Could use help getting started with trial

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?

Help with simple carousel layout needed please

Hey all,

I'm trying to do a very simple carousel, with just 3 buttons, each with a 128px image and text underneath. The layout I'm trying to achieve (I keep getting close, but cannot get it right), is to have the main/active button to be front and center, with the 2 other buttons aligned evenly behind and to the side (respectively) of the main/active button. The 2 inactive buttons would ideally be slightly opaque to help the main/active button stand out.

I've attached a crude, but simple drawing of what the layout should look like (although I don't think the pic is perfectly aligned).

Any chance someone can help me with the carousel path settings? Maybe someone already has done this and can just provide the correct settings.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

GridCommandCell Element still appears disabled after it is enabled

I have encountered a problem where I enabled a GridCommandCellElement in the ViewCellFormatting event handler. The cell/button is enabled but it appears disabled (grayed out). The cell/button only appears enabled (not grayed out) after the focus is shifted to the row that contains the cell/button.

I have attached a sample project that I used to reproduce the issue. To reproduce this issue:

1. Delete the fourth row which has a Year of '4'. This will enable the insert ('+') button for the third row.
2. You can click on the insert ('+') button for the third row even though it appears disabled and a new row will be inserted.
3. If you click in the row header for the third row, the insert ('+') button, will now appear enabled.

The issue is why does the cell/button appear to be disabled still after it has been enabled in the code.

Here is the cs file:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Telerik.WinControls.Primitives;

using Telerik.WinControls.UI;

namespace GridCellEnabled

private GridViewTextBoxColumn _valueColumn = null;

private GridViewCommandColumn _insertRowColumn = null;

private GridViewCommandColumn _deleteRowColumn = null;

public Form1()

{

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

private void SetupGrid()

{

// Add Columns

{

// Year Column

{

_yearColumn = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();

_yearColumn.Name = "Year";

_yearColumn.HeaderText = "Year";

_grid.Columns.Add(_yearColumn);

}

// Value Column

{

_valueColumn = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();

_valueColumn.Name = "Value";

_valueColumn.HeaderText = "Value";

_grid.Columns.Add(_valueColumn);

}

// Insert Row Column

{

_insertRowColumn = new GridViewCommandColumn();

_insertRowColumn.Name = "InsertRow";

_insertRowColumn.HeaderText = string.Empty;

_insertRowColumn.UseDefaultText = true;

_insertRowColumn.DefaultText = "+";

_insertRowColumn.MinWidth = 20;

_insertRowColumn.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

_grid.Columns.Add(_insertRowColumn);

}

// Delete Row Column

rowInfo.Cells[_yearColumn.Name].Value = startYear;

rowInfo.Cells[_valueColumn.Name].Value = startYear * 10;

_grid.Rows.Insert(aRow + 1, rowInfo);

}

private void DeleteRow(int aRow)

{

_grid.Rows.RemoveAt(aRow);

}

private void _grid_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CellElement is GridCommandCellElement && e.RowIndex >= 0)

{

if (e.Column == _insertRowColumn)

{

if (e.RowIndex + 1 < _grid.RowCount)

{

int startYear = Convert.ToInt32(_grid.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[_yearColumn.Name].Value);

int nextYear = Convert.ToInt32(_grid.Rows[e.RowIndex + 1].Cells[_yearColumn.Name].Value);

capture DoubleClick or Click event

VB.NET
.NET 3.5

RadControls for WinForms Q1 2009 SP1
MS Visual Studio 2008

I have been able to do just about everything else I need to do in the Treeview control, except capturing click events in my form. The tree is generated from SQL tables and otherwise appears fine. Ultimately I am hoping to wire the tree nodes to files in the filesystem.
Following is the code to capture the DoubleClick event (copied from documentation):

Private

Sub RadTreeView1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Dim args As MouseEventArgs = TryCast(e, MouseEventArgs)

Dim clickedNode As RadTreeNode = RadTreeView1.GetNodeAt(args.X, args.Y)

If clickedNode <> Nothing Then

MessageBox.Show("Node Text: " + clickedNode.Text + " Node Value: " + clickedNode.Tag)

End If

End Sub

The only other block of code in my form is my form load which loads the tree with data from the database.

I have 2 questions/problems:
1. Visual Studio is complaining about the IF statement: "Operator '<>' is not defined for types 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeNode' and 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeNode'. What does this mean?
2. It appears the DoubleClick event isn't being captured since nothing happens when I double click a node. Is the IF statement error related to this? What am I missing? For my testing I simply commented out the 'If...' and 'End If' lines.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
Matt

GridViewCommandColumn Edit Button Outside Of CommandCellClick

Hello

I clearly understand how to use the event associated with a CommandColumn click event (GridView_CommandCellClick). What I would like to do is gain access to the button's properties (GridViewCommandColumn Button) from another method. For example, if i have this method: "private void ChangeButtonText(GridViewRowInfo rowIndex, String buttonText)". This method is not associated with the click event of a CommandButton but this method needs to access CommandButton's properties for the given rowIndex and change the CommandButton.Text property equal to buttonText.

I am using VS 2010, C# and Q2 update.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Column Groups view and invisible columns

Hi,

There seems to be a small layout bug when I have invisible columns in my grid with a Column Groups view. Looks like the invisible columns are still taking up a few pixels, causing borders to not line up correctly between neighboring groups. If you have enough invisible columns, you can see double borders where one group ends and another group starts. Please view the attached screen grab to see what I'm talking about.

Delayed load time of child nodes

Hey all,

I have a very simple radtreeview structure. I basically have 3 root nodes and each node has 3 children. Every time I expand the tree node, there's a delay loading the child nodes. The delay isn't huge but it's a very noticeable delay compared to the original TreeView control. I suspect this has to do with the way the node appears (the turn on looking way). Is there a way to change that behavior so it's identical to the Windows TreeView control ?

Thanks
