Editing/filtering on RadGrid Crash the application, with System.Argument null exception

I am trying to use the RadDataGrid view, with the autoGenerateColumn Property set to false, I added three columns as follows.

radGridView1.Columns.Add(new
Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn("ProductId"));
radGridView1.Columns.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn("ProductName"));
radGridView1.Columns.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn("UnitPrice"));

and then i bounded the data source to list<Products>

When I run the application and try to edit any of the fields or if I try to type in the filter box the application crashes with the following exception. While investigating the problem I found out that the default editor for the columns is never instantiated and is set to null

radGridView1.Columns["ProductId"].GetDefaultEditor()==null

Sample Code
-----------

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false; //disable auto generate columns

radGridView1.EnableFiltering = true; //enable filter

radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

//Add columns

radGridView1.Columns.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn("ProductId"));

radGridView1.Columns.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn("ProductName"));

radGridView1.Columns.Add(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewDataColumn("UnitPrice"));

//Bind data

radGridView1.DataSource = GetProductList();

}

public List<Product> GetProductList()

{

var products = new List<Product>();

products.Add(new Product("PRD-001", "Betty Crocker® Angel Food Cake Mix", 8.65));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-002", "Betty Crocker Complete Desserts®", 8));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-003", "Betty Crocker® Cookie Mix", 1.25));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-004", "Betty Crocker® Frosting", 4.00));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-005", "Betty Crocker® Sunkist® Lemon Bars", 10.00));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-006", "Betty Crocker® Supreme Brownie Mix", 2.00));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-007", "Betty Crocker® Variety Dessert Mixes", 3.55));

products.Add(new Product("PRD-008", "Betty Crocker® Warm Delights® Desserts", 4.49));

return products;

}

public class Product

{

public Product()

{

}

public Product(string id, string name, double price)

{

this.ProductId = id;

this.ProductName = name;

this.UnitPrice = price;

}

public string ProductId { get; set; }

public string ProductName { get; set; }

public double UnitPrice { get; set; }

}

Office2007BlackTheme Control in Q2 2008 release

Hi,

I am attempting to apply the Office2007BlackTheme from the Q2 2008 toolbox with no luck.

I can't find any information in the documentation on how to set my RadForm to this theme. In Q1 the theme was available straight from the ThemeName property on the form.

Thanks

Charles

Concepts Documentation

We are evaluating rad controls. In the examples I noticed a property on the grid called "EnableHotTracking". I am looking around for an explanation of that property. But I couldn't find in the documentation other than the MSDN style help documentation which doesn't say nothing about that property.

Is there any detailed documentation that helps to reduce the learning curve on using these controls?

Theming subitems

Hi,
i have created a Custom control from RadControl.
It has items (following the magnify example) but when theming:
a) the control dissapears when opening themebuilder (very strange)
b) all the subitems (no matter what type they are) gets the same theme as the parent (if the parent is themed as a button, all subitems gets this theme, even if they are radimages or checkboxes)..
Is there any way to create a custom theme item for this elements (they don't have the themename property) so i can give them a diferent look as the father?
Thanks in advance!

AutoScroll and Subitems

Hi,
i'm creating a custom control (following the magnify demo), but even when the "autoscroll" property is set, it does nothing for RadItems inside the container, only for "external" controls i placed over the control.
Is there any way to activate the scroll for this items created by the control itself?
Thanks in advance..

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
