Help don't work in VS 2010

Hi,

I installed the Telerik Window Forms Control for Visual Studio 2008 and 2010. In Visual Studio 2008 the Telerik helps works fine. In VS 2010 it doesn't. E.g. in the code editor I move the cursor to a method or class from the Telerik Framework and hit F1. In VS 2008 the help appears, no problem. In VS 2010 I only get the message that no help can be found. The standard VS 2010 works fine even though I think the new help system is total crap. But that's not the problem. So, what can I do to get the Telerik help to work inside VS 2010.

Best regards

Martin Horst

Looking for collapsible groupbox

Hi,

I'm evaluating the latest version of the RAD controls for Winforms and I'm looking for some kind of control that will be like a collapsible groupbox. The idea is that i have a filter in my form which is a group of combo boxes contained in a groupbox. I'm looking for some kind behavior that when the groupbox header (for instance) is clicked the groupbox will collapse (and the header will remain) and another click will restore the groupbox to its original state.

I guess i could use the dock control, but i think it is too much for this case. I saw in your demo application of the RAD controls that there is some kind of splitter (QsfSplitter), is it a standard control?

Is there some kind of control in toolkit or in the custom control library that i've missed?

Thanks,
Sharon.

Tooltips in Dock menu

Hi,

I have a single DocumentTabStrip in a RadDock. There is a handy dropdown menu at the right of the dock that lists all open tabs in the tab strip. However, I am shortening the titles for the documents as they have very long names, and using a tooltip to display the full name (pretty much like Visual Studio). However these tooltips do not seem to carry over the the right hand menu.

Is there any way of carrying these over, as the menu can be very confusing if the user is looking at several similar documents?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Save appointment data to text file

Can anoyone show me an example on how to store appointment data to a textfile (and read it back again). I am looking for a easy, simple scheduler with text file storing (not bound to a database). I have seen in the introduction for this control that I can operate the scheduler in unbound mode, by storing the appointments collections. I'm a inexpirienced user, and I do not understand how to do this. Therefore I ask for a simple example, and hopefully my skills can grow from this example.

Using version 2009.3.1203
Best wishes.

Adding text to waitbar

I am trying to set the text property on the Wait bar but the text never appears. Is there something I am missing? I have worked around this for now by adding a label that is resized to the size of the waitbar then I set the text to Center\Center. But it seems like this would be what the Text property is for.

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Disabling alt-gr hotkey function

Hello!

Whenever I press the alt-gr sign in a control that belongs to a radribbonbar, the shortcut-menu with numbers are shown, which is an intersting feature. However, if I'm for example in a propertygrid and want to type something that requires the alt-gr button to be pressed (e.g. $,@,€ and £ on my swedish keyboard layout), it will make the propertygrid lose focus and I have to click it again to continue writing.

How do I solve this the easiest way, is it possible to disable the hotkey-function?

Best Regards,

Joel Sanderi

add dynamic labels to radPanelbarGroupElement.ContentPanel

When I add labels dynamically to the content panel, the content panel only displays the first label added. When I convert the labels to radLabelElements and add them directly to the groupElement, all of them display but the content panel is pushed south causing my panelbar to scroll.

This is how I add labels to the content panel (only first one shows):
Label lbl = new Label();
lbl.Text = "HI";
grpElement1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl);
Label lbl2 = new Label();
lbl2.Text = "HI2";
grpElement1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lbl2);

This is how I add radGroupElements to the groupElement (pushes contentPanel south):
RadLabelElement lbl = new RadLabelElement();
lbl.Text = "HI";
grpElement1.Items.Add(lbl);

I would really just like to add labels to the content panel since my theme has it looking nice... Can someone please give me a tip on how to fix this?
Thanks - Kerri

[Solved] row formatting

I am creating a gridview, columns and rows dynamically using .Rows.AddNew();. My problem is when I try to set a row enable to false I get a null ref when trying to set the .VisualElement.Enabled = false;. I think the property is null because the grid does not created the visualelement until run time (I think i read that somewhere). However, that seems to be the only way to set the enable property. If this is true, how can I set enable false for a row before the grid is rendered? I have tried using the RowFormatting event but it fires everytime the row has focus. The user needs to be able to change the stated of the property once the grid is rendered, but that calls the RowFormatting event and set it back to false. I only want to set the enable property when loading the grid or by firing event to enable it later.

Stephen.

Show Summary Row in Group Header

Hi,
my users have asked for the information I put in a summary row to be in the group header. i.e. they want to look at a grid which has column names and group headers and only see the summary information.
so they will only exand a group if they are interested in drilling down.
I have added a summary row at the top, which helps, but they still have to open a group to see them. If the grid is collapsed they only see the group by names.

thanks
mark
