Hi

I am using version 2009.3 1203 of the WinForms Rad controls and when setting the SelectedIndex property of the MultiColumnComboBox control (after is data bound) to -1, I was expecting the combobox selected item to be empty...but it is not, the first one is shown always.

Here is my code:

    
                        var results = from company in Collections.CompaniesList  
        
                                      select new  
        
                                      {  
        
                                          company.Name,  
        
                                          company.City,  
        
                                          company.TaxNumber  
        
                                      };  
        
                        cbCompanies.DisplayMember = "Name";  
        
                        cbCompanies.ValueMember = "ID";  
        
                        cbCompanies.DataSource = results.ToList();  
        
                        cbCompanies.SelectedIndex = -1;

Any clues why this is happening?

Set/change chart`s culture info (number format)

Hello,
where can I set/change culture info on chart? I would like to have properly formatted numbers for different languages/regions selected:
When CultureInfo is set to "sl-SI" separating characters should be '.' for group and ',' for decimal (number format example: 123.345.678,00) and if selected CultureInfo is "en-GB" separating characters should be ',' for group and '.' for decimal (number format example: 123,345,678.00)

Thanks,
Uros Mally

Dont theme / Skin a particular control

Hi,

I am using the ThemeResolutionService to skin my app, however I do not wish to skin a particular RadPanel... However the TRS is automatically skinning it along with all other controls..

How can I stop this from occuring so that my custom border and background colors are maintained and not skinned over?

Thanks,

Autocomplete combined with fulltext search

Hi!

I'm trying to realize some kind of article search in form of a text- or combobox. When the user enters some text, the autocompletion should perform a fulltext search for any matching article.

The actual autocompletion only works like the string.StartsWith(...) function but I'd like to have something like the string.Contains(...) function.

I tried to ralize it with a combobox that changes its ItemCollection on the TextChanged event:

    
            private
 
 void radComboBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
            
{

                var query = from s in _autoComplete.Keys  
        
                        where s.Contains(radComboBox1.Text)  
        
                        select s;  
        
                radComboBox1.BeginUpdate();  
        
                radComboBox1.Items.Clear();  
        
                foreach (string art in query.ToArray())  
        
                {  
        
                    radComboBox1.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem() { Text = art, Tag = _autoComplete[art] });  
        
                }  
        
                radComboBox1.EndUpdate();  
        
                radComboBox1.ShowDropDown(); 

            }

This work to the point where the user uses the arrow keys to navigate through the autocomplete list. This leads to an update and only one remaining option in the autocomplete list.

Any suggestions? Is there a property for the autocomplete functionality I don't know?

kind regards,
Thomy

Cell formatting on a new line

I want to highlight error columns on an add just like I do on edit. However, the cell formatting event never appears to point to columns on that line. Is it possible to format columns in a new row?

Best Fit with Grouping

When I Use BestFit on a grouped grid that has only few columns, the columns get resized to fit the header (since no contents are visible after databind due to the grouping).
However, when Grouping is enabled, the group header/summary should be shown in full if there is enough space.
What can I do to ensure that the coulms are resized wide enough to ensure that the group headers are fully visible.

Regards
Erwin
