Hello,

I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and I'm having trouble integrating RibbonBar on my Form.

I followed your tutorial >>> http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/ribbonbarquickstart.html

But I have no RadRibbonBar in my toolbox. Can you tell me how to add control ?

Thank you

[Solved] How do I Remove or Delete Grouping?

I want to undo this command:

Me.OrderStatusRadGridView.MasterGridViewTemplate.GroupByExpressions.Add("OrderType GroupBy OrderType")

Me.OrderStatusRadGridView.MasterGridViewTemplate.GroupByExpressions.Add("OrderStatus GroupBy OrderStatus")

Implement applicationwide hotkey

I would like to run a applicationwide hotkey which enables the user to execute a specific command (eg maximizing all mdi forms) pressing alt-enter

When using this code it works:

ChordModifier1.AltModifier =

True

ChordModifier1.ControlModifier =

False

ChordModifier1.ShiftModifier =

False

Chord1.ChordModifier = ChordModifier1

Chord1.Keys =

"Alt+Y"

InputBinding1.Chord = Chord1

ClickCommand1.Name = "ActionCommand"

ClickCommand1.OwnerType =

GetType(Telerik.WinControls.RadItem)

InputBinding1.Command = ClickCommand1

InputBinding1.CommandContext =

Me.rbeWindowsMaximize

However when I use

Chord1.Keys = "Alt+Enter"

it does not work. How can I get Alt-Enter to work?
thnx

Creating a Manual Context Menu with RadMenuItems

Hi,

I am attempting to create a manual type of contextmenu for a radgroupbox. I add radiobuttons to the radgroup box, then 2 menu items, one is Add MA, the other is Remove MA. The Add MA should expand to the right and then down and show the selection of MA's to add. The remove would of course getElementAt and remove one of the radiobutton controls. Every attempt I have made the second menuitem never opens up. Code is below, any help would be apprecaited.

                            private void setup_ma()         
                    {         
                        // Intialize MA object         
                        ma_list = new sch_objects.MA_List(profile_list.Locationid, profile_list.Installerid);

[Solved] Unbound GridView Save to Database

I have a GridView that I populate manually using OpenFileDialog...

Dim fname As String = ""

        If (dlgImportClients.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then
            fname = dlgImportClients.FileName
        End If

Dim TextLine As String = ""
Dim SplitLine() As String

If System.IO.File.Exists(fname) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fname)

Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
TextLine = objReader.ReadLine()

'need to add false for checkbox column
TextLine = "False," + TextLine

SplitLine = Split(TextLine, ",")

                dgvClients.ColumnCount = SplitLine.Count
                dgvClients.MasterGridViewTemplate.AllowAddNewRow = False
                dgvClients.ReadOnly = False
                dgvClients.Columns(0).IsVisible = True

                'if .RowCount = 0 then we are processing the first row
                If dgvClients.RowCount = 0 Then
                    For i = 1 To SplitLine.Count - 1
                        With dgvClients
                            .Columns(i).HeaderText = SplitLine(i).ToString
                            .Columns(i).BestFit()
                        End With
                    Next
                End If
                dgvClients.Rows.Add(SplitLine)
            Loop

            'stupid but the only way I could get the datagridview to populate correctly
            If dgvClients.RowCount > 1 Then
                dgvClients.Rows.RemoveAt(0)
            End If
        Else
            RadMessageBox.SetThemeName("Breeze")
            RadMessageBox.Show("File Does Not Exist")
        End If

I am loading the .CSV file to the GridView so that it can be reviewed, cleaned up, and then imported into Clients table within the customers database.

I'm kinda stumped as to the best way to get the data in the GridView into the database. Could just be a brain fart or I may be going about this totally wrong. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Custom Filter

Hi, I have a question...
I'm using ADO Entity FrameWork and displays information in a GridView, all filters work correctly...
When I get the information with the Entity Framework, I put a top... I mean, if i have 50 records in a table, only I get 20.
Code:
var table = Context.Table.Top(20);
GridView1.DataSource = table;

I want to do is put other filter options (custom filter) in the menu of filters to obtain the others 30 records. I mean, how can I put other options in the menu filter and specify my own code to make another type of filter?

because The default filters only filter the records displayed.

my apologies for my english I hope to have explained..
Thanks!!

[Solved] Joining themes

Hi!

I have got a datetimepicker (the textbox) with a theme created by me. I have also got a calendar with a theme created by me.

I want to use this calendar with the datetimepicker.

At the moment I have the datetimepicker and when I click on its box appears the default calendar theme and I would like to appear my one I have mentioned before.

How can I do this?because as far as I know with visual style builder when I try to make changes in the datetimepicker properties is not possible to change the calendar which is joined to it.

I hope you have understood what I want to get.

Thank you in advance.

[Solved] Removing "Click here to add new row"

I've looked around, but I can't seem to find either a text property to change the text, or a property to just hide the auto-created "Click here to add new row" Row in an empty GridView.

I'm using a RadGridView control to display data that comes from a hand held scanner and is created on the fly. Because of this, I have no data source for the grid, I just define the columns and use AddRow() to display my data. The grid also allows editing of the data in the gird before saving.

Is there a way to turn this off?

RadForm with RibbonBar incorrectly maximizes

I'm trying to evaluate Telerik WinForm controls for our organisation with potential for large license purchase.

I've created a simple Form which inherits from RadForm and added a RadRibbonBar. I need to hide the RadForm title so that the ribbon bar appears correctly, however when I maximize the Form the RadForm menu reappears incorrectly at the very top of the screen, showing only half of the title bar (it should be invisible). I've tried using the RadRibbonForm template with the same results. I've tried searching the forums but without much success. This looks like a bug! Any suggestions?
