I have a grid where I succesfully manage to open a combobox editor from a cell in a heirarchial grid and make an appropriate selection using the EditorRequired and CellBeginEdit events. The problem is that I need to have two columns in the dropdown list that is displayed. I have a comments column I wish to show beside the DisplayMember column.
As an alternative I tried to get the tootiptext to work but that doesn't seem to work either. Is this implemented?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm rapidly running out of time.

Adding other controls to the title bar in a ribbon bar

Hi

When we were using the telerik menu items we were able to add buttons and progress bars to the menu element. We have just changed our application menu structure to use the ribbon bar.

Is it possible to add other controls to the area above the tabs on a ribbon control so that they are always visible, independent of the selected tab?

Many Thanks
Steve

What's the workaround?

Selected Index Change

When populating a dropdownlist control the selected index changes, which triggers the action I have setup for the index changing... however when I initially populate the dropdownlist by setting a datatable as its datasource and defining the display and value members, the radDropDownList.SelectedItem.Value is a DataRowView object. After it's populated, though, the radDropDownList.SelectedItem.Value is an integer as it should be. Can this be explained to me why this is happening and the best way to work with it?

My code currently is this, and it will only work when I initially set the datasource:

private void someOtherMethod ()

{

sysParentDropDown.DataSource = dt;

sysParentDropDown.DisplayMember = "name";

sysParentDropDown.ValueMember = "panelid";

sysParentDropDown.SelectedIndex = -1;

}

private void sysParentDropDown_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)

{

if (this.sysParentDropDown.SelectedIndex > -1)

{

sysDeviceDropDown.Enabled = true;

try

{

sysDeviceDropDown.DataSource = null;

sysDeviceDropDown.Text = null;

sysInputDropDown.DataSource = null;

sysInputDropDown.Text = null;

DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)this.sysParentDropDown.SelectedItem.Value;

string s = "(panelid = " + drv.Row["panelid"].ToString() + ") AND (devid <> 0) AND (inputdevid = 0)";

DataRow[] foundRows = deviceNames.Select(s, "name asc");

DataTable dt = new DataTable("temp");

dt.Columns.Add("name");

dt.Columns.Add("devid");

foreach (DataRow dr in foundRows)

{

dt.ImportRow(dr);

}

DataRow row = dt.NewRow();

row["name"] = "";

row["devid"] = " ";

dt.Rows.InsertAt(row, 0);

sysDeviceDropDown.DisplayMember = "name";

sysDeviceDropDown.ValueMember = "devid";

sysDeviceDropDown.DataSource = dt;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

}

else

{

sysDeviceDropDown.Enabled = false;

sysDeviceDropDown.SelectedText = null;

sysInputDropDown.Enabled = false;

sysInputDropDown.SelectedText = null;

}

Thanks for your time

Remove empty line

hi,
I have a RadTextBox in MultiLine mode with a NullText. I add text with my code, but I have always a empty line at the end.
How can I remove that? Sounds as a pretty easy task, but for some reason it doesnot work for me, the empty line at the end is never removed.
Regards, Andreas

Edit entity in dropdown column

Hello,

I have a scenario where I need to have cell text to display one databound field from an entity property, but when in edit mode I would like to use a dropdownlist to change the underlying entity itself and not the value being displayed.

For example my entity in simple terms is as follows:

Vehicle (Main databound entity)
-- Vehicle.Make (relates to Make entity)
-- Vehicle.Model (relates to Make entity)
-- Vehicle.Year (relates to Year entity)
-- Vehicle.Region (relates to Region entity)

Make
-- Make.MakeID
-- Make.MakeName

Model
-- Model.ModelID
-- Model.ModelName

Year
-- Year.YearID

Region
-- RegionID
-- RegionAbbr
-- RegionFullName

I would like to have for example a Region column that displays Region.RegionAbbr in the cell text, but when entering edit mode give a list bound to Region enities. These entries should be bound to a List<Region> and displaymember should be set to RegionAbbr for display purposes. When an entity is selected from the dropdown, instead of altering Region.RegionAbbr I would like to intercept the change and assign the Dropdownlist DataBoundItem to the Vehicle.Region entity.

Can this be done?

Header back color

Hello,

I am trying to change color of the header cell in currently selected column. I tried to achieve this as it is done in this post Change of back color, however the header cells will start to react only if the user hovers with mouse over specified columns before he starts clicking into the grid.

Here is the code snippet I use

void electionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (SelectedCells.Count == 0)

return;

int index = SelectedCells[0].ColumnInfo.Index;

if (MasterGridViewInfo.TableHeaderRow.Cells[index].CellElement == null)

return;

for (int i = 0; i < Columns.Count; i++ )

MasterGridViewInfo.TableHeaderRow.Cells[i].CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty);

MasterGridViewInfo.TableHeaderRow.Cells[index].CellElement.SetValue(

LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Color.Blue);
