Need 2 tabs to move from first text box to second

I have a log in form with a user name Radtextbox, Password Radtext box , OK Radbutton and Cancel Radbutton controls. No matter what I do, it's taking me 2 tabs to move from the user name to the Password, but only 1 tab to move after that. I tried changing the tab indexes and even if the numbers are 1 apart, I still need two tabs. I tried changing the AcceptsTab and AcceptsReturn properties. It didn't make a difference. What am I missing?

Vertical scrollbar inside a cell

Is there a way to add a vertical scrollbar inside a grid cell that responds as you would expect, by scrolling the textual contents of a cell?
Thanks for your time

I can't install WinForms Rad controls Free Edition

Hi! When I'm running the installation package (around 150 MB downloaded from the telerik website) it's giving me some very general message (screenshot) which is saying Install Error - Process have ended unexpectedly and that's it.
I don't know - maybe it has something to do with me having the trial of telerik controls already installed ?
Cheers,
Tom

[Solved] Open new form in toolwindows

Im new to winforms and I created a ribbon form and another form1.vb that has a grid on it. So I created a button on the ribbon and I have setup some docking toolwindows and now I want to load this Form1.vb into toolwindow2 when a user click the button. Looking at the code for the BugTracker it seems there is some type of view that is created on all the sub forms. (IE my form1) so do I need to create this formview so I can load it into this window?

This is what I came up with thus far from looking at the bugtracker, and if i take out the Controls.add I do get another tab added where toolswindows2 is at. but how do i make it load form1 in it now.

    
                Private Sub RadLabelElement1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadLabelElement1.Click  
        
                    Dim toolWindow As New ToolWindow("Unassigned Bugs")  
        
                    toolWindow.Controls.Add(Form1)  
        
                    toolWindow.CloseAction = DockWindowCloseAction.CloseAndDispose  
        
                    'by default the close action for tool windows is Hide    
        
                    'but we whant the instance of this pane to be disposed, so set the action to Close   
        
                    RadDock1.DockWindow(toolWindow, Me.ToolWindow2, DockPosition.Fill)  
        
                End Sub

Bind to LINQ "Select New"

I am experimenting to write a generic data browser for WCF data services.

When binding to a query result created using "select new" RadGridView does not display any data:

Dim q = From o In svc.Orders Select o 'This query displays data

Dim q = From o In svc.Orders Select New With {o.OrderDate} 'This query does not display data

RadGridView1.DataSource = q.ToList

How can I use autogenerated columns with "Select New"?
Can the RadGridView automatically diplay hierarchical data from LINQ queries?
Ex: from c in Customers select new with {CustomerId, c.Orders}

Gridview Filtering Errors

Hi there,

I have bounded the radgridview with the datatable which is resulting all okay. but the time I go on filtering the records according to any criteria passing as a parameter on top of the column filter box. it throws two different errors:

1) Index -1 is either negative or above rows count. (there are records into the grid)

and also sometimes throws as:

2) Exception has thrown by the target of invocation.

I haven't added any filtering code from myself as it's an inbuilt feature.

Please assist me with this ASAP. I need to fix this error.

Cheers,
Munsh

Retrieve Cell Font

How can I get the font object used in the gridview cells? The "Font" property of the gridview is not it -- it returns a different font than the one cell's text are drawn with.

Edit: I do know how to get the font in painting/formatting events, but that's not what I want. I want to be able to get it ahead of time (i. e., in the form "load" event) before anything is displayed to the user.

Thanks,
-DevJ
