Is there any way to add the Telerik theming to non telerik controls - in particular the Microsoft Richtextbox control. (Telerik does not yet have a substitute for the richtextbox) -

For application look consistency - it would be good to have the same kind of scrollbars (of the telerik theme) for the richtextbox control.

Any workaround would be appreciated.

ChangeUICues event in button does not fired

Hi,

I have two RadForms (a master and detail form). In the master form, I have one RadButton which display the detail form.
In the detail form, there are two textboxes.
The steps for the problem as following:

1. Open the Master form. When tab and focus on the button, the "ChangeUICues" event on that button will be fired.
2. Click that button to open the detail form.
3. In the detail form, press "Tab" to focus on the second textbox.
4. Open the detail form.
5. After the Master form display again, tab and focus on the button. This time the "ChangeUICues" event on that button wouldn't be fired.

However, if I skip step 3, there is no problem. Please advise.

Private Sub btnButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnButton

frmDetail = New frmDetail

frmDetail.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent

frmDetail.Top = 0

frmDetail.Left = 0

frmDetail.Show()

Me.Hide()

End Sub

Private Sub frmDetail_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs) Handles frmDetail.FormClosed

Me.Show()

End Sub

Serious Gridview error and issues

Visual Studio 2008 Pro, .Net 3.5, SP 1
SQL Server 2008 R2
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Winforms Q1 2011

Both issues relate to the property builder for RadGridView

Whenever anything is changed in the property builder and the OK button clicked, the mouse pointer changes to busy and it takes two full minutes for the window to close. This window is modal and I have to wait to do anything else in Visual Studio.

More serious is the grid I created as an auto hierarchy from dataset. This is using two table adapters with a one to many relationship. Creating the grid is OK, and it functions properly. Once I start changing column names/widths etc, it begins to error when I try to open the property builder.

"Error invoking 'Open Property Builder'. Details: Stack Empty.

I've researched this error a bit and found a thread stating that this should have been hot-fixed seven months ago...so I'm wondering what can be done.

Also, once this occurs, strange things start to happen with the RadGridView. Sometimes the context menu doesn't show properly; the designer seems to think the control is actually a MasterTableView. Also had null object errors when viewing the designer code page. After restarting VS, the grid and all references were deleted.

Thanks for any help...I would really like to use the hierarchy function of the grid instead of two separate ones.

Databinding Indexers

Hi,

I have been looking to see if there is some built-in support for databinding the RadGridView to indexers. Any links to examples/samples would be greatly appreciated. In my particular case, I have:

class A, which has a several properties and a class B Property
class B, has several properties and indexer access by string and index

I would like to bind the RadGridView so for each row in the grid, I can see the underlying:
A properties
B's properties (the B instance accessed thru one of A's properties)
see select B values returned by B's indexer

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Vertical Scroll problem

Hi,
I have a grid whoose number of rows go beyond the screen and so the vertical scroll should come in. However in the initial view it does not render all the rows, but shows only those that can be fit to screen. I have acertained this by setting the vertical scroll to true., But any change to filter or any such rerendering the grid shows every row. Please see screenshot attached. The vertical scroll is set to always show

Thanks

prevent drag and drop within parent node

hi telerik team,
i am using radtreeview which is very useful for me in my current project, but, i need a help to accomplish it successfully ....
i have populated the tree view from a dataset. there will be more number of parent nodes and within each parent node, more than one child nodes will be there. Now i have to restrict the user to drag and drop the child nodes within the parent node itself. (Meaning : User should not interchange a child node from one parent node to another parent node. they should interchange or arrange a child node within its parent node itself). i dont have any idea about doing this in the tree view, so pls help me as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Guna

GridView and Enum

Hi

I've one question about the radGridView:

I want to bind a list of object (where I have an Enum property called Status) to my radGridView.

the problem is when I try to update a row I have an exception when I update the property Status, and I have the same problem when I try to set the related filter.

One solution was to create a custom Column and a Custom filter and then my grid work fine, and then I have to define the binding by myself.

My question is : when I set the grid DataSource by code and without define the mapping (cells definitions) It is possible to use automatically this custom column (and filter) when the column source is an Enum?

Then, if I have to class (ClassA, ClassB) with an Enum Property and if I try to set the Grid DataSource with a List of ClassA or ClassB, my grid detect my Enum property and use the custom column.

Thanks for your response

How to upgrade to the latest Q1-2011 ?

Hi...

Glad to hear that Q1-2011 is released. I think, there is an updated control that I was much awaiting for it to be released. :-)

One question. After we download the latest version of WinForms controls, how would we make changes to the apps that already uses an old version of these controls ?

Thanks

Making a control "ugly"?

Hi there.

I got a quite unusual task. I have an old winForm 2.0 Application which has no theme at all. It looks a bit like XP without luna. No designs etc.

Now I need a telerik radgrid but do NOT want any theme there. It should be as "ugly" as default

Any chance to achieve this?
