DropDown width for TextBox with AutoComplete

Hello,
is there a way to set the dropdown width for a text box with autocomplete programmatically.
In my case I have a narrow TextBox. When there are too many entries for selection a scroll bar overlays the items.
Please see the attached images.
Thank you for any hint.
Regards Roberto

Drag and Drop from Tree View to Grid View

I want to be able to drag a node from a tree view and drop it into a grid view right above the row under the mouse. Basically the same way the row re-ordering is done in the grid view (same effect and all) but instead of the same grid view being the source, a tree view would be one.

Thanks

Windows7 Theme in Ribbon distorted at runtime

Hi,

I've got a winform that inherits from "Inherits Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadRibbonForm" with a ribboncontrol on it, when designing in studio 2010 it looks great as it should be, but at runtime, the visual representation is weird. Did I forgot something? I've included both screenshots.

I used an existing project to start with.

Kind regards;
Philippe

How to select a cell for edit mode from code?

Hey,
I am doing a lot of calculations to the grid through code and it is real slow if I don't use grid.beginupdate() & grid.endupdate(). However, when i call these I lose the edit of the selected cell. Oh well, so i store the current cell information and try to set it to edit after all the calculations have been done:

Me.gvRoomNights.Rows(_LastRowIndex).Cells(_LastColIndex).BeginEdit()

However this doesn't seem to work. Actually it never really loses edit, if you type it will edit. However, it doesn't look like it is in edit mode. For example, it is not white and no cursor.

Another,
When I call, grid.beginupdate() & grid.endupdate(), the gird loses all of its cell formatting as far as backcolor.

Thanks in advance

Eric

Nested PageView has 3px margin I can't get rid of

I've got a form has the following
PageView with 2 Pages (Let's call them A and B)
On Page B, I will have another PageView with n pages (Generated at run-time).

The problem that I'm having is that there is a margin inside the PageView (top [3px] and left [5px] - bottom and right have no margin) in such that I cannot get a nice flush finish. See screenshot attached. I've verified that all the properties for both Margin and Padding are set to 0.

I also noticed that in the location must be set at -5,-3 in order to line up with the edges correctly - which is the same amount that this additional margin is adding.

In fact, I wanted to change the margin to say 10 just to try going the other way (so I knew I was adjusting the correct margin property), but it only worked for the bottom margin, no others.

If someone could provide an example of what I am doing wrong, or how to nest 2 pageviews with no margin, please let me know.

Thanks

Hi. I have a datagrid that has a data source added programatically. I need a column to calculate an expression based on the data, but it is not working. Is it possible to combine expressions in data gridviews? Below is a snippet of my code.

With gvEntregaDetalle
    .MasterTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = False

    .Columns("Pendiente").Expression = "Cantidad-Surtido"
