Rad calendar multiview. Hide months views greater than RangeMaxDate

Hi all,

I`m using rad calendar with multiview (1 row 4 columns). RangeMinDate is set to 01.01.CurrentYear-1 and RangeMaxDate is set to 31.12.CurrentYear+2.
When I`m navigating to the last allowed month it is also visible 3 month from year 2014.
I would like those not allowed months (greater than RangeMaxDate ) not to be displayed at all, or, if it is possible always display the last month in the range as the last (4th) month in the view, not the first one.
See attached pictures.
Also I wonder is it possible to change in runtime the backcolor and fore color of the selected dates.

Thanks!

Export to PDF

I am using the latest version of the winforms controls (2011.1.11.419). When exporting to PDF, my code is not raising the HTMLCellFormatting event. Here is the pdf export code.

Dim oPdfExporter As ExportToPDF = New ExportToPDF(Me._oSelectedGrid)

oPdfExporter.FileExtension = "pdf"

oPdfExporter.PageTitle = "Dealer Inventory"

oPdfExporter.Scale = 0.5F

oPdfExporter.PdfExportSettings.PageHeight = 210

oPdfExporter.PdfExportSettings.PageWidth = 297

oPdfExporter.ExportVisualSettings = False

oPdfExporter.HiddenColumnOption = HiddenOption.DoNotExport

oPdfExporter.HiddenRowOption = HiddenOption.DoNotExport

oPdfExporter.SummariesExportOption = SummariesOption.DoNotExport

oPdfExporter.FitToPageWidth = True

oPdfExporter.PdfExportSettings.FontType = Telerik.Apoc.Render.Pdf.FontType.Embed

Dim sTempPath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData & "\Dealer_Inventory.pdf"

oPdfExporter.RunExport(sTempPath)

oPdfExporter = Nothing

Here is the HTMLCellFormatting:

Private Sub oPdfExporter_HTMLCellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.Export.HTML.HTMLCellFormattingEventArgs)

If e.GridColumnIndex = 1 AndAlso e.GridRowInfoType.Equals(GetType(GridViewDataRowInfo)) Then

e.HTMLCellElement.Value = "Test value"

e.HTMLCellElement.Styles.Add("background-color", ColorTranslator.ToHtml(Color.Orange))

End If

End Sub

Any ideas why the the oPdfExporter_HTMLCellFormatting event is not raised?

Thanks.

Right-click changes selected node

In another forum post, it was implied that right-clicking on a tree node did not change the selected node (and fire SelectedNodeChanged) but it appears that in my TreeView is does.

Is there any way to disable this behavior? I am using the right-click to launch a context menu but do not want the selected node to change.

I'm not using multiselect.

Hierarchical DataSet Question

I am trying to set up a hierarchical RadGridView in my application. I have a function that returns a DataSet with two tables and a table relation directly from a SQL Server 2008 R2 database. However, I am unable to get the grid to display more than one table when trying to use the AutoGenerateHierarchy property. I see a reference to an AutoGenerateHierarchyFromDataSet property in the Binding to Hierarchical Data Automatically entry for the RadGridView control in the help, but I cannot locate this property in the control.

I need to do all of this in code, rather than graphically, due to several others using the same code base and having to dynamically connect to a database server and database at runtime. In this instance, dynamically can also be taken to mean that the server and database names are filled in from a configuration file at application launch.

Hi,

We are not able to find out a event for mouse over on auto hide docking panel and it get displayed and it get hide. Can you please help here?

What are we actually trying accomplish is as follows:

We added a RadDock on MDI form. RadDock contains two dockable tool windows. Property ‘MainDocumentContainerVisible’ of RadDock is set to false. Initally size of RadDock is set to very small in width, when panel gets docked size of RadDock is reset , with this we were able to show all tool window in appropiate size in case of docking. But on mouse over tool window is showing with its default size. We tried to set size of tool window using AutoHideSize property but it is not working. If we able to get any event for auto hide occurance then we will be able to add logic to show tool panel appropiately. Can you please help here?

speed issue with multiple resources added

we are experiencing speed issues when we have multiple resources added to the scheduler in day view and scrolling through the resources.

the current setup is the scheduler is configured with 10+ resources, and showing only 8 resources at a time, we first experienced the issue when we had the schedule for all the resources fully booked up for one day, on the day view. When the user scrolls left to right on the resources it could take up to 4 seconds for the calendar to repaint the change.

We have now removed all appointments, and the scrolling still takes up to 4 seconds to scroll.

We are using the default office theme, and only the minimal amount of information for the resource. Is there any performance parameter that could help with this issue.

Thank you

1. Add all folders and .css file for Scheduler in
~/App_Themes/Theme1 folder
2. On Radscheduler control, set skin="M4" and EnableEmbeddedSkins="false"

Am I missing anything?

Style Certain Dates

I'm using Q1 2011.

I simply want to change the style of a specific set of dates that are determined at runtime.

I'm overriding the ElementRender event and setting properties like e.Element.Font, e.Element.ForeColor, etc. This works great. For instance:

private void calSchedule_ElementRender(object sender, RenderElementEventArgs e)

{

if(myDates.Contains(e.Day.Date))

{

e.Element.Font = new Font(e.Element.Font.FontFamily, 9f, FontStyle.Bold);

e.Element.ForeColor = Color.Green;

e.Element.AutoToolTip = true;

}

The problem is, from that point on, the cell will continue to render those styles even if the date inside that cell changes. (Like when the calender's month is change.)

Since the "correct" style for the cell can vary, I can't simply reset the values manually. How can I resolve this?
