[Solved] Desert Theme Can not be applied on Vista

Hi,

On my desktop computer[Os = XP], When i open up a project and set the dll references, I can see "Desert Theme" for any Rad control when i click on Theme Name property in Visual Studio Designer.

But on my laptop[Os = Vista], I give reference to all telerik dll's, i drag and drop Desert Theme to my designer page, but i only can see "Control Default" and "Office2007Blue".

I couldnt figure out the problem, so i really appreciate if you can help me,

Thanks in advance.

MultiColumnComboBox contents stay on form after lost focus

I have a couple of MultiColumnComboBoxes on my form and find that when I load my form with data and set the combo value as required, if the value I set it with differs from the current selected value of the combo, then the combo opens up. This is not desired behaviour. I am setting the combo value using the .Text property, as I would with a standard combo. I have tried using other properties to set the value, but these do not actually set the value at all. Can you advise which property I should use to set the value?

Thanks

NodeCheckedChanged with AutoCheckChildNodes

I was wondering if there is a way to disable the NodeCheckedChanged event from being fired for all children nodes when AutoCheckChildNodes is set to true.

The reason why I want to know this is that I store an xml string inside the tag of each node. Every node is a possible record in a database. The xml being stored inside each node contains the information for the current node along with all its children nodes. When the user checks or unchecks a node, I need to give this xml to another component which in turns inserts or removes the proper information to/from the database. I know I could keep raising this event for every node and simply keep the info for the current node in the tag, but this could make for a lot of back and forth between components and the database while this way only one call is being made.

I was thinking of keeping a flag inside the NodeCheckedChanged event and checking this flag before processing like the following:

    
                    private void radTreeView1_NodeCheckedChanged(object sender, RadTreeViewEventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        if (!m_processing)  
        
                        {  
        
                            m_processing = true;  
        
                            // do work....  
        
                            m_processing = false;  
        
                        }  
        
                    }

but I noticed that the calls weren't nested and that it was actually doing all the code before moving on to the next child/sibling node.

Is there a workaround or another event I could use for this? I want to do the work only once and for the node that was actually checked/unchecked.

RadTextBox Focusable and ReadOnly not working in code

Hello,
I have the two following routines. They are both finding the control and the correct toggle state, however the .Focusable, .ReadOnly and .Focus on the RadTexBox are not changing. .Focusable, .ReadOnly display that they have changed, but .Focus does not.
Why is this?
Thanks.

Private Sub SRSOther_ToggleStateChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal args As Telerik.WinControls.UI.StateChangedEventArgs) Handles SRSOther.ToggleStateChanged

Dim txt As RadTextBox = Nothing

Dim ICon As System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection = PersonTabStrip.SuspectList.Item(CInt(SusNum)).Controls

For Each cont As Control In ICon

If cont.Name.StartsWith("SgrpSResident") Then 'get textbox from group controls

Dim theGrpBox As RadGroupBox = DirectCast(cont, RadGroupBox)

For Each Gctrl As Control In theGrpBox.Controls

If Gctrl.Name.StartsWith("SRSOtherTxt") Then

txt = DirectCast(Gctrl, RadTextBox)

MsgBox(txt.Name)

If args.ToggleState = Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.On Then

txt.Focusable = True

txt.ReadOnly = False

txt.Focus()

MsgBox(

"Toggle On, focusable=" & txt.Focusable & " readonly=" & txt.ReadOnly & " focused=" & txt.Focused)

ElseIf args.ToggleState = Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.Off Then

txt.Focusable = False

txt.ReadOnly = True

txt.Text = ""

MsgBox("Toggle Off")

End If

Exit For

End If

Private Sub SCatOther_ToggleStateChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal args As Telerik.WinControls.UI.StateChangedEventArgs) Handles SCatOther.ToggleStateChanged

Dim ICon As System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection = PersonTabStrip.SuspectList.Item(CInt(SusNum)).Controls

For Each cont As Control In ICon

If cont.Name.StartsWith("SCatOtherTxt") Then 'get textbox from group controls

MsgBox(cont.Name & " type=" & cont.GetType.ToString)

Dim txt As RadTextBox = DirectCast(cont, RadTextBox)

If args.ToggleState = Telerik.WinControls.Enumerations.ToggleState.On Then

txt.Focusable = True

txt.ReadOnly = False

txt.Focus()

MsgBox(

"Toggle On")

Else

txt.Focusable = False

txt.ReadOnly = True

txt.Text = ""

End If

Exit For

[Solved] Edit GridView Row

Hi,
I have a little problem. When I add columns into the GridView, I can't seem to be able to edit the rows after. The ReadOnly is at false and the AllowEditRow is at true. I don't understand why I can't edit the GridView rows.

Thank's

GridViewDataColumn col1 = new GridViewDataColumn("ID","ID");
GridViewDataColumn col2 = new GridViewDataColumn("name","name");
col1.DataType = typeof(int);
col2.DataType = typeof(string);
radGridView1.Columns.Add(col1);
radGridView1.Columns.Add(col2);

object[] row = new object [] {1, "John"}

radGridView1.Rows.Add(row);

radGridView1.ReadOnly = false;
radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AllowEditRow = true;

radComboBox.DataSource and radcomboBox.Items NOT matching

Anybody has come across a situation where the radComboBox.DataSource is not null and different from radComboBox.Items even after going through the regular databinding code for a radcombbox?
I was curious since I have just come across such a case. I am using latest Q3 version of Winforms RadControls.

I have found that the radComboBox.DataSource is not null but a generic List<> with a count of 4 elements and the radComboBox.Items collection is a count of 0 elements.
To me this seems strange and counter-intuitive.
