Enter key act like Tab key

Is there a way to make the Enter key act like the Tab key for the RadDropDownList? I have tried the following methods and none actually advance to the focus:

private void dropDownList_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter)

{

this.ProcessTabKeys(true);

}

private void dropDownList_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)

{

this.ProcessTabKeys(true);

}

I also tried alternatives of the above:

private void dropDownList_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)

{

nextDropDownList.Focus();

e.Handled = true;

}

private void dropDownList_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Enter)

{

nextDropDownList.Focus();

e.Handled = true;

}

The only way to advance the focus is to use the Tab key. In case it makes any difference, I have AutoComplete set to SuggestAppend.

Is there another way to make the Enter key act like the Tab key?

CheckBoxColumn Colored CheckMark Primitive?

Hi Telerik

I'm trying to color the checkmarks in two GridViewCheckBoxColumns in a grid in our app. I have tried the following code but have only succeeded in producing visual gibberish. The entire grid is destroyed - my fault :-)

Could you please provide some guidance.
Many thanks in advance
regards
Ian Carson

void rgvOperationsGrid_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)

{

if (e.ColumnIndex == 2)

{

((RadCheckBoxElement)e.CellElement.Children[0]).CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen;

}

else if (e.ColumnIndex == 3)

{

((RadCheckBoxElement)e.CellElement.Children[0]).CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.ForeColor = Color.DarkRed;

}

RadCalendar control date selection

Hey everyone,

I just started working with the Telerik RadCalendar control, and it looks promising to be able to accomplish what I want. I do, however, seem to be running into an issue.

Using the arrow keys and space bar to select/deselect dates works great, but when I use the mouse to do this, it is awkward. I found a post relating to the issue, (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/calendar-and-datetimepicker/urgent-radcalendar-not-deselect-dates-correctly.aspx) The Telerik representative mentioned that the reason this felt awkward was because of the "Focus Date" feature.

I understand how this works, but would it be possible to somehow change the color of the "Focus Date" part of the calendar? I think this would help my end users tell the difference between the "Focus Date" and a recently deselected/selected cell.

Thanks

Timezone Issue in Month + Timeline view

Hi
I'm using Q2 2011 SP1 (v2011.2.11.0831) and have discovered differences in Appointment.Start + End DateTime values between Dayview Viewtypes and Monthview,Timelineview.

//all views are initialized with

if (utcPlusOneTimeZone == null)

{

//utcPlustOneTimeZoneInfo = new SystemTime.TimeZoneInformation();

//utcPlustOneTimeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.Local;

//utcPlustOneTimeZoneInfo.bias = -60;

//utcPlustOneTimeZoneInfo.daylightBias = -60;

//utcPlusOneTimeZone = new SchedulerTimeZone(utcPlustOneTimeZoneInfo, "CH");

utcPlusOneTimeZone = new SchedulerTimeZone(TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone);

}

switch (vt)

{

case SchedulerViewType.Day:

if (_dayView == null)

{

_dayView = radScheduler1.GetDayView();

_dayView.DefaultTimeZone = utcPlusOneTimeZone;

}

break;

case SchedulerViewType.Month:

if (_monthView == null)

{

_monthView = radScheduler1.GetMonthView();

_monthView.DefaultTimeZone = utcPlusOneTimeZone;

}

break;

case SchedulerViewType.Timeline:

if (_timelineView == null)

{

_timelineView = radScheduler1.GetTimelineView();

_timelineView.DefaultTimeZone = utcPlusOneTimeZone;

}

break;

//save function calls webservice

DateTime start = app.Start.ToLocalTime();

DateTime end = app.End.ToLocalTime();

if (systemService.ChangePlanningElement(app.ElementGID.ToString(), start,end)) return true;

- Month + Timelineview : app.Start.Kind = Unspecified and ToLocalTime() adds 2hours (utc+1 + Summertime)
- other dayview type : app.Start.Kind = Local and and ToLocalTime() = 0

//Workaround before calling webservice

TimeSpan tsOffset = app.Start.ToLocalTime() - app.Start;

DateTime start = app.Start.ToLocalTime() - tsOffset; //subtracts 0 or Timezonedifference

Why ist MonthCellElement.Date of Type Unspecified with TimezoneOffset=2h and SchedulerCellElement.Date of type Local with TimezoneOffset=0h

Thanks for clearing, Daniel

RadGridviewExcelExporter errors on Citrix

Greetings all

I have a simple winform app that loads a RadGridView and optionally exports it to Excel. The app works fine in the Development environment and as a standalone exe. However, when the code is moved to Citrix, the invocation of the RadGridViewExporter.Export method triggers an Excel error: "an error occured and this feature is no longer functioning properly". Once this error dialog is clicked, the export happens successfully.

I understand from various searches that this is likely a config issue with the server and not a Telerik internal problem. My hope is that someone has hit this before and might suggest a work-around from the application side.

We are using VS2010, .Net 4.0, and Q2/2011 Radcontrols for Winforms.

Relevant code follows. Many thanks for any advice.

private void Export(String filepath)

{

//this.radButtonExport.Enabled = false;

exporter =

new RadGridViewExcelExporter();

BackgroundWorker worker = new BackgroundWorker();

worker.DoWork +=

new DoWorkEventHandler(DoWork);

worker.RunWorkerCompleted +=

new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(bg_RunWorkerCompleted);

worker.RunWorkerAsync(filepath);

exporter.Progress +=

new ProgressHandler(exportProgress);

radProgressBar1.Visible = true;

radProgressBar1.Text =

string.Format("Exporting to {0}", filepath);

radProgressBar1.Width = radGridView1.Width * 2/3;

}

private void DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)

{

exporter.Export(radGridView1, (

String)e.Argument, "script results");

}

PageView Page and Anchoring

Hello,

I have some strange effects when using Anchor Bottom / Anchor Right with Controls placed on a PageView Page. The Controls do not keep their positions correcty. Also, the Designer (VS2010) seems to garble up sometimes.
Anyone else having issues with this?

Regards
Erwin
