I have a Raddock that contains a toolwindow that's set to autohide and it's docked on the left. The tool window contains some RadMulticolumnComboBoxes. The window is real wide, but not very tall, kind of like a thin tool strip that slides out with some additional options for the user. The problem is when the window opens, and then you open one of the comboboxes, the bounds of the dropdown box extends past the bounds of the window. So when you select an item, it automatically auto-hides the window since you're clicking 'outside' of it. Is there any way to catch this before it happens and stop the window from auto-hiding (AutoHideWindowClosing?) I don't want the window to automatically hide upon selecting an item from the combobox. Any input is appreciated!

Thanks,
Jason

QuickNavigator Problem on RTL

Hi again
Here is another issue with RTL
With a Dock and some forms that added as documents to that, in RTL it`s expected to see the right-top location of each forms in QuickNavigator, but instead it`s showing the lef-top location of each document in preview as snapshot.
I couldn`t find any property to set it to show custom region of a document.

what`s the solution
thanks

radgridview virtual mode

I have been evaluating the Winforms SDK and I am stuck implementing a grid with a large changing dataset that I want to display in real-time. If I implement my own IBinding list and set it to the grid's data source is that advisable or should I use virtual mode. I don't know how to implement virtual mode in terms of database changes being realized by the grid (ie. add, delete, modify, insert records). I can't seem to find any information on this relating to notifying the grid that a row has been inserted, deleted etc. I also want the screen painting to be minimized and the currently selected row not to change while data is being updated (unless of course a delete cause the data view to scroll up)
Thanks

datetimepicker

Hi everyone

I am trying to get today with a simple method from datetimepicker. I am open to suggestions :) My current workaround is to add an event handler for double clicking the datetimepickers and setting their values to today inside the handler. But inorder to deploy this method i had to write a double click event handler to all the datetimepickers in the program. I saw in another datetimepicker control (from another component provider) a small today button located on the middle bottom of the drop down calendar which does the job of taking you quickly to today...

Any suggestions ....

Best regards

GridView: Binding Multiple Selection on a CommandParameter

I need to have a context menu on a gridview whereby the user can select multiple rows on the gridview and right-clicked on it then the user can change the Status of the row via the iCommand.

<telerik:RadGridView Name="rcGridView" Grid.Row="0" Margin="15" ItemsSource="{Binding Users, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True,

UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ClipToBounds="False"

SelectionMode="Extended" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Summer" RowHeight="20"

RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed" CanUserInsertRows="False" CanUserDeleteRows="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left"

FontSize="11" ClipboardCopyMode="All" ClipboardPasteMode="AllSelectedCells,Default" SelectionUnit="FullRow" CanUserFreezeColumns="False">

<telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu.Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Approve" Command="{Binding UpdateSourceTrigger=Default, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True,

RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type telerik:RadContextMenu}},Path=DataContext.StatChgtoApproveCommand}"

CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=rcGridView, Path=SelectedItems}" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Hold" Command="{Binding UpdateSourceTrigger=Default, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True,

RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type telerik:RadContextMenu}},Path=DataContext.StatChgtoHoldCommand}"

CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=rcGridView, Path=SelectedItems}" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Reject" Command="{Binding UpdateSourceTrigger=Default, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True,

                    RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type telerik:RadContextMenu}},Path=DataContext.StatChgtoRejectCommand}" 
                    CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=rcGridView, Path=SelectedItems}" />  
        </

telerik:RadContextMenu.Items>

</telerik:RadContextMenu>

</telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="ID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding ID}" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"

/>

    <

telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Status" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Status}" />

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns

>

</

telerik:RadGridView>

Unfortunately, when the user click on the item context menu the command will trigger an iCommand and CommanParameter is null. The CommandParameter should be the multiple selected rows on the gridview. Is there a way to make this work?

GridViewComboBoxColumn Tag attribute

(C#)
When using a GridViewComboBoxColumn is it possible to set the Tag attribute on the cell item who's value comes from the grid combo box.

So I can call:
gridView1.CurrentRow.Cells["ColumnName"].Tag

I understand this would probably have something to do with the GridViewComboBoxColumn DataSource and what it is passed.

For Example
I have two GridViewComboBoxColumns in my GridView, call them "suppliers" and "products".
These items get populated from a database where each has a GUID and a Name.
I would like the Name to show in the grid combobox item for each column and the GUID to be assigned to the grid combo box item tag (or some other place).
When the user changes the "supplier" in any row, I would like to fetch the list of products from the database by searching for the supplier GUID.
Currently it seems all I can get back is the string name. I can see the gridView1.CurrentRow.Cells["ColumnName"].Tag however it is null

Any help would be appreciated, and if you need more info or something to be clearer please ask.

Thanks In advance
Tom.
