OK, I must be Stupid...

I have seen meny places where is says that the radGridView control easily supports Parent/Child tables. I have been at it all day and can't get it to work.

I have a simple dataset with two tables. There is a relationship set up in the dataset on a single field.

Created a form that has a single GridView control. Set the master grid view template datasource to the parent, and added a child gridview template pointing to the child. Added a relation in Hierarchy. Everything is set for autogenerate columns. The parent data is showing up, but there in nothing showing up for child data under the parent rows when the expand indicator is clicked.

I know the child table has data because I can load it into an MS datagrid using the identical datasource and it displays data.

I have to be missing something here, and I am assuming that its something simple.

The tutorial for WinForms Datagrid is blank, and I can't find any sample apps that contain data in a parent/child relationship. A little help please!?!

Removing Default XP top blue bar

Hi.
Is there a way to remove the default blue bar at the top of an application using the RAD Ribbon control? I tried changing the form's FormBorderStyle to none, and that works, but it's not very attractive with no borders around the bottom and sides.

If I'm remembering correctly, Office 2007's ribbon replaces this bar.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thank you,
Jon

Problem with SplitterMovING event

Hi,

again a problem with the DockingManager.
SplitterMoving fires only once - when you start dragging the splitter.

To reproduce this - and proof the "normal behaviour":
Build a windows app.
Add a DockingMager with two panels.
Add a System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer to one of the panels.
Add a label control to the other panel.
Handle SplitterMoved for both controls (SplitContainer, PrimarySite).
Add the following code to both handlers.
--label1.Text=e.SplitX.ToString();
--label1.Refresh(); //just to be sure
Run the program and move both splitters.
With the SplitContainer you will see a "running number".
With PrimarySite - you will see ONE change of the number.
--And this shows the position where you started to drag.
--It does not change - it does not even reflect the value when you stop dragging.

Regards

Manfred

radComboBox autocomplete, valid input

Does radComboBox provide built in feature to prevent invalid input from user? I want to allow auto complete. I also want to make sure user selects valid option from the list and does not type garbage data in box.

I tried to use style "DropDownList" but then auto complete is not working.

Also when I save data using radCombobox and open form again last time selected option does not show as default.

Please help.

radlistbox with multiple images

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to add multiple images to a radlistbox.
What I want to do is this:
I'm showing a list of files (txt or xml) I'm showing with a small image if the file is a txt or xml file. And I also want to add an error image when the file length is smaller then x kb. If it's not possible I'm going to solve it other wise.

thanks in advanced.

RibbonBar MDI Layout

Hi,

I've been looking at the RadControls for WinForms Examples app and I noticed in the RadRibbonBar section you have an example of a MDI Layout. The picture shows the app having rounded corners with a different color border. However, when I click on the button, Launch Example, I do not get this layout. I've been trying to replicate it but I've run into a couple of problems. 1) If I change the border size nothing happens. 2) I add a padding - which gives me a border- but I cannot change the color of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael
