SaveXML and LoadXML only works partially

Hi,

I'm using Winform Q1 2011 SP1 and VS2008.
While trying RadTreeView.SaveXML(@"TreeView.xml") , I noticed that information such as forecolor, strikeout fontstyle ...for each individual node is not saved in the XML document.
When using RadTreeView.LoadXML(@"TreeView.xml")), and while information such as CheckState="On" is in the XML document next to some nodes, the RadTreeView is loaded without any of the node's checkboxes being 'checked (they're all left unchecked).
Also and if I add manually Forecolor="Green" in the TreeView.xml document next to some nodes, the LoadXML method will assign correctly the color green to some nodes.

As I plan to let the user decide of the data to be added in the RadTreeView, it sounded like a promising feature, so is there anyway to correct the above (get checkboxes checked or unchecked, forecolor...)?
SaveXML allows for some extra types to be saved. What are they? Any documentation on this?

The help file mentions also that 'For direct access to the tree view XML as text use the TreeViewXML property.'. How is this implemented concretely?

Best regards,
Alain Cavenaile

Unable to get hierarchy (+/-) indicators to disappear with empty rows.

Hello I have created this simple bit of code that displays a hierarchial orders grid (see screen1.jpg)

Now I want to hide the +/- buttons if there are no rows (ie Order Ref 2 & 4) - Having searched the threads and copied the functions from those threads (RadGridView1_ViewCellFormatting,IsExpandable & RadGridView1_ChildViewExpanding)

It just hides them all because rowInfo.ChildRows.Count =0! (as per screen2.jpg)

Can anybody spot where I'm going wrong?

Many thanks

Terry

Change Row Background Color Once a Row is Created

How can I change the background color of a new row that has just been added. I am currently using RowFormatting for other conditions. Basically, I want to show the user when a value in a cell in a row has changed, or when they add a row. Any suggestions?

[Solved] End-User Ungrouping

Under the newest Telerik controls for Winforms (2011.1.11.419) -- Ungrouping seems to have changed. Instead of being able to drag from the group panel to ungroup - you must hit the "X". My users have a problem with this and would prefer the Drag and Drop Ungrouping feature.

Was this removed? And if so, is there a workaround I might employ?

Thanks

[Solved] DockWindow contents disappear on confirm closing

I want to add a confirm dialog when a user tries do close a dockwindow, I'm using the raddock as a mdicontainer, I use the DockWindowClosing event:

private void radDock1_DockWindowClosing(object sender, DockWindowCancelEventArgs e)

{

if (RadMessageBox.Show("Are you sure", "Confirm"

, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, RadMessageIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No) {

e.Cancel = true;

}

The problem is that when I call RadMessageBox.Show, all the contents of the radwindow disappear.

How can I fix this so that I can ask for confirmation when closing a raddock window?

Thanks in advance.

[Solved] Using WinForms control in an Access application through interop

We are trying to migrate an Access application to .Net. To do this we use Microsoft's interop toolkit which allows us to create ActiveX controls in .Net. So what it basically comes down to is this: we create a new interop user control, place some WinForms controls on it, build and register the assembly and use it in Access.

After some extensive tests we noticed that Telerik's WinForm controls do not behave well in an Access environment. In a .Net application the controls work just fine.

Here's some examples of things we've seen:

RadGridView: crashes when leaving cells with a RadSpinEditor as their editing control. The application shuts down without showing an error. The event log mentions exception 0xc0000fd, which appears to be a stack overflow.
RadGridView: columns using RadSpinEditor cannot be edited.
RadContextMenu: navigating through the menu using the arrow keys scrolls 3 items up or down instead of one.

I know the controls are not exactly intended to be used like this, but is there anyone else who had similar experiences with the WinForms controls? And has a solution to make the controls more stable?

Greetings,

Kris

checkbox current value

hi I have a checkbox where I need to check something if it is selected. In the cellbeginedit event I check the value of the checkbox but it is false when I clearly set it to true. Is there a different way to approach this? All I need to do is call a function if the checkbox is set to ticked. The column is also added at run time if that helps. Thanks.
