Can't seem to set FormatString for currency

Hi

I am trying to set the FormatString for a column in GridView.

I have tried "{0:C}" and "{C}", but it does not seem to retain the value.

I have even tried entering the format string into the designer but with no success.

Is this a know problem ? Or am I doing something wrong ?

Kind Regards

CaptionHeight on RadPanelBarGroupElement

Hello,

I am designing an application for touchscreens.
I would like to set the height of the radpanelbargroupelement a bit bigger so that it is a bit easier to click on it.

CaptionHeight only has a getter, so i would like to know how i can set the height of the control at runtime (preferably).

thanks,

walter

Toolstrip User Error

I have only had the WinForms product for 2 and a half days so this is probably a beginners issue. However, I have been at this non-stop the whole time. So this isn't a give up and ask too quick deal. I have had issues with visibilty changing automatically between runs, images offset by 10 or 15 pixels and I can't change the setting, and a myriad of other issue. So this morning I backed off a simplified things. I opened a new project, added a toolstrip, an element, an item, and both a button and imagebutton element. Sometimes I can add an image sometimes it dies there, but other times I'll try and set image alignment or image over text and the Visual studion crashes. I usually get the image in, it seems the first edit (I didn't change names or settings on the first three pieces) and Visual studio asks me if I want to report the problem.

It's got to be something simple right? I have begun to be daring with the product. Thanks

Hide Add new Row/Column

I'm using the radcontrol for windows 2007 Q1.
I put a toolstrip control in a base windows then I inherited it and I design the form.
The toolstrip has the "Hide Add new Row/Column" command on an empty strip.
It's very annoyng because it's easy to click on it when trying to select a component. It creates a new strip, and the only way to delete it is to go in the designer.vb because I can't edit inherited components.
Is there any way to disable that command. It gives us a lot a problems in designing forms.
Thanks a lot!

[Solved] Breaking Changes in TreeView 2008Q2 - Nodes.Add

2008Q2 throws an exception if you add the same TreeNode twice to a Nodes
collection, while 2008Q1 allowed (or silently ignored) this.

Actually found a coding error in my test app, where the same child node
was added multiple times. The exception message could be friendlier ....

Grouping and Sorting

I am having a problem grouping by a certain column and ordering by a different column. When I group by a column it puts them in alphabetical order. I want the rows in a different order. For example...

I'm using XML similar to this to populate the gridview...

    
            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
        
            <RootElement xmlns:mstns="http://tempuri.org/RootElement.xsd">  
        
                <System> 
        
                    <ID>681F04EF-80CD-47FE-AC8C-5DC497E2BDCD</ID> 
        
                    <Name>String</Name> 
        
                    <Owner>String</Owner> 
        
                    <Services>String</Services> 
        
                    <SystemType>Beta</SystemType> 
        
                    <OrderNum>1</OrderNum> 
        
                    <DateLastModified>2001-12-17T09:30:47.0Z</DateLastModified> 
        
                </System> 
        
                <System> 
        
                    <ID>CCA76E63-B4B5-4AA4-A5BD-E8A1D83A0C91</ID> 
        
                    <Name>String</Name> 
        
                    <Owner>String</Owner> 
        
                    <Services>String</Services> 
        
                    <SystemType>Zeta</SystemType> 
        
                    <OrderNum>2</OrderNum> 
        
                    <DateLastModified>2001-12-17T09:30:47.0Z</DateLastModified> 
        
                </System> 
        
                <System> 
        
                    <ID>CCA76E63-B4B5-4AA4-A5BD-E8A1D83A0C91</ID> 
        
                    <Name>String</Name> 
        
                    <Owner>String</Owner> 
        
                    <Services>String</Services> 
        
                    <SystemType>Alpha</SystemType> 
        
                    <OrderNum>3</OrderNum> 
        
                    <DateLastModified>2001-12-17T09:30:47.0Z</DateLastModified> 
        
                </System> 
        
                <System> 
        
                    <ID>CCA76E63-B4B5-4AA4-A5BD-E8A1D83A0C91</ID> 
        
                    <Name>String</Name> 
        
                    <Owner>String</Owner> 
        
                    <Services>String</Services> 
        
                    <SystemType>Kappa</SystemType> 
        
                    <OrderNum>4</OrderNum> 
        
                    <DateLastModified>2001-12-17T09:30:47.0Z</DateLastModified> 
        
                </System> 
        
            </RootElement>

I'm using the OrderNum as a way to determine which order I want them showing up in the gridview. So I want to see the list like this...

Beta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Beta group)
Zeta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Zeta group)
Alpha
    (All of the rows that fall into the Alpha group)
Kappa
    (All of the rows that fall into the Kappa group)

If I don't use OrderNum at all I get...
Alpha
    (All of the rows that fall into the Alpha group)
Beta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Beta group)
Kappa
    (All of the rows that fall into the Kappa group)
Zeta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Zeta group)

Obviously it's defaulting to alphabetical order.

If I use "OrderNum format '{1}. ', SystemType format '{1}' Group By OrderNum I get

1.
    (All of the rows that fall into the Beta group)
2.
    (All of the rows that fall into the Zeta group)
etc...

I want to see

1. Beta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Beta group)
2. Zeta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Zeta group)
etc...

or

Beta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Beta group)
Zeta
    (All of the rows that fall into the Zeta group)
etc...

Sorry for the length, but I wanted to make sure you all had all the information you might need to help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Auto-dropdown GridViewComboBoxColumn on single-click Q2 2008

I was previously able to achieve a single click dropdown on a GridViewComboBoxColumn with the following code:

    
                Private Sub RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellEditorInitialized 
        
                    If Not (Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor Is Nothing) AndAlso (TypeOf Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor Is RadComboBoxEditor) Then 
        
                        'CType(Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor, RadComboBoxeditor).ShowDropDown 
        
                    End If 
        
                End Sub

Now that I have upgraded to Q2 2008, the ShowDropDown event has disappeared. I do not find any helpful advice within the release notes for Q2 2008.

Is there still a way to accomplish this?
