[Solved] Creating Charts in the Background

Hello,

I am working on a windows service that can generate Charts as png files and then email them to recipients. I would like to leverage RadChart for this. I've already gotten my charts nice and pretty in my fat client, but now I want to do the same thing in the windows service. Is this possible? The data is available to the windows service, so hopefully it's just a matter of instantiating the radChart object, setting the parameters, binding to the dataset, and then calling the export function.

Thanks!

Jeremy

[Solved] MultiColumnComboBox SelectIndex problem

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,

[Solved] 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?
