Hide RadContextMenu

Hi,

I am using a RadContextMenu and a spell checker on a richtextbox. When I right click on text, the RadContextMenu and the spell check menu are showing up. I want to hide the RadContextMenu when a user right clicks.

Following is the code I am using to accomplish that, but I think this is not the right way as a horizontal line shows up when I try to collapse the menu items part of the RadContextMenu. Also for the first time the RadContextMenu shows up even before I get into the mouseup event.

Please suggest me a way to hide the RadContextMenu.

private void rtbComments_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
if (rtbComments.SelectionLength > 0)
{
mnuCut.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
mnuCopy.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
mnuPaste.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
}
else
{
// Check if the words under the cursor are misspelled.
int x = SpellingCheckerEngine.CheckCtrlBackgroundMenu(rtbComments.Handle, e.X, e.Y, RTB1Options, RTB1MarkColor);
// If there were no misspelled words under the cursor, popup the copy menu.
if (x == 0)
{
mnuCut.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
mnuCopy.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
mnuPaste.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;
}
else
{
mnuCut.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
mnuCopy.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
mnuPaste.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
}
}
}
}

Problems with Progressbar

Hi,

I try to build a splashscreen including radprogess.
First I learned that after incrementing Value1 in a timer event I have to call Refresh - otherwhise the value is not updated visually.

Next problem - reading the documentation I found some confusing things:
"Background Color is used for the bar....".

Anyhow I find no easy way (except using a skin) that enables two things:

I want to have two bars - on "overall" and one for "current step".
I use the default skin (nothing changed) and get the following results:

A lime bar for value1 - no bar (shade or whatever) for value2.

It would be great to have some properties "Value1 - Bar Color / Value2 - Bar Color" or such a thing.
But I can't find anything like this.

Is there an easy way to get such a "2 bar progress"?
Is there also a way to display the value (percent) of value2 somewhere like with value1?

Regards

Manfred

Object-relational / self-referencing

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a problem binding the treeview to a list of folders which can contain assets at any level. Essentially what I want is the following:

Folder 1
-> Folder 2
---> Asset 2-1
-> Folder 3
-> Asset 1
---> Asset 1-1

So, a Folder can have Folders and Assets as children. To make it more confusing an Asset can have other Assets as children.

This application, for the moment at least, will not be stored in a database so I would like to bind through the related entities rather than having to use parent Id's etc. From looking through the Telerik samples, it seems that self-referencing and object-relational binding are carried out by different binding providers - is this correct?

Is it possible to carry out the above solely using binding? If not, I may have to end up binding to an object that has parent/child Id's for the self-referencing and also which encapsulates the actual object (Asset/Folder) that I really want to bind to.

I may have just answered my own question there, but I wouldn't mind hearing anyone else's thoughts on this if you have attempted the same thing.

Drag from a RadGridView and drop onto a WinForms DataGridView

Can I use RadDragDropService to do this? Because of constraint in the project I'm working on, I have a mix of a RadGridView and a WinForms DataGridView, and need to support dragging items from the RadGridView and drop them onto the DataGridView.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Application freezes when coming out of screensaver mode

The application I am developing largely relies on Telerik components from the following namespaces (referenced DLLs): WinControls, Docking, GridView, RadDock, Themes, UI and UI.Design. I am using Telerik RadControls for WinForms Q2 2009 SP1 (2009.2.9.729). The three people who are testing the application before it moves to production are all experiencing the same problem.

THE PROBLEM: The application works fine and has no issues with unresponsiveness or freezing UNTIL they will allow the application to run and let their screensaver come up while they do paperwork and then when they unlock their PC the app is frozen, most of the time it is just a white box where the app was. This used to be an issue for me but since I have upgraded to Windows 7 I haven't had a problem with it. The beta testers are all using Windows XP SP2, which is what I was using when I had a problem except i was on SP3. Their machines are more than adequate to handle the program as it is a simple data entry program as was mine.
I suspect either the docking or theming element in telerik is causing an issue but I haven't been able to trace it down.

Is this a known issue with a fix?
Is anyone else having this issue?
