Office 2007 Themes Quirk

I have used the RadTitleBar with the Office 2007 theme and dragging a window works fine. If I select Office 2007 Blue / Black / Silver on a RadForm I am unable to drag the window by clicking on the left side of the titlebar. In other words I have to click where the Form Caption is or anywhere to the right of it.

Is this a bug with the RadForm or an issue with the theme itself?

Property Builder in Vista 64 under Visual Basic environment crashes

Hi Friends,

I am trying to utilize the Property Builder functionality in VS 2008 running under windows Vista 64. Specifically I am using the Visual Basic environment in Visual Studio, and when I am trying to parametrize properties for the RadGridView Control usin Property Builder nothing happens. Property Builder opens up fine, I make all the necessary changes I want, but when I press OK the program closes and no changes are transfered to the control in the form. Any ideas?

Regards,

George

Rad Timeline

I'm not sure what sort of commerciability it would have, but a timeline control (a-la) http://www.dipity.com/user/tatercakes/timeline/Internet_Memes would be pretty cool. Perhaps it is something that could fit in Rad Scheduler, or in Rad chart as well.

Programmatically Selecting the Highlighted Item

Hi Guys,

How do I programmatically select the highlighted item?

We have implemented buttons on our grid. Please refer to http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/radmenuitem-in-radgridview-events.aspx for the code.

Currently the user must select the row before they can click the button. We have added code to the mouseover the change the radgrid icon and button color.

    
             void lblLabel_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        
                    {  
        
                        this.gvManageDocs.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;  
        
                        ((RadLabelElement)sender).ForeColor = Color.Red;  
        
                    }

What I would like to do is when the user hovers over a button to auto select the row so they only have to click once to activate the button.

How do I do that?

NullReferenceException on RightClick event.

Hi,

we integrated GridView into a application and added a standard ContextMenu. When clicking on items in the GridView everything seems perfectly fine, but a click onto free space in the GridView results in an Exception:

                    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.         
                     
            System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object         
            at         
            Telerik.WinControls.UI.BaseGridBehavior.OnMOuseDownRight(MouseEventArgs e)         
            at         
            Telerik.WinControls.UI.BaseGridBehavior.OnMOuseDown(MouseEventArgs e)         
            at         
            Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView.OnMOuseDownRight(MouseEventArgs e)         
            at         
            System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseDown(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clickt)         
            at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m)         
            at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m)         
            at Telerik.WinControls.RadControl.WndProc(Message& m)         
            at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)         
            at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)         
            at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)         

We also discovered what seems to be a major problem to the GridView Designer. If you add a System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu to the GridView using the Designer, save this state and try to re-open the Designer Visual Studio suddenly crashes..

Best wishes,

[Solved] Customize ContextMenu of TabItem

What is the best way to go about customizing what options appear when you right click on a tab in a docking manager? I know its possible to show/hide the context menu via the TdiContextMenuVisible property. Ultimately what I want to do is remove the ability of users to create their own tab groups. I like the "Close All Tabs Except for this" option and would like for that to remain.

Thanks in advance.

[Solved] radTabStrip DragDrop

I am trying to implment the ability for another control to drag and drop onto tabs in a radTabStrip. I have been able to implment most of it, but am having difficulty determining which tab the user dropped on.

I would have thought I could put the following code in the DragDrop event of the TabStrip, but the GetItemByPoint always returns nothing, even when tabs were dropped on.

    
            Dim tab As Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem  
        
            tab = radTabStrip.TabStripElement.GetItemByPoint(New Point(e.X, e.Y))  
        
            If tab IsNot Nothing Then  
        
                MsgBox(tab.Name)  
        
            End If

Any help would be appreciated.

I am using VB.NET in VS2008

Thank you -- controls are still fantastic

DropDownButton Question

is the following possible:

i want to have a DropDownButton, but the drop down menu should only collapse, when the arrow part of the button is pressed.
Pressing the "Image" area of the button, the Click event for the button should be fired.

i have not found any way to find out whether tzhe arrow part has been pressed or not.

Edit: Just to make more clear what i want. Look at the "Paste" button in Word. Wenn cou click on it, it does a simple paste, when you click the arrow part it offers some options.
A Gallery could do it, but unfortunately a Gallery Element can't co-exist with other items in the same chunk. At least not in the version i'm using (the one that MS publishes oin the VC# express site).
It doesn't show me the arrow elements. when being the only element in a chunk it is ok.
