Hi,

Could You please provide Theme for WinForms style (I couldn't found one).

I was trying to achieve that using Visual Style Builder, but effect wasn't well rounded, even that I've spent some time on that.

The problem I'm facing is that I'm using RadGridView as an extension for a WinForm based project and it don't fit in well.

Another issue is that WinForms looks a little different on differents OS (XP, Windows 7) while RadGridView looks always exactly the same.

Regards.

RadCalendar.FocusedDate not showing in the view area

I have a RadCalendar set to a focused date, say 1/15/11 , but after i use the navigate button to move it to Feb and then bring it up again, it shows the month of Feb in the view instead of Jan (where focused date is 1/15/11). Do i have to do anything else to show the focused date on the calendars view.

cal_Dates.SelectedDate = (

DateTime)gv.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["SyDate"].Value; //eg- 1/15/11

cal_Dates.FocusedDate = cal_Dates.SelectedDate;

Thanks in advance for any help.

Gridview performance with grouping very slow

Hey there, having a performance issue when grouping is enabled. I do not believe it is the grouping logic, but perhaps a drawing issue. I have about 1800 items of 10 columns that are sorted and grouped (about 12 groups). When grouping is off, it runs very fast. With grouping on, it is painfully slow reacting to commands and changes in the bindinglist. However... if I keep most groups collapsed it runs fast again, which is what leads me to believe it may be redrawing (formatting, etc.) rows that are not visible to the user.

For now I will default the groups to collapsed, but would love some feedback on handling this performance issue when all groups are opened. I can only imagine a user with 5000+ items.

Thanks!

issues with ribbonbar and form theme

I had a radform with breeze extended theme. The I added a ribbonbar and it asked me to activate the radribbonbarform behaviour. But it told me that if i deleted the control it would reverse the automatically.

Now, I deleted the ribbonbar but the theme in the form and in all the other controls don't show the style ("breeze extended"). What can i do about it?

thanks a lot

Sort descriptors not working after upgrading to 2010.3 SP1

Hi there.

A few days ago, I upgraded from version 2010.3.1109 of the Windows Forms controls to version 2010.3.1215 (SP1). This was done to fix an issue with the RadButton.

However, now my sort descriptors I have added to a RadGridView are not being respected. Below is the code I am using which was working before the upgrade.

private void sortGrid()

{

int sortOrder = byBradFordRadioButton.ToggleState == Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.On ? 0 : 1;

dataGrid.SortDescriptors.Clear();

if ( sortOrder == 0 )

{

dataGrid.SortDescriptors.Add(new SortDescriptor("Bradford Factor", ListSortDirection.Descending));

// select the first row

dataGrid.setSelectedRowIndex(0);

}

else

{

dataGrid.SortDescriptors.Add(new SortDescriptor("Employee", ListSortDirection.Ascending));

}

Any clues on a workaround for this?

Add RadWaitingBar to RadStatusStrip Q3 2009

Hi,
I am using a trail version.

I try to add a WaitingBar to a StatusStrip. I use following code to archive this :

   waitingBar = new RadWaitingBar();
   waitingBar.BeginInit();
   Size waitingBarSize = new Size(this.radLabelElement2.Size.Width, this.radLabelElement2.Size.Height);
   waitingBar.MinimumSize = waitingBarSize;
   waitingBar.MaximumSize = waitingBarSize;
   waitingBar.EndInit();
   host = new RadHostItem(waitingBar);
   this.radLabelElement2.Margin = new Padding(0);
   this.radLabelElement2.Children.Add(host);

I just add a radLabel to the StatusStrip named radLabelElement2 and it worked but the appearence look a little bit strange :

I use the Desert Theme but the WaitingBar got a white border. I want is transparant. How can I archive this ?

Thanks

Upgraded Gridview version Problem

Hi,

I was using Q22009 version of Telerik control before in my project and everything was working fine. Few days back I downloaded latest version and replaced my existing refrences of telerik with new refrences .i.e. 2010.3.10.1109. All other controls are working fine but I am getting errors in gridview controls. I used new gridview in another sample project and observed that there is much difference in properties of old gridview and new gridview.

I used new and it was working fine also but as I said there are changes. So what I gues from this, I have to change all my grids now. But I have so many grids in my project and it require lot of time to change them now. I wanna to ask that is there any short way to make this chage.

Please recommmend me the easy and good solution to upgrades my controls with the latest version of Telerik.

Regards,

Ahmed Almousa
