Unit Testing Winforms UI

Hello

I'd like to be able to unit test (using NUNIT) my Telerik Winforms application. In the past, I have been able to use NUNITForms to do this, but as most of the controls are not derived from Windows Forms controls, I can't get it to work.

Do you know of any way of unit testing the UI of a Telerik Winfoms application please?
Many thanks

I have a RadPanelBar with Several GroupElements. I like the look and feel of the OutlookNavPane GroupStyle.

There are an indeterminate number of GroupElements. In the picture below(attached image1), 4 groups.

I would like to the RadPanelBar to look like this:(attached image2)

With just two groups showing, the rest minimized on the bar at the bottom. The User can achieve this y either dragging the dotted line down, or by using the Down Arrow at the bottom right, and choosing “Show Less Buttons”.

How can I do this programmatically, at Initialization time?

Also (onus Question), how do I style the top Caption bar? Is it Themable?

I am using 2009 Q3, SP1

[Solved] Is that possible to compare two column dynamically by ConditionalFormattingObject, or is there any way to do this?

Hi,
I want to compare two columns in a RadGrid and change the row color dynamically according to the result,
For example,
Column A : (DataTime) OrderDate
Column B : (DateTime) DueDate
if(OrderDate > DueDate) the row turns to yellow and the fore color of the cell turns to red,
I have tried to set the TValue1 and TValue2, but it seems only to accept specified value which can't be dynamically assgined.

Is there any way to do this or any wrong could you please point out for me?

Thanks for your reply,
Joy

[Solved] RadGridView (Hierarchy with OpenAccess)

Hello,

I am using OpenAccess and the Telerik Winform Controls for a new project.

I wanted to use the hierarchical-view of the RadGridView in Connection with an OpenAccess Object of type A that contains a collection of type B.

But it does not work because i don´t have any "ID Property" (or something else) to connect those types.

Is it possible to use the hierarchical-view if the only connection between parent and child is that the parent contains it´s childs?

Regards,
Johannes Atzmüller

Displaying tool window images correctly on tab strips

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;  
        
                            }  
        
                        }

Exceptions Binding

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

Reseting Combobox Datasource

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
