Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

I have seen some similar threads, but this is not the same issue (I don't believe it is).

I have 2 RadForms, one is a MDI parent and the other is a MDI child. As mentioned, these both inherit from a RadForm.
Everything (nearly everything) was working correctly until I decided that I wanted the child to be maximised when opened inside the MDI parent. I used this bit of code:

    
                Private Sub WorkCentreLogsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles WorkCentreLogsToolStripMenuItem.Click 
        
                    frmWorkCentreLog.MdiParent = Me 
        
                    frmWorkCentreLog.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized 
        
                    frmWorkCentreLog.Show() 
        
                End Sub

I should point out that inside my MDI parent, I use the windows ToolStrip and MenuStrip. The reason for this is that I prefer thier interface and how easily they are to add.
I removed both of these to see if it was them that were causing the issue I was having.

Now, the issue is this: When the child window is maximised, the parent form does not have any way of minimising or changing the window state of the child form. Nor does it display the title of the child window in the parent window's title bar (This is the same issue as others have had, but their solution was to use RadForm rather than ShapedForm. I have not used the ShapedForm at all).

If someone could help me identify the cause and solution to this, I would be greatful.

Chart not honoring Dock Fill or Anchoring

I have a UI that is fully resizable. I just noticed that the charts don't automatically resize with the container parent. Also, when I set dock fill or anchor to all sides and resize the container, the chart says the same. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Brian

[Solved] Schedular DataTypes

Dear friends,

Since yesterday that i am trying to bind my database with the radSchedular with no success. I have a very simple table with the fields 'Title','Description','StartDate','EndData'. I took a look at the examples but i cannot find the SchedularDataSet() type.

I would like to ask you for some help on how can i make a reference so that i can use the SchedularDataSet() type, and, if possible, can you give-me a very simple example?

Thanks in advance.

My table is named 'tasks':

idtask uniqueidentifier;

description nvarchar(50);

smallinfo nvarchar(15);

startdate datetime;

enddate datetime;

Form_Load is:

                    tarefasTableAdapter1.Fill(bdcrmDataSet.tarefas);
            AppointmentMappingInfo appointmentMappingInfo = new AppointmentMappingInfo();
            appointmentMappingInfo.Start = "startdate";
            appointmentMappingInfo.End = "enddate";
            appointmentMappingInfo.Summary = "smallinfo";
            appointmentMappingInfo.Description = "description";
            schedulerBindingDataSource1.EventProvider.Mapping = appointmentMappingInfo;
            radScheduler1.DataSource = schedulerBindingDataSource1;        

The code give-me no erros, however, the schedular is empty with no info loaded. I checkd the dataset and it has data inside.

Am i missing anything?

Thank you.

winforms examples on 64 bit vista

Hello. I'm brand new to Telerik controls so I hope I can keep stupid questions to a minimum.

I just installed newly purchased Telerik Controls Premium and am trying to run the example application on my Windows Vista Business 64 bit development laptop. I am receiveing the message "The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine." for examples that use the database.

I found this topic in the KB, but it is specific to the ASP controls.

Is there a solution for the Winforms examples?

Thanks for your help.

Grouping Issues

I have a RadGridView with an unbound Select column (checkbox). If I group by any field, I can select a checkbox to select the row and everything appears to work fine. If I then select another checkbox, all grouping collapses, and that record is not selected. I can then expand the grouping and select the record. This process then repeats for each record I select. I am using the latest version of the WinForms controls.

Thanks in advance,
Tony

Zooming Font and Size for Windows Forms Controls

Hi,

I wish to be able to simulate the standard browser Zoom feature in a Windows Forms application. I have a certain set of Telerik controls (RadLabel, RadTextBox etc) which I'd like to ;
1) Reset the font size (to allow the text to grow bigger)
2) Reset the control.Size (to allow for the larger font size).

All the controls I want to do this for are within some kind of TableLayout container, so I think the repositioning should occur automatically using a SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout

Typically to do this I would iterate through the hierarchy of controls, resizing and re-fonting as I go. However I wondered if there was a "better" way to do this, perhaps using Themes or Styles within Telerik which would give a better solution.

I am using telerik dll file version 8.2.0.0 and the datasource I am assigning is linq collection.

Cannot interptet token ']' at position 26 and Filtering rows

Hello.

I have filtering rows enabled in the radgridview. When I enter the apostrophe (') the application throws a SyntaxErrorException unhandeled. I did not include an example because the only thing you need is a grid with filtering enabled to reproduce the error (no need to bind any datasource). Is there a solution (I need also filtering by the apostrophe)?

p.s. I have the q2 2009 version of RadControls

Best regards,
Sandi
