DocumentWindow does show correctly if activated if not visible on TabStrip

When I call

window.DockManager.ActiveWindow = window;

this activates the DocumentWindow in the Manager, but it paints itself correctly only if the tab of the DocumentWindow was already visible on the TabStrip.

If the tab is not visible (too many open documents), I get an empty window with no contents.

If I activate the window through the drop-down menu, it is inserted to the beginning of the TabStrip and thus shown
correctly.

UserDockForm

What's the best way to convert UserDockForm derived Dockables to the new DocumentWindow?

Do I have to convert them to Controls and then add them to the DocumentWindow.Controls Collection?

radGrid (Web) Problem in new telerik version

Hi,

I am developing a web application with telerik controls. I am using the radGrid in the application. I am facing a weird problem with new version of Telerik.Web.UI.dll. The version which I am using is 2009.1.527.20.

Problem Description:
When the grid width is 50% of the screen width then the paging controls (like Page size and Change button ) are displaying out side grid control. It was not happening with the telerik version 2008.3.........

Please provide the solution.

Thanks
Hari

Keyboard shortcuts

According to the documentation RadMenu is supposed to support accelerator keys (Alt+F for example).

From the documentation (RadMenu -> Usability -> Keyboard Navigation):

After opening a menu use the arrow keys to move the selection up and down the menu, or to move sideways from menu to menu.
If the menu is equipped with accelerator keys, you can press Alt plus the key to activate a menu item. Accelerator keys are indicated by an underlined letter. For example, if you see the menu text New Item, then N is the accelerator key and Alt+N will activate the menu item.
If the menu displays a shortcut (such as Ctrl+N) to the right of the menu item text, pressing the shortcut key combination will activate the menu item.

But I can't seem to get this to work. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Eric

Microsoft OpenType Fonts Are Not Supported!

I've just found out that many telerik WinForms controls (Ribbon, Menu, etc) do not support OpenType fonts which are essential for the text of many Unicode languages to render properly. Indian, Arabic and many other Asian languages depend entirely on OpenType to render. In fact, most fonts found in Windows today are in OpenType format.

Note that OpenType is natively supported in Win 2000, XP and Vista, in all .NET controls, many third-party controls, and WPF as well. I find it odd that telerik WinForms doesn't support it.

Resources to read if you don't know OpenType:

Unbound RadGridView CheckboxColumn Behavior

I have an unbound radgridview that I populate from a .CSV file.

I used AddCheckboxColumn() code I found in this forum to add a 'Select All' header checkbox.

I have two issues.

I want to enable and disable a button on the form based on 'all checkboxes cleared' = disabled and 'all checkboxes selected' = enabled

I can do this by adding ...

            If valueState = False And frmClientsImport.btnAddToDB.Enabled = True Then
                frmClientsImport.btnAddToDB.Enabled = False
            ElseIf valueState = True And frmClientsImport.btnAddToDB.Enabled = False And Not frmClientsImport.cboCustomers Is Nothing Then
                frmClientsImport.btnAddToDB.Enabled = True
            End If

...to Private Sub checkbox_ToggleStateChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As StateChangedEventArgs)

but this is obviously not the way to do it because then I've kind of locked the subroutine to the specific radgridview.

Second, if an individual checkbox is selected/deselected I want to enable the same button as long as at least one row has a checkbox checked and disable the button if no rows have the checkbox checked. I tried the .ValueChanged event but it doesn't seem to report the state correctly.

I am trying to remove the bottom "footer" that appears in calendar pop up when I want to select a date using datetimepicker.

This footer is purple, it´s driving me crazy because I have no idea how to make it not show.

Thank you in advance.
