hello everyone,
I have a RibbonBar inside my windows application. I put some images in the QuickAccess ToolBar but when I click on the black arrow beside the toolbar appears an empty menu. I have set the items' text with some data but they doesn't appear in the menu when I click the black arrow.
Here's an image that illustrates what I mean.

what I need to do is to show only the images in the toolbar and show the text in the menu when I click the black arrow.
Thanks.

Preserving order of Tabbed Document

Say I have the following in a tabbed document A B C D E. If I move C out of the group, then dock it back in, it will show up as A B D E C instead. I guess that's what I need:

1) An event that detects tabbed document movement
2) A method or property that change the order

Dock

ToggleStateChanged

Hi

1. I need to know how I can access the ToggleStateChanged event of the RadCheckBox inside the RadDateTimePicker? I currently have to use the Leave event because the Click event returns the incorrect state of the Checked property (it returns true for e.g. even though I have unchecked the checkbox).

2. Also, by setting the Checked property to fales during form load, the RadDateTimePicker still has the checkbox checked, any ideas?

Kind regards

RadTabStrip (winforms) tab alignment

I'm trying to right-align tabs along the top of a RadTabStrip (winforms) without any luck. The following link describes how to do this with the asp.net controls, but I'm looking for the winforms solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

radControls works with VC++ too!

I opened up my VC++ today and noticed that the radControls bar was still there. I dragged a few controls to my form and it worked fine.

radControls does not only work with C# and VB

Listbox - Error in Type Requirements for Items.Add()

In the rad list box, the Items.Add() function requires a variable of the type 'RadItem'. However, the following code crashes, with a 'Cannot convert RadItem to RadListBoxItem' error:

    
                        foreach(string s in args) 
        
                        { 
        
                            RadItem item = new RadItem (); 
        
                            item.Text = s; 
        
                            radListBox1.Items.Add(item); 
        
                        }

Changing it to a RadListBoxItem instead of the standard RadItem works.

Just something to add to your todo list :)

Header Positioning

Your text alignment does not work. If you set the text alignment for a GridViewDecimalColumn to MiddleRight, and set the HeaderTextAlignment to MiddleCenter, when you run the Grid both of them are shown as MiddleRight, the column data and the Header.

Help merged at root level

Hi,

I installed WebControls for ASP.NET 2.0 and RadControls for Winforms (Q3 2007).

While the WebControls open an own section in help all entries from RadControls for winforms are merged at root level.
In earlier version it was also merged to a "subdir" like with WebControls.

But now it looks like this:
http://www.puzzle101.net/wow1/images/HelpMerge.jpg
(VS 2005 help - with VS 2008 the same problem occures)

Can this be fixed? (Brought back to "subdir" is intentionally made at root).

I work on a german WinXP Pro SP2 with current fixes.
Using VS 2005 SP1 and VS 2008.

Regards

Manfred

I would like to know how to programatically change the backcolor of a RadMenu Item that I am adding to a RadDropDownButton:

    
            Private Sub LoadColors()  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Red", "Red"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Green", "Green"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Blue", "Blue"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Purple", "Purple"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Black", "Black"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Brown", "Brown"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Orange", "Orange"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Yellow", "Yellow"))  
        
                    Me.ddlPatientColor.Items.Add(Me.CreateMenuItem("Pink", "Pink"))  
        
                End Sub 
        
                Private Function CreateMenuItem(ByVal Text As String, ByVal Value As String) As RadMenuItem  
        
                    Dim RadMenuItem As RadMenuItem = New RadMenuItem()  
        
                    RadMenuItem.Name = Value  
        
                    RadMenuItem.Text = Text  
        
                    RadMenuItem.BackColor = Color.FromName(Value)  
        
                    RadMenuItem.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 20.25!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))  
        
                    RadMenuItem.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft  
        
                    RadMenuItem.AutoSize = False 
        
                    RadMenuItem.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(243, 41)  
        
                    AddHandler RadMenuItem.Click, AddressOf ColorChosen  
        
                    Return RadMenuItem  
        
                End Function
