Hello,
I have used the desert theme as my form theme and aqua for my gridview. There are two problems which i have faced during working with this themes. i will be appreciate if you help me with these issues.
1. After finalizing the gridview, the gridlines can not be viewed and the rows can only be distinguished by different colours. how can i apply these gridlines?
2. In the gridview which is seen in run-time, the numbers are placed in the left side of the column and the strings are placed on the right side of the column. is there a way to arrange both of them in the same direction, let's say both in right or left side?

thanks in advance

Custom Attributes in WinForm Treeview

Hi anyone know if there's an equivalent treeview node custom attributes for winform just like asp.net? Example:
In ASP.NET code behind:
- node.Attributes.Add("NODE_ID", dbRow["NODE_ID"].ToString());

If not, is there similar way of adding custom attributes to the treeview node in winform?

Thanks,

Maintain selection after setting datasource

Hi,

I am using the RadTreeView (RTV) control to display a list of IP addresses. The datasource of the RTV is set on form load, with the data source set to a BindingList of a custom class. This all works fine.

The problem happens when I update the BindingList using a standard Timer control, with the selected item in of the RTV de-selecting, thus requiring it to be selected again. I have attempted to store and set the selection, however this still causes momentary blinking of the selecting. I've also tried to SuspendLayout, the ResumeLayout without success.

The above issue also occurs with the hover style, which for 'ControlDefault' theme is a lighter orange colour, with the background colour switching between this and white on refresh of the BindingList.

Please help!

Stop selected row change on new row added

Is there a way (ideally a property) to stop the grid from automatically selecting the newest row when one is added to the datasource?

See the example below. When an item is added to the bindinglist, I want to prevent the row selection from occuring. I know I can set a variable before adding the item, and then cancel the row change on the "changing" event. But ideally, I could just turn off the functionality.

It also needs to NOT automatically scroll to it.

Thoughts?

Please note: This behavior does NOT occur on the MS datagrid.

Imports System.ComponentModel

Public Class Form1

Private myList As BindingList(Of MyObject)

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

myList = New BindingList(Of MyObject)()

myList.Add(New MyObject(1, "Outdoor"))

myList.Add(New MyObject(2, "Hardware"))

myList.Add(New MyObject(3, "Tools"))

myList.Add(New MyObject(4, "Books"))

myList.Add(New MyObject(5, "Appliances"))

AddHandler myList.ListChanged, AddressOf myList_ListChanged

RadGridView1.DataSource = myList

End Sub

Sub myList_ListChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ListChangedEventArgs)

End Sub

Private Sub RadButton1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click

myList.Add(New MyObject(6, "Plants"))

' DO NOT CHANGE SELECTION!

End Sub

Public Class MyObject

Public Sub New(ByVal myInt As Integer, ByVal myString As String)

_myInt = myInt

_myString = myString

End Sub

Private _myInt As Integer

Public Property MyInt() As Integer

Get

Return _myInt

End Get

Set(ByVal value As Integer)

_myInt = value

End Set

End Property

Private _myString As String

Public Property MyString() As String

Get

Return _myString

End Get

Set(ByVal value As String)

_myString = value

End Set

End Property

End Class

Checkbox / RadioButton check not immediate

I have noticed that checking a checkbox does not immediately update the datasource. It isn't until I click on another control that the databinding occurs.

This seems inconsistent with how the standard winforms controls behave.

What is the most normal way of duplicating the standard behavior?

Buttons, RadioButton, CheckBox, etc

RadTextBoxEditor Doubleclick not firing

Hello All,

I have added a handler to try and capture the double click of an editing cell on a grid - it never reaches the stop statement, the keydown item fires fine. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Private Sub radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellEditorInitialized

Dim tbEditor As RadTextBoxEditor = TryCast(Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor, RadTextBoxEditor)

If Not tbEditor Is Nothing Then

If (Not tbSubscribed) Then

tbSubscribed = True

Dim tbElement As RadTextBoxEditorElement = CType(tbEditor.EditorElement, RadTextBoxEditorElement)

tbElement.TextBoxItem.Tag = Me.RadGridView1.Name

AddHandler tbElement.TextBoxItem.KeyDown, AddressOf tbElement_KeyDown

AddHandler tbElement.DoubleClick, AddressOf tbElement_DoubleClick

End If

End Sub

Private Sub tbElement_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Stop

End Sub

Private Sub tbElement_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs)

If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then

Stop

End If

End Sub

List of 'missing' events

Hi,

I noticed that the OnKeyPress, OnKeyUp, and OnKeyDown don't 'work' the same as the microsoft text box, it's been documented here in this forum, and there were a few other events that don't work as expected.

Is there a full list of events in this and other controls that I should be wary about when converting all our .net controls to telerik ones?

I'm using version 2011.2.11.831.

Thanks,
Clive
