Keeping Chart format

I have a chart which plots quite a few data point, as high as 300 on 3 series which comes from an array. I have the EXACT look that I want and populate it with;

radChart1.DataSource = Glb.dataArray;

radChart1.DataBind();

This works fine except all the formatting I setup is gone. I now have 900 labels which I had turned off. The line color changes to a look which doesn't match the rest of the window. Is there a way to just change the data without the rest of the chart getting changed to formatting which I don't want?

Thanks,

Joe B

New Visual Style Builder Starting Point

Hello,

I am trying to learn to use the new visual style builder and I have found one thing to be particularly annoying. In the documentation, you say that the Visual Style Builder:

"... is initially loaded with no styles applied to the controls, i.e. you can start styling a component from scratch."

However, it seems that the Visual Style Builder is loading with some sort of OfficeBlack theme or something. I would much prefer to start designing from the 'ControlDefault' theme, or whatever I see in my designer when I load Telerik Controls without themes. Is there some way to do this, or do I have to start from the Black theme?

Thanks!

Create Floating Forms of type Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm

Does anyone know how to float a new instance of a Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm form programmatically?

WABOM form = new WABOM(); //a new instance of a Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm form.
form.MdiParent = this;
form.Show();

This open a new tabbed document on my raddock.

I have my raddock set to MdiChildrenDockType = ToolWindow; I'm kinda at a loss right know. When running the application a can right click on the tab and select floating which works just fine...

radTrackBar & anchor inheritance

Hello, I've notive a strange thing with radTrackBar.

When you put a radTrackBar in a user control (let's say ucA) and set the anchor to Bottom, Left, Right
The radTrackBar will not appear once you drag the usercontrol in a form.
Same behavior if you create a new usercontrol inheriting from the first one (ucA)

hope this will be corrected soon.
Thx in advance
Cyril

Listbox Image behaviour unexpected

Hi Guys

I have class that inherits RadListBox to implement a menu.

I am loading an image and want to display the text at the left hand side of the item (ListBox cell) and the image at the right hand end.

"i" is a RadListBoxItem:

i.DisplayStyle = DisplayStyle.ImageAndText;
i.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight;
i.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.TextBeforeImage;
i.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
i.Image = item.Icon;

Items.Add(i);
EndInit();

This gives me the image straight after the text. The ImageAlignment property appears to be ignored.

In fact the only property it seems to honor is TextImageRelation

If I pad the text with spaces I can move the graphic across the cell, but this is too imprecise for a generic solution.
I tried experimenting with the AutoSize and AutoSizeMode property to no avail.

What is the best way of achieving this?

Thanks in advance

Cateogrized item in Combobox

Hi Telerik Team,

I have a requirement where in my combobox has to show up items based on category. For example if I want to display my branches based on the cities then I can load the city names in the combo box as bold (non-selectable) and under the city names i cna load the branch names which are selectable.

I also found a codeproject link on this requirement, pls have a look at it to get the exact idea.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/windowsribbon08.aspx

Since we use Radcombobox entirely for our project I would like to know whether we can achieve this in any way. I would be really pleased to have your response at the earliest possible.

Thanks
Kris

exporter_ExcelCellFormatting

Hi:

Can you give an example on how to use exporter_ExcelCellFormatting even? The example given in:

http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/export-excel.html

is NOT helpful. It shows the Sub exporter_ExcelCellFormatting(ByVal sender as object, ByVal e As . . . ). That's great, but how exactly do you call this even, what do you pass as the sender and what do you pass as the argument when a person is call this routine?

Generally, I find that many of your examples are 'half-cooked.' It shows part of a set of code, but often do not show, from start to finish, exactly how that set of codes should be used. A COMPLETE USAGE example within real context would be appreciated!
