RadControls for WPF Q1 2011 BETA Now Available

As a good tradition we are happy to announce the availability of Q1 2011 Beta of RadControls for WPF. Along with a bunch of new features and improvements we are glad to present you several new controls.

RadRichTextBox

In response to numerous client requests we included the RichTextBox control in our WPF suite. Just like its counterpart for Silverlight the new RadRichTextBox for WPF offers broad editing and formatting capabilities with unmatched performance and true Word-like experience.

RadDataForm

RadDataForm control provides UI for displaying and editing properties of an object in a form layout. It includes collection navigation capabilities, editing and respects key DataAnnotation attributes.

RadExpressionEditor

The new RadExpressionEditor provides end users the ability to write and edit complex formula expressions as a free form text. At the same time the new control gives the developers access to the structured data (in the form of a LINQ expression) about the entered expression. The primary use case for this component is integration within RadGridView and its LINQ based data engine, which allows unlimited runtime data shaping customizations.

RadMaskedInput

RadMaskedInput controls are designed for masking (controlling correct input) and formatting (displaying) culture specific values like numbers, currency, dates and text. The controls support data validation and provide great control over the input behavior, navigation, masked text (when in edit mode), display text (when not in edit mode).

You can download the installation files under your accounts. The files are marked with Q1 2011 Beta.

Online demos are available at:

RadControls for WPF

Full details can be found at:

RadControls for WPF

We will greatly appreciate your feedback in our Beta forums:

"New Row" Theme/Background Color

I'm using the Office 2010 theme and have the following issues

1. How do I see the text "Click here to add a new row"? With this theme, I am not seeing this. I assume this is because of the theme, perhaps not. Either way, the documentation shows this at the top of the grid (directly under the column headers) and my grid does not show it.

2. How can I change the background color of this new row which is being filled in?

Thanks,
Chris

Find if the user changed text using EditorRequired event handler

Hello,

I have a unique requirement where I have to find out if a user manually entered a value in the cell or the system generated it. For example, in a cell it shows 10 as the current value and if the user typed in 10 again, the application has to know if 10 is typed in by user or not.

The cells could have any value type and so I am changing the editor in radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e). However, the handlers for the EditorElements are not being called when the user edits the cells. I am using RadComboBoxEditorElement, GridSpinEditorElement and RadTextBoxEditorElement.

private void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)

{

var varModel = radGridView1.CurrentRow.Tag as VariableModel;

if (varModel.Variable != null)

{

var variableType = varModel.Variable.VariableType;

if (varModel.Variable.VariableSelectionValueCollection.Count > 0)

{

var selValCol = varModel.Variable.VariableSelectionValueCollection;

if (selValCol != null && selValCol.Count > 0) // if to be shown as a dropdown // todo: vsv fix

{

var editor = new RadComboBoxEditor();

var elem = editor.EditorElement as RadComboBoxEditorElement;

elem.DropDownWidth = radGridView1.Columns[STR_ValueCol].Width + radGridView1.Columns[STR_UnitsCol].Width;

elem.DropDownStyle = RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;

elem.MaxDropDownItems = 10;

elem.DataSource = selValCol.Select(vs => vs.Description).ToList<string>();

editor.DropDownSizingMode = SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom;

//editor.ValueChanged += new EventHandler(editor_ValueChanged);

e.Editor = editor;

}

else if (variableType == VariableTypeEnum.Integer)

{

var editor = new GridSpinEditor();

var elem = editor.EditorElement as GridSpinEditorElement;

elem.MaxValue = int.MaxValue;

elem.MinValue = int.MinValue;

if (varModel.Variable.Val != null)

editor.Value = varModel.Variable.Val.ToInt32();

e.Editor = editor;

}

else if (variableType == VariableTypeEnum.Double) // todo : capture keys to exclude text

{

e.EditorType = typeof(RadTextBoxEditor);

var editor = new RadTextBoxEditor();

var elem = editor.EditorElement as RadTextBoxEditorElement;

//elem.TextChanging += new TextChangingEventHandler(Editor_TextChanging);

//elem.TextChanged += new EventHandler(elem_TextChanged);

if (varModel.Variable.Val != null)

editor.Value = varModel.Variable.Val.ToDouble();

e.Editor = editor;

