[Solved] Getting sender's column index

Hi,

I need to know the name of the sender's column in a GridView. The below code in WinForms Q2 2010 SP2 doesn't work. The code is:

Private Sub Grid_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Grid.ValueChanged

Dim dce As GridDataCellElement

dce = CType(sender, GridDataCellElement)

If dce.ColumnInfo.Name = "Devol" Then

If Grid.CurrentRow.Cells("Devol").Value Then

Grid.CurrentRow.Cells("DaysDefDev").ReadOnly = False

Else

Grid.CurrentRow.Cells("DaysDefDev").ReadOnly = True

Grid.CurrentRow.Cells("DaysDefDev").Value = 0

End If

End Sub

In the previous code the column named "Devol" is GridviewCheckBoxColumn and "DaysDefDev" is a numeric column. When I check or uncheck "Devol" column an exception occurs with the message like "Can't cast from 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCheckBoxEditor' to 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridDataCellElement'."

If I type TryCast insted of CType the object is always nothing and another exception is thrown.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

[Solved] VB.Net Custom Control Iinheriting RadGridView

I have created a custom control in VB.net which inherits a RadGridView. When I drop it on the form, it looks nothing like the base control. Does anyone know why this is and how I can make it look like the base control? I have attached an image of the base control and the custom control. The base control is on teh top and you can see the difference.

Thanks

[Solved] How can I stop users amending SOME appointments

Hi,

I am using the scheduler in TimeLineView and create my appointments programmatically. I want the users to be able to amend the dates and duration of some of the appointments, but not others.

I have set the appointment.AllowEdit to false, but this doesn’t seem to work, as the user can still amend the appointment.

Any thoughts or suggestions

Resizing Edit Appointment dialog

Is there a way to control the size of the Edit Appointment dialog or at least make it resizeable by the user? I find that it's not effeciently using all the space available in the browser and would like to make it taller to be able to display more custom fields without forcing the user to scroll. Earlier versions of the control didn't have this problem.

[Solved] Best Practice for Closing RadComboEditor on Item Selection

On the theme of cutting down on the user keystroke count for my application:

I have a RadGridView. Inside that RadGridView is a radComboColumn that contains information from a BoxCode DataTable. Value is the BoxCodeTable.ID and Display is BoxCodeTable.Description.

The BoxCode DataTable also stores length, width, and height information for a given box. When the user selects a box and the editor is closed, the length, width, and height values are loaded from the DataTable and inserted into three fields in the RadGridView's CurrentRow. The idea is that a user should be able to override these values in certain boundary conditions.

That's all working. But it is annoying to me that, when a BoxCode is selected from the ComboBoxColumn, the user must press the Enter Key (or click elsewhere on the grid) to close the editor. I want to take that keystroke out.

And I've managed to do that with a bit of a hack. However, it feels really, really awkward.

In RadGridView.CellBeginEdit event, I am calling the following code to bind an event to the RadComboBoxEditor:

                                        private void gvwManifestLines_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)         
                                {         
                                    if (e.ColumnIndex == this.gvwManifestLines.Columns["saturdayDelivery"].Index)         
                                    {         
                                        // A whole bunch of code omitted.         
                                    }         
                                    else if (e.ColumnIndex == this.gvwManifestLines.Columns["PackageChooser"].Index)         
                                    {         
                                        RadComboBoxEditor comboEditor = this.gvwManifestLines.ActiveEditor as RadComboBoxEditor;         
                                        comboEditor.DropDownStyle = RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;         
                                        comboEditor.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;         
                                        comboEditor.PopupClosed += new RadPopupClosedEventHandler(comboEditor_PopupClosed);         
                                 
                                        //More code for processing - not relevant.         
                                    }         
                                }         
                                 
                                void comboEditor_PopupClosed(object sender, RadPopupClosedEventArgs args)         
                                {         
                                    RadComboBoxEditor comboEditor = sender as RadComboBoxEditor;         
                                    if (comboEditor != null)         
                                    {         
                                        comboEditor.PopupClosed -= new RadPopupClosedEventHandler(comboEditor_PopupClosed);         
                                        SendKeys.Send("\r");         
                                    }         
                                }         
                                 

As you can see, I'm closing the editor by sending the return keystroke myself. This is working. I'm a bit shy about it, however. It feels a shaky to close the editor by relying on sending keystrokes. Is there a better solution to this problem?

I tried EndEdit(), but no dice.
