Hi,

I have to dynamically create a RadTabStrip control inside form (form MDI application).
I used this code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTabStrip radTabStrip = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTabStrip();

radTabStrip.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(191)))), ((int)(((byte)(219)))), ((int)(((byte)(254)))));
radTabStrip.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem t1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem("Tab 1");
Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem t2 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem("Tab 2");
Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem t3 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabItem("Tab 3");

radTabStrip.Items.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.RadItem[] { t1, t2, t3 });

t1.ContentPanel.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
t2.ContentPanel.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
t3.ContentPanel.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

Button b1, b2, b3;
b1 = new Button(); b2 = new Button(); b3 = new Button();
b1.Text = "Bottone 1"; b2.Text = "Bottone 2"; b3.Text = "Bottone 3";
t1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(b1);
t2.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(b2);
t3.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(b3);

radTabStrip.TabsPosition = Telerik.WinControls.UI.TabPositions.Bottom;

this.Controls.Add(radTabStrip);
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This code works, but the control isn't displayed fine! In particular tab buttons are not displayed as they are displayed when i use designer to create RadTabStrip.

What is the best way to solve my problem?
Thank you very much for support.

I have a date column which is in MM/dd/yyyy format. This doesnt sort ascending or descending for all the grids in my application. I am sure what I have done is right. Still it doesnt sort right when I click on header. Please help. One way of doing it is after binding the data source by adding

radgvSixMonthPurchases.Columns[

"transactionDate"].FormatString = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}";

and othe way is through cell formatting like:

private void radgvSixMonthPurchases_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e){
if (e.CellElement is GridDataCellElement)
{
Font font = new Font("Tahoma", 6.75F);
e.CellElement.Font = font;
if (((GridViewDataColumn)e.CellElement.ColumnInfo).FieldName == "transactionDate")
{
if (!e.CellElement.Text.StartsWith("0:"))
{
DateTime temp = DateTime.Parse(e.CellElement.Text);
e.CellElement.Text = temp.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
}
Font newfont = new Font("Tahoma", 7, FontStyle.Underline);
e.CellElement.Font = newfont;
e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
}
}

When I use simple wrapper of RadTreeView in our company namespace the component looks different:

namespace ComponentWrappers

{

  public class RadTreeView: Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeView

  {

  }

}

ComponentWrappers namespace is on the left, Telerik.WinControls.UI is on the right:

How to make component from ComponentWrappers.RadTreeView look like native Telerik control?

I'm having a theme issue regarding a rad scroll bar that is dynamically added to a custom component.

I have loaded the RadThemeManager and am able to check the count to see in fact that the RadThemeManager is loaded with our themes, everything looks to be loaded as expected.

I create the RadVScrollBar control and set correct the theme name.

However, when the page is loaded the scroll bar is still using the default theme.  Here are some code excerpts:

    public partial class ThumbViewer : RadPanel
    {
        public ThumbViewer()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // This will get all the themes loaded into a theme manager
            themeEngine = new APCM.App_Code.ThemeEngine();
            radThemeManager = themeEngine.GetControlThemes();
            MessageBox.Show(radThemeManager.LoadedThemes.Count.ToString());
            
            // Create and add the scrollbar
            scroll = new RadVScrollBar();
            scroll.ThemeName = "OurTheme";
            scroll.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
            scroll.ValueChanged += new EventHandler(scroll_ValueChanged);
            MessageBox.Show(scroll.ThemeName);
        }
    }

Like I said, the rad scroll bar is NOT loaded with the expected theme.

Thanks In Advance,
Josh
