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

[Solved] 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;

                } 
        
            }

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.

Text versus SelectedValue

Hi,
Can you explain the correct usage of the RadMultiColumnComboBox SelectedValue and Text properties. It seems that they are not always in sync. For example when the DataSource is set, the SelectedIndex == 0, SelectedValue == value of Item[0], but the Text property == "".

I'm trying to determine when I should (or could) use the Text property. If I use it to "set" the Text property does the SelectedIndex/Item/Value also get set?

What event causes the Text property to be set? Is it after an event is finished?

Thanks,
Mike

RadScheduler Navigation Calendar Not Working

Hello,

I've used the Rad Scheduler for a while now the navigation popup calendar is not causing the date of the scheduler to change. I believe this began shortly after changing to the 2009Q3 release.

Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.

Key Points:
1. Data Binding: The data is bound to the scheduler on the server side code where data is retrieved from the database and looped through to create a list<appointment> of appointment objects.
2. Navigation Arrows: These were not working either, but after we made the setting of the startdate, enddate, and timezone offset be in an If(!IsPostback) block, the arrows now work (not the calendar)
3. The control has been placed on a page with no other controls and the problem persists

Below is the client code:

    
            <pro:RadAjaxManager ID="RadAjaxManager1" EnableAJAX="true" runat="server" OnAjaxRequest="RadAjaxManager1_AjaxRequest">

serious issue radform com visibility

hi,

i am opening google maps in a browser control in radform. for this i need to to set com visibilty to true to communicate with javascript in locally hosted web page.

my code :

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

using System.Security.Permissions;

// Make COM Visible to communication with other App

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]

// Set Security Level to Full Trust inorder to enable external Javascript function invokes and data passing

[PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Demand, Name = "FullTrust")]

works perfect in simple .net forms

but gives error in rad form....

error:

A QueryInterface call was made requesting the default IDispatch interface of COM visible managed class 'TcpMappingServer.LivePlayAVL'. However since this class does not have an explicit default interface and derives from non COM visible class 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm', the QueryInterface call will fail. This is done to prevent the non COM visible base class from being constrained by the COM versioning rules.

Anysolution Please, ineed it quickly, if radform wont work will the shaped form work...

or any other solution with radform.

thanks in advance!!!
