Hi,

I opened a project just now and remembered that I had a problem that I thought I should mention:

I had a radform what had a radtab on it and 2 buttons. This form was started minimized to mimic system tray. The problem was when the form was restored to normal form, all controls shrunk and there was a wide horizontal band of space beneath the controls (the 2 buttons)

This behaviour was different on different machines (Win 7), probably because of the themes used, but always wrong.

I did not test it again because i changed strategy, but I thought i should mention it so you can correct it.

Hi,

 I'm just wondering if anyone has run into the following issue with the WinForms Buttons?

1. Using the Telerik RadButton and Dragon Dictate, it cannot find the label on the button and perform the click event.
2. Using the MS WinForms Button and Dragon Dictate, it can find the label on the button and perform the click event.

Am I missing any properties on the button that make this to be compatible with accessibility guide lines?

Regards,
Jonathan
 

hi,
I'm using VSB 8.2, I'm trying to apply theme on a RadCombobox but its working only partially.

The property/setting that is not working for me is when I try to set the background color for mouse over.....I shows correctly in preview but not on my form.

What I want to do is display a particular background color on mouse over items of the listbox or the lower part when the list is displayed on click of download button....it just defaults to the light orage color on hightlight and dark orange for  selected color...

I added the "Mouse over" state in RadVirtualizedStackReport->RadComboboxItem->FillPrimitive and set the backcolor there....


let me know if I'm missing anything..

Thanks

Harsh

Hello,   I am evaluating your product to make sure I can get it to work before I buy it and am having some problems making a custom theme in Visual Style Builder.  I am working on making a customized combo box and am having two problems:

1) If I  put a fill gradient on the RadComboBoxItem->FillPrimitive, it shows up fine in the design and preview images in VSB but it's just a plain white background when the combo drop-down appears in the application.  When I go back into VSB the fill setting is still there, so it is getting saved. Run time doesn't match design time.

2) In VSB, some of the design elements don't seem to change color to reflect changes I've made.  For example, in the combo box I'm working on, all the elements in the combo box reflect the settings correctly but nothing I do with the scroll bars in the dropdown list  seems to effect the design and preview images.  If I click the ScrollBarButton->FillPrimitive in the tree and change the BackColor in either the Expert Mode properties or by picking a color in the Initial State tab, the design and preview images do not reflect these changes.  The control also doesn't reflect these changes in the app at runtime.  Is there something that locks out these changes or overrides what I am doing?

My method of using the theme was to drop a radThemeManager on the form, open the Telerik theme, make my changes and then saved it as a new theme under a different name.  I then used the theme manager option "load theme from file", and finally picked the theme name on the control's menu which is using it.  It gets the combo box part of the custom theme correct, but ignores anything I do to the drop down portion of the combo box.

I'm running Visual Studio 2005 on XP.

Hello,

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my gridview to format appropriately, even though I've extensively looked through the knowledge-base and forums. I think the main cause of distress is the fact that changes make to my Theme in the Visual Style Builder are not reflected in the Preview or the Design view. This makes it hard to know what the grid will look like without running the project, which is time consuming. Is there any solution for this?

The main specific problem I am having is changing the formatting of the GridHeaderCellElements in my gridview. Using the Visual Style Builder doesn't seem to work at all (ala the tutorial) and when I do it programmatically, as in


This prevents the nice blue highlighting when the cursor is moved over the cells. Any way I can keep the highlighting intact?

Please help,
Jeremy

Very quick question- is there a quick and easy way to preview what a given style looks like on a specific control?

Hi,
I can't seem to get the preview in the visual style builder to render my updates.  It always shows the default theme.
Most of my testing has been with the GridView control.
I'm running Vista, and Q3-2008 of Winforms.
Thx,
JP

Hello,

I have a rad panel bar which I want to display without the border. 

So I set the theme to ControlDefault,
open the theme builder from the smart tag,
select RadPanelBarElement from the control structure tree,
edit the Bordercolor, BorderColor2,BorderColor3,BorderColor4 to all be transparent,
preview it and it look exactly as I want it to be.
Then I save the Style sheet in theme file (tried save theme as ... as well)
Return to project,
add the theme to the project,
Go to my RadThemeManage and Load Theme from resources,
Select the theme in the control properties and save.

Now run the prject and, as well as the borders being missing, the panel bar group elements are not as high and have changed colour...

Any ideas?

Hey all,

I'm having a really strange problem. I created a user control with a group box on it. I placed a few controls inside the group box, docked the group box to the user control, and anchored the controls in the group box to size accordingly. The problem I'm running into is that during the development of the control, everything looks and acts fine. After I compile and drop the user control onto a form, It creates a padded area to the right of the controls... Any ideas whats going on here?

I've attached a couple of screen shots of this for reference.
