Hi,

I build a wizard based on TabStrip.
My Idea - disable all items except the current page (wizzard step).

Works fine - but I want to give the disabled tabs a special "look".
I want to display it (for an example) in red, while the active pageheader is green.

I played around with theme builder and added a state "!Enabled" but it does not work

Any help would be great

Theming problem with ComboBox

Using the theme designer I have been able to create a combo box that has rounded corners on the input control, as well as rounded corners on the drop-down portion.

The problem is that I really need the drop down when shown to extend from beneath the input portion, without creating its own rounded corners, so that the two portions form one rounded rectangle. As it is now, the input control portion and the drop down are adjacent to eachother top to bottom, but each having its own rounded corners on the line they meet, showing up as two distinct rounded rectangles.

This breaks with the entire design motif that I am working with. I don't know if there is a quick hack around this, but one idea I had is to not show the top line of the drop-down and not show the bottom line of the input control, and turn on rounding only on the top corners of the input and the bottom corners of the drop down. Then push the two a few pixels closer to form a complete single rounded rectangle.

Does this make sense? Does anyone know how to accomplish this using the control as it is now? Or can someone from Telerik comment on how soon they could implement this capability?

Many thanks!

Is there a way to resize the bar portion of a panel bar without making a custom skin? Basically I want to double the height of the bar.

Drawing effects with Autoscroll

Hi,

I have a RTS on my form.
The dock is set to fill and on the pages I set a unique "Autoscrollsize" and Autoscroll=true

Works as expected - but the content is "mashed up".
The background of the pages is a 2 color gradient with 50 deg.
When I scroll I get "rectangles" with solid color.
Sometimes from the bottom the border of the selectors scrolls in.

When I refresh the control (alt tab to bring an other win over it an than back) it displays OK.

So I guess this is a problem with missing repaints on scroll events.

Regards

Manfred

checkbox eventhandler

Hello,

just a information for telerik. As far as we could see their is no event for the radCheckBox for WinForms for the Event checked or ischecked. So we had to use the normal win checkbox.

BestFit

Guys,
I'm really confused and worried on the BestFit and AutoSize properties of RadGridView in windows.I have to use in more than 30 users in which every grid has more than 50 columns.

Approx more than 2000 records would be binded to datatsource at a time.

I tried using the Bestfit along with Begin and end update with the Autosize for column=True.

When I try to scroll horizontally,the screen paints back slowly and cannot see the columns on the right hand side.Also it is painting back the same set which is already displayed!!!

I'm sure this should be known issue.I would appreciate if you have samples with the above test scenario.

Regards,
Ganeshram

Problem with highlighting text and right click menu

I am having trouble customizing/theming one particular area of this control, the color in which the input text is highlighted. It seems to default to whatever the OS is using, which completely clashes with the custom theme that can be loaded for this control. I think the same problem exists in the ComboBox and regular text box.

Can someone point me to where this can be customized? If not customizeable, I would suggest adding it as its very incongruent with the theming ability.

The same goes for the menu. The default right click menu on these controls seems to be the bevelled default menu style for whatever the OS is using (XP and it's theme, or what have you).

If legend is too big for chart area application hangs

No code sample, but we could re-produce this everytime on both Vista and XP. If the number of items in the legend is such that there is insufficient vertical height in the chart, the application appears to enter a loop and freezes up.

We are debugging into the source code to determine the exact cause.

Thanks,
