Hello,

someone knows how i can get the Location - X Coordinate of a Column or Cell Control / Element?
I could not manage it to get the position / location of the Column.

I only found the Location Property of the Cell Element.

radGV.CurrentCell.Location.X

But the Value is always 0.

Why I need this - I have a GridView and above the Grid I want to place a TextBox with the same Width and Location of the current Cell / Column. When I press a special key - the TextBox will stuck at the current Location - with that i want to highlight that this Column is Fixed ( I dont want to pin it ).

Best Regards,

Raimund

Custom Sort

I need to perform a custom sort that is different depending on which column the user selects for the sort.

I cannot seem to determine which column the user selected to sort within the CustomSorting event.

e.Column and e.GridViewTemplate are both deprecated.

How do I determine the column that the user selected for the sort within the CustomSorting event?

Splitted link on RadLabel

We recently updated to Q1 2010 SP2.

We have a RadLabel on a form with the the following for the text property:

<html><a href="about:blank">Advanced Mode</a></html>

This worked fine before SP2, but now it display with no underline where there is a space. In other words, instead of having Advanced Mode underlined as a link, only the 2 words are underline, making it appear as these are two different links.

How do I fix this?

Programmatically Setting Custom Control Cell values In Hierarchical Child Rows

How can I programmatically change the checked/unchecked value in child row cells displayed as custom cells derived from RadCheckBoxElements? Here are details of my appliation:

I have an unbound Q1 2011 RadGridView control with a single hierarchical child level in a VB.Net 2010 Winforms application . There is a 1-to-many parent-child value relationship - ie a single parent row can have multiple child row values. When the RadGridView is expanded, the multiple child rows are made up of custom cells derived from a RadCheckBoxElement. I am using a custom cell derived from RadCheckboxElement rather than a GridViewCheckView column because I want to show a text value in the cell along with the checkbox.

Selecting a child row RadCheckBoxElement-derived cell updates a value in the parent row but also needs to uncheck any other checkboxes in the same child rows. My custom RadCheckBoxElement cell takes an EventHandler as a constructor parameter so the MouseUp event of the RadCheckBoxElement can call the parent form to update the desired parent row cell. I cannot figure out how to iterate through the other child row custom cells to uncheck any checked RadCheckBoxElements.

I have created my custom cell element class derived from GridDataCellElement. Here is the partial class definition:

Public Class CheckBoxCellElement

Inherits GridDataCellElement

Private chkBox As RadCheckBoxElement

Private clickEvent As EventHandler

Public Sub New(ByVal column As GridViewColumn, ByVal row As GridRowElement, ByVal extClickEvent As EventHandler)

MyBase.New(column, row)

clickEvent = extClickEvent

End Sub

In the overridden CreateChildElements method I create the RadCheckboxElement and add a handler for the MouseUp event which in turn calls the passed in clickEvent. This clickEvent is passed in from the parent form in the RadGridView_CreateCell event thus:

Private Sub RadGridView1_CreateCell(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCreateCellEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CreateCell

If Not TypeOf e.Column Is CheckBoxColumn OrElse Not TypeOf e.Row Is GridDataRowElement Then Return

e.CellElement = New CheckBoxCellElement(e.Column, e.Row, New EventHandler(AddressOf CheckBoxElementClicked))

Here is the method in the parent form that updates the desired RadGridView.ParentRow value - note that CheckBoxCellEventArgs is inherited from EventArgs with some extra fields:

Private Sub CheckBoxElementClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

If Not TypeOf sender Is RadCheckBoxElement OrElse Not TypeOf e Is CheckBoxCellEventArgs Then Return

Dim evArgs As CheckBoxCellEventArgs = CType(e, CheckBoxCellEventArgs)

RadGridView1.MasterTemplate.Rows(evArgs.ParentRowIndex).Cells(_ciParentRowOptionValueColIndex).Value = evArgs.NewValue

End Sub

I've tried finding a way to iterate through the custom cells containing RadCheckBoxElements in both the custom cell class RadCheckBoxElement_MouseUp event handler and in the parent form method passed in to the custom cell constructor as an EventHandler. Guidance would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Frank

Trailing effect on moving the form...

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest trial version of WinForms Q1 2011. I have added a new Telerik project and removed the original Form1 and added a RadForm. Then had added the Office2007Black theme. Added a SlitContainer with two horizontal panels. Now when I run the project and moved the form around the screen, it shows a trailing effect.

I have attached the screenshot with this.

Why is it so ?

MultiSelect + vertical scrolling = big problem

I'm using 2011 Q1 Service Pack 1 release.
When MultiSelect is enabled, the rows unexpectedly get selected if (and it happens easily) the mouse gets out of the scrollbar area and into the grid area while scrolling up/down the grid. This is not a standard Windows behavior and is a huge problem for our customers.

We chose Telerik hoping it helps, but every time we try one of the features, we run into problems... really frustrating.

Below is a sample that shows the problem, and the attached image shows how the rows were incorrectly selected while scrolling. I hope there is a workaround for it.

Duff Demo

Go to the Buttons demo. Select the radio buttons demo.

Now pick one of the Office2010 themes.

The shaped checkboxes all become circles.

The non-office themes are OK though.
