Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

We have a large number of controls (be that a good or bad design principle) on a form, which seems to hog the CPU when the form is shown and not doing anything. You can recreate the problem by looping around 200 or so insertions of a RadLabel and RadTextBox into a FlowLayoutControl.

Is this a Rad controls problem or something else?

Best regards

Selecting a carousel item without the mouse

Hello,

I have an interesting application for the RadCarousel control that I'm a litle stuck on. I've developed a multi-touch platform and am using the RadCarousel to display a series of demo applications. Instead of relying on the mouse for selecting items within the carousel, I'm using touch. Specifically, a single touch point on the forward and backward arrows will trigger the Carousel.ButtonNext or ButtonPrevious.PerformClick(). I've detected the touch-to-UI-element interaction using HitTest. This works great for UI elements like the next and previous buttons, because they don't overlap. However, a HitTest against a carousel item often results in multiple items returning a true HitTest result, because the images overlap with spline that I'm using and the resolution of the images. I'm running code that looks like the following, to test the carousel elements for HitTest interaction:

foreach (DemoItemElement demoItemElement in mCarousel.Items)

{

if (demoItemElement.HitTest(singlePoint.Center.ToPoint()))

{

CarouselSelectItem(demoItemElement);

demoItemSelected = true;

break;

}

Please note, that the CarouselSelectItem method is a cross-thread method that simply sets the Carousel.SelectedItem property.

I have a video of the application at http://www.bespokesoftware.org/multitouch/MultiTouch_Explorer.wmv

That video is an application screen capture, rather than an over-the-shoulder view, so you're just gonna have to take my word for it that the mouse isn't driving the application -- it's touch. I move and display the mouse pointer just for debugging purposes.

So my question is simply, how do I determine the top-most HitTested carosel item? I have a mouse emulator and could simply move and click the mouse -- but that breaks the notion of a touch-driven application. However, knowing that the mouse click works, I imagine that the carousel control is doing what I'm asking for and it's therefore possible. Is HitTest not the correct method to use in this regard?

Thanks.

Non-CLS compliant assemblies?

I am using Fx-Cop to increase the quality of the applications i develop. However Fx-Cop complains that the RadChart assembly which is included in my project (I suspect the same problem exists for other assemblies in the RadControls suite) is not CLS-compliant. This is minor issue for me, I just wanted to let you to know.

Regards,
Oskar

[Solved] GridViewComboBoxColumn in RadGridView

Hello, I am experimenting with radgridview, I put the grid as a source of a DataTable and I want to change a column type to combobox, I have reviewed the help information in which said that there are 2 ways to assign the columns, one that make grid columns herself and others is that a code developed by the columns in the proof that I'm doing the grid creates columns and I want one of these columns to change the type of editor to a combobox, you can do what desire, ie not create column but change the type of editor's column of a textbox to a combobox, I hope I can help, thanks in advance.

note: I hope made me understand my English is not very good.
