Explorer Style with Panel bar

Hi, I am trying to create a look and feel of the Explorer Style as shown in the link.

How would I go about this? Am I using the wrong control? is the panel bar not capable of this?

Thank you!

Control Docking

Hi,

I have a RadPanel with two controls on it, one is a RadGrid, the other is a Panel with some other controls on, which is made visible or invisible by the user.

I would like the RadGrid to fill the available space in the RadPanel, i.e to fill the whole panel when the other control is hidden or fill up to the other control when it is visible. Currently when I set the GridView.Dock to Fill it fills the whole panel and other control is on top of it.

I am sure there is a simple way or property setting to sort this, could someone let me know asap as I am trying to finish this today.

Kind regards

[Solved] Selection of few rows

Hello,

I am having a strange issue when selecting few rows in my gridview. To select rows each one have a checkbox.

If I select a row, its background color is changed. If I select another row the background of the actual row is changed but the background color of the previous row dissapears. Theorically the color of the previous selected row sholud remain because is still selected.

Is it necessary to set a property for this?or isn´t this possible to do? I have been checking on-line demos and I have noticed it happens the same as it happens to me, but I don´t know whether this occurs by chance or is impossible to configure.

My other question is the following: in the gridview of my web application I use GridClientSelectColumn to select and unselect all rows. Does exist an equivalent data bound column in desktop applications?

Thank you in advance.

Weird issue in Property Builder

I uncheck a field to Hide it, but when I run my program the field still shows up.

This radGridView is using a bindingsource.

For most of my radgridviews, it works fine, no issues and the radgridview seems really polished but on a few radgridviews... i want to hide a field but it still keeps showing up anyway, even if I delete it.

Any ideas?

[Solved] Setting Font on Calender portion of RadDateTimeEditor / RadDateTimePickerElement

Hey at Telerik

I have hooked up the CellEditorInitialized event for the grid and tried to
change the Font of the opening Calander portion for a RadDatetimePickerColumn.
I can se at runtime that the instance of the DefaultBehaviour holds references to the RadCalender control in the RadDateTimePicker.

How can i change the Font of the Calender portion?

I also need to have weeknumbers enabled on the calender, but one solution fixes the other, i hope. :)

Regards

Morten.

ChildViewExpanding and changing content of ChildGridView

Hello All,
I have a task to evaluate Telerik GridView, but I'm stacked with a problem.
I need to create hierarchical RadGridView, but scenario where I will bind on startup Master and Childs Templates is not good for me, because most of the data in ChildGrid will be shown only on expanding, and in my scenario getting all the data is too expensive.
So I'm trying to populate Rows collection of ChildGridView template on ChildViewExpanding event.
And here where I have a problem. After first time I expand on + I have correct content, but then I collapse, and expand again, there is no content ( and in code Rows collection is properly filled with data ).
I found some threads on forum where other have similar issues, and conclusion was that Hierarchy can't be created dynamically and updated on expanding event.

What I'm missing here, or is this as designed?
Is there workaround for this( or way to simulate same behavior), or my best choice is to bring new GridView when user click master grid.

Thanks in advance.
Regards

RE: Instructions on updating an existing project

Hi

Thanks for beta update

In instructions to set up - it states update references to new dll's

When I right clicked references in the windows project there was no ability to update

Does that mean I have to delete each existing telerik reference and create a new one or is there another automatic or manual method I could use to update them please

Serialization problem (restoring wrong sizes)

Hi there,

I have got problems regarding serialization/deserialization of docking layouts.

1.) When I adjust the width or height of an auto hidden window, this size won't be stored anyhow. If I reload the layout the size is alwas set to a default size. So the user have no chance to adjust the width or height of auto hidden windows permanently. I can reproduce this behaviour with the RadControls for WinForms example application under "RadDock-->Serialization". For me it seems that the size of an autohidden window isn't stored in the xml file at all. Am correct there? What can I do?

2.) When having a floating window the size of this window will not be restored correctly. Its size decreases everytime saving and loading the layout to xml. This behaviour can be reproduced in the sample application, too!

Please help ...

Best regards,
Oliver Bollmann

MDI Dock Manager Child Form Index

How do I determine a child form's index number located in DockManager.MdiChildren collection? In other words, I'm trying to determine what tab a child form belong's to. I tried the following code:

System.Array.IndexOf(oDockingManager.MdiChildren, oClientForm)

I only get 0 as a result, no matter which tab the form is located in. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mitch
