hi is there any help for the scheduler control? I couldn't find any. I was looking for a tutorial which reads appointments from the database.

Thanks,

Themes Colour Blending

I recently installed the Q3 components and really like the themes colour blending addition.
I attempted to use this in a test app I created to test the new features.

Now this is really simple code (love it) but for some reason I cannot get it to work.

I have a form that inherits radform. I have a ribbonbar (pointless but just for testing) , a status
bar and a button. The button , statusbar and form all use the desert theme and the ribbonbar
the standard blue theme. I attempt to apply the colour blending after the button is clicked.
The code for it is as follows.

public partial class frmMain : RadForm
{
private Theme currentTheme;
private const string baseColorParamName = "BaseColor";

public frmMain()
{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

  currentTheme = ThemeResolutionService.GetTheme("Desert");
  HslColor baseColor = HslColor.FromAhsl(0.118, 0.9, 0.9);
  currentTheme.AddColorBlend(baseColorParamName,baseColor);
  currentTheme.ThemeProperties[baseColorParamName] = baseColor;
}

}

The code generates no errors and the form borders sort of flicker as it happens,
the colour blending however has no effect. I assume I am missing something
simple but the code above barring the moving of some lines to a single proc,
is identical to that in the examples.

Could anyone shed some light on what I am doing incorrectly ?

Connecting to a Datasource ?

HI,
I posted earlier but decided to make a new thread. Seen as there is no documentation yet, I was wondering, is there a tutorial on how to use a datasource with the scheduler? I need the appointments to be persistent. It would be really great to see the scheduler working in conjunction with a database. If I can do this, then my employer will proceed to purchase the controls suite.

Thanks,
Derek.

Possible To Add A User Control To A Grid Column

Is it possible to Add A User Control To A Grid Column?

I need a grid which for each row the user needs to choose an from one of two radio button options.

Item              Buy/Sell
Cars       [ ] [ ]
Dogs         [ ] [ ]
Houses          [ ] [ ]

I figured a user control would be the easiest way to do this but I could really use an example? Experimentation makes me think it's not possible as I can only add a RadElement item to the CellElement.Children() collection?

My fallback position was to try adding to RadioButtons to the same cell and I adapted the Telerik progressbar example in this regard.. see below for method called from CellFormatting event.   Seems to work so far as long as I define a new location when adding the second element as by default it appears on top of the first element; still, I'm not sure how well this general approach will workout when I start applying more logic and controls.. is a user control a no-go?

Cheers
Ewart.

    
              private void AddRadio(CellFormattingEventArgs gCell) 
        
                  { 
        
                     if (gCell.CellElement.Children.Count > 0) 
        
                        return; 
        
                     RadRadioButtonElement element = new RadRadioButtonElement(); 
        
                     gCell.CellElement.Children.Add(element); 
        
                     // apply theme to the progress bar   
        
                     ApplyThemeToElement(element, "Aqua"); 
        
                  }

TabControl selectedItem not showing

Hi,
I was hoping that when I select a tab using the overflow drop down it would select the tab in the first position (0) as described in the post (Unexpected behavior when using overflow button). However, this is not happening and the tab that is selected is not visible at all. Is there a way to get this to work?
Thanks,
Nik

Any way to scroll to a tab that is hidden from the scroll area?

I have a tab strip control that has a dynamic amount of tabs. Autoscroll is set to true so that if there is more tabs then there is space to show all tabs, I can scroll back and forth to find the tab I need. The user is also given the ability to add new tabs as is necessary. When a new tab is created by the user, I want to make it the currently selected tab, and bring focus to the first control on that tab page. I have been able to successfully select the new tab by using tabstrip.SelectedTab = tabstrip.Items(tabstrip.Items.Count - 1). The problem I have is that sometimes the new tab is way off on the right side, and is hidden from sight because there are too many tabs. Is there some kind of function like ScrollToTab() or some way that I can programatically scroll to that last tab so that I can see it if it is off the screen?
