Sizing issues

I am trying to make a form with two UserDockControl panels on it. The first should always be docked to the left and may be hidden or resized, but not closed. Ideally I would like to have a minimum size on this dock so that it always looks nice and contains everything it should. But I must be able to initialize the width so that when the form first shows up, it shows up with enough space. The second panel will have an image displayed, so it needs to take all of the available space.

Right now on my form I am using

dockingManager.SetDock(LargeUserDockControl, DockPosition.Fill);
dockingManager.SetDock(SmallUserDockControl, DockPosition.Left);

What happens is that the LargeUserDockControl takes up too much space. I have tried setting the size of SmallUserDockControl just about every where I can think. I've tried changing PreferredSize, PreferredDockSize, MinSize, MinimumSize. Any ideas?

Conditional Binding for Custom Objects

Hi,

I'm trying to bind a list of custom objects with 3 properties: 1) TimeElapsed, 2) ActivityName, 3) ActivityType to create a Line Chart.

TimeElapsed is bound to the Y axis.
ActivityName is bound to the X axis.

Is it possible to bind/filter based on this third ActivityType property? For example, if I just want to bind for ActivityType=Running, how would I go about doing this without manipulating my list manually.

Thanks,
JP

Chart (obsolete as of Q1 2013)

Installation Issue

Hi,

i installed the trial version of radcontrols for winforms 2008 Q3.

I have a windows server 2008 x64 and visual studio 2008 professional.

All went well (toolbox integration etc) except the fact that the installer created two folders on the c: drive.

VS2005INSTALLDIR with the templates inside

VS2005PUBASM with the asseblies.

Is this trial installer suitable for visual studio 2008 ? Or its a problem of the os?

(Maybe at the installation you are looking for environment variables for visual studio 2005 and since it cannot find them it creates the folders in c: with the names above.)

Is there any workaround to get a correct installation? (Maybe creating the paths for this variables??)

Regards,

SM

What am I doing wrong?
What do I need to set to have the forecolor show?

Thanks, Chris

RadGridView & validating DataTable Rows

Hi,

I have this super-simple DataTable, and using this for DataSource for my RadGridView.

Everything looks fine, the columns are auto-generated and works fine; that's until I decide to add some rows.

If I don't fill in all columns for the row I get this error message: "Column 'XXXXX' does not allow nulls."

I know what this error is, but I find NOWAY in RadGridView to either give my users a message or prevent the row for being added to my DataTable.

How should I proceed?
