I am converting a rad toolstrip to the new command bar, but I don't see the AllowDragging property which used to allow me to re-arrange the order of items in the toolstrip. How do I do this now?
Thanks

Ribbon bar and Office Ribbon Guidelines

Just for the people at Telerik:

Why does the Ribbon Bar doesn't follow the Microsoft Office Ribbon Guidelines?

My first impressions find this errors:

Application Menu not under half of the Application Button in Z-Order as in Office Apps, this should hide the tabs that are under the application menu, near to the application button, but you can see them
Ribbon Tabs Spacing/Size, too small.
Vertical Centering on Button Groups, The are align to the top
Group Title Colors
Quick Access Toolbar Button Alignment
Color Gradients
Button Sizes on the Application Menu
Borders on Gallery Elements
Subitems on the Application Menu are in a popup and not replacing/overlapping the contents on the right pane, it get's out of the right pane.
The right pane in the Application Menu has an ugly border and a different separator between the left pane.

Have your ever used Office 2007? Does it looks the same?

As I have reviewed on the Samples installed with the Ultimate Collection Trial, this control looks bad, looks just similar to the Office Ribbon, but doesn't follow the Guidelines that are mandatory according to Microsoft documents, so to my expectations this would look like there's no QA, no quality at all.

I've always loved your controls for asp.net, but this one doesn't go to expectations and wouldn't buy it if it would be a look a like, and not an exact implementation of the specs, so my customers would look to a distorted version of the ribbon. I've have had Infragistics and their implementation is better, the only thing they failed in was with the Application Menu not under the Application Button, so I didn't renewed, and fixed the code, but wanted to migrate no newer controls, and to using only Telerik, but I won't until that gets fixed.

Changing headerrow size

Hi,

I tried to figure out how to change the size (height) of the headerrow in a gridview via VSB (Visual style builder).
But i'm not able to find the place to do this. I read in some other threads that i could do this by code, but i really want to set this by the theme. Can someone guide me to the right place. The other thread said something about a HeaderRowHeight property that i cannot find anyplace. I'm using the latest version (Q3 2010).

I also want to change the height of the tabs in a tabstrip.

I'm using the default-theme as the source of my customization.

Regards

New row cell value

Hi all.

I'm pretty stucked with my RadGridview here. I was wondering, and there will be a simple answer to this one;

When the user adds a new row in the grid, i want to assign a value from code. For example a ticket number or something.
So the first cell's value has to be inserted from code when the users adds a row.
I dont seem to find the code responsible for formatting the cells when the user adds a new row.

Thank you for your time

Selecting Item in RadDropDownList

hello,
        I am using 2 RadDropDownLists.

        Depending on Item selected in dropdownlist1 i have to populate other dropdownlist.

my code is:

private void Schedule_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            ddlSelectRoomType.DataSource = roomtype.getRoomType();

            ddlSelectRoomType.DisplayMember = "RoomTypeName";

            ddlSelectRoomType.ValueMember = "RoomTypeID";

            ddlSelectRoomType.Text = "Select Room Type";
}

private void ddlSelectRoomType_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
{
            //code to populate other dropdown depending on the value selected in 1st dropdown(ddlSelectRoomType)
}

   when i am trying to display the value of the selected item it is displaying the text of the selected Item and not the value which in this case should be RoomTypeID

Also, i am unable to select other Items in the dropdown list1(ddlSelectRoomType). only first Item is getting selected and text of ddlSelectRoomType- Select Room Type
is not getting displayed rather the 1st item in the dropdownlist is displayed.

how can i fix this?

Disabled Text Color

What would the easiest way to be to change the text color of an editor (or checkbox, or combobox) and nothing else. I have seen the post http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/editors/texbox-with-different-disabled-style.aspx but when I change UseDefaultDisabledPaint to false, the border effect goes away.
