Hello,

I have applied a custom theme to my grid that uses a dark gray background on the rows. However, I would like to change the black arrow in the row header cell that indicates the current row. I would like to use a green arrow in the header row to indicate the current row, instead of the black, but I can't seem to change it in the theme. How can I change this icon or change the color of the arrow?

Thanks,

Rachel

Changing Height of a RadDateTimePicker Control

I have a RadDateTimePicker control that is located to the right of a RadTextBox. The default height of a RadTextBox is 20 and the default height of a RadDateTimePicker control is 22. There's also a discrepancy in heights with the combobox, the default height for it is 19. The difference in heights although small is very noticeable when the controls are arranged horizontally.

I can change the height of the combo box to match a text box and so I can get it to match. However, when I reduce the Height of a DateTimePicker to 20 (after setting AutoSize to false), it looks funny. Worse, when I run the application, the height of a RadDateTimePicker seems to be reset to 22 no matter what I've tried to do.

I know that the control height is a function of the control font. I tried reducing the font of the date time picker and that does get the control heights to match. However, mixing fonts across controls looks worse than the size discrepancy.

Are there any good workarounds for this so that I can get the RadDateTimePicker height to match the text and combo boxes?

Thanks,
Richard

Visual bug when expanding ribbon

Hi,

I am evaluating the ribbon control. I have a button that expands/collapses the ribbon bar by using the following event handler.

    
            private void OnToggleStateChanged(object sender, StateChangedEventArgs args)  
        
            {  
        
                ribbonBar.Expanded = !ribbonBar.Expanded;  
        
            }

The title bar does not get repainted properly when expanding. I have linked some screen shots that show the problem.

1. Initial state
2. Collapsed state
3. Buggy expanded state

Thanks

Placing image and text when creating buttons dynamically

Is there some sample code on how to place text and images on a button when you need more control than just setting the
TextAlignment and/or ImageAlignment.

In my case I need fine control over image and text margins.
For example setting

ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft

places the image too close to the left border of the button.

Regards
Erwin

GripPanel

Good morning,

Could you please help me?

I am using a GripPanel downloaded from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/GripPanel.aspx . It let´s me make function the gripping of the form (resizing with the mouse from the bottom right corner)

The funcionality of the control in that page works very well when inheriting from "normal VS 2005" Form and RadForm. My problem is when inheriting from ShapedForm, it does not work ok and changing every form to RadForm is not an option.

Could you please tell me how I can make the grip control on that page work, or any other workaround for gripping control? as the gripping is not working on ShapedForms.

Thank you very much in advance,
Marco

SortOrder in Saved Layout

The SortOrder property doesn't seem to be getting saved in the XML produced by the GridView.SaveLayout function. If I set the SortOrder="Ascending" manually in the saved XML and then use GridView.LoadLayout, the sort is applied correctly. AllowSorting is set to true for all columns.

Saving RadToolStrip and other questions

Hi,
I have few questions regarding RadToolStrip.
1. If the user remove all ToolStripItems from the RadToolStrip then the RadToolStrip disappears (Which is fine) But how if your RadToolStrip is not visible now how can the user again add ToolStripItem in the RadToolStrip at runtime.

2.How can I restrict a Particular ToolStripItem not to be removes not even when the user tries to do so from “Add or Remove Buttons à Customize”. Ideally if I don’t allow can ToolStripItem to be remove it should not even display in “Add or Remove Buttons à Customize” Panel.

3.When a user remove all RadButtonElement from a ToolStripItem then ideally the ToolStripItem should be removed automatically and if the user again add any of its RadButtonElement then the ToolStripItem should reappear.

4.How can I save whole RadToolStrip (Its ToolStripItem, their location and RadButtonElement) so that if any user preferences should be saved.

P.S. I am working in VB 2005 enviroment

Regards,
Haroon.

ToolTip on Outlook-style panelbar groups

I've set tooltips for each group element, however, when the groups are collapsed into icons along the bottom in the Outlook style there is no tooltip on those icons. I'd like the little icons on the bottom to show the tooltip for that group element. Is this possible?
