Hi,

How can I reduce the header row height when in the Details View mode? It is far bigger than it needs to be and I can't figure out which properties to change. Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Steven

Branching

i would like to setup a wizard to have a page right after the Welcome page that determines which of the next sets of pages would be "executed", then, returning to the "main" wizard execution.

basically, it's ... Welcome->option page-> ... branched pages ... ->common page1->common page2->finish.

for one of the branches, there are 4 pages, while in the other branch, there are 2 pages. after the completion of either of the branches, clicking on the Next button would go to "common page1" and so on. clicking on the Back button (from "common page1") would go back to the last page of the branch.

thanks,

pete.

DisplayRowCount API not working

Hello,

When sort enable is set to true, the DisplayRowCount function returns zero even though I do see rows in the grid. Interestingly, when groupby is applied, it work and when from groupby mode go back to the normal mode, it stops working again. I am using Q2 2010. Is this a known issue? Has it been addressed in the later releases?

As a workaround, I have resorted to using the accumulated height of rows in the grid. But this method does not work reliability as Height property for rows return zero.

Regards,
Ed

RadDock Problem

Hello,

I need mdi layout where a left pane has menu's and the right major pane will act has a placeholder of winforms.
I tried RadSplitcontainer which did not prove a good option for me as the left menu pane should be resizibable,autohide,and all other such type of features for which i found RadDock as most appropriate. On setting its AutoDetectMdiChildren property to true, It shows me the most appropriate and ideal behaviour. I can add ToolWindows , dock them , hide them and so much of tasty stuff.

But there is only a single problem which hinders me to implement it and that is The RadDock opens the form in a Tabbed Document view, which i do not want. I only want to to display the form in its actual dimensions as the mdi container would otherwise show it. I was unable to find such kind of property for the RadDock.

Is there any solution to the abovesaid problem? Waiting for the solution fingers crossed.

Change Format based on a timer

How would I change the formating of a row or cell based on a value that changes during the program without having to reload the entire data? ie a timer reached a value x and now I want all rows of a grid where x is smaller to change backcolor to red.
Thanks,
Karl

Monthly X Axis for Daily Series Data

Hi, I am using RadControls for WinForms SP2 (Q2 2010) and trying to render a stock price line chart, of which each price is a daily price. The prices are rendering ok however I have an issue with the x axis which I believe is affecting how the data is ultimately rendered.

Each item in the series is a daily price for the given stock, along with the date on which the price relates to. On the X axis we want to just show monthly points, so for our example where we are rendering a chart of daily stock prices, each axis label on the x axis would show the month (Jan, Feb, Mar etc). The code we are using (VB.net) to set the x axis label is:

chrtVBA.PlotArea.XAxis.AddRange(xMin, xMax, 30)

…where xMin and xMax are the minimum and maximum dates in the series (converted using .ToOADate()).

As you can see, we are specifying 30 as the step value, however I beleive that because there aren’t 30 days in every month the X axis labels becomes out of sync with the plotted points. Is there a specific method to call or property we can set so that the x axis correctly shows the correct month?

I have attached an example of what the chart currently looks like, we have checked the stock prices and they do appear to be out of sync with the x axis, for example a price which appears to be for late August on the rendered chart should be showing for early September. For information; the xMin and xMax values used to render this chart were 09/12/2010 and 09/12/2011 respectively (not We did call .ToOADate() to convert.

Thanks for you help.

Formatstring - Time Problem

HI,
I'm populating a RadGrid with an Accessdb which has a datetime column. In the RadGrid I have a column which is to show only the hour, minute and second. I use the Formatstring {0:h.mm.ss}.

Problem: when the hour is a zero 00.01.01 in the db in the RadGrid it is displayed as 12.01.01.
It displays correct when the time is 01.01.01.

How can I display just 00.01.01?

Thanks,
Karl

Trying to hide PageViewPages

I am currently using a radpageview in outlook mode. I am trying to collapse the pageviewpages to the strip on the bottom as icons so they can still be accessed when a button is clicked. Also I need the expand option to still work so they can be added back on through add more buttons or dragging the collapse bar. I am trying to do this programatically.

Thanks

Pinned summary rows

Hi

I have read in the documentation here: http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/gridview-rows-summary-rows.html that summary rows can be pinned, but I cannot get this to work. Whenever I scroll down, the row disappears from view. Is there any property I should be setting to make this happen?

regards
Steve
