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:

(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

RadMenuItem (backcolor)

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

PanelBar - Outlook 2007

Hi Telerik,

I need a PanelBar similar to the Outlook2007.

I add in the container another RadPanelBar (Groupstyle: ExplorerBarStyle).

The problem is that I cannot modify the size of the container (size:50,50), I have tried with several options but it does not work.

Thank you

redraw issue with horizontal scroll

Working with RadGridView 4.0.2.0. I'm seeing some repaint issues when I bind the grid and both scroll bars are present. I've attached some screenshots. Basically I bind the grid with a very tall/wide table so that both scrolls are on. Then I move the hscroll back and forth a lot. The grid gets totally messed up. I guess I can't attach pics?

Dynamic AutoComplete on text editing

We want to provide our users with AutoCompletetion in a ComboBox. The problem is that the data source is containing alot of items, so we need to limit the suggestions based on what the user is writing.

So if the user enters Ab, we do a search in our database for entries starting with Ab and want to display those in the AutoComplete suggestor.

Here is our initial try to solve this:

private void radComboBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radComboBox1.Items.Clear();

    foreach (string s in Accounts.Current.FindPartial(radComboBox1.Text))
        radComboBox1.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem(s));
}

This seems to work ok as long as you keep typing, but once you start using arrow keys to select an item in the dropdown, we get an exception:

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
(This happens in Telerik code inside radComboBox1.Items.Clear())

We then tried to use the KeyPress event instead, but this didn't help us, as the ComboBox text property isn't updated at this point, so we cannot do a proper search string.

Any idea how we can solve this problem?

Issues with CAB enabling Kit

Let me first say that I an fairly new to CAB and SCSF. I have downloaded the CAB Enabling kit from telerik and I must say it is not very easy to implement. Here are my issues (if anyone can point me in the right direction or help out I would greatly appreciate it):
1) The documentation on how to implement the Telerik components within the toolkit are lacking.
2) I'm running into a lot of issues when trying to alter the Shell form to use all telerik controls (including the form itself to be a Telerik ShapedForm.
The primary issue I am having is exposing the Telerik RadMenu as the MainMenuStrip. The property on the ShapedForm for MainMenuStrip will not accept a RadMenu. This is then causing issues when it attempts to Register the site extensions. The only work around I could come up with was to expose the RadMenu as someting other than a private member to the form (making it a public member basically).

The example application that came with CAB enabling kit didn't seem to have this issue because it seperated the shell as a CAB view.

Am I missing something here? I am very new to the Telerik controls, so maybe i'm just missing something.

Thanks!
