[Solved] Editing shipped themes and using them

I am building a VB.NET WinForms app and am using Telerik Controls for Winforms 2009 Q3. My users like the themes that ship with the controls with the exception of the fonts (which they want larger). My solution was to edit the themes (so they would be larger at design-time as opposed to updating them at runtime).

Here is what I did:

Download the source code
Update the font sizes (I just updated the font size of the Button, then changed the theme name to "TestAqua")
Compile the theme
Import the resulting dll into my app as a resource
Set its build type to be embedded
Build the app
Add a RadThemeManager to a form (for now, RadThemeManager1)
Add the theme to RadThemeManager1 (Change the location of the theme file, if needed)
Build the app again

Next I expected to do be able to set a RadButton's theme to TestAqua, but that theme was not available. Nor would it work by setting it in code. As I stepped through the code, I discovered that RadThemeManager1.InstalledThemeNames had a size of 1 (good), but that theme name was set to Nothing (that seems bad).

One of the reasons we got Telerik controls was that we thought this would be easy to do (and it still seems like it should be easy), so I'm hoping that I'm just not leaning in the right direction when I hit enter, or something. :-)

Thoughts?

Context Sensitive help

Hi,

I am planning to have .chm file in my application.

A help icon on every tab to say what each tab stands for.

Do you have a suggestion as to how i can implement it. Is there a novel way to do in Telerik. I havent found any reading matter on it yet. Will i have to do it the old fashioned windows way?

Thanks in advance.,

Using different color blends for different forms

Is there any way to use a theme with a color blend on just some forms (or for example just the Rad message box) without affecting all the other forms that are using the same theme? In other words, do we have to create separate themes if we want the colors to vary for different forms?

Custom Grid Sort with empty rows

I was wondering if there was a way to change the way the grid sort is handled? For example when the user clicks the header to sort and if one of the rows in the column is empty to not have it sort that row, but rather have anything with an empty row always come up last?

Binding to large data source

Hi,

I'm trying to create an interactive graph for a large data source.

When trying to bind the data source (list of Int) with about 50K data points, the application gets stuck on radChart1.DataBind();

What is the recommended way to display a graph (line chart) for such data?

Thanks,

Yoni

Chart (obsolete as of Q1 2013)

[Solved] Grid group header height

Hello,

Problem with programmaticly setting the height of the group header (q3 2009).

Is the ViewCellFormatting event the place for adjusting the group header height?

Trying things like:
if (e.CellElement.RowInfo is GridViewGroupRowInfo)
{
      int height = Convert.ToInt32(Mo.LetterType.Height);
      if (height > 10)
      {
                e.CellElement.RowInfo.Height = height + 10;
      }
      else
      {
          e.CellElement.RowInfo.Height = 20
       }
}

Anybody got a suggestion?

Kind regards,

Tim van Rooijen
