I would like to add a button, maybe two, to the GroupHeader of a RadGroupBox, I've tried the following, however the button is not the correct size, it looks like it's being rendered at one pixel wide:

public class TestGroupBox : RadGroupBox
{
private StackLayoutPanel m_objStackLayoutPanel = new StackLayoutPanel ();
private RadButtonElement m_objButton = new RadButtonElement();

    protected override void CreateChildItems( RadElement parent )
    {
        base.CreateChildItems( parent );

m_objStackLayoutPanel.Orientation = System.Windows.Forms.Orientation.Horizontal;

        ImageAndTextLayoutPanel panel = this.GroupBoxElement.Header.Children[2] as ImageAndTextLayoutPanel;
        this.GroupBoxElement.Header.Children.RemoveAt( 2 );
        this.GroupBoxElement.Header.Children.Add( m_objStackLayoutPanel );

        m_objStackLayoutPanel.Children.Add( m_objButton );
        m_objButton.Size = new System.Drawing.Size( 16, 16 );
        m_objStackLayoutPanel.Children.Add( panel );
    }
}

How to bind a picture to a column?

Hello,

I was trying to use the radgrid and I have 2 columns. One column has the names of files (example, test.docx, Instructions.pdf) and the other column I want to use to display the icons for these different extensions (example, display a word icon for word documents and so on). I am currently using a binding source to bring back the filenames for the first column and the second column is blank.

How do I set the picture in that column through code? I do not need the logic to display the correct icon, I just can't figure out how to populate the column with my own information.

Thanks,

[Solved] Drag & Drop on grouped GridView

Dear,

I have a question regarding drag & drop on a grouped GridView.
The drag & drop functionality (drag & drop between two GridViews) works but now I want to drag on the header of a group.
I need to get the ID or text of the header group.

    
            private void gridAssigned_DragDrop( object sender, DragEventArgs e ) { 
        
                        if ( e.Data.GetDataPresent( typeof( GridViewDataRowInfo ) ) ) { 
        
                            // dropped on which group? 
        
                            // need ID or text... 
        
                            GridViewRowInfo droppedDriver = GetRowAtPoint( gridAssigned, gridAssigned.PointToClient( new Point( e.X, e.Y ) ) ); 
        
                            // row I'm dragging 
        
                            GridViewDataRowInfo draggedInfo = ( GridViewDataRowInfo )e.Data.GetData( typeof( GridViewDataRowInfo ) ); 
        
                        } 
        
                    } 
        
            private GridViewRowInfo GetRowAtPoint( RadGridView grid, Point location ) { 
        
                        RadElement element = grid.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint( location ); 
        
                        // headercells are for grouping 
        
                        if ( element is GridHeaderCellElement ) { return null; } 
        
                        if ( element is GridCellElement ) { return (( GridRowElement )element).RowInfo; } 
        
                        return null; 
        
                    }

Thanks in advance!

Nonstandard Row Height and Grouping Panel Drawing

When I set the grid to smaller Row Size like that:

    
            grid.GridElement.RowHeight = (int)Math.Floor(this.GridElement.RowHeight * 0.9); 
        
            grid.GridElement.TableHeaderHeight = (int)Math.Floor(this.GridElement.TableHeaderHeight * 0.95);

The dynamic sizing of the Grouping Panel does not seem to function correctly anymore. The grouped Headers are not drawn properly and the x mark is barely visible anymore.

What's the correct way to make data rows a little smaller, but retain the functionality of the grouping panel?
Regards

Erwin

[Solved] Items of RadMenu are shown incorrectly

Hi, I'm experiencing a problem of RadMenu item display.

As shown in the attachment PNG, menu items are clipped on the right. This artifact can be observed in other cases, like a drop-down menu shown in a ribbon component, for example.

I also have prepared a sample project, which is absurdly simple but shows the problem on my PC. Please refer to "http://www.softgate.jp/directdl/MenuTest.zip".

For you information, I am using Japanese VS 2008 SP1 on Japanese Vista x64 Ultimate.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit:
I noticed that I was just placing RadMenuButtonItem instead of RadMenuItem. Sorry for bothering you.

radGridView column headertext not localizing?

Hi,

When localizing our application everything localizes fine, except for the HeaderText on columns in all the gridviews in our application...?

All columns are designed at designtime using the property editor and localization is preformed runtime by:
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(SomeLCID);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = ci;

All other standard controls is going well...just not the header text on the gridview columns... any clues or hints on why the grids wont localize? Or anything i can try to find out more about the problem?

We use:
Visual Studio 2008
Telerik WinForms controls, v. 2009.1.9.414 (v2.0.50727)

Thanks in advance!

AutoResizeColumns support?

Hi all.

I'm new to Telerik WinForms which I'm using to produce a quick prototype. I'm looking for a simple way to populate a GridView but haven't found a simple way to adjust the columns. Initially I've tried to use the Property Builder to adjust the size of each column but then I can't assign a DataTable to the DataSource (which I understand is the preferred way of adding data to a grid) without adding new columns to the grid.

Then I stumbled upon AutoResizeColumns which seems to offer an alternative that would work but it doesn't look like RadGridView support this. If so, how do I add data to the grid without setting each column size in code?

Regards, Jon
