[Solved] How to get GridDataCellElement from grid

I have created custom cells in rad grid like this

private void radGrid_CellFormatting( object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e )
{
           if( e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "Rate")
            {
                CurrencyRate currencyRate = e.CellElement.RowInfo.DataBoundItem as CurrencyRate;
                RadSpinElement spin = new RadSpinElement( );
                spin.MinValue = 0;
                spin.MaxValue = decimal.MaxValue;
                spin.DecimalPlaces = 2;
                spin.TextAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
                spin.Value = currencyRate.Rate;
                e.CellElement.Children.Add( spin );
            }
}

now, how can I get RadSpinElement object from here

private void radGrid_CommandCellClick( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
                 GridCommandCellElement cell = sender as GridCommandCellElement;
                if( cell.ColumnInfo.Name == "Update" )
                {
                        //I need "Rate" RadSpinElement object here
                 }
}

without creating custom RadSpinGridCellElement.

Thanks.

CommandBar focus

Hello,

We started having a weird problem with one of our command bars. It would become inactive somehow when you interact with a rad grid on the same win form, and when you mouse over it the buttons won't change their background as usual, and if you try to click one, it won't do anything. In order to make it work you have to click once anywhere on the bar and then it behaves properly again. I tried explicitly calling Focus() on the bar and the strip element in the code behind but did not help. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Problem in Selected Row

Hi,

We have a Lookup window having a text box at top and Grid with Data. When user type in text box, we find the data in grid and select that Row. Grid in NOT having focus at that time means we want selected row to be shown while user is writing on text box. In previous version Q2 2010, it was working properly. from Q3 2010, until grid control don't have focus, it does not show Selected row....

Kindly advise any solution for this.

Thanks

[Solved] Unable to "completely" remove gradient from RadGridView's GridTableHeaderRowElement

Hi.

I am using the Visual Style Builder to create the theme for RadGridView.

I am trying to change the RowFill for GridTableHeaderRowElement with a new Gradient type repository item. I don't want the background to be gradient colored and thus I chose the GradientStyle = Solid. This does paint the background with the color I chose but the table header columns still have gradient color (different from what I selected) left in them.

I have attached the snapshot of the VSB screen where I did the above.

As you can see, there is still a tint of gray at the bottom of the header columns that I am not able to remove.

Can someone help?

Thanks.

[Solved] Tracking number of open raddesktop alerts

Hi I want to show only upto 3 desktop alerts at any given time. Some alerts have autoclose options while others do not. As such before displaying an alert, I need to check how many are open. I tried using the desktopalertmanager but running into null exception errors

Dim

iDesktopAlertManager As DesktopAlertManager
Dim value As IEnumerator(Of RadDesktopAlert)
value = iDesktopAlertManager.GetRegisteredAlerts()

I stepped though the code and the iDesktopAlertManager is nothing which causes a null exception error. I am not fully aware of the DesktopAlertManager.

This is similar to the code sample on your reference pages so not sure what I am doing wrong here...
