Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

I'm new to Telerik controls so I'm hopeful there maybe a solution to my problem but searching the documentation and forums I have yet to see it.

Problem
A typical usability problem with menus I frequently see is a menu or sub-menu (grouping of menu items beneath another menu) that instantly disappears if the user mouses over the wrong pixel while trying to mouse over to the menu item. This can be frustrating causing the user to have to retrace their steps to once again reveal the menu and this time carefully tip-toe the mouse back through the narrow parameters allowed them so as not to trip the code just waiting to remove their destination.

Solution
This is a fairly simple problem technically which requires the library author to allow from some time delay before hiding the menu. The logic would go something like (pseudo code):

OnMouseOverNonMenu
Start Timer

OnMouseOverMenu
Stop Timer

OnTimerElapsed
Hide menu

Summary
So far, I have not seen this solution being build into the Telerik menu though it seems like a perfect place for this solution. Did I miss it? Is there a way to do this without me rolling my own menu control?

thanks,
Eric

[Solved] ExplorerBar Sorting

Hi,

I'm just switching the last Controls from PanelBar to PageView. In some case I'm using the ExplorerBar-View. But why are newest Elements on Top? I'm adding the Pages programmatically and it adds the Pages always on top. How can I avoid this?

And: how can I change the position of programmatically added Controls? All new controls appears in the upper left corner.

Thank you!
Andy

Row color animation

I'm trying to figure out how to have a row change color and then fade back to its original color after some predetermined amount of time (like 1 second). I found this example online but can't make it fit for my situation.

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/winforms/buttons/create-button-with-animated-border.aspx

Any input in the matter would be appreciated.

Why I'm trying to do this (in case you're interested):
I have a piece of hardware that is scanning items that are represented on the screen in the grid. As the scanner picks up an item, I'd like it to "flash" to show the user that the scanner sees it.

Thanks,
Jason

lstAreasDisponibles

(listControl) properties :

autoscroll = true
fitItemSize = false
AutoSizeItems = true

This function fills the listControl.

private void cargarDatosListAreaDisponible()

{

string query = "SELECT Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH.Indice, Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH.Nombre " +

"FROM Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH INNER JOIN " +

" Vehiculos ON Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH.Indice = Vehiculos.IdArea " +

"GROUP BY Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH.Indice, Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH.Nombre, " +

" Vehiculos.Status " +

"HAVING Vehiculos.Status = '1' "+

"ORDER BY Vista_Cat_Adscripcion_SIRH.Nombre";

Query obj = new Query();

DataTable dt = obj.obtenerSelect(query);

string[,] datos = new string[dt.Rows.Count, dt.Columns.Count];

for (int fila = 0; fila < dt.Rows.Count; fila++)

{

RadListDataItem rldi = new RadListDataItem();

rldi.TextWrap = true;

rldi.Text = dt.Rows[fila][1].ToString();

lstAreasDisponibles.Items.Add(rldi);

}
