Dear all,

We are starting this new thread to keep you informed on the progress with the RadControls for WinForms documentation in the forthcoming release. Here we will post weekly (and sometimes nightly) builds of the product documentation for the products that we are currently working on. These builds:

will be complete enough for regular usage
will show the progress we are making with each new iteration
for the time being will not include API Reference, but we'll provide separate monthly builds

As you will see we are doing a major rework of the WinForms documentation, bringing it to a higher level.

We are looking forward to your comments, notes and topic requests. We would like you to tell us what you like or dislike in the way we develop the help files. All your opinions will be generously rewarded with Telerik points.

Thank you in advance! Expect the first version to appear later today.

Best Regards,

The Telerik Team

TextAlign property not visible in VS2010 designer for RadMaskedEditBox

Hello,
I need to set the TextAlign property to Right for a RadMaskedEditBox (numeric mask type, mask n).
I cannot see this property in the property list in the VS2010 for the control, but I can set the value programmatically without problems.
Is that a bug in the control at design time ?

Thank you,
Vincenzo

Hour lines and minutes lines in different color

Hi,
I'm using the RadScheduler by setting the RangeFactor as QuarterHour scale range. With that, there are three minute lines between the hour lines. As of now, all the lines are shown in same color, I'm trying to show the minute lines in different color than the hour lines. Are there any properties to acheive this?

Thanks in advance,

[Solved] Resize Toolstrip TextBoxElement

I came across this forum post, but it wasn't too helpful setting the maximum and minimum don't seem to work quite right. (Also the post is a little outdated)

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/toolstrip/how-to-resize-textbox-element.aspx

I am actually trying to make the TextBoxElement smaller. The default is about twice as wide as I would like (just want to show a page count "X of Y"). Nothing I have tried will reliably change the size of this textbox. I can get some of it to resize, but then the hosted .NET textbox control is misaligned and so the cursor doesn't look right. Having the TextBoxElement be this wide is ok if there is no workaround, but it takes up valuable horizontal screen real estate.

Thanks!

Project Distribution

Hi,

May I know how can I distribute the Telerik Control in my project together with my installation file? I couldn't find any merge module or things like that.

Please advice.

GridView ignores BindingList IsReadOnly

Hi,

I added a read only BindingList as a DataSource to a grid view. AllowAdd, AllowEdit, AllowRemove are all set to false and IsReadOnly is set to true. But the grid view still allows the edit of cells and adding new rows. Is this by design or do I miss any configuration!? I know that the normal Windows Forms DataGridView evaluates these flags I and thought the Telerik grid view would do the same.

Regards

Martin
