I have two separate ComboBoxColumns on a RadGrid. The grid is bound to a collection of business objects. I have tried, through the Property Builder and in the code, to set the data-source of each column to a different binding source. The binding sources are the same business object, but different collections.

When editing the values of the columns, the drop downs for the different columns are both showing the same list. Some executions of the application will show one list, other executions will show the other list. Is it only possible to have one source for combobox's dropdowns?

Thank you!

[Solved] RadLabel Theming

I have created a new theme and in that theme I want the RadLabel to default with a transparent background.

I assumed this was the backcolor of the Fillprimitive , but that has not worked.

I then went as far as to make the backcolor of all the primitives and even the rootelement itself transparent , but still when I apply the new theme the backcolor is always that of 'control'.

So my first question is , is this bugged or am I missing something and secondly which is in fact the correct property to set for this ? (ie: the backcolor belonging to which primitive?)

MenuSeparatorItem Vista Theme

This is probably a ridiculous request but I am at my wits end trying to get this to work. I am using VS2008 and am using the Vista theme on a WinControls RadMenu.

When I add a radMenuSeparator item to my RadMenuItem it does not show up. I have tried modding the original Vista theme in the VisualStyleBuilder but I can not get a separator to appear. Help would be much appreciated.

and saved it into my project directory.
afterwards I dragged a new themeManager onto my application and "LoadedThemes"-property, loaded the new created theme.

but when I click on my radGridView and try to select the new theme, it isnt in the list.
Am I missing someting? Wasted almost 2 hours trying around, please give me advise.
Thank you

Best regards

Tooltip for TextBoxes inside RadGridView

Hi,

I would like to add tooltips to textboxes when I click in a cell inside RadGridView. I subscribed to the RadGridView.CellFormatting event and did the following, but it doesn't seem to work:

private void rgvEditor_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CellElement.ChildrenHierarchy.Count > 0)
            {
                foreach (RadElement element in e.CellElement.ChildrenHierarchy)
                {
                    if (element is RadTextBoxItem)
                    {
                        RadTextBoxItem textBoxItem = (RadTextBoxItem)element;
                        textBoxItem.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
                        textBoxItem.AutoToolTip = true;
                        textBoxItem.ToolTipText = "hello";
                    }
                }
            }

Can you help me?

Thanks,

number of digits

Hi,

why does RadGridView round values if I click inside a cell in a column whose underlying data type is double?

For example, one of the cell has a value of 1,234567 from a data source. If I click in the cell to edit it, and the textbox appears, I would like to see explicitly 1,234567 and not a rounded value like 1,23.

If I set a format string for that column, that's ok. Show 1,23. But not when I want to edit the value. By the way, if I set a format string to show only two digits, I will never ever know the precise value!

How can I help this behavior?

Thanks,
Tamás

Resize ShapedForm?

Is there any way to have ShapedForm resizable like a standard windows form, without adding a StatusStrip to the form? It seems the problem is that the ShapedForm has a FormBorderStyle set to None, but changing this to anything else shows the windows form titlebar.
