Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

I'm re-familiarizing myself with the winforms controls. One thing I've noticed, is the MaskedEditBox works great when you type info into it like a phone number. However, when you load a phone number into it from a datasource, or gridview etc, it loses the mask. ie when I click a row in the gridview, it loads the information, but instead of showing (123) 123-1234 like in the asp version, is shows 1231231234. Is this normal or am I missing something?

Grid Binding

Hi All,

I have a Generic List of Category objects built for my program in c# which I am binding the gridview to.

The category object has a Summary property which is a class with multiple Integer and Decimal properties
e.g.

    
            Category  
        
               |-CategoryName  
        
               |-Summary  
        
                    |-TotalPoints  
        
                    |-Potential Points  
        
                       .   
        
                       .  
        
                       .

What i am looking to do is have the following columns in each row;
CategoryName, TotalPoints, PotentialPoints.

I have Used CategoryName as the data field for my first column and this displays fine, i have then entered Summary.TotalPoints in the data field for the next column but this displays nothing but also throws no error!

I am considering just moving the properties up from the summary object to the category object to overcome this but would prefer not to.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance
Wes

QuickAccess Toolbar

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.

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

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

[Solved] 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.
