I have a command column in a gridview.  I am trying to style the button using either the RowFormatting event or the CellFormatting event.  I found some code in one of the posts on how to modify the children and have adapted it to try to get the button styled properly. 

I originally used the CellFormatting event, then I tried the RowFormatting event but both shared the same problem. For some reason, the size of the button is not properly set when the grid renders.  If I click the button, expand another row, or do something to invalidate the button layout, it jumps to the correct size.  I have tried all kinds of things to fix this and explicitly set the button size.

I posted an image that depicts my problem as well:

Here is a sample of my code from the CellFormatting event:

RadButtonElement button = e.CellElement.Children[0] as RadButtonElement;
if (button != null)
{
button.ForeColor = Color.White;

BorderPrimitive border = ((BorderPrimitive)button.GetChildrenByType(typeof(BorderPrimitive))[0]);
border.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 87, 42);
border.InnerColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 56, 27);
border.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;

FillPrimitive fill = ((FillPrimitive)button.GetChildrenByType(typeof(FillPrimitive))[0]);
fill.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Glass;
fill.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(71, 133, 101);
fill.BackColor2 = Color.FromArgb(71, 133, 101);
fill.BackColor3 = Color.FromArgb(0, 92, 44);
fill.BackColor4 = Color.FromArgb(0, 106, 51);

button.AutoSize = false;
button.Size = new Size(64, 24);  //THIS IS WHAT DOESNT SEEM TO WORK CORRECTLY
button.Margin = new Padding(5);
}

Hi,

I have an app with two panels.
The left panel will hold something like a menu.

What I want is to provide a Tooltip for this panel.
It work - but only in the "client area" of the panel.

When I hover the "headline" it does not pop up a tooltip.
Since the panel will be filled with other controls the tooltip will never show up.

To be more precise:
Imagine an explorer like app.
A panel to the right - showing details.
A panel to the left - containing a large treeview.

What I want is that when the user hovers the "headline" a tooltip should be shown telling something like "Select a folder to see the files...".

Is this possible?

Regards

Manfred

Hi, I'm having problems with Telerik.Charting in a web page using a Prometheus chart. Now you might think this post is in the wrong forum but no.

It seems that the RadControls Q2 2007 SP1 for Winforms installer is installing Telerik.Charting 1.6.1.0 instead of 1.6.2.0. This is causing the error:

Error 1 Indirect reference is being made to assembly Telerik.Charting version 1.6.2.0, which contains 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadChart'. This Project references a prior version of Telerik.Charting version 1.6.1.0. To use 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadChart', you must replace the reference to Telerik.Charting with version 1.6.2.0 or higher. C:\Websites\CheckWeb_NEW\Default.aspx 1 1 C:\Websites\CheckWeb_NEW\

 

when I try to use a Prometheus chart in my web application.

Replacing this dll and XML in C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for WinForms Q2 2007\bin and also in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies with 1.6.2.0 seems to solve this issues but the old dll (1.6.1.0) is still present in the GAC.

Perhaps the Winforms installer should be updated?

Hi,

I have upgraded to Q3 2007 recently. after that, my radPanelBar is not showing the image on each Group. It worked fine with Q2 so I don't know how to solve it.

I'm creating each group at runtime, selecting the imageindex from the imagelist linked in design time. I have tried to create a new imagelist but is not working either. My radPanelBar style is listbar, but I have tried also changing the style with no success.

What can I do to solve it?

Thanks & regards,

Julio

Hi,

I'm using the DockingManager in conjunction with a mdi parent form and I was wondering if when the tab is created for the mdichild, if also the ico image could be displayed alongside the title?

Thanks for your help,
Michael

P.S. sorry for bombarding your forums with all of my questions.

Hi

I am using a RadDockingManager and just faced an issue

That’s is like if I drags a docking panel (say RadPanel1) into the other docking panel (say RadPanel2)  at run time then RadPanel1 acquires the properties of RadPanel2. For example the major problem in this is that I have RadPanel1’s docking position as “bottom” while the docking position property of RadPanel2 is “Left” and now if the user drags the RadPanel1 widows and place it at the bottom of RadPanel2 then on auto hiding mode the panel collapsed towards left and but what I want is that the RadPanel1 should continue collapsing down (even if it is place inside RadPanel2). Can u please help me in this issue?

P.S. I even tried to change the property of RadPanel1.DockPosition to bottom after been place in RadPanel2. which don’t works even.

Regards,
Haroon.

Hi,

Is there any way for the items in the start menu's right column to be updated/changed upon focus of a RadItem in the left column?  I'm trying to acheive the same effect as in Office, but I'm not sure if this is possible/how to do it.

Thanks very much,

We are using a handful of the winforms controls for a customer application.  We want to skin the entire app but are finding the theme-builder extremely difficult and time consuming.  We are looking for someone who is good at styling the tree, grid, tab strip and maybe others to create us custom themes based on our photoshop mock-up.  Is there anyone out there interested?  Does telerik ever do that sort of thing or can we find a 3rd party company/individual?  How much would it be worth to you?  Let me know if you are interested.  Thanks for your time.
