Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

Hello,

We have a lot of controls that don't fit on one screen. Instead of using tabs I am thinking about purchasing the Rotator control. However, I have a few questions.

Is it possible to put panels with controls on the Rotator and then rotate from one panel to another ?

Is it possible to programmatically do the rotating, without using a timer, so the user has full control ?

Many thanks.

Hoizontal Panelbar (Blades)

I have seen a few posts on this but nothing solid. I would like to create a UI in my Winforms app that resembles the Xbox 360 Dashboard blades... Somewhat a left to right panelbar.

Is there a way to use the control in this fashion? If not, does anyone have any pointers on where to start on creating something like this (I do have the source code for the controls)...

Thanks in advance,

- Adam

Auto scroll or programmatically scroll

Is there any way to automatically scroll items? I see the AutoScroll property but when I set it to true it doesn't seem to do anything.

Multiple cell-types in a column

Hello,
I would like to use the RadGridview in a similar way as the PropertyGrid, using Reflections.
This will require me to have a column with a lot of different types (string, Datetime, TypeConverter etc.), is it possible to give each cell a unique editor?

Thanks,

Joel

Dual Monitors Full Screen

Hi,

I seem to be having an issue with the maximize fullscreen of a RadForm and dual monitors.

I have two monitors with the resolutions of 1050x1680 and 1280x1024.

When I set the form to maximized on the first monitor it is fine. But when I try to maximize the RadForm on the second monitor it will stretch across both monitors and not draw the controls on the form correctly.

I have to right click on the task bar and select restore to get the window back. But even then the controls are not redrawn. Only after I resize the form by the grip bar do the controls repaint.

Is this a known issue?

On a different subject is there a way to search other peoples support tickets?
I generally use the forums to search for the issue I am having and if I can't find anything in the forums then I will post on the forum and may send a support ticket too if I need an urgent solution.

But most of the time I think I may have posted the same query as someone else sending a support ticket. If there was a way to search a knowledge base of support tickets that have been resolved it may reduce the amount of support tickets you need to answer.

Thank you

Adrian

BubbleBar to be released as control?

Hello Telerik people. I'm wondering if you are planning to create a BubbleBar control that will appear in the toolbox. I think this is a great feature and really adds a lot of POP to an application.

If so, then let me go a step further and ask if you have a standard set of BubbleBar icons such as Open, Save, Delete, Search, Print, Page Left, Page Right, Page Up, Page Down, Configuration (gears), Help, etc..

..okay, the icons may be asking a bit much but I would really, really, really like to see the BubbleBar control implemented.

What do you think?

Winforms setting focus to textbox

Hello,

I have a RadTextBoxElement within a RadToolStripItem. When a specific button is pressed I want the text box to receive focus, but the focus method returns false (and doesn't do anything).
I have tried setting CanFocus, Enabled and Visibility to true and visible but the focus method still doesn't work. Any ideas on how to make it work?

RadGridViewExcelExporter with formatting / filtering + VirtualMode

Hello!
Many of my users would like to export formatted / filtered data from a datagrid and into Excel. Is there any way of solving this?

Does the datagrid support VirtualMode? I could not find any property similar to this. Or any event similar to the default DataGridViews's CellValueNeeded.

If it is not possible in this version, I would like to send a request for it.

RadGridView Q1-2008 Sp1 Column missing

Greetings:

Before Q1-2008 SP1 I loaded my radGridView with a DataSet in the DataSource property. After Q1-2008 SP1 that throws a low-level error. So, I started loading the grid via the 'MasterGridViewTemplate.LoadFrom' method.

It works except that the columns I previously added manually through code, including an additional Command column, are now replaced by the columns from the DataReader being passed to the LoadFrom method. Before the LoadFrom my column count is 6 (including my Command column) and after the LoadFrom it is 5 (the number of columns in the DataSet).

QUESTION:

How can I keep the columns that I manually added ?

Please advise ASAP

Thanks,

Robb Murdock

Treeview style Radgrid...

Hello,

I have an xml document such as this:

    
            <Message> 
        
                <SequenceNumber>1</SequenceNumber>

                        <Address />

                                <UserField1>Order Comments</UserField1> 
        
                                <UserField2 />

                        </TestOrder> 
        
                    </CustomerIdentifyingRecord> 
        
                </CustomerIdentifying> 
        
            </Message>

Can I display this data in a hierarchical radgridview where child records/tables of "Message" can be both "Comment" tables and "CustomerIdentifyingRecord" tables?

Simply loading the xml as a dataset does not appear to be sufficient.

Is this possible with the radgridview?

Thanks

GridView
