but when you type some search text in auto filter text box, it does auto size it properly and all the text is visible.

please have a look @ screen shot attached.

How to get value from 3rd table in gridview

I am using Gridview (Hierarchy) to display data from the database Northwind with a small modification:
- table Orders has following columns: OrderID, OrderDate
- table Details has: DetailsID, OrderID, ProductID, Quantity, UnitPrice, Total (Total is one column in Gridview using expression)
- table Products has: ProductID, ProductName, TaxID
- table Tax has: TaxID, Tax
The Orders table is parent table and the Details table is child table. With the ProductID and GridviewComboboxColumn I can display ProductName from the Products table, but I don't know how to get the Tax value from table Tax using the same method to complete the goal: Total=Quantity*UnitPrice*(1+Tax).
Do you have any idea to do that?
Any help would be appreciated.

radMenu on MDI

I've created a new project and am trying to do the following:

1. created a ShapedForm as MDI Parent
2. put a radPanel at the top of the ShapedForm
3. put a radMenu on the radPanel
4. set all of the above to Windows7 theme
5. in page load of the MDI (ShapedForm), i want to display a login form (Login) in the center of the MDI (Shaped form) via code below:

Dim fLogin As Form

fLogin = New Login

fLogin.MdiParent = Me

fLogin.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent

fLogin.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

fLogin.Show()

PROBLEMS:
1. the radmenu has no theme
2. in the radmenu, i have a radmenuHeaderItem - it is aligned on the top no matter what i try - so does not line up with the menu items (not aligned middled like the menu items).
3. the login page appears in the upper top left corner not centered.

i've looked for examples but none of what i'm trying to accomplish.
please help. i've been on asp.net for the past 5 years so it's frustrating.
thanks!

[Solved] Exporting a theme as a package after color blending

Hello,

I am using the windows 7 theme. I want my application color to be red so I use color blending. I am not totally satisfied with the result, so I would like to edit the generated red theme in the VSB as it is mentioned in this blog post :

http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/08-10-31/chameleon_skinning_coming_up_to_winforms_in_q3_2008.aspx
"And finally if the resulting skin still needs some touches, you can export the modified theme data to xml files, and tweak them using the Visual Style Builder app, as much as you wish. "

To export the theme I used the code attached in this thread, that uses XmlStyleBuilderRegistration objects.
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/themes-and-visual-style-builder/theme-and-addcolorblend-not-working.aspx

This code generated 56 Xml files. I start the VSB and hit "Open directory" to load all xml file but VSB says that these files are old and no more supported.

How can I export a color blended theme to edit it in the new VSB?

Thank You
Regards
Thibaut

[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!
