How To Display ComboBoxes in RadGridView

Dear Telerik,

I am currently having problems displaying a ComboBox column in RadGridView. The following is my code:

    
                        GridViewCheckBoxColumn colIsSelected = new GridViewCheckBoxColumn("Select"); 
        
                        GridViewLookUpColumn colProjectRoles = new GridViewLookUpColumn("RoleID"); 
        
                        colProjectRoles.DropDownStyle = RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList; 
        
                        colProjectRoles.DisplayMember = "Name"; 
        
                        colProjectRoles.ValueMember = "ID"; 
        
                        colProjectRoles.DataSource = General.ProjectRoles; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("UserID")); 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns.Add(colIsSelected); 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns.Add(colProjectRoles); 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("CompanyName")); 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("LastName")); 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn("FirstName")); 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["RoleID"].HeaderText = Properties.Resources.AssignUser_ProjectRole; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["CompanyName"].HeaderText = Properties.Resources.AssignUser_CompanyName; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["LastName"].HeaderText = Properties.Resources.AssignUser_LastName; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["FirstName"].HeaderText = Properties.Resources.AssignUser_FirstName; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["Select"].ReadOnly = false; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["RoleID"].ReadOnly = false; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["CompanyName"].ReadOnly = true; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["LastName"].ReadOnly = true; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["FirstName"].ReadOnly = true; 
        
                        rgvUsers.Columns["UserID"].IsVisible = false; 
        
                        foreach (TLUser user in userList) 
        
                        { 
        
                            object[] values = { user.UserId, false, Guid.Empty, user.CompanyName, user.LastName, user.FirstName };

[Solved] Customizing few of Application theme

Hi Telerik team,
in our project we want to use Office2007Black, to do so I call following in base form's constructor ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Office2007Black"
It works just fine. However I also want to override theme for specific component (for example RadGridView). I have placed RadThemeManager on our base From, but if Office2007Black is active, it supresses this the custom theme.
Is there any way to implement this to have simultaneously active Office2007Black for application and MyCustomTheme for RadGridView?

ToolTip Not Work on TextBoxItem of RadSpinEditor

I extrapolated from the following Forum Post to figure out how to set ToolTips for my RadSpinEditor Control: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/ui-controls/tooltip-does-not-work-on-radtextbox.aspx

I was able to set the ToolTip for the Up and Down Buttons of the Control but the one for the Text Box part of it doesn't appear to be working. See code sample below:

    
                    With CType(rspnNumPastUnits.RootElement.Children(0), RadSpinElement) 
        
                        With .TextBoxItem 
        
                            .AutoToolTip = True 
        
                            .ToolTipText = "0 = Unit-To-Date" 
        
                        End With ' --  
        
                        With .UpButton 
        
                            .AutoToolTip = True 
        
                            .ToolTipText = "0 = Unit-To-Date" 
        
                        End With ' --  
        
                        With .DownButton 
        
                            .AutoToolTip = True 
        
                            .ToolTipText = "0 = Unit-To-Date" 
        
                        End With ' --  
        
                    End With ' -- CType(rspnNumPastUnits.RootElement.Children(0), RadSpinElement)

[Solved] Conditional formating... if less than ...

Hello Dear Experts. :)
I would like to set the conditional formatting from the code for one column.
The row should change color when the value in column (type datetime) subtracted from the results of today's date is less than 1 month.
Is there any possibility to do this? Or do I have to subtract the date using sql, and select as an additional value?

Best Regards
Krzysztof

GridView DataBinding: Faster with LINQ or Dataset?

I have a project that needs expedited and I'm new to Telerik components so I need some advice please.

I was hoping to use LINQ to populate my grid and I'm using a binding source as an intermediary. The grid was not saving my data and it is not clear by the documentation on how to do this. However, it appears, via forum suggestions, that I'll need to create some type of saving mechanism in the RowValidated event to accomplish this if I use LINQ.

So, would it be faster for me to use a dataset and tie the grid into that instead? Are there any considerations when doing it this way? I'm hoping that I can create the dataset, tie the grid to it and I'll be done.

Thank You.

Win Integration for WinForms

I can add the components for all the WinForm controls to our OpenSpan visual designer and they work awesomely. Great solid work Telerik. This allows my customers to drag n drop all the Telerik windows controls into the OpenSpan Studio so they can drive automations and integrations to any enterprise legacy application (win32, web, java, lotus, mainframe etc.,) running on the desktop.

However, in the demo, I can see the Win Integration components but they don't appear to be in the win.controls dll like all the other visual components.

Is there a plan to have them as components. OpenSpan Studio is a visual designer and automation IDE and I didn't want our customers having to drop to code per se' if they don't have to.

Thanks.

SCSF view is taking time to load(Optimise loading of views in SCSF)

Hi,

I have developed a smart client desktop application using SCSF.

It has an MDI and MDI child forms opens over it(It is similar to windows menu based application using MDI) .

The problem is that the MDI child forms (i.e. the views) take a few seconds to open and load.

Is there any way of minimising the time it takes.

The forms are having simple telerik text boxes and telerik labels and telerik grids(which has two columns and is not populated during load)

I call a webservice at form load and have tried to comment the service call; Even then it takes the same time so I have ruled out the possibility of service delay.

Nothing else is done at the form load except the form is rendered

Is it because I am using telerik that the form is taking time to render the telerik controls or because of SCSF CAB.

But a simple windows forms in the same project gets loaded faster than the telerik one.

May be SCSF might be tuned up to load the views faster or there is some way to make the CAB work faster which I am unaware of.

Thanks in advance.

Global Themes

I am new to the Telerik WinForms controls (so be gentle if this is dumb question).

I have looked through the doc, watched videos and searched the forums, but I can not figure out how to set a theme that applies to an entire application or even all controls on a form. It seems like you have to set the theme on every control on every form. What am I missing?
