The Telerik Theme class is missing an iterator for the used colors in the theme. With such an iterator it would be much easier to use the color blend feature.

As an extension i would like to suggest to have a getter/setter for a colorpalette which contains all the used colors of a theme. The advantage of the colorpalette is it could have an iterator for the colors, be loaded/saved to xml and it could be easily used with every theme. When i define a green colorpalette i could use it with the desert theme, the office 2007 blue theme, the aqua theme, ...

As a further side effect telerik could provide predefined colorpalettes like a silver and a black colorpalette and then we would not need the office2007black and office2007silver theme anymore. We would just change the colorpalette to silver or black. 

Kind Regards,

Hi

Using Rad dock as a mdi container and trying to launch forms in document but getting error below - does this mean forms can not be added to the tabed document view?

document.Controls.Add(enquiry);

enquiry.Dock =

Hello,

I have a RadListbox and a couple of textboxes bound to a bindingsource with as datasource a generic list with objects.   When the selection in the listbox is changed the text in the textboxes also reflect the current selected object. All works fine there

The listbox supports dragging and dropping of items (RadItemDragDropManager).   But when the order of the items is changed these changes are not reflected in the bindingsource and textboxes.

any suggestion how i can realize that ?

kind regards,

Tim van Rooijen

Hi,

I want to achieve following behavior of RadGridView. I have grid with some 6 columns and preloaded rows. User is suppose to edit 2 columns in these rows. Other columns are read-only. One of editable columns is multi-column combo box.

User wants to edit rows one by one, going through values in that combo column using following approach:

edit (by writing value, e.g. 'X' or 'N' into combo) - down arrow (to move to next row) - edit - down arrow

However, default behavior of combo is that once user presses down arrow (or up arrow for that matter), it just lists through values of combo (dropdown) an/or displays dropdown. I want to change that and use up/down arrows just for moving up/down the grid's row collection.

I've tried hooking up on numerous events of grid, editor (multi-combo column), but with no result. Closest I've been was when I called grid.EndEdit() in grid's ValueChanged event handler. Problem with this is that it works only when user always enters value to the column (i.e. presses 'X' or 'N'), otheriwse down arrows just selects next value in the list, then editing ends. Another problem with this 'solution' is that when default value in the column is 'N' and user enters it, presses 'N', ValueChanged event isn't notified and down arrow moves to next value just as if he didn't press the 'N' before.

I need to solve this ASAP as it is very important for the client not to have press more keys then there is necessary (understand VALUE - MOVE). I know it is possible by VALUE - ENTER - MOVE, but that ENTER is what bothers my client and subsequently me too.

I'll be glad if you give me hints where to look and what to change.

Thanks a lot

Daniel

Hi

the help via telerik programme link in windows is empty and cannot find any help on new rad dock included in beta on telerik site

although there is a video on telerik 
http://tv.telerik.com/winforms/raddock/introducing_new_raddock_winforms
it concentrates on migration and not how to do a new form from the beginning

Hi,

Hello,

I am using a masked edit control on my form, and would like to tie in some keyboard handling code to allow my userbase to operate the software without using a mouse.  However if I connect an event handler to the KeyDown/Up events my code is never executed.

My masked text box has a very simple mask of "######" and is in standard mode.  Just to make sure it was not me missing something, I placed a standard Winforms masked text box onto my form by the side of the Telerik control and this behaved as expected and fired the KeyUp/Down events.

I am using VS2008 SP1 and my project is set to use .Net V3.5.

Anyone got any ideas, I can not see any properties that need to be set in order to enable these events.  Its causing me a lot of trouble, as I will need to use quite a few of these controls to get my application  completed.

Best Regards,

Karl Hunsley
