hi,

I have drawn a graph with Date on X-Axis. The width of the chart is 400px only.
whenever I am displaying the chart with 10 days data, it is displaying as required.
But when displaying the chart with 100 days data, the chart becomes more condensed so as to show all 100 days data within 400px.

My requirement is to display a scroll bar on X-axis, when ever the data is more than the 10 days(Approximately).
Note: Y-axis should be constant. (i.e whenever i am scrolling, Y-axis should appear, only the X-axis data needs to scroll).

Thanks and Regards,
chandra.

Three problems with adding new row.

Hi
Version: 2010 Q2 SP2

1. When grid has at least one real row in row for adding new rows there is text:
    “Click here to add new row”.
    Problem is when grid is empty and there is only row for adding new rows.
    Then this row is selected and there is no text “Click here to add new row”.
    It might be confusing to the user – user might not know how to add new row.

How can I display text “Click here to add new row” in row for adding new rows if grid is empty (there are no real rows)?

2. If during adding new row user presses Esc button adding is canceled and text “Click here to add new row” is displaying – this is ok.
How can I know that user canceled adding new row? Is there any event for this?

3. Can I use some another text than “Click here to add new row”?
I would like to define my own text for adding new rows.

Regards.

Get a reference to the cell in CellValidated?

Is there a way to obtain the cell in the CellValidated event?

I want to check if cell.ContainsErrors, but I don't seem to be able to get the Cell.

grid1.rows(e.rowIndex).Cells(e.columnIndex) provides the CellInfo, not the cell itself.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Change backcolor of a cell when current row is changing

I have a scenario, where a user is editing a row. Based on whether this row is in a modified state or not, I want to paint the 5th cell ( i.e. 'Modified' column) with a skyblue back color when the current row is changing. I tried using a condition object in form load event, but it failed to apply when I leave the current row after changing it. When current row is changing, I am determining whether the row was modified and if yes , then I am setting the 'Modified' column to 'Yes', and I am having no problems with this part of the logic.
I am using Q1 2008 SP1 version.

My code for condition object that I used is:

ConditionalFormattingObject obj =

new ConditionalFormattingObject("MyCondition", ConditionTypes.Equal, "Yes", "",true);

obj.CellBackColor = Color.SkyBlue;

obj.CellForeColor = Color.Red;

obj.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;

attributesRadGridView.Columns["Modified"].ConditionalFormattingObjectList.Add(obj);

How can I paint a cell in above scenario or paint the whole row? Either will do.

Thanks
Sunil

Hierarchical grid view - Index was out of range grid exception.

Hi,

When I create a simple hierarchical grid view (example code snippet (4) attached below) I'm getting an exception (2) with a stack trace (3) you can find below. t occurs always when there are 3 or more hierarchy levels. Below I'm describing also reproducibility steps.

Any patch or feedback if I''m doing anything wrong would be appreciated.

Regards.

Reproducibility Steps:

1. Use code snippet

2. Expand all nodes

3. Collapse first root node
