Thanks,

Using VS Express 2010, Win 7 w/.Net 4 and .Net EF 4.1.   So far, to add controls, I have to go to toolbox and manual add each Telerik control I want to use.   That's okay if this is the way I have to do it.   Eventually, I will get all the ones I want to play with.

I am trying to find my way around.   One simple task is I would like to create oval-shaped buttons.   I can go into the root properties and dig around until I find that I can select an ellipse shape, and it even appears like an ellipse in my designer.   But when I debug, it totally ignores my shape selection.  I also tried changing background color, but it totally ignores that, as well.   Of course, I can do all the regular C# things, such as make the button bigger or smaller, or change its text.   But I can't seem to "Telerik" it.

I am using a straight-forward Windows Form.

Telerik looks promising, but I'd sure like to be able to kick the tires as much as possible before my trial runs out.....

Thanks.

EDIT:   I see that disabling theming allowed it to recognize the background color I picked.   That issue is solved.   Now, how about getting my ellipse shape to render at runtime?
