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] Drag row from one radgrid to another?

Is it possible to drag one or more rows from one radgrid to another radgrid on a form?

I saw there was a property allowdrop so i'm guessing that it is possible.

Is there some example code on how to do this?

thanks

[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.

Scrolling using WrapLayoutPanel

Hi,

Ive created a custom control using the telerik controls, which is based on the "business card" example provided in the demo code.
That is a RadControl that allows custom RadButtomElements to be added to it. The RadButtonElements are stored in a WrapLayoutPanel. However Im having difficulty getting scrolling to work properly. Ive seen quite a few examples and threads about scrolling using the stacklayoutpanel, however I want to use the wraplayoutpanel to get better presentation, as each element is of variable size. However using the wraplayout the scrollbars do not appear correctly. At runtime it looks as though the viewport settings are calculated as if the viewport is a stacklayout not a wraplayout.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully looking at this code will make a bit more sense...

Version of Rad controls (WinForm) 2009.3.9.1203

RadScrollViewer

scrollViewer = new RadScrollViewer();

Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadPanel radPanel1= new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadPanel();

this.Controls.Add(this.radPanel1);
WrapLayoutPanel wrapLayout = new WrapLayoutPanel();

wrapLayout.Orientation =

Orientation.Horizontal;

scrollViewer.Viewport = wrapLayout;

this.radPanel1.PanelElement.Children.Add(scrollViewer);

for(int i = 0 ; i < 100; i++)

{

wrapLayout.Children.Add(

new RadButtonElement() {Text = "Test" + i, Padding = new Padding(5), Margin = new Padding(2), Size = new Size(50,10)});

}

[Solved] Set new row in edit mode programartically

Hi,

i've got some problems when i want to put a newly added row in edit mode through code.
My scenario is:
Q 2010 Sp2 GridView, which is bound to a BindindSource. The BindingSource is bound to an ObjectResult (EF4).
I wanted to add a new row via BindingSource.AddNew method.
Then i wanted the first cell of that newly added row to be in edit mode without any extra clicks.
The cell editor should be shown and ready to receive my input.

None of forums threads regarding "putting a cell in edit mode programatically" worked for me.
So i am looking for a general solution.

Kind Regards
Kim
