Non-transparence of a RadApplicationMenu in Windows 7

I've placed a RadApplicationMenu control to the form, and set a backcolor property to the transparent. After that, when i run an application, the round button of RadApplication doesn't have a transparent backcolor. So there is a white box around the round button

I have a VB.NET solution and use VS 2008 on Windows 7.

Installed RadControls for WinForms Q3 2009 SP1.

Thank you for help.

Gridview Group By

Hello hopefully someone can help me. I'm looking to do a group by on the gridview control, but I don't want it user expandable. I want it to already be expanded not allowing the user for collapse and look like the file attached. Does anyone know how to control this with the Telerik GridView?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to customize displaying subject of an appointment on scheduler

The current display format for an appointment on scheduler is appointment time and appointment subject, eg:
10:00 am - 10:30 am test

How can we make it display what we want to disaplay when customizing EditAppointmentDialog

We have customizing EditAppointmentDialog implmenting IEditAppointment Interface
We have also implment a customized appointment inheriting Appointment. the customized appoinment has a field and property MySubjectValue. We want to display MySubjectValue of the customerized appointment : eg

If it is "Test Value", we want to dispay "Test Value" instead of " 10:00 am - 10:30 Test Value"

We tried to do it in AppointmentFormatting event of radscheduler but it was not sucessful so. It makes all the display value of all appointments the same.

Question about WeeklyRecurrenceRule

We want to use WeeklyRecurrenceRule to associate with an appointment.

Can we associate more than one days with the rule of one appointment. Eg: the same schedule 10:00 am - 10:30 am happens both on Wednesday and Friday ?

Or we we have to create two appointments, one associated with weeklyrecurrencerule of wednesday and another associated wtih weeklyrecurrencerule of Friday to get this done?

Do you have something like DaysOfWeekMask of your WPF for Win Control Scheduler also?

Office 2007 icons?

Hi,

I've search around but I can't find the answer to this one. Is there any package with office icons included in your components that you can use when designing windows applications? I looked at your themes but I could not find any icons in them?

Thanks
Thomas

RadControls crash when html font has ampersand in title.

Hi,

I’ve been using HTML text formatting for some of theRadControls. I noticed that a RadControl will crash if the HTML font has anampersand in the tile. For example, the following HTML will crash a RadControl:

<html><span style="font-family: the king& queen font; font-size: 20pt">Add TextHere</span></html>

The above HTML was created using the RadMarkupDialog, andassumes you have the following installed font:

http://www.audiolabel.com/artopia/king-and-queen.zip

I also noticed that a RadControl will crash if the HTML fontis missing from the user’s computer. This behavior is different than if you setthe font through the RadControl Font property. When setting the Font property,a missing font will be automatically replaced with a default system font.

Shouldn't a missing font be automatically replaced whensetting the font through HTML? I can see this being very important when yourTelerik program is installed on different computers.

I'm using the latest Telerik build - 2009.3.1203

Thanks for your help,

Tim

Source Code: Make RadComboBox act like WinForms ComboBox when Style is DropDownList

I'm posting a source code solution to force the RadComboBox to act like a Windows Forms ComboBox when the DropDownStyle is DropDownList. This is common functionality that has been missing for far too long. This works with 2009 Q2 SP1. The code I'm supplying is a wrapper class.

    
            using System; 
        
            using System.Collections.Generic; 
        
            using System.Linq; 
        
            using Telerik.WinControls;

                            } 
        
                            if (_cache[_lastChar].Count > 0)

            }

Note: I'm using LINQ to build the cache lists so this requires .net 3.5. This can be changed to work with .net 2.0 by replacing the LINQ query with a custom "Get entries starting with 'X'" type of function that iterates through the collection.

Note 2: Updated code to deal with list items changing.

I'm also assuming that you're using this code with a databound combo box where the bound items are not changing. If they are subject to change, make sure that you

I hope this helps out anyone with the same issue.

Removing Times

Hello,

Is there a way to remove time slots entirely from the day view. I don't want to see the slots whether they are blank or filled. For instance I don't want to display times from 8am - 12pm time on my day view whether there is an appointment or not.

Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
