Hello,
I have 3 documentPane in my DockingManager
I would like to know what event to use when a documentPane is selected?
I try MyDocumentPane_Activate, but for some reason, the code is always executed more than once. (and I need to execute this code only once) . it'S the same with MyDocumentPane_GotFocus and ReportDockingManager_DockTabChanged

Planned SP schedule for 2008 Q2

Is there a further SP for 2008 Q2 planned?

Will the unusable master/detail editing in GridView be fixed in Q3?

I'm currently working on a prototype that I would like to release to a broader public for usability tests - the question is should I wait for an SP/Q3 or should I implement work-arounds.

regards
erwin

Grid Features (Self referencing hierarchy and Column sets)

Greetings!

I have been using the Telerik ASP.NET stuff for some time, and have been fiddling around with the Silverlight and for those two, I say two thumbs up!

Recently I have been taking more than a cursory peek at the WinForms controls, because of an ongoing project where I had wanted to use them, and I can't seem to manage to find how to set the grid to self referencing hierarchy.

The data is fairly simple, just a dummy class with an Id and a ParentId:

                        public class SelfRefTest         
                {         
                    public int Id { get; set; }         
                    public int? ParentId { get; set; }         
                    public string Text { get; set; }         
                    public string Text2 { get; set; }         
                    public string Text3 { get; set; }         
                }         

Which should be bound and displayed like this...

The second scenario is Column Sets, where I could stack columns ontop of each other in a complex layout, like this...

Are these two highly valuable and highly desirable features (nudge, nudge, hint, hint) not supported, or am I missing something?

AutoGenerateHierarchy - Expand ChildRelation horizontaly

Hi there.

I generate a GridView from a DataSet that contains two related tables. The relation between the two is intepreted by

GridView.AutoGenerateHierarchy = true;

All of this works like a charm. The only issue is that I don´t know how to make the hierarchical child stretch columns to full width. Although the Grid itself stretches to full width, the child relation does not inherit this and the colums are too narrow.

Put simple - How to stretch child colums to the full width? Everything is generated programmatically from DataSets.

Please also the screenshot in the thread below...

Thanks!
El

GridViewComboBoxColumn - How to set DropDownSizingMode?

Hi!

I'm writing an app that uses a RadGridView for massive data input. Some of the values are chosen from combo box columns.

I've tried using a cast to (RadComboBoxItem) of the default editor of the columns to set the DropDownSizingMode, but to no avail...

This would be great for me as the user sometimes can not see the fullness of the descriptions in the dropdown...

Is this possible to be achieved?

Thanks!!

MultiColumn combo suggestions

I have following suggestions regarding multicolumn combo. I'm sure you're already in process of implementing some of them.

auto-complete functionality is vital for this control
when user selects value (or writes down value, which is in the list), when dropdown is opened, displayed list (grid) should have row with that value selected. This behavior is in RadComboBox and it's very important in multi column combo too.
there is BestFitColumns() function which adjusts width of columns but something that would adjust dropdown width according to width of columns is lacking and would help.
there is one annoying thing - when you click on dropdown button of combo (that arrow which displays dropdown) when you are in process of validation of some control (you didn't validate control in Validating event handler by setting e.Cancel = true), multicolumn combo dropdown is still displayed. I'll submit this as a bug too, because it is causing me problems and is not expected behavior (nor standard .NET combobox control behaves this way).

I hope my input will help something and I'm looking forward to seeing this new control evolve.

Best regards,
Daniel

adding lines to GridView

I construct the list of 3 my objects and attach it to the GridView. As a result all 3 lines shows the first item: "aa". DataBound of all 3 lines is OK but display does not work OK. Here is my code below:

eeList =

new List<MedCheckEntry>();

MedCheckEntry i1 = new MedCheckEntry();

i1.ReferenceNo =

"aa";

eeList.Add(i1);

MedCheckEntry i2 = new MedCheckEntry();

i2.ReferenceNo =

"bbb";

eeList.Add(i2);

MedCheckEntry i3 = new MedCheckEntry();

i3.ReferenceNo =

"ccc";

eeList.Add(i3);

gridView.MasterGridViewTemplate.DataSource = eeList;

Remove items from default context menu

Hi,

I'm using the default context menu for the RadGrid in our application. It has all teh features the customer needs but there are 2 little issues:

- The menu item "edit" still appears in the default menu even when Editing is disabled. Shouldn't that be removed automatically?

- The only item(s) I want to remove from the context menu are copy and paste. The user doesn't need to do that and it produces an error when he copies a text or a number into a DateField. Sure I can validate that in the code but I would rather remove the two items.

Is ist possible to remove the items and keep the default menu or do I have to create a custom only because of that?

Thanks
