Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

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.

Need to create custom browser toolbar

I've been tasked with creating a series of toolbars for our employee-base (we're a medical facility with 25 medical practices)...They would be deployed on our intranet, integrated into Internet Explorer 6+ and 7+...Basically the toolbars would link users to various web services (online forms, RSS feeds, databases, relevant external URLs, etc etc)...

Is this possible via the WinForms product?

Thanks!

[Solved] RadCheckBoxElement.IsCheckedChanged does not fire in response to UI

Bug report: On my subclass of RadCheckBoxElement, IsCheckChanged fires when IsCheck is set programatically, but does not fire if the checkbox state is changed by the UI. The workaround is to register for ToggleStateChanged, which fires in both cases. Please let me know if there is a more suitable place for me to post bug reports.

Setting up Tabbed childgrid

Hi there, I'm trying to create a hierarchal radgridview. I do all the steps mentionned in the documentation and it works fine when it comes to showing the childgridview. However, I want to use different tabs to show different information but I can't find where to create the tabs ?

Also, now when I try to open the property builder, it makes VS2008 crash all the time. I'm kinda stuck...

thanks!

Nested WinForms open in RadDocument Host Window

Hi there,

I am using Rad dock in my application to open existing winforms using below code. On click of RadMenuButtonItem an existing WinForm opens in a NewDocument(HostWindow).

objForm=

New Form
Dim hostWindow As HostWindow = RadDock1.DockControl(objForm, DockPosition.Right)

objForm.Dock = DockStyle.None

hostWindow.AutoScroll =

True

RadDock1.AddDocument((hostWindow), DockPosition.Fill)

hostWindow.ScrollControlIntoView(hostWindow)

objForm.Show()

This works fine.
Now the form opened in the host window has a button, on click of that button again an existing form should open in a new RadDocument Host Window. In the button click event i am creating an object of that form and just calling Obj.Show() which opens the form normally. Can anyone please assist how can i open the second form in Host Window aswell.

Thanks

[Solved] Tab order

Hello,

Having some trouble with the tabcontrol.

I want to remember tab visibility and order. When the user closes the form I save the visible tabitems in a List<string> .

When the form gets loaded I would like to restore the tabs.

I can control the visibility of the tabs but I can’t find a way to restore the order.

Anybody got a suggestion?

Kind regards,

Tim van Rooijen

Startup performance

I just started up an application with a RibbonBar and was suprised that it took about 15 seconds to load.

Are there known load time issues or general suggestions for performance?
