Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

I found an interesting bug with a RadTitleBar placed on a ShapedForm. This is on Q2 2008 SP1, so it may have been fixed in Q3, I don't know.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a form to a windows form project
2. Change the form to inherit from ShapedForm (add the necessary references)
3. Drop a RadTitlebar on the form, Dock it to the top
4. Drop a RadMenu on the form, Add a menu item or two
5. Add a submenu or two if you want to each menu item
6. Run the project.
7. Now, click and hold on one of the menu items. Then drag your mouse across the titlebar. Your form will move too!!!

Can someone confirm in this is in the Q3 release? I have it downloaded but haven't had time to install it yet.
Thanks!!

Where is RadListView?

I saw some references to RadListView in the latest WinControls documentation. The control doesn't show up in my toolbox. Is this going to be fully documented and implemented at some point in the future?

Thanks,

Adam

RadButton: only right side border

Hello experts!
Look, I created a theme for a RadPanel in which only the top border is showed, the other 3 have a transparent color.
I need to do something like that with a RadButton but it seems to be impossible.

Is there any way to accomplish that?

Thanks!

Autogenerated Columns

Hi, I'm new on RadGridView , i need to have the grid in design view with the columns generated, and from code fill the grid, it's OK but at runtime it creates twice each column, i'm looking for MasterGridViewTemplate.Autogenetarecolumns in properties window to set it to false but i can't find it, where shoud it be? or is there other way to prevent duplicating the columns?

I'm using Q2 2008 for winforms.

UPDATE::

RESOLVED:
I was looking in the wrong place (design view) i used in code "GridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = False" , that resolved this issue, many thanks!!!

Roberto.

[Solved] Update of text/value on NewRow at CellEndEdit event does not reflect changes

Dear Telerik team,

I have an event handle on the RadGridView.CellEndEdit event;

Its purpose is to look up a value from the database by the value entered in that cell and overwrite it with the value returned from the database.

Scenario and implementation:

User creates a new row in the grid and enters 'ABC' as value for the 1st column//cell. Then they press ENTER which will cause the radGridView1_CellEndEdit to be invoked.

private void radGridView1_CellEndEdit(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    int rowIndex = e.RowIndex; //is -1, since it's a new row
    int columnIndex = e.ColumnIndex; //is 0, since it's the 1st column that's being editited by the user.
    GridViewRowInfo row = this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.CurrentRow; //The only way to get the row (since rowindex => -1)
    string cellText = row.Cells[0].CellElement.Text; //is 'ABC', as entered by the user
    string cellValue = (string)row.Cells[0].Value; /is <Null> ??????
    row.Cells[0].Text = string.Join(",", new string[] { cellText, cellText }); //Concatenats into 'ABC,ABC' and overwites the cells text with that.
}

Now when you look at the cell on screen, you'll see that it still presenting it as 'ABC'.

Remarks.
1) Setting the Cell value does not help in any way.
2) The code above does work if the row is not a new row.
3) If the grid is under VirtualMode = true, then NO text can be read from that cell in the snippet.

I would like to know what is there to do to have the value/text being overwitten on CellEndEdit' in case of a NEW row. It's a key requirement for the application I'm working on.

Kind regards,

Jack

Can't find TypeConverter

Hi,

I use the DockingManager in my project.
The line

Me.DockingManager = New Telerik.WinControls.Docking.DockingManager

causes about 20 MessageBoxes to pop up saying "Can't find TypeConverter to string for animation step of type Telerik.WinControls.ColorAnimationStep"
After that everything seems to be working fine.
This happens only on machines where Telerik is not installed. Machines with RadControlsWinforms_Q3_2007 don't show any MessageBoxes.

I hope you can give me any advice,

Thanks,
Chris

Update WinForms Installer

I've seen how beautiful the AJAX suite installer has been over the past releases. It looks so cool! I would like it if all of your product suites (or at least WinForms, to start!) used such gorgeous installer templates. If it's not already something in your roadmap, I would definitely consider it. Installing programs is a really mundane task, and enhancing the UX during that stage would be great.

Regards,

Inheriting RadComboBox

Azdravei (and apologies for mangling your words),

I am trying to inherit from the RadComboBox in my winform project. For starters, I simply created a class that inherited the RadComboBox and placed an instance of it on a form, right next to the original, uninherited RadComboBox. The two controls look radically different, with my inherited version looking like a broken misfit unworthy of the name Telerik.

I would like to know how to properly inherit and extend Rad controls. In my case, I simply want to add a field and property to the ComboBox to remember its previous SelectedIndex.

Thank you,
Guillaume
