Set Tooltip of RadDropDownButton Text dynamically.

Hi,

I need to set tooltip of RadDropDownButton text dynamically. Actually, I tried Tooltip event of RadDropDownButton and it set tooltip also. But as application is multi lingual and user can change language at run time without restatring the application. But now Tooltip of RadDropDownButton text remains same as of earlier language. Please suggest what should i do to reflect correct tooltip.

Thanks in advance.

Refreshing the grid

Hi :o)

I'm just starting out with your winforms toolkit and having lots of fun with the grid which is brilliant.

What I'm having a job with is refreshing it when returning from a details screen. I've got it working ok but when restoring the select row to the position before I update it jumps around and doesn't look professional.

This is how I'm doing it - is there a better way

Dim Pos As Integer = Me.RadGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex

Me.ClientsListTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Clients.ClientsList)

Me.RadGridView1.CurrentRow = Me.RadGridView1.Rows(Pos)

Many thanks and well done on a great set of tools

Child Grid Column widths

I can't find original post. This is what you wrote:

Hello DP,

Thank you for writing.

I do not know exactly what is your scenario, but the reason for the described behavior is that the child template columns are generated again in run-time. In this way they lose their settings made in design-time. I suppose that maybe you use AutoGenerate hierarchy from datasource or you change binding in run-time. I have tested a hierarchy scenario when I have done all the settings by the PropertyBuilder.

I have created manually child templates and relation and everything works as expected. ChildTemplate column settings have been preserved.

To provide you with further assistance I need more information about your scenario. It will be very helpful if you send me an example application that demonstrates the issue. On order to allow you attachments I have moved your topic in our support system.

I am looking forward for your reply.

All the best,

You are right, I do use AutoGenerateHierarchyFromDataSet = True.

I have to set this at run time. Can you give sample code for setting widths of columns and hiding columns of the Child Grid at run time.

Thanks ... DP

Inheriting from RadListbox disables listbox! Why?

Hello!

I feel as if I am going mad here.
I am using the windows forms rad listbox, but I wanted to add a custom property to it, so I created a custom control and inherited like so:

    
            public partial class ElementTypeRadListBox : RadListBox   
        
                {  
        
                    public ElementTypeRadListBox()  
        
                    {  
        
                        InitializeComponent();  
        
                    }  
        
                   public ProductCreatorEnums.ElementType ElementType { get; set; }  
        
                }

Very very simple, and this has worked perfectly fine when I have done it on radlistItems and various other controls.
The problem is only with the listbox.. when I put it on my form it appears as if it is disabled. The box appears in a light orange in design view and when I run the project the items I am binding appear in the listbox, but I cannot select them.

Please please tell me what I am doing wrong!
Am I not allowed to inherit from the RadListBox, is this something that happens when you do?

Thank you so much in advance.

RadPanel copy/paste problem

I have a problem with RadPanel and copy/paste operations in VS2008. The copied panel does not contains any of the controls, which were in original panel. Also theme information is missing.

Is there any workaround? It makes use of RadPanel very difficult, if you want to use it as a container.

best regards

[Solved] Calculations in the Group Header

I am working on a project that handles budgets. When someone makes a budge adjustment they can have multiple transactions per Account.

I have created a gridview to display these transactions, this grid is grouped by Account.

I would like to add the Account total to the group-by expresion, however it would be represented by beginningBalance+Sum(TransactionAmounts) . Are you able to do this type of calculation in the group header?
