I'm in the process of resolving the issues created by upgrading to Q1 2008 for all of my instances of the RadGridView control. In Q3 2007, I was able to loop through the selected rows and add the value of a specific cell to a generic list by doing the following:

Dim mPartNumberList As New List(Of String)
Dim selectedRows As List(Of GridViewRowInfo) = PartListRadGridView.SelectedRows

For Each row As GridViewRowInfo In selectedRows
mPartNumberList.Add(Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells(1).Value))
Next

This now fails. What is the equivalent in Q1 2008?

Thanks.

Progress bar missing PerformStep?

I've added RadProgressBar to my RadPanel and set the .Step property to 1. Now I want to perform the step...but I don't see any PerformStep method available??

The "Track and Status Controls" example show incrementing the Value1 property by 1...but that doesn't make sense since we've set the Step property to 1 already.

ControlPanel BackColor resetting to White

I have a SplitContainer which holds a a RadPanel. I've checked EnableHostControlMode and now I have a RadPanelBarGroupElement.ControlPanel.

I'm trying to change the color to transparent, but no matter what I choose, once I start the app, it changes to white.

Suggestions?

[Solved] How to set focus to a control withint a RadTabStrip?

Hopefully an easy question.. I would normally use me.textbox1.focus() to set focus to a textbox control when first opening a form so that the user does not have to click into the box to begin typing.. When I put my controls onto a RadTabStrip, and at the very last line of the form_load event I try to set focus to a control in this way, it does not work.. After the form is loaded I can get the focus to work.. For example, on button click.. But for whatever reason it refuses to work on form_load for all forms in my project.. What am I doing wrong?

Tabstrip (obsolete as of Q2 2010)

RadLabel formatting

I'm looking for a way to alternate formatting within a RadLabel. Something similar to "Found <b>8 results</b> for 'Bob'".

I saw another post that suggested custom drawing in OnPaint, but I don't want to have to calculate wrapping, etc. myself.

Auto data type assign to gridview column

Hi,

I am trying to get data from excel file to the grid at the runtime. The way I am doing this is that I get all data into untyped dataset and then bind it to the grid. The problem I am facing is that when data is bound to the grid if the data in first few rows of specific column is a number then it expects all the data in that column to be number, however it can contain string value as well. Is there a way to stop grid from automatically assigning data type to the column??

Thanks in advance for help.

Save/load layout

Hi. I am trying to save/load the layout of a grid, I don't think it works. In your Example application the save/load layout example does nothing.

I took a quick look at the xml that is generated and i found that indeed the grouping is saved but with no data!

<Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewSummaryRowItem />

</SummaryRowGroupHeaders>

Thanks,

Flickering on Titlebar

Hi,

I tried your sample but as it looks good from a first point of view it makes problems in details.

There is massive flickering (redraw effect) on the title bar.
An this seems to conflict with other RadFroms too.

Reproduce:
Launch two times the "First Look" sample.
Move the mouse a bit over the three button (mini, maxi, close).
Watch that sometimes the whole title bar flicker - sometimes only the buttons.
And watch also that this flickering also occures on the first started instace of the sample.

You can also do this with the mdi sample.
And also mixed through SDI (FirstLook) and mdi.
Launch First look and next MDI.
Now move the mouse (a bit fast) over the three buttons of the SDI.
Whatch that the "sometimes flicker" ond MDI changes to "a lot of flickering".

While writing this post I have an instance of MDI open on a second screen.
It makes me real nervous to see this "periodicly flickering".

Regards

Manfred

Styles not sticking.....

I am a little frustrated with the RadForm and the fact that the styles I am applying are not sticking......

I created a basic winform and change it to inherit from Telerik.WinForms.RadFrom
EnableTheming = False
FormElement/ClientFillPrimative editor, Under "Office Glass Rect" I choose the QuickTheme "Black"
The form looks the way I want it to in the designer yeah! but alas
I save the form, close it, and then reopen it in the designer...and it is an ugly blue with no rectangle.....
The changes I am making are not staying?????

Any help please...
