How to affect height of dropdown?

Obviously, changing

comboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.DropDownHeight

doesn't do the trick. I've tried various things but with no success?

How can I set exact height of dropdown? It'd be nice if I was able to set height of dropdown by specifying number of rows to display.

Regards,
Daniel

Acces to listbox in Panelbar

I am using the following code to build a PanelBar from a database table. For each "FileType" I add a panel and place a ListBox in the panel. This works just fine.

    
                        For Each itemFileTypes In collFileTypes 
        
                            If itemFileTypes.IsInUse Then 
        
                                Dim newGroupElement As New RadPanelBarGroupElement 
        
                                newGroupElement.EnableHostControlMode = True 
        
                                newGroupElement.Caption = itemFileTypes.Descr 
        
                                Dim lst As New RadListBox 
        
                                lst.Name = itemFileTypes.Descr 
        
                                lst.Dock = DockStyle.Fill 
        
                                lst.Text = itemFileTypes.Type 
        
                                newGroupElement.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lst) 
        
                                radPanelBar.Items.Add(newGroupElement) 
        
                            End If 
        
                        Next 
        
                        radPanelBar.Dock = DockStyle.Left 
        
                        radPanelBar.ThemeName = "ControlDefault" 
        
                        ' Set focus to Log panel 
        
                        radPanelBar.Items("Log").Focus()  ' This throws exception

Later in my code I need to access the ListBox to assign its DataSource and load the appropriate data into each ListBox.

    
                    ' For each panel find the listbox and assign its DataSource etc 
        
                    ' add a listbox event handler for SelectedValueChanged. 
        
                    Try 
        
                        Dim pnl As RadPanelBarGroupElement 
        
                        For Each pnl In radPanelBar.Items 
        
                            Dim lst As RadListBox 
        
                            'newGroupElement.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lst) 
        
            ' This is where I come unstuck! 
        
                            lst = pnl.Items(0)  or  pnl.ContentPanel.Controls(0) ???

                            With lst 
        
                                .ValueMember = "id" 
        
                                .DisplayMember = "FileDescription" 
        
                                .DataSource = GetFileNamesByType(CType(lst.Text, Integer)) 
        
                                '.EmptyRows = True 
        
                                AddHandler lst.SelectedValueChanged, AddressOf ListBoxSelectedValueChanged 
        
                            End With 
        
                        Next

See where I come unstuck above. What am I missing?

'newGroupElement.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(lst)

If I added a listbox to the controls collection of the ContentPanel of the GroupItemElement, why can I not access the ContentPanel of the GroupElement?

e.g.

lst = GroupElement.ContentPanel.Controls(0)

windows contextmenustrip on radtreenode

Good morning Telerik Team,

I'm wondering if it's possible to use a Windows ContextMenuStrip on RadTreeNode control. I see it's possible to use it on the Radtreeview control, but I need context menus on the RadTreeNodes too.

Thanks,

Teba.

CSLA - RadGridView - NewRow and Grouping

Hello,
We are evaluating the WinForm controls and have downloaded the free trial. We are also using custom business objects based on Richard Lhotka's CSLA framework. We have run into some issues with regards to the RadGridView.

1. The RadGridview is bound to a BindingSource control which in turn is bound to our business object. With regards to adding new rows via the RadGridView, we had to override the AddNewCore method that elimiated one of the errors the Grid reported. Now the New Row is displayed but there is an issue with the behavior of adding records. If you set a value for one of the cells of the new row and press the Tab button to proceed to the next cell of the current record, this will create a new record instead of continuing editing the current record.

2. When Grouping by a column is there an event that we can tie into or override a method? Currently we recieve an InvalidCastException when the Grid tries to cast the field to a type of System.IComparable.

Best Regards

Clicking a row triggers the Cellformatting event to fire.

I'm not sure if im using the correct event but let me explain whats happening.

i have a gridview control which display data/images. When a image is changed it fires the cellformating event to play a audio sound, but when i click on the row or cell on the grid it fire the cellformatting event again. Why is this happening?is this by design. I only want to play the audio when the image value changes.

RadDataGridView

Hi.
I'm new with this product and I have some problem with RadDataGridView
1. When I define more than 21 columns, I can not choose the columns 21 and more to set their property.
2. Some time (not always) I can not add more than one column to the Grid (when I open "Open Property Builder"). I have to click OK and open it to add another column.

Loading multiple themes for similar controls

Hi,

Ive got a complex MDI application which Im trying to theme. Ive tried a few different ways to create multiple themes that the user can chose between and the only way I can get it to work is if I create a ControlDefault theme for most controls, and any controls that need to be different, like panels that need to show different colours I create a separate theme file and set the ThemeName property on the panels to match up the the correct theme. Then to swap between themes I have a different set of files with the same ThemeNames.

This works great, but I cant figure out how to unload a theme, also if I have 2 themes, light and dark and the form loads with the light theme, then I set it to dark, if I try to set it back to light it wont apply. How can I unload the theme, or properly switch between themes?

To load the themes Im using ThemeResolutionService.RegisterThemeFromStorage(...);

Also

Ive built a control which inherits from RadPanel, and when I try and theme it, the theme will not apply. I had a look at the resulting xml from the Visual Style Builder, and it was setting the ControlType attribute in the RadStylesheetRelation node to RadPanel instead of my class. I manually set this to my class and it worked fine. While this works, it is a pain, and if the client wants to create new themes later they will need to manually change the xml.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
