Hello,

I would like to extend my MultiColumnComboBox control by adding AutoComplete.

After browsing the site, I see a feature that seems to emulate autoComplete:

Filtering and Sorting

The Telerik WinForms MultiColumnComboBox control supports as-you-type filtering which means that end users are able to initiate fast search among items.

 

How is this Filtering and Sorting achieved?  My goal is:

- Every time the user enters a new keyPress the list should filter on ANY column's data
- The closest or First matching row should be highlighted
- If they enter a partial result (Above they entered "ma") and hit the ENTER key, it should stick the First or Matching row's Value into the field

So, does the secret to this functionality lie in a "FilterDescriptors"?

I found this code sample, but it does not appear to do what I want based on the above requirements:

Any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated!

Hi There,

I am having difficulty understanding what is going wrong with my code.

I have a gridview wtih a datasource set to an entity framework object. In the gridview is a datetimepicker column that I want to show the date in the format "dd/MM/yyyy" the format of the information stored in my entity framework is in the format "dd/MM/yyyy" Upon loading the datagridview I populate the gridview with the information from my EF object. This works a deam and is as expected.

However the problems begin when I add a new row to the datagrid, no matter what I try when adding a new row the datetimepicker always sets the column to have a value including the time. I have set the format string correctly to "{0: dd/MM/yyyy}". If I stop the datasource binding to my EF object the date is added correctly to the new row. It seems that the problem only occurs If I use the datasource.

It would appear that this is a problem with the .fieldname I am using, if I remove this I have no problems.

Anyone offer any advice on what is going wrong here?

Many Thanks

Hi,

I've just been playing about with this BubbleBar component and I'm having trouble getting it to behave as described.

I've been working from the example in this thread:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/forms-and-dialogs/bubble-bar.aspx#1436417

I can download the code Nikolay provided as an attachement and run it and it works.

The problem comes when editing it.

Nikolay says:

"After you add these files to your customer project, build it in order to get the BubbleBar component in the VS Toolbox. Then you should simply drag and drop BubbleBar to your form and fill it with RadButtonElement through the Edit Items menu item of the BubbleBar's ActionMenu."

However, even though I can build and run the sample code - I can't seem to get the component to appear in the toolbox. I have tried manaually adding it and it says it's already added, but it does not appear. I can edit the one that is on the form already, I just can't get it into the toolbox - so I can't easily add the control to another form.

I can wrap the BubbleBar in a standard WinForms control by copying the existing one on the demo form into a new control - the WinForms control appears in my tool box. This means that the VS toolbox is picking up the controls from my project - it's just not picking up the BubbleBar.

I want to be able to create custom controls based on the RadControls and I'm slightly worried something is set up wrong because I can't even get this demo control to work as expected. I don't want to spend time building up controls only to find that I have to hard code them because the designer doesn't support them properly.

I can load up the ExamplesCSVS2010.sln from the Q2 2011 Examples for WinForms - which includes the BubbleBar in the Integration examples - here I can get the BubbleBar running fine, but I can't get it into the Toolbox.

It's probably just something daft I'm doing wrong, I'm just getting the hang of these Rad bits...

Any pointers would be appreciated...

:)

Ivan,
   I DELETED the zip example file so sorry OOPS....REGISTERED FILES...
                                                                            Will try to bind in code for multi user... :)

Hello,

In our application we use RadSpinEditor with binding.

Now we notice a problem with the binding of the control:

When we update the control by the keyboard, then leave the control by tab, returning to the spinEditor and updating another value, the new value does'nt save – when leaving the control the last value returns.

Looking forward to your reply.        

Here is a sample code:

 

 

I have a RadGrid performing some timesheet functionality with two columns StartTime and StopTime which are both GridViewDateTimeColumn. A person gets a StartTime when they clock in and a StopTime when they clock out. When the RadDateTimeEditor is initialized, I'm setting it to ShowUpDown and a custom time format since it displays time only. I'm also setting restrictions that the minValue of the StopTime equals the current value of the StartTime (since you can't clock out before you clock in). You can see the attached code for specifics. The problem is situations can occur where there is no valid StopTime. For example, if someone has a StartTime of 11:15 AM and then tries to set the StopTime, the editor will set the NullValue and MinValue of the StopTime to 11:15 AM. The step arrows for up and down show up, but clicking them does nothing since the value for both is invalid. Clicking down makes the time 10:15 AM, which is invalid and clicking up makes the time 12:15 AM which is also invalid. The numbers themselves never actually show up, but this what I assume is happening. I'm not sure what to do to fix this situation. Basically, the stepper will never work if its current value is null and the MinValue is set to anything in between 11:00 - 11:59AM. Maybe I'm missing something. Any help is appreciated.

Hi again
As I said before, I`m trying 2011 q1 (trial) on winform for testing puporses,

Here is an issue,
for normal LTR TreeView the Right Arrow Key should expand and Left Arrow Key should collapse the tree, and it`s OK,
but for RTL, when tree is at right side, the Left Arrow Key should Expand the tree and Right Arrow Key should collpase.
with swaping this two Key the problem whill gone,
as you said the KeyPress and KeyDown event does not fire up in this version, so what is the solution?

Hi,

I have a RadListView in DetailsView, I have set EnableSorting=True but I cannot get the columns to sort when I click the column headers.

In the .net version of ListView there is a colum_click event but that is not there for the RadListView.

I see in the Telerik examples that you create a command bar. This seems a bit over the top for what I want to do. I have 3 columns and I would like to be able to sort ascending or descending depending on the number and order the columns are clicked in.

Cheers
Baz

I just purchased a license for Win Forms package.

So far I've been using the trial version of Q2 2010 and last week I decided to upgrade it to licensed version of Q2 2011.
After uninstsalling the existing version, installing the Q2 2011 and changing the references from my project to the new DLLs I run into following issues:

1.    Error 18 Property or indexer 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeNode.DataBoundItem' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only 
2.    Error 25 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeNodeCollection' does not contain a definition for 'Find' and no extension method 'Find' accepting a first argument of type 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeNodeCollection' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 

I found this on your TreeView class in regards to Find method.
This property will be removed in the next version. You can define your own search behavior by setting the Find method.



Please let me know how I can resolve those issues.

Hello,

Prior to Q2 2011 SP1 (version 2011.2.11.831), we had no problems with the subclass of the RadDateTimePicker we created, but since then, we are having issues with SetToNullValue() and DataBinding.  We were using RadControls for WinForms Q3 2010 prior to updating.  

When we call this.radDateTimePicker1.SetToNullValue(), it appears to "null" out the control, but when you move to the next control, the datetime control goes from not having a value displayed to displaying the value before SetToNullValue() was called.  In the bound source, the column contains the NullDate value while the control's Value property has the value from before SetToNullValue() was called

I have also come across inconsistency of values when the control is bound to a dataset from SQL Server.  From tracing thru the code, we are able to determine that the correct date is in the Value property, but when we looked at the DataTable its bound to, the value there is different.

The code has not changed and I have been able to replicate the SetToNullValue behavior in a new project using just the RAD controls. 

Any help is appreciated,
Chet
