Runtime Error with LoadFromXML

Hi,

I'm using Q2 2009 SP1. When I call RadDock.SaveToXml(), and try and reload using RadDock.LoadFromXML() I get a reflection runtime error ; "No parameterless constructor defined for this object.".

For info, my XML file is shown here

    
              <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

[Solved] How to bind multiple column RadChart

Hello,

Please refer uploaded images. SampleData is the datatable which I am binding with the control. TelerikReport.jpg is shows my program result(for which I have doubt). CrystalReport.jpg displays my needed result(I have made this chart using crystal report).

Now, let me describe my doubt. I want to display category on x-axis and incidents on y-axis. I want to display multiple category on x-axis with different colors and its incidents on y-axis(want grouping of category on x-axis and want to display incidents on y-axis same like crystalreport.jpg).

See my code,

    
            RadChart1.DataSource = dt  
        
            RadChart1.DataGroupColumn = "Month" 
        
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.DataLabelsColumn = "Category" 
        
            RadChart1.DataBind()

I think I am missing something in code. Please guide me.

Control Highlighting Problem

Hi

I have a simple application based on a RadForm, and have not set any custom themes or anything. I've just noticed a problem where if you move your mouse over any control in the form, that control will highlight correctly as the mouse moves over it, but as soon as the mouse leaves the control, the control stays highlighted. Same problem goes for the RadForm title where I move my mouse over the minimize, maximize and close buttons. After I rebooted my machine, the problem went away.

What could be causing this. I've already had this reported at one of my customer installation. I think it starts happening after the PC has been running for a while and the only way I've seen to stop the problem is to reboot :(

I'm using Q12009 software.

thanks

The helpbutton keeps moving about 50-100 pixels to the left when not using Aero or when resizing the form.

Sort on hidden column

I have searched your forum and documentation and simply cannot find a complete answer to this common grid action.

Can I please have an example of how to allow the user to click on a column header to sort, but actually sort on a hidden column. I would also like to maintain the sort-arrow glyphs on the visible (dummy) column.

I use VB.NET with VS2008.

PS: I love your controls but really request more sample code to common solutions.

Horizontal scrolling in gridview

Is it possible to enable horizontal scrolling in the grid? I can't see an option to do this.

For example if I have a large number of columns I'd like the horizontal scrollbar to be displayed as opposed to all the columns being squashed to fit.

I've been looking for an AllowScroll as found here: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/scrolling/defaultcs.aspx but as yet I'm still unsure how to do this with the winforms grid.

Thanks

M.

Saving entire form layout

I've been trying to find a (clean) way to save my form's layout -- including the window size, the RadDock layout, and the layout of each grid within each RadDock section (there are 4). So far the only way I've been able to do this requires 6 files.

1 file for the window size/location
1 file created by radDock.SaveToXml()
4 files created by each gridView.SaveLayout()

I tried combining these, but have been unable to make SaveToXml() to play nice as a section of an XML file.

I've also tried serializing the whole form (stack overflow); also tried serializing just the radDock (but then I lose all the data in the grids when I load) -- the latter doesn't save window location/size anyway.

Is there an easy way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, or do I need to become an XML/serialization grand-master?

Thanks,
Baris

MDI child form visibility

Hi,
We have a Winforms MDI application which has some toolbars shown in the MDI container form. We need to do the following -
1. Ability to dock these toolbars to any edge of the MDI container form and also to float the toolbar.
2. Ability to Auto hide the docked toolbars
3. The MDI child forms should be shown and behave normally as they would appear in the MDI container form. We don't want to restrict the display of MDI child forms as tab pages.

Can we use RadDock docking library for these tasks?

Thanks.
