Docking RadMenu

I have performed the following steps in trying to dock a radmenu.

1. Dock it to the top of a new RadForm with AutoSize set to true
2. Fill/dock another control (PageView, for example) on the form

There seems to be overlap that occurs between the controls, one of the controls will always hide (at least part of) the other.If I put a Windows menustrip in the same place, it behaves as expected and both controls coexist. The radmenu looks like it is doing what is expected in design mode, but is completely covered/hidden at runtime. Putting the radmenu on a radpanel (that is set up to autosize/grow/shrink to its content) results in the panel shrinking down to zero 0 size (in the designer). Is there a specific way to dock the menu with AutoSize enabled so the menu doesn't get overpowered by another docking control?

Automated testing

I am looking for information on the exepriences of other users with regard to automation testing application using telerik controls.

I see that telerik does not support the UI Automation object included in the Microsoft .NET 3.5 framework. How have other users approached this issue? Has anyone used Accesibility successfully for this purpose? Are there any other approaches?

Thank you for your time and your response.

Default backcolor of RadControls

Hi,
I have created a radiobutton control that inherits from RadRadioButton.
The problem I have is when I drop the control in a standard System.Windows.Forms.TabPage, the control doesn't keep the same background color of the TabPage. The operating system theme I'm using is Windows XP.
I attach an image that show the problem.
In the pic the part with white background is the TabPage, while the part with grey backcolor is the standard form.

It seems telerik RadControls doesn't care if the property TabPage.UseVisualStyleBackColor is true.

Thanks for any help

Row Border - Seperator?

Hello,

im trying to give the border of a row a custom color. I tried everything - but the border on the bottom and on the top does not change ( the border between 2 rows)

Here is my current RowFormatting Event

void _radGV_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)

{

e.RowElement.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.SingleBorder;

e.RowElement.BorderGradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;

if (e.RowElement.IsCurrent)

{

System.Drawing.Color c = System.Drawing.Color.LightBlue;

e.RowElement.BackColor = c;

e.RowElement.BackColor2 = c;

e.RowElement.BackColor3 = c;

e.RowElement.BackColor4 = c;

e.RowElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;

e.RowElement.BorderColor = c;

e.RowElement.BorderColor2 = c;

e.RowElement.BorderColor3 = c;

e.RowElement.BorderColor4 = c;

}

Attached is a picture if my description was a little bit unclear.

I would be very happy if someone knows where my problem or mistake is.

Greetings,
Raimund

Different theme for grid detail view?

Is it possible to set up a different theme for only the detail portion of the hierarchical grid? There does not appear to be any way in the existing gridview theme to specify cell colors and borders, row properties, etc. for the contents of the detail portion of the grid. When I change them in the existing grid theme, they do not apply to the child portion, even when I change them in the Visual Style Builder's RadGridView GridDetailViewRowElement or it's subelements. (Other changes I made in the theme do apply, so I am certain the theme is found properly). Ideally I would like the child rows to be styled differently from the parent rows, and so far the only way I seem to be able to affect them is through the CellFormatting event, but that is painful. Thank you for your time.

Problem with ExamplesVB demo

Have recently installed as trial Telerik Winforms Q2 SP1 2008. When I load the ExmplesVB demo into VS 2008 I receive in the region of 40+ errors and well over 200+ warnings. Same when I rebuild. I can run the compiled executable if I choose last working build even though there never was a correctly compiled build.
The rebuilt demo seems then to run in much the same way as the demo that loads at the end of the package install. There are however the same problems or errors. These are mainly with Themes which gives an exception and doesn't work and also with the media player. Most of the errors produced in the build are undefined property errors related to the Media demo.
Is there an update to the demos which works?
It looks like the demo is not completely finished and debugged.
Any help much appreciated.
