Hello
In my app, I add the DockPanels dinamically to the DockingManager...
How can I do to these panels have the same width?
I tried this:
dockingManager1.Controls[x].Width = (dockingManager1.Width / dockingManager1.Controls.Count);
Another question: how can I hide the tab simbol that existes at the bottom of the DockPanel?
For example: When I add the DockPanel, at its bottom, it seems like it's a tab. Can I hide this and only the window will appear?
Thanks

Hi Telerik,

My client needs the ability to multi-select items on the radtreeview using the arrow keys and either ALT and/or CTRL.

Do you have a sample project or a code snippet?

Many thanks,

[Solved] Assigning ContextMenu to RadButtonElement

Hi,

I am using RadPanelBar with RadButtonElement controls on it. I whould like to assign a context menu to every single RadButtonElement but I have some problems regarding this.

1. RadButtonElement dos not contain ContextMenu property, so I cannot assign the menu to it.

2. When I right click on RadButtonElement, it fires a click event, what I do not want. Is it possible to disable such a behavior?

TIA
Jaroslav

RadControls_WinForms_2009_1_311_dev: can't register toolbox items

Hello!

I've just installed RadControls_WinForms_2009_1_311_dev width Visual Studio 2008 service pack 1. I had RadControls_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2009_1_311_dev and haven't ever had installed any WinForms radcontrols. Also, there is installed Visual Studio 2005.

During installation of RadControls_WinForms_2009_1_311 I unchecked support for VS 2005 and left VS 2008 only. At the end of installation there was and error box reporting that ToolBox failed. After that, I didn't find RadControls in VS 2008's toolbox.

How could I add RadControls_WinForms into VS 2008 toolbox manually? The only installed third party controls are DevExpress for WinForms. Maybe, they are conflicting?

With best regards,
Alexey

Display of Appointment or adding milestone/reminder events

I would like to be able to use the scheduler to sow milestone events or reminder/appointment events.

A milestone event would have a day but not start or end time associated with it. It would be used to flag that something should happen or have happened on/by a particualr day.

A reminder/appointment event would have a day and a start time, but not an end time associated with it, eg a Dentist appointment at 2:00pm today or Get Report to Boss by 5:00 pm.

Both these features could be fudged by changing the display on the calendar so that it only displays 0, 1 or two dates (the event edit dialog currently requires two different times to be entered). But I cannot see how to do this. Can it be done, and if so how?

I think that both of these types of scheduler events would be useful additions for future releases.

Can the default height of a scheduler event be modified? At the moment in many instances nothing can be seen other than the start and end times of an event if the width of the scheduler component is not full screen. It would be useful to be able to increase the display height of an event so that a couple of extra lines of information could be displayed.

It would be good to have more built in support for mouse over event of a scheduler event. At the moment there is a tool tip showing the event Tilte, but it would be good to have options to automatically also display Place and Descriptions details when the mouse is over an event in the scheduler.

MultiThreading: Visual Styles

I'm not really sure what's going on here. But i need help. Using RadControls for WinForms Q2 2007. (Upgrade is not a solution).

I am using a multithreaded splash screen in my application (used this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/apploadingarticle.aspx?fid=14122&df=90&mpp=25&noise=3&sort=Position&view=Quick&select=405630) I notice an unusual behavior that the multithreading causes: Somtimes buttons don't have text, and grids populate in memory but do not load the rows visually.

It is somehow caused by the multithreading, but the multithreading used is actually somewhat simple and shouldn't be causing any windows messaging issues.

Before my form loads, I create a new thread, and on it I draw my splash screen in a new message pump while my RadForm Loads. After it's loaded, I dispose my splash form and exit that thread completely. However, now during the lifetime of the application, all my RadControl's visual styles act extremely funky. It seems that they don't receive painting messages properly somehow or something. I am very frustrated, and after extensive scrutiny, cannot see anything wrong with my code.

Is this a known bug or something? Can anyone help?

Adding Nodes design time not allow adding children nodes

Hi,

I am using RAD Winforms Control Q1 2009. I have not installed the setup but using those dlls. I have added them in my toolbox and drag drop treeview control on my form.

First problem I have faced it the treeview control is not getting added on my form instead it was added as component (just like if we add timer, it not displayed on form but at the bottom like components)
I have to write manual code in .designer file and I had written like this.controls.add(this.radtreeview1);

Second thing I have faced it I was trying to add child nodes from designer. I could add root nodes but how can I add their children nodes. I could not find childnodes property in root nodes.
I have even edited .designer file and it works.

Am I missing something or I have to install the setup.

Thanks & Regards,
Divyesh Chapaneri

[Solved] Subclassing RadTabStrip loses theme

Hello -

If I subclass RadTabStrip, I find that I lose the default theme. Here is the code:

                            public class Tabs : RadTabStrip         
                    {         
                    }         
                     
                    void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)         
                    {         
                        var tabs = new RadTabStrip();         
                        Controls.Add(tabs);         
                        tabs.BeginInit();         
                        tabs.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;         
                        tabs.Items.Add(new TabItem() { Text = "First" });         
                        tabs.Items.Add(new TabItem() { Text = "Second" });         
                        tabs.Items.Add(new TabItem() { Text = "Third" });         
                        tabs.EndInit();         
                    }         

The above works great & is themed with the default Telerik theme. However, if I replace "new RadTabStrip()" above with "new Tabs()", the default theme is lost. For RadElement subclasses, I was told to override ThemeEffectiveType and return the base Telerik type, which works quite nicely. However, being a Control rather than a RadElement, RadTabStrip doesn't support this virtual method. I'm guessing there is some other simple way for my subclass to not get in the way of the theme mechanism.

Thanks!
