Databound GridViewComboBoxColumn Problem

I have a column defined in my gridview. It's name is "Energy".

I use the following code to bind my object to it. The object is a generic List<> of other objects.

((

GridViewComboBoxColumn)m_grd.Columns["Energy"]).DataSource = m_snc.Configuration.CurrentRadiationDevice.Energies;

The binding seems to work fine as far as display is concerned. Each "Energy" object has a ToString() override which allows me to see what I want in cases where I bind it to drop down's (like in this case). The combo box is filled with the appropriate display values; however when I select an item from the combo box and check to see the value's type, it is always a System.String instead of the object type of the item that is selected. In this case the expected behavior of the following method would be my custom object's type instead of System.String.

row.Cells["Energy"].Value.GetType()

RadDock Toolbox to Document but not back

Using the RadControls for WinForms Dock Visual Studio IDE example program simply do the following:
Drag the RadButton Toolbox onto the Document panel.

The Toolbox is now shown as a Document and it is not possible to drag it back to where it was before the move.

Found the answer myself:

The context menu (right click on the tab) contains more entries than the normal document windows one of which is "Floating".
Selecting this function returns it back into a Toolbox window.

Web like UI behavior

I am looking to extend the grid so it behaves like one the web control counterparts for presenting details in a form like manner. I want to customize the grid so adding/editing a row can be done inline using the details view real estate. An example of the desired layout can be found looking at telerik asp example: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/dataediting/usercontroleditform/defaultcs.aspx . Does anyone have an example that accomplishes this?

[Solved] A couple of problems with sorting

Hello!

I found a couple of problems with sorting in the latest WinForms RadGridView (2011.1.11.315). I use Visual Studio 2008 with .NET 3.5.

I have created a single form with a RadGridView.

Form1.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Test

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

List<DataItem> list = new List<DataItem>();

list.Add(new DataItem() { Name = "Item 1" });

list.Add(new DataItem() { Name = "Item 3" });

list.Add(new DataItem() { Name = "Item 2" });

radGridView1.DataSource = list;

}

public class DataItem

{

public string Name { get; set; }

}

Form1.Designer.cs

namespace Test

{

partial class Form1

{

/// <summary>

/// Required designer variable.

/// </summary>

private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

/// <summary>

/// Clean up any resources being used.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

{

if (disposing && (components != null))

{

components.Dispose();

}

base.Dispose(disposing);

}

#region Windows Form Designer generated code

/// <summary>

/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify

/// the contents of this method with the code editor.

/// </summary>

private void InitializeComponent()

{

Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewTextBoxColumn gridViewTextBoxColumn1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewTextBoxColumn();

Telerik.WinControls.Data.SortDescriptor sortDescriptor1 = new Telerik.WinControls.Data.SortDescriptor();

this.radGridView1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radGridView1)).BeginInit();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate)).BeginInit();

this.SuspendLayout();

//

// radGridView1

//

this.radGridView1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;

this.radGridView1.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Default;

this.radGridView1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;

this.radGridView1.EnableCustomSorting = true;

this.radGridView1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 8.25F);

this.radGridView1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.ControlText;

this.radGridView1.ImeMode = System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.NoControl;

this.radGridView1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);

//

// radGridView1

//

gridViewTextBoxColumn1.FieldName = "Name";

gridViewTextBoxColumn1.FormatString = "";

gridViewTextBoxColumn1.HeaderText = "Name";

gridViewTextBoxColumn1.Name = "Name";

this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.Columns.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn[] {

gridViewTextBoxColumn1});

sortDescriptor1.PropertyName = "Name";

this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.SortDescriptors.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.Data.SortDescriptor[] {

sortDescriptor1});

this.radGridView1.Name = "radGridView1";

this.radGridView1.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.No;

this.radGridView1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(284, 264);

this.radGridView1.TabIndex = 0;

this.radGridView1.Text = "radGridView1";

//

// Form1

//

this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);

this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;

this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(284, 264);

this.Controls.Add(this.radGridView1);

this.Name = "Form1";

this.Text = "Form1";

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate)).EndInit();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radGridView1)).EndInit();

this.ResumeLayout(false);

}

#endregion

private Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView radGridView1;

}

The grid sorting is set in the Property Builder. But when line

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.radGridView1)).EndInit();

is executed, the SortDescriptors collection is cleared and the grid becomes unsortable. This worked well in v.2010.3.10.1215.

Another problem concerns the custom sorting. I found that the CustomSorting handler is not called if the SortDescriptors collection is empty. I think this is not correct behavior, because the custom sorting logic is coded explitly and it should not depend on the grid sort descriptiors. If we note the first problem listed above, the CustomSorting handler is not called until the SortDescriptors collection is explicitly populated with the application code, or the column header is clicked by user.

Thank you.

Controls Vanishing

Good Evening

I am using the 2010 Q3 controls and i have created some buttons within a Vertical Button Group. However the controls that i have had on there and assigned code to and everything have suddenly vanished and keetp vanishing even when i recreate them however i have to create them with a different name.

They are in the designed code:

Me.btnSetVATFigure = New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadLabelElement

and

'

'RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4

'

Me.RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4.Items.AddRange(New Telerik.WinControls.RadItem() {Me.RadButtonElement18, Me.btnRemoveProject, Me.RadButtonElement17, Me.btnPricingRemoveProject, Me.btnPricingEditPrices, Me.RadButtonElement20, Me.btnSetVATFigure})

Me.RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4.Name = "RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4"

Me.RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4.Orientation = System.Windows.Forms.Orientation.Vertical

Me.RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4.Text = "RadRibbonBarButtonGroup4"

note end of the first line me.btnSetVATFigure

However as you can see from the attached screen shot the button is not visible on the form.

Can someone please explain this to me as its getting very annoying now as I'm sure you will appreciate.

Thank you in advance
