RibbonBar with RadTextBoxElement - multiline problem

Hi everyone!

I need to add a multiline TextBox to the RibbonBar. I used that code in the desingercode (short version ;) )

    
            private InitializeComponent() 
        
            { 
        
            //(...) 
        
            this.radTextBoxElement = new RadTextBoxElement(); 
        
            //(...) 
        
            // radRibbonBarGroupMessageText 
        
            //  
        
            this.radRibbonBarGroupMessageText.Items.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.RadItem[] {this.radTextBoxElement}); 
        
            this.radRibbonBarGroupMessageText.Name = "radRibbonBarGroupMessageText"; 
        
            this.radRibbonBarGroupMessageText.Orientation = System.Windows.Forms.Orientation.Horizontal; 
        
            this.radRibbonBarGroupMessageText.Text = "Treść"; 
        
            // 
        
            //(...) 
        
            // 
        
            } 
        
            RadTextBoxElement radTextBoxElement;

then, using the designer I heve set the properties of this TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem : multiline to true, and the null text to proper info and AcceptReturn = true;

When I run my application, I see the null text, but I can start a new line with enter key and even when I put a lot of text (reach right edge) text doesn,t break to new line... Can someone help me fix that? I will be greatfull.

Texbox with different disabled style

Hi,

while some of your controls have a "UseDefaultDisabledPaint" property I can't find this on RadTextBox.

My need:
I hav a data entry application.
Left I have a list of items - and on the right the details of it.
The user can edit the details by pressing a button which enables the controls (textboxes and so on).

For better visibility it would be great to have a special style on disalbed Textboxes.

By the way - the only reason to use RadTextBox instead of Forms.Textbox is the idea to use styles for better visiblity.
Because I see no other reason -- it's more oposite! With Forms.Textbox SHIFT-TAB works!!

So is there a way to change the disabled style?
Even having BLACK as ForeColor would be enough!

Regards

Manfred

Nested DockingManagers

I have a docking manager on the main form. I have a docking manager in each dynamically generated document pane. How can I restrict docking of panels in the document pane to the docking manager of the same document pane? I don't want the user to be able to drag dockables from one docking manager to another...

Refresh radGridView

Hi All,

I have a radGridView that is populated via a TableAdapter:

    
            buUserTableAdapter buUserTA = new buUserTableAdapter();  
        
            protected BindingSource buUserBindingSource = new BindingSource();  
        
            buUserBindingSource.DataSource = buUserTA.GetData();  
        
            this.radGvAdminUsers.DataSource = buUserBindingSource;

The radGridView is read only, however, I have a "detail" section below the radGridView where users can edit the contents of the records. The database is updated upon clicking a "save" button via a stored procedure of the TableAdapter:

    
            private void radBtnAdminSaveUser_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        
            {  
        
                int userId = Convert.ToInt32(lblAdminUserDBID.Text);  
        
                string userLogin = this.radTxtAdminLoginId.Text.ToUpper();  
        
                string lastName = this.radTxtAdminLastName.Text;  
        
                string firstName = this.radTxtAdminFirstName.Text;  
        
                string userPhone = this.radMTxtAdminPhone.Value.ToString().Trim();  
        
                int userRole = Convert.ToInt32(this.radComboAdminRole.SelectedValue);  
        
                string userRoleDesc = radComboAdminRole.Text;  
        
                bool userActive = Convert.ToBoolean(this.radCbAdminUserIsActive.Checked);  
        
                if (userId != 0)  
        
                {  
        
                    buUserTA.UpdateSP(userId, userLogin, lastName, firstName, userPhone, userRole, userActive, System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserNetworkId"].ToString());  
        
                }  
        
                else 
        
                {  
        
                    //Need to do an insert for a new user and update for the new id  
        
                    userId = Convert.ToInt32(buUserTA.InsertSP(userLogin, lastName, firstName, userPhone, userRole, System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UserNetworkId"].ToString()));  
        
                }  
        
            }

When this is clicked, the database is properly updated, however, the radGridView does not refresh to reflect the changes.

From what I've read, it seems like the radGridView is supposed to automatically updated. What am I missing or doing wrong? Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Do not allow user to select item

Hello,

I would like to not allow the user to select an item in my radListBox. I have set the selection mode to none, but this still places a border around the edge of the item. How can I ensure that items do not show as selected in any visible way?

Thanks

Can you please Help me out, as currently all of my columns are compressed and i have to manually expand each column to have a look at my data.

Note: My gridview is being populated by list using the (datasource) property.

Hiding The Menu Bar

I'm looking for a way to toggle hide and unhide for the menu bar on an application. I want it to toggle when the user presses 'Alt' just like on Internet Explorer 8.
All attempts I have made so far have failed. Capturing KeyDown has a tendancy to make the toggling flicker if the Alt key is pressed too long. Also, the menu toggles if the user trys ALT+Tab or any other Alt key function.

Question about dll files for making msi file...

Hi,

I refer to the three telerik.dll(Telerik.WinControls.dll / Telerik.WinControls.UI.dll / TelerikCommon.dll) for adding Radribbon UI.
Now I should make msi file for installing and testing on other computers.

After install process, I ran my application and failed process before load ribbon form.

I think my msi file have some problem about telerik dll files.
What should I do for add dll file in msi file? Do I need any setting about registry?

Do you have any suggestions about that? Actually I didn't use msi file before.
Please let me know, how to add telerik dll..

P.S This msi run normally on my computer.(I installed radcontrols for winforms on my desktop.)
However it is not a situation what I want.

Custom Items

I have created a new EditAppointDialog form, using a custom Appointment Factory. C#

1) How can I set the new custom appointment data during manual creation? I don't see "Email" show as an option. Am I missing something? The email data does save & load within the session.

Appointment appointment = null;

appointment = new Appointment(start, end, summary, description, location);

this.radScheduler.Appointments.Add(appointment);

this.radScheduler.AppointmentFactory = new CustomSchedFactory();

public class CustomSchedFactory : IAppointmentFactory

{

#region IAppointmentFactory Members

public IEvent CreateNewAppointment()

{

return new MySched();

}

#endregion

}

public class MySched : Appointment

{

public MySched()

:base()

{ }

string email = String.Empty;

public string Email

{

get { return this.email; }

set

{

if (this.email != value)

{

this.email=value;

this.OnPropertyChanged("Email");

}

2) I also will have a new combobox added to the custom AppointmentDialog, and I want to add items at form load (similiar to Resources). How I can I add drop-down values to my custom combobox on the radScheduler during Onload of RadForm (not Appointment form)?

this.radScheduler.Resources.Add(new Resource(1,"Test"));

(I have a new "Types" combobox on the custom EditAppointmentDialog)
