Hello,

my DockingManager has about 10 DockPanels, which the user can Show / Hide at runtime with a set of given presets.
So at times I need to hide 3 panels and show 3 other panels. Right now this looks ugly as the panels one by one start to show / hide and all the other panels adjust their sizes again and again.

I tried to avoid that with SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout (both of the Panels and the DockingManager) without success.

Is there a way to make this an "atomic operation" so the change goes smoother?

Greetings

Drag Item out of TreeView

I want to support dragging a RadTreeNode out of a TreeView, but do not want to allow users to drag and drop nodes between other nodes in the same tree.

    
            this.radTreeView1.ItemDrag += new RadTreeView.ItemDragHandler(radTreeView1_ItemDrag);  
        
            RadTreeNode draggingItem = e.Node;  
        
                        if (GetTagValue(draggingItem.Tag.ToString(), "Type") == "Document")  
        
                        {  
        
                            DataObject dragData = GetDragDropFile(draggingItem);  
        
                            if (dragData != null)  
        
                            {  
        
                                this.DoDragDrop(dragData, DragDropEffects.Copy);  
        
                            }  
        
                            else 
        
                            {  
        
                                MessageBox.Show("There was a problem with this file.  Please check to make sure you have access, and that you have recently refreshed the Outlook View.", "Error...", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);  
        
                            }  
        
                        }

The above code works great as long as I have the AllowDragDrop enabled on the treeview, but then again, it causes problems with nodes being able to be dragged around.

Any help would be appreciated.

RadForm shape and standard buttons

Hi Telerik,

I changed the form of my application to inherit from RadForm which results into a nice rad-form in the design-view. it automatically puts a title-bar onto it, which is fine too.

(1) BUT the shape of the form is suppossed to be slightly round around the edges. I am acutally just missing the bit of black drawing aorund the edges, which just isnt there and causes it to look a bit unfinished in my opinion. any advice how to improve this?

(2) I tried to disable the maximise button. It gets greyed out, when I am disabeling it, but thats it. It still works when running the application. Any idea how to do achive this?

thank you

best regards

Christian

drag manager?

What I am trying to do is simply drag a control (in this case a button). To be more specific, the button (or element) should represent a "glyph" so when I start to drag it, the button stays where it is, but an slightly tranparent copy of it is dragged to give feedback of what you are dragging. Exactly like what happens when you drag a column in a gridview to the columns grouping dock.

From what I have read, the Dragmanager is what I need to use? The documenation on this is in the dry style of API documenation that show nothing about how to actually USE it.

I can handle the lower level details of the data being dropped (I hope), but first I have to just do the dragging with feedback.

Any help on this would be appreciated since I have spent the last couple of hours SCOURING this site and the net (which brings me to this site), for an answer/example of how to go about this.

Filter throws exception - can I catch it?

I have a text column in my grid, showing integer values. I have the filter function set to EqualTo. If the user enters in something like "1 3" (no quotes) I get an EvaluationException (coming from the DataTable I believe). Is there anyway to catch this? It kicks the user all the way out to the login.

TIA

URGENT: RagGrid Features

Dear All,

I want to ask about some features if it is applicable in RadGrid for windows before buying the control:

First of all: I want to display HTML text (contains HTML Tags like <B>, <i> and font coloring HTML Tags) saved in the Database into grid column, is this can be done using RadGrid for windows? I mean will the column understand the html tags and convert them to colors and styles like what is happening with RagGrid for Web?

Second and the most important: I want to display multiple images (icons) in the same column, and each row contains different icons than the other, is there something like custom column (Template Column) that I can use to display multiple images in certain cell?

Another simple feature that I didn’t read about it, is paging supported in this grid?

Please before replying to this thread, be sure that the functionalities I want is doable with this Grid.

Regards,

Tayseer

[Solved] Weird ScreenTip Designer Problem

Hi, I was testing the radRibbonBar some more today and I discovered a small bug at design time. I'm not sure if it's only me, but the elements of the screen tip do not show up in visual studio. I do not know how to explain it well, so here is a screenshot.

As you can see (right side of picture), the highlighted area has no text.

Thanks in advance for reading.

Combox drop down covers input box

I am having an issue with the drop down portion of the combo box staying dropped after a selection is made and the selectedIndexChange event is fired.
I am using the selectedIndexChanged event to pop up a input box asking the user to input a qty. The drop down is not hiding when a selection is made. It stays up in the way of the input box until the input box is completed.

Here is my code.

'Code for filing combobox.

drpModelNumber.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest

drpModelNumber.DataSource = oUnitsDT

drpModelNumber.DisplayMember =

"Part_Number"

'code for selected index

Private Sub drpModelNumber_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles drpModelNumber.SelectedIndexChanged

InputBox(

"Please Enter the Quantity", "Quantity", "", , )

End Sub

Any suggestions?

RibbonBar with Glass?

Hi,

I was wondering if, in a future release of your WinForms suite, you will add the option of a glass RibbonBar component. I would love it if your already-excellent RibbonBar control could be improved so that it looked more like the Office RibbonBar. When Word in not maximized, for example, the window is bordered by glass, and the quick access toolbar, window title, and menu button are all drawn on glass instead of your current solution (on an opaque bar). I've seen many other component vendors offering this functionality, and I would love it if you would consider implementing this! Is there any way this could happen in your next release?

Thank you very much!
