RadControls

Hi
I downloaded the demo to check it out.

After i installed it and went into my Visual Studio.
Most of the controls when i drag onto my winform they give me an error.
When changing the theme i get erros aswell.

something like.

Failed to create component 'RadWaitingBar'.
The Error message as follows:

'Telerik.wincontrols.radPropertyNotFoundException: no such property registered: seperatorColor1

Is there something that i am missing.

I'm jst trying to test the controls out because i would like to purchase the winforms.

Kind Regards.

Docking RadDock

Newbie alert! Okay, maybe I am missing something simple here, but when I drop a a control like a radRibbonBar onto a form, dock it to the top, and then drop a RadDock on the form and tell it to fill, it ignores the control at the top and fills the entire area. What magic am I missing? Thanks.

Force CellFormatting to Update Font at Runtime

Goal: I need be able to set the font size of a grid's cells at runtime based on user input.
Design: I have a user control with a telerik RadGrid on it. The grid has a mixture of datacolumns and imagecolumns. The user control exposes a property called FontSize.
Problem: I can't get Grid_CellFormatting to be hit once the FontSize Property is changed.

I need some way to force the grid to reformat all the cells when the FontSize Property is set.
I can mouse over the cells which causes Grid_CellFormatting to fire, at which time the cell font is updated with the new font size, but i need this to happen programatically.

My User Control:

    
              Private Sub Grid_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, _ 
        
                    ByVal e As CellFormattingEventArgs) _ 
        
                    Handles grid.CellFormatting 
        
                    Dim f As New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", My.Settings.Grid_FontSize, _ 
        
                        System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte)) 
        
                    e.CellElement.Font = f 
        
                End Sub

    
                Public Property FontSize() As Single Implements IReportGridView.FontSize 
        
                    Get 
        
                        Return My.Settings.Grid_FontSize 
        
                    End Get 
        
                    Set(ByVal value As Single) 
        
                        My.Settings.Grid_FontSize = value 
        
                        My.Settings.Save() 
        
                        My.Settings.Reload() 
        
                    End Set 
        
                End Property

I've tried adding me.grid.Update, Me.grid.Refresh after the My.settings.reload, but nothing seemed to trigger the CellFormatting event.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

app.config 'openaccess' section error

hello

when I try to copy an existing user control from one form to another, I get the following error:
"an error occurred while processing this command. the 'openaccess' section cannot be found in the application's configuration file"

when I try to add a new user control to a new form I get the following error:
Failed to create component 'AddEquipmentUC'. The error message follows:
'Telerik.OpenAcccess.Exceptions.ConfigurationException: The 'openaccess' section cannot be found in the application's configuration file. at Telerik.OpenAccess.Config.XML.ConfigFileReader.GetOpenAccessNode(Boolean fromAppConfig, String configFileName, XmlTextReader & xmlTextReader, Boolean throwException)................etc

I am using TortoiseSVN for source control. Everything works fine except for this. I suspect Tortoise is keeping it from authenticating the user/password specified in the openaccess element in the app.config section.

any ideas why this is occurring and how I can fix this? this is really not good for development schedules and I really hope there is a fix for this OTHER than removing source control.

Row edit Status

Hi

I am using an example you provided in a previous reply to implement drag and drop from a radgridview. When using the mouse down event to pass row information into an array if the row being dragged is being edited the application crashes completely. How do I handle this (test for the row edit state) to prevent the crash?

Regards

Joe

Private Sub RadGridView1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles SubContractgrd.MouseDown

Try

downpoint = e.Location

rowtodrag = GetRowAtPoint(Me.SubContractgrd, e.Location)

ContArray(0, 0) = (rowtodrag.Cells(0).Value)

ContArray(0, 1) = (rowtodrag.Cells(1).Value)

ContArray(0, 2) = (rowtodrag.Cells(2).Value)

If Not IsNothing(rowtodrag.Cells("Text").Value) Then

ContArray(0, 2) = Replace(StrConv(rowtodrag.Cells("Text").Value, VbStrConv.Uppercase), " ", "")

Else

ContArray(0, 2) = (rowtodrag.Cells(1).Value)

End If

If Not IsNothing(rowtodrag.Cells("D").Value) Then

ContArray(0, 3) = "SD"

End If

If Not IsNothing(rowtodrag.Cells("V").Value) Then

If Not IsNothing(ContArray(0, 3)) Then

ContArray(0, 3) = "SDV"

Else

ContArray(0, 3) = "SD"

End

End If

Catch ex As Exception

If Err.Number = 91 Then

Err.Clear()

Exit Sub

Else

MsgBox(Err.Description & Err.Number)

End If

End Try

End Sub

Help with updating STATUSSTRIP element from MOD procedure

I have a STATUSSTRIP placed on a form called DESKTOP, which is always ON TOP and present. This form calls and runs everything in my VB.NET application, and happens to be the STARTUP form. I call an PROC which is one of my MODULES instead of CLASS. This PROC happens to run for a long time. I would like for the PROC to post an update to the STATUSSTRIP located on my DESKTOP form (calling form) using the STATUSSTRIPLABEL.VALUE1 and STATUSSTRIPLABEL.TEXT properties. How would I accomplish this?

I tried using DESKTOP.STATUSSTRIP.TEXT = "Something..." and it would not work from my SUB. Basically, my code would look like this on the FORM side.

PRIVATE SUB DESKTOP_ONLOAD() HANDLES FORM_LOAD

    ....
    Call gsDoSomething
    ...

    ME.STATUSSTRIPLABEL.TEXT = "Ready..."

END SUB

The PROC being called will live in a MODULESOMETHING.VB file in my project and its code will resemble...

PUBLIC SUB gsDoSomething()

    ....
    DESKTOP.STATUSSTRIPLABEL.TEXT = "Doing something..."
    ...

END SUB

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
