Based on prior experience with past new releases of Telerik's Winforms controls, I uninstalled Q1 2008 prior to installing Q2 2008.  All went well with the uninstall of the old and the install of the new. 

Upon completion of the installation, I opened a sample Telerik project I'd downloaded a couple days ago that had NOT worked properly with Q1 2008 (this was related to http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/article/b454K-bagd-b454T-a-b454c-a.aspx) After the install of Q2 2008, (and after removing and re-adding Telerik references) that project worked as promised in this thread: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bkccac.aspx)  Also note (and this will become more important later) that the RadGridView was still visible in the designer.

THEN, I opened my client's solution which contains 6 projects.  Errors everywhere.  Okay fine... first thing to check is references.  While the reference path was the same as it had been for the Q1 2008 controls, the version number had changed from 6.1.0.0 to 7.0.0.0.  That's right and yet I had compile errors galore where previously I had none.  So... I went through and removed the 4 Telerik references I had in each of those 6 projects and re-added them.  All the compile errors went away.  Life was good... So I ran the solution...

It ran successfully.  BUT... First thing I noticed was that my RadGridView themes went from "blue" to "black" (I'd chosen the "Telerik" theme for nearly all of the Telerik controls in this solution).  I ignored that for the time being and went to test something  more critical which had supposedly been fixed on the RadGridView.  I found that it had indeed been fixed.  I then stopped the solution to investigate the sudden change in "look" (blue to black theming on the grids and also incorrect theming appearing on RadButton, RadComboBox and RadTabStrip controls.

I opened one of my existing forms containing all 4of the aforementioned Telerik controls in designer mode.  The RadButton, RadComboBox and RadTabStrip controls appeared but not ONE RadGridView appears!  Where did they go?  The app runs!  The grids appear at run-time but not design-time!  The RadButton, RadComboBox and RadTabStrip, while wrong in styling, still appear in design-mode!

I clicked on a SmartTag for a RadComboBox and selected the "Theme Name" dropdown.  Where before I had several choices, I'm now down to "Control Default" and "Reset".  Where did the other themes go?

The disappearance of themes is annoying but relatively minor when compared with the complete disappearance of the RadGridView from the designer!   You've just brought a critical project to a standstill!  I use those grids on the majority of the forms in my solution and they drive a lot of functionality!

HELP!  FAST!

Is it possible to set the charactercasing for TextBox or MaskedEdit columns like we can for the RadTextBoxEditor?

Hi,
I've been building a testing application as a front-end to an sql database.
I'm using a RadListBox control as a navigator of the underlying dataset.datatable and under certain circumstances
I'd like to forbid the user from changing the SelectedIndex.
I know that I could just disable the RadListBox when these circumstances are met and then re-enable it back when everything is
in the correct state to keep navigating.
The thing is that I don't like the look of the disabled state of the control (everything grayed out..).
As far as I know I could also customize the theme of RadListBox to make the disabled state look identical to the enabled.
But I'm not sure if this modified theme will override the default themes of all the other Rad Controls I have on the form / solution.

Anyway, I was looking for a more "by code" solution than repainting the theme.
The problem is that the RadListBox doesn't have a SelectedIndexChanging event (or something alike) that supports cancellation (just like the regular .NET ListBox).
I tried using the Enter event to change the focus to another form control (as I did in a previous test with a comboBox) but this doesn't work as expected.

Any info would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi,

Part of my app listens on the Selection event, however when the same node is clicked on agaIn this event does not fire. I call OnSelectionChanged() method. In your documentation it states it is for internal use only. Why is this? It works fine for me,

Hi,

it seems filtering isn't working when the column has a uniquename that is different from the field name. No filtering happens regardless of type of filter, isreadonly etc. The issue can easily be reproduced with your hard-coded demo data.

Can you confirm this or am I doing something wrong? Is there a workaround?

Thx & regards

Well, when I try to add the ribbonbar I get this message: RADError (External)
I am using Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1.
Also, I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with the RAD WinForms tools Q3 2008.

Is there any solution for this problem?


Thank You

Hi.
Now, I'm trying the Schedular with trial version, but it don't have documention...
Where is documention?

Thanks a lot

I recently upgraded to Q3 2008 SP1 RadControls, and now am observing the following issue.  If I enable MultiSelect on my grid, and then right-click below the existing rows (in the blank space after the last row) on the grid, I get an exception:

I was quite happy to see this addition in Q3 after waiting for it expectantly.

However , I cannot get it to work. I am adding screen tips as I always did
on the ribbonbar control previously (always worked fine). The screentip
never shows when I mouseover the control (radbutton).

I decided to trap the screentipneeded event and found that even though
the screentip was present in the designer, that the event found the item
to be a null.

I then tried programatically adding the screentip on application startup ,
this time the event showed that the screentip was not a null but a valid
screentip. Still the same problem though , the screentip never shows.

I assume I am missing something simplistic but I am doing nothing any
differently from before.

Can I access properties of this dialog?  For example, make the recurrence button invisible, seen as I can't save a recurrence rule.

Thanks,
Derek.
