RadGridView get new value

I have a question about the RadGridView

I want to retrieve the new value of a cell that I have changed.

When I change a cell from value "AB" to "CD", how can I then get "CD" ?

Should I use the RowsChanged or CellValueChanged event?

In the RowsChanged, you have a property e:NewItems, but I don't know how you then can get value "CD" from e:NewItems.

Winforms CloseReason=WindowsShutDown in MdiChild Form

Hi!

I have MdiParent Form which hosts multiple MdiChids. I would like to determine why the MidParent is being closed withing the MdiChild-ClosingEvent. The CloseReason in the MdiChild-ClosingEvent only says "MdiFormClosing". But I dont know if the MdiParent is closed due to user operation (eg. pressing X in upper right corner) or Windows is being shutdown.

How can I solve that?

background:

The MdiChild_FormClosing-Event either asks if this or all childs shall be closed. If all are confirmed, the static variable of "bool _ForceClosing" prevents the next child from asking again. So good so far. I would like to skip this confirmation stuff in case, windows is being shutdown. But this CloseReason in MdiChild only has UserClosing or MdiFormClosing.

System::Void 
Form_Client::Form_Client_FormClosing(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::FormClosingEventArgs^  e)
  {
    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    try
    {
      //-- mdi closing already confirmed --------------------------------------------------------------------
      if (this->_ForceClosing == true)
      {
        e->Cancel = false;
        return;
      }
      //-- windows shutdown ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      else if (e->CloseReason == System::Windows::Forms::CloseReason::WindowsShutDown)  // not working
      {
        this->_ForceClosing = true;
      }
      //-- user single closing (ask if connected) -----------------------------------------------------------
      else if (e->CloseReason == System::Windows::Forms::CloseReason::UserClosing)
      {
        // ask if this child shall be closed
        if (Result != System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK)
        {
          e->Cancel = true;
          return;
        }
      }
      //-- mdi parent closing initiated ---------------------------------------------------------------------
      else if (e->CloseReason == System::Windows::Forms::CloseReason::MdiFormClosing)
      {
        // ask if all childs shall be closed
        if (Result != System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::Yes)
        {
          e->Cancel = true;
          return;
        }
        //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        this->_ForceClosing = true;
      }
      //-- unknown reason -> just close all -----------------------------------------------------------------
      else
      {
        this->_ForceClosing = true;
      }
    }
    //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    catch (System::Exception^ ex)
    {
      System::Windows::Forms::MessageBox::Show( ex->ToString() ); 
    }
  }

Thanks in advance

Localizing treeview node elements text

Hello, can you please tell me how to properly localize radtreeview nodes text? The localization is working properly for other controls like rad menu items: In case of them, I only had to change the language property in parent RadForm, and set text property in particular language for that control and it worked fine. However, it cannot be done for tree nodes. For tree nodes I tried changing the language property in the parent form then opening the property builder where I set Text property. It turns out that the text set in this property is the text that is shown in all languages, not just in the one selected in the main form. So, how to do this?

Gridview enum wrapper in ComboBoxColumn

Hi Telerik support team,

I’ve a question about the GridView for Winforms. In my grid I’ve a combobox column which is based on a enum. Before, in net framework 4.7.2 I had a nice wrapper around it in order to translate the values. Works like a charm.

Now we’ve updated our application to net8 and that part does not work anymore. I’ve isolated the code in a simple example program. The attached solution contains 2 projects, one is net framework and the other is net8. Code is the same. In the net8 I get an exception when I try to set a filter on the column.

Are you aware of this? Did I miss something? How can I get this working in net8?

Any help is welcome.

Regards,

Daniel Kaya

Group by ID but sort by Date RadGridView

as per the title I group records by groupID, but the records also contain dates, I in turn would like to order the groups by "creation date" without creating other subgroups, leaving the grouping by groupID unchanged.

Currently I use this code for grouping:

GroupDescriptor descriptor = new();
descriptor.GroupNames.Add("GroupID", ListSortDirection.Descending);
this.DGNotes.GroupDescriptors.Add(descriptor);

I tried using examples in the documentation but to no avail. Thanks for your help.

PDF Markup/Annotation Settings?

We have incomming PDF documents that have been annotated/marked up/stamped (we beleive using Adobe). When you view or print from Telerik the "annotations" are missing or wrongly formated.

Chrome and Edge both display the PDF correctly.

Are there any properties or techniques I can use to get Telerik PDF to include the annotations ?

Attached are the original PDF "PDFMarkUp.pdf" and the PDF as printed by Telerik "PDFMarkUpOUT.pdf" (Replicates the Telerik View )

How to use AutoCompleteDataSource with RadCheckedDropDownList

I have a situation where I would like to customize the list of items provided by the auto-completion suggestion list in a RadCheckedDropDownList. i.e. Even though radCheckedDropDownList1.DataSource is set to one list of values, I need to set radCheckedDropDownList1.AutoCompleteDataSource to a different list of values. Whenever I attempt to do this, the auto-complete drop-down list still shows suggestions from the DataSource collection rather than the AutoCompleteDataSource collection.

If I attempt the same thing with a normal RadDropDownList, it works fine. Is this functionality not supported with a RadCheckedDropDownList? If not, why have an AutoCompleteDataSource property? If it is supported, what is the proper usage to get it work?

Thanks!