}

else if (variableType == VariableTypeEnum.Boolean)

{

var editor = new RadComboBoxEditor();

var elem = editor.EditorElement as RadComboBoxEditorElement;

elem.Items.AddRange(new[] { new RadComboBoxItem("True"), new RadComboBoxItem("False") });

editor.Value = elem.Items.Where(ri => ri.Text.ToLower() == varModel.Variable.Val.Val.ToLower()).FirstOrDefault();

e.Editor = editor;

}

else if (variableType == VariableTypeEnum.String)

{

e.EditorType = typeof(RadTextBoxEditor);

var editor = new RadTextBoxEditor();

var elem = editor.EditorElement as RadTextBoxEditorElement;

//elem.TextChanged += new EventHandler(elem_TextChanged);

if (varModel.Variable.Val != null)

editor.Value = varModel.Variable.Val.ToString();

e.Editor = editor;

}

Thanks

Cell color scrolling

Hi all,

I have need for a cell background color to change when the data changes in that cell.. Currently I have it working in the ValueChanged event and it works fine, but when I scroll, the cell color doesn't scroll with the rows.. I undersgtand this is due to the visual elements and that I should set the color in the RowFormatting event, however, I have no idea what the value is, and can not do "conditional formatting"... is there a way to know, in RowFormatting, that the cell has been changed?
Thanks,

Matt

My code to do this in CellValueChanged is:

void gvMain_CellValueChanged(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)

{

GridDataCellElement ce = (GridDataCellElement)sender;

ce.BackColor = Color.LightPink;

ce.BackColor2 = Color.White;

ce.NumberOfColors = 2;

ce.DrawFill = true;

ce.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Linear;

_dataDirty = true;

btnSave.Visible = true;

}

How to programatically select a specific tab?

Have been scratching my head a little over this one for a while, so I thought I would ask the question here on the forums!

If I have a radDock that has for example 3 tabs/documents in the DocumentManager, how would I programatically select one of the tabs?

I would have thought:

this.radDock1.DocumentManager.ActiveDocument = radDock1.DockWindows[1];

would be the way to go, but that property is read only.

I can't find anything in the documentation for this and boy, I wish you guys would comment all the methods and prcedures in the radDock library, so intellisense would give me a clue!

Thanks for the help,

Richard.

Gridview Unfiltered Rows

Hello,
I have looked and see that some people report that the isvisible property is true or false depending on whether the row is filtered.
I don't find this in my project.

I have a gridview that is bound to a datatable.
When the user filters the rows, we want to be able to iterate over the unfiltered rows and update a value in a cell.

Whenever I iterate over the gridview.rows collection, the gridviewrowinfo.isvisible is always true, regardless of filter state.

Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong?

Here is a snipit of code

Dim mCellPos As Integer = rgvItemsAndProps.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex

rgvItemsAndProps.BeginEdit()

For Each gr As GridViewRowInfo In rgvItemsAndProps.Rows

Dim y As String = gr.Cells(2).Value

If gr.IsVisible = True Then

gr.Cells(mCellPos).Value = _ItemPropGridClipboard

End If

Next

rgvItemsAndProps.EndEdit()

End If

GridViewColumn: FieldName vs Name - Incorrect documentation or bug?

According to the documentation for the GridView control (v2010.3.10.1215):

Gets or sets the name data source property or database column to which the is bound.

Gets or sets a string value representing the column's unique name in the Columns collection of the .

However, the code below does not display the value for SQL field "ProjectTitle"

   GridViewTextBoxColumn1.FieldName = "ProjectTitle"
       GridViewTextBoxColumn1.HeaderText = "Title"
   GridViewTextBoxColumn1.Name = "Title"

Instead, I have to set the property Name to the SQL field. The property FieldName can be anything.

GridViewTextBoxColumn1.FieldName = "Foobar"
       GridViewTextBoxColumn1.HeaderText = "Title"
   GridViewTextBoxColumn1.Name = "ProjectTitle"

Can someone explain to me which is correct?

By the way, I am binding to a SQLDataReader and AutoGenerateColumns is false.
