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

hi,
I m using version "RadControls for WinForms Q1 2008 SP1", but I did not found any template c:\program files\telerik\RadControls for WinForms Q1 2008 SP1\templates
so please guide me how can I use RadForm in Visual Studio 2008.
What steps are required to use RadFormControl.

Regards

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.

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.

Hi,

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.

Do you know what property I have to change to make it no visible?

Thank you in advance.
 

Hi,

I am developing a windows application using radGrid (Hierarchical grid). I want to see only 5 child records at a time when parent row is expanded. Currently I have 50 child records and All the child records are getting displayed. I want to restrict the number of child records to be viewed, So that the remaining records can be scrolled.

Please suggest me if we can achieve this.


Thanks
Hari Kumar

I may have missed it but I could not find a way to hide the tabs.  Is that possible?  So that the position could be Top, Bottom, Left, Right, None? This way it could be used as a multi container control.

I just installed the Q1 2009 version of RadControls for WinForms, and received an error when the installer attempted to install tools to the toolbox. I found a log file in the appropriate folder that contains the following text. What can I do to get the tools to install? My version of VS is 2008 SP1 and my OS is Vista 32bit.

Thanks in advance...

I see here http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/export-excel.html that I can export to Excel which is great, but lets say I want to export to CSV.  The corresponding ASP.NET grid control can easily do this, but I don't see a way to easily do this with the GridView control in Winforms, surely there is someway to do this?

Thanks,
Ben
