I have been attempting to work around a known issue and limitation of the RadDock control when displaying images assigned to tool windows on tab strips. My understanding, please correct me if this is not the case, is that images assigned to tool windows are rotated by 180 degrees when shown on a tab strip and are not shown at all when in auto hide mode.
In the application I am writing I am attempting to produce a user interface similar to that of visual studio. I am therefore looking to show the image of my tool windows followed by there names whenever they are shown on tab strips. I have contacted Telerik support who provided me with the basis for the below code. The code shown is my implementation of an event handler for the TransactionCommitted event of a RadDock control which I believe achieves my goal.
I was wondering if others have come across this problem and how they went about solving it.
Note: The event handler will need to be added to the RadDock control before adding any tool windows. If your adding tool windows before your event handlers you will need to rotate the images of your tool windows by 180 degrees.
| private void TransactionCommitted(object sender, RadDockTransactionEventArgs e) |
| { |
| foreach (DockWindow window in e.Transaction.AssociatedWindows) |
| { |
| if ((e.Transaction.TransactionType == DockTransactionType.AutoHide) && (e.Transaction.TargetState == DockState.AutoHide)) |
| { |
| PropertyInfo propInfo = typeof(ToolWindow).GetProperty("AutoHideTab", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic); |
| TabStripItem tabStripItem = (TabStripItem)propInfo.GetValue((ToolWindow)window, null); |
| tabStripItem.Image = window.Image; |
| foreach (TabStripItem item in tabStripItem.ParentTabStrip.Items) |
| { |
| switch (((AutoHideTransaction)e.Transaction).Position) |
| { |
| case AutoHidePosition.Right: |
| case AutoHidePosition.Top: |
| item.ImagePrimitive.AngleTransform = 180; |
| item.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.TextBeforeImage; |
| break; |
| default: |
| item.ImagePrimitive.AngleTransform = 0; |
| item.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText; |
| break; |
| } |
| } |
| } |
| else if ((e.Transaction.TargetState == DockState.Docked) || (e.Transaction.TargetState == DockState.Floating)) |
| { |
| ((ToolWindow)window).TabStripItem.ImagePrimitive.AngleTransform = 180; |
| } |
| } |
| } |

Hello,
Several months ago I had problems with recurring events where someone changed a specific occurance, thus causing an exception to be generated. It was explained to me that there were problems with Exception binding, but these were supposedly fixed in Q3 2009. I've now installed this new Telerik Version, and I've attempted to set the appointmentMappingInfo appropriately, but I still cannot get the databinding for exceptions to work correctly. In addition, I have not gotten several other columns to save to SQL, such as MasterEventId, Duration, and a few others. After looking through the documentation, I feel that nowhere is it explicitly stated what the datatypes for these columns must be, and the proper method to ensure databinding for ALL data points around appointments, especially the Exceptions field. At this point I am pretty lost about how I can get these things taken care of. Can I get some help here?
Thanks!
Jeremy

I have added a combobox column that is based on a user selection. The first time through the column appears and works correctly. The second time through the combobox column is already within my grid so I don't have to create it again but I need to know how to change it's source when a users changes a different combobox within my form. Do I have to remove the added column and re add it?
Thank You

How would I implement the RadContol Spy that allows the user to add custom summary items like in the demo.
When I try to view my code it just takes me to the code behind vb page.

How do I create a summary item to do a custom calc?
I need to calc PV so I need the ((SUM(Sales)-SUM(Costs))/SUM(Sales)) done in a summary item.
How would I do that in VB?

I would like to make a request regarding the ribbon bar.
I have been playing with the Office 2010 beta and besides the background "file" tab , I absolutely do NOT like the Ribbon bar. It looks like I imagine the Ribbon would have looked while it was still in development , a bland strip of grey with buttons and labels on top.
It looks like the Telerik control would look if it had no border or fill primitives - Ie : flat boring and bland.
Now I know Telerik always moves forward with the new trends but please , should you implement the new office 2010 ribbon style , please allow us to be able to select between the 2010 and 2007 styles .
Even the background "File" tab which is really useful for huge nested config windows like print etc , they are only useful for that .
For simple application menus on simple apps the old office button style is far more efficient and certainly far less intrusive.
Moaning mostly at Microsoft here , but also pleading to the Telerik team for consideration to the future of the Telerik ribbon control development.

Hi,
Using Q3 2009 SP1 version of your control. I would like to add a screen tip to a multi-column combo box . I would howver like to customize the contents of the screen tip and I am not able to add or remove elements in the designer. I am wondering if I'm 'doing it wrong'.
Additionally could you point me to some documentation that outlines how to do this.

Is there anyway that the animate speed of a toolwindow can be altered?
Right now, out of the box, the hide/show is pretty fast.
Some users have been "surprised" (their words) when they saw a demo of our app and were clicking/hovering around.
I believe there is a timer behnd the scenes but it might be inaccessable.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Setting the Tool Tip Text property for a Tool Window seems to do nothing.. I was expecting a Tool Tip to appear when I hover over the controls title area. Is there a problem with this feature?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi,
I don't know if this is possible with the current control set, but I would like to be able to handle items being dragged onto my treeview in a much more robust manner than currently. Basically, if I drag something onto a tree, I'd like to be able to see the positioning lines and node highlighting that you get if you're dragging a node from one tree to another. I currently have a radGridView and a Listbox that I want to be able to drag from into the tree view.
I've read in a few posts that Telerik was working on a framework for dragging between controls? Is this complete or still planned? If it is where might I find information about it?
If it's yet to be developed, I just need a pointer on how to handle the entry of the mouse into the treeview control in order to get it to think it's getting a node from another tree. If I convert the data in the drag event into a radtreenode perhaps..?
A second question I'd like to know is how to make my cursor look like the treeview's node-dragging cursor?!
