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.

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

How to control scrolling

Hi,

I need to show many lines of text, so sometime there will be a scrollbar when needed.

The control is read-only.

I need to control about the scrolling:

1) Graphic image (and size) of the scroll-bar, up arrow and down arrow

2) delay and speed of repeated scrolling when the user mouse-clicks the up-arrow or down-arrow

3) speed of movement of the scroll-bar when the user moves it with the mouse.

Do you provide this functionality?

If yes, how to write this?

If no, can you suggest an alternative?

Thank you!

[Solved] Bind to GridView from data access layer

I have a data access layer component that returns typed dataset. It seems that simply setting the datasource property of the GridView doesn't work.

How do i bind a GridView to the returned dataset? do i have to define the grid's columns in advance and perform the binding?
by the way, I'm using the latest version evaluation copy.

Thanks in advance,

Sharon.

RadMenu Bug on DesignTime

Since I have updated my computer to the last release of Telerik WinForms Package, I noticed the folowing behavior:

in my project, I have an ancestor form that contains a RadMenu with a lot o Items. When I try to create a new one that inherits it, the Visual Studio IDE raises an exception at design time.This exception is a little diferent, because it's displayed in a modal window. No problems at runtime.

Previously (on previous versions), this problem didn't exists.

Do any of you know a workaround solution for this? At this moment, the only way that I have found is to replace it by a menuStrip.

Thank you
