QuickAccessToolBar items text

Hi,
I have a problem in my application:
I use a RadRibbonBar and the quickaccesstoolbar; I insert the items in the quickaccesstoolbar menu and the text of the item.
The item inserted are displayed with text and image and are RadButtonElement
One of these items (called "News Update") the text field is updated when the application starts up with a call to a webservice (if available).
The text of the button when visible is correctly updated, but also the text in the dropdownmenu of the overflowbutton is updated, while my goal is that the text of the item in the dropdownmenu is always "News Update", while the text of the text of the corresponding RadButtonElement, when visible, is correctly updated.
I tried to populate the text of the items of the dropdownmenu of the overflowbutton with the name (and not the text) of the RadButtonElement but I was not successfull.
Is there a way to obtain the result?

Text Baseline Align in Designer

Would be nice if RadLabel and RadTextBox / RadDropDownList etc. would support snap-on alignment of the text baseline in the visual studio 2010 designer in the same manner the standard Label and TextBox controls do.

Setting Tab Color for selected and unseleced Document Windows

Hi Telerik

I am trying to set the color of the tab on unselected document windows to "MistyRose" and the tab on the currently selected document window to "Snow" using the following code

rDockModelPackage.ActiveWindowChanging+=new DockWindowCancelEventHandler(rDockModelPackage_ActiveWindowChanging);

rDockModelPackage.ActiveWindowChanged += new DockWindowEventHandler(rDockModelPackage_ActiveWindowChanged);

}

private void rDockModelPackage_ActiveWindowChanged(object sender, DockWindowEventArgs e)

{

SizeAndColorSelectedDocWindowTab(e.DockWindow.TabStrip.TabStripElement, Color.Snow, Color.MistyRose);

}

private void rDockModelPackage_ActiveWindowChanging(object sender, DockWindowCancelEventArgs e)

{

SizeAndColorUnSelectedDocWindowTab(e.OldWindow.TabStrip.TabStripElement, Color.Snow, Color.MistyRose);

And

private void SizeAndColorSelectedDocWindowTab(RadTabStripElement win, Color lightColour, Color darkColour)

{

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor = lightColour;

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor2 = lightColour;

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor3 = lightColour;

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor4 = lightColour;

}

private void SizeAndColorUnSelectedDocWindowTab(RadTabStripElement win, Color lightColour, Color darkColour)

{

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor = darkColour;

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor2 = darkColour;

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor3 = darkColour;

((FillPrimitive)win.Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0].Children[0]).BackColor4 = darkColour;

}

The result is hit and miss with the color changes working sometimes and at others being a mixture of the 2. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Regards
Ian

How to restrict user from entering text which is not in a display member of combobox items (2)

Hello, I'm using the first solution you propose on http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/combobox/how-to-restrict-user-from-entering-text-which-is-not-in-a-display-member-of-combobox-items.aspx and works fine.

I did a little change and the event handler looks like this:

void cbNameElement_TextChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.TextChangingEventArgs e)

{

if (!e.NewValue.Equals(string.Empty))

{

if (cbName.FindItem(e.NewValue) == null)

{

this.cbName.Text = string.Empty;

}

What I accomplished with this is that if the user writes something that is not in the list the text of the combobox is cleared.

Now I have a problem. You clear the text, then you hit ENTER, and you write something that is not on the list, that text isn't cleared.

Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

I keep getting this error, sometimes everytime I run the gridview, sometimes it won't throw the error and it will show the results. Here is my code.

    
            Dim DS_Assets As DataSet  
        
            sqlQuery = "SELECT location.location_id, location.site_id, location.description, location.code, location.site_id, " & _  
        
            "asset.asset_tag, asset.serial_number, asset.item_id, asset.date_updated, " & _  
        
            "item.description " & _  
        
            "FROM location INNER JOIN asset ON location.location_id = asset.location_id INNER JOIN item ON asset.item_id = item.item_id " & _  
        
            "WHERE location.site_id=" & Site  
        
            DS_Assets = common.DBConnect(sqlQuery, "assets", activeDBServer, activeDBName, activeDBUser, activeDBPass) ' This is the function that returns the Dataset  
        
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Clear()  
        
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.GroupByExpressions.Clear()  
        
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.SortExpressions.Clear()  
        
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = False 
        
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = False 
        
            Me.RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.EnableGrouping = False 
        
            Me.RadGridView1.DataSource = DS_Assets.Tables(0)

The error is thrown on the last line when I try to bind the data to the gridview. There are about 3300 rows in the data being returned. If I look at the inner exception it is returning "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

But the data is there, the Dataset is correct. I have run this code on a regular GridView control and it works fine. Just won't work on the RadGridView. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Problem in hiding vertical scroll bar

Hello Experts!

I am currently facing a problem while using the Rad Grid View. I want to hide the vertical scroll bar. When i try to set the AutoSize property to true and AutoSizeColumnMode property to fill, then all the columns in the rad grid view disappears. On the other hand if i set AutoSize property to true and AutoSizeColumnMode property to none, the scroll bar disappears but the grid doesn't stretch enough horizontally to fill the parent container. Now can you guys tell me how can i hide vertical scroll bar as well as stretch the column enough to fill the parent?

Thanks...

Page View Scaling Issues

I'm going through my C# Windows Form application and making it so upon launching it is in a maximized state. The RadStatusStrip control scales properly, but upon hitting the maximize button the RadPageView control does not scale like all of the other controls, it simply stays the same size I originally configured the form to be.

I am using the Q1 2011 SP1 Release btw.

I attached a screenshot of what I am getting when maximizing the form.
