I've gone through the OpenAccess videos but still don't have a really good understanding of what OA does for me that isn't built into Visual Studio 2010.

Can you point me to a discussion or documentation that explains the big benefit of OA?

Hi, 

Need some special behavior on a textbox column. 
Like doing something in the textchanging event, keypress event and validation event.
And i want to be able to set a fixed length on the  text box. 
I need to do for several grids and several columns.
I know that i can do this by subscribing to events on the activeeditor -> textboxitem. But i want to subclass the GridViewTextboxColumn and do it directly, so i dont need to write the same code over and over again.

Can you please help me?

Regards
Svein Thomas

Ok, so our client wants to type in dates...no mouse at all.

What they would like to do is use tab instead of arrows to move between month/date/year fields. Is this possible?

Thanks,
David

Hi there,

perhaps it is a stupid question, but I don't get it to work and I found nothing in the web.
I have a multicolumncombobox with 3 columns. I want to add a filter, which searches in all 3 columns and displays all results found in one of the 3 columns.
First I found the filterdescriptor class. That worked fine, but it displays only results, which are found in all 3 columns and not in one of them.
Then I tried to get it work with the compositefilterdescriptor. And that does not work for me. Perhaps someone has a hint. Here is my code:

Telerik.WinControls.Data.CompositeFilterDescriptor compositeDescriptor = new Telerik.WinControls.Data.CompositeFilterDescriptor();
compositeDescriptor.LogicalOperator = Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterLogicalOperator.Or;
compositeDescriptor.FilterDescriptors.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterDescriptor("productNo", Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.Contains, cbo_ProductMultiColumn.Text.ToString()));
compositeDescriptor.FilterDescriptors.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterDescriptor("productSearchName", Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.Contains, cbo_ProductMultiColumn.Text.ToString()));
compositeDescriptor.FilterDescriptors.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterDescriptor("productName", Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.Contains, cbo_ProductMultiColumn.Text.ToString()));
compositeDescriptor.IsFilterEditor = true;
this.cbo_ProductMultiColumn.EditorControl.FilterDescriptors.Add(compositeDescriptor);

Sorry, if it is a stupid question. I'm still a beginner. :-)

I've been having issues getting Telerik controls to display in Visual Studio's designer mode. Some simple controls, like Text Box and Label will be selectable in design mode and have all their properties pop up in the properties pane, but for some like RadGridView and RadPanel they aren't clickable in design view. The only graphical representation I get of them through the design mode is their icon + label appearing in the grey column underneath the rest of the form/user control (like when you have other custom user controls VS doesn't render).

I've read up on some solutions, namely installing Telerik.WinControls.UI.Designer into the GAC through Visual Studio's command prompt and/or referencing it in the project using said controls. I've tried both solutions -- neither have been working. What's odd, is that I followed the same steps in installing those Telerik controls when I had XP running as my Operating System. Now that the firm has been upgraded to Windows 7 it doesn't work. Don't quote me on this, but I think it may do with the extra security permissions given to folders like Program Files that didn't exist in XP.

I know the recommended answer here would be to upgrade to a newer version of WinForms, and while our company does have them, the program I'm working on is several years old and several (11) projects big. Should we update, we'd need to update the GACs on all of the servers that are hosting the program -- this way our users do not have to install/upgrade our applications themselves. Simply put, it would be a very messy situation.

While I found some answers on this, unfortuantely I found nothing recent or that worked. Perhaps my Googling/search skills aren't up to par, but it would be great if someone could help me out here. I'm simply out of ideas at this point.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi, 

Is it possible to add an "browse/edit (...)" button within a dropdown cell. 
I want to be able to edit the selected dropdown value in another form.

If you know how, please provide me with an example :)

thanks in advance.

Hello,

how can I translate the Ribbonbar in other languages, similar the default .net windows forms controls which have a "Language" property...

Thanks.

Best regards.

I'm using the ListView with DetailsView layout and would like to have two "normal/text" columns and one a dropdown column.
I have tried your Custom Items example and got it working, but I dont want all columns to be custom, only (the last) one.

Is it possible to have different column types with the ListView or should I go for the Grid instead?

Regards
Kenneth

Hello,

In the example "GridView / Custom Filter Row" when you search initially in the row bar nothing happens. It's requiered to push the "Apply" button at least once to make the row bar works properly.

I'd like to use this sample in my project but I don't find where the problem is.

Thanks

Hi, the winforms toolset lists the following as a feature:

Stunning WPF-like UI with transparency, scaling and rotation

... I downloaded and installed the trial, opened  VB.net 2005, and started dragging and dropping telerik winform controls on the form.  They are very nice.

But I could find no way to make stunning WPF-like transparancy.  How do you accomplish that?  I could not readily find out from the docs or examples either.

Also the sample VB.net project with the trial download will not run and seems to have some big problems.

My scenario is I have a pretty simple form with big map on it taking up the whole form.  I want to put some translucent panels on top of the map, and then some semi or non-translucent buttons, text boxes, and combo boxes, in the panels. 

I am hoping that the stunning WPF-like UI with transparency that radcontrols for winforms offers will help me accomplish this - but I could use some pointers to get started.

Thanks for the help!  Great looking tools by the way.
