Hi,

I created a static class named GlobalMessageBox.

Inside this class, I set ThemeName for all RadMessageBox.Show

For example,

    
                    /// <summary> 
        
                    /// Displays RadMessageBox with specified text.  
        
                    /// </summary> 
        
                    /// <param name="text">The text to display in the RadMessageBox.</param> 
        
                    /// <returns>One of the <see cref="T:System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult"></see> values</returns> 
        
                    public static DialogResult Show(string text) 
        
                    { 
        
                        RadMessageBox.SetThemeName(_theme); 
        
                        return RadMessageBox.Show(text); 
        
                    }

For the theme, I setted a const like this,

    
                    private const string _theme = "Telerik";

In previous version (I have the last one available), it worked. Now, sometime, it crash. (for example, in a form with a huge gridview).
I found a way to "patch" this with :

    
                    private static string _theme = "Telerik";

This is really strange. If somebody can explain me.

Best regards,
Fabien

Background for Carousel

Hi, what special things do I need to do to correctly put a background on the RadCarousel? If you drag and drop a carousel onto the form I expect to just set the BackgroundImage property and go.. but it doesn't seem to work.

No expense was spared in trying to get this to work and eventually I found by manually adding the following line to the designer code behind I got it to display:

((Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.FillPrimitive)(this.rcFilterOptions.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0))).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;

Naturally this was not the first line of code I tried.. I guess I will put that line of code in the FormLoad in case it gets overwritten if I change the design. Please advise if thre is a better/more correct way of getting the background to display.. and if not, please consider this a bug report, or at best, documentation request. My apologies if I missed something when reading the docs and existing forum requests.

My carousel looks awesum now, btw :)

Cheers
Ewart.

[Solved] Problem with linq to sql and RadGridView

Hi

I am trying my first RadGridView bound to a bindingsource which is bound to a link to sql query result.

When I intially setup the RadGridView I set the datasource to an object which is the linq to sql datacontext class for that table.

I have formatted the grid to only display 2 of the many available fields and specially formated them size and header title.

However the formatting changes I have made do not appear and I get a generic 2 50 char cols. However in the designer it looks ok.

If I edit the designer.cs code and change the IsAutoGenerated to false my formatted cols appear but also two defaulted cols.

What am I doing wrong?

form.cs code

    
                public partial class OrganizationsForm : Telerik.WinControls.RadForm

MultiColumnComboBox "Visual Style"

Is there a theme that I could apply to MultiColumnComboBox that simulates the "System" visual style typically found on the standard .NET controls? We have a lot of XP users and this is the first Telerik control I'm attempting to implement. I see that the ThemeManager has a handful of fancy themes, but does Telerik support the "barebones" windows XP classic look as well?

Thanks.

Multiline & Center RadButton

Is there a way to multiline and center the text of a radbutton, like the stock .net 2.0 button? I have been achieving this by putting a Enviornment.Newline in my text, but this aligns all the text to one side of the button, not centered. Any ideas?

Another question is about the radlabel. I want to placed a radlabel and set the autosize property to false the stretch the label to about 200px, then center the text within the 200px (like the stock .net 2.0 label) How do you do this with the RadLabel?

Thanks

problem with comboboxes & multicombo when new row

hi!

Testing RadGridView adding new rows starting from cleared rows I note something in ComboBoxColumn o MultiColumnComboBox columns. I filled combobox datasource keeping in mind ValueMember be same to FieldName property of column that will show ComboBoxEditor into GridView. When i clik on row "Click here to add new row" and I select an item and then go to next cell via tab key, cells doesn't show selected value, more of it, it doesn't show anything. I tried to fill cell by DefaultValuesNeeded event and give it a default value, combobox shows text according to the default value, that's right!, but in same way when I click next cell, value is loosen and cells doesn't show anything.

What could be happen?

thanks
