Print Preview not Refreshing.

I'm using the demo version of the Chart for WinForms component with VS 2005 using Visual Basic. We're considering purchasing the ASP.NET and Winform component sets.

I have everything working in my test application with the exception of one small problem.

I use the following code to display a print preview of my chart:

Me.SalesUnitChart.Printing.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True

Me.SalesUnitChart.Printing.PrintChart(Telerik.WinControls.UI.ChartPrintOptions.ShowPrintPreviewDialog)

Me.SalesUnitChart.Printing.PrintDocument.Dispose()

Me.SalesUnitChart.Printing.Dispose()

This code works fine. However, if the user regenerates the chart with different data, it allways displays the 1st rendering of the chart, even if the datasource for the chart has changed. The chart appears correct on the screen, but the view in Print Preview is allways the first chart.

Is there a method that I need to call to clear the first rendered graphic, and get a new one?

Thanks.

Suggestion - 3D Chart

Hi,
The actual Chartcontrol is nice, but it could be better with 3D rendering.

Modal Shaped Form problem

I've created a shaped form inside of a dll that is sometimes used by the core
class of the dll to gain user input.

My problem is that even though i tell the form to show modal via ShowDialog(),
the form does not appear on the screen , only in the taskbar where i have to
click to make it visible. I've tried even telling the form to also bringtofront and
setfocus in its on load event but still i cant get it to show this shaped form
when it starts up.

StretchHorizontally not working?

Hi
I'm not sure whether it is the way I am using the control or whether it is the control itself.

I have a panel bar with a few groups and the first group has a few image button elements. I then wish to have the text shown below a 32x32 image. The text and image should appear aligned in the middle of the panel bar. I have tried setting the image directly or via an image list, but I still have the same problems (please see below).

The stretch horizontally style seems to be getting reset randomly in the design time and when I do get it to "stick", I do not get the items stretched horizontally at runtime. I then unpredictably lose the other settings such as the image, its position relative to the text, the display style etc. At the moment the control is not at all usable for our purpose.

Please could you advise.

Best regards

Marek

Hide a floating panel

I want my program to hide and float a DockPanel. Initially, I create a dock panel in the designer and set the DockState to Hidden.

To show the panel, I just set DockState to Floating. This works fine.

However, I cannot hide the panel. I tried the following:

- Set the DockState to Hidden
- DockPanel.Hide()

However, the panel continues to float. The only way I figure to get it work is to DockTo another panel, then set the DockState to Hidden. This seems to be cumbersome so I wonder if there is a way to hide it better.

Feature requests:

HI ,,

I really like the winforms controls especially because i don't have designer skills. If i look at the projects i am currently working on i like to see some controls in Telerik style that could really finish the look and feel:

Stylable listbox, multicolor and with images:
Notifyicon in the styles of the themes.
Nice grid like the RADgrid for asp.net

Cheers WIm

Theme Builder does not remember Shapes

Hi,

I'm working on a button looking like a plus sign.
I place a simple RadButton on my Form and choose "OpenThemeBuilder".

I select "RadButtonElement" and then the shape tool.
After doing this I try to change the shape by adding some points and building a plus sign.
It looks fine so I choose "Save Style Sheet in Theme File".
I add a theme manager to my form, load the theme - works fine.

Next I find out (after checking) that my app - that I hav to make the vertical bar a bit wider.
I open themebuilder and load the xml.
What I get is my plus-button.
So far so good.

Now again I choose RadButtonElement and then the shape tool.
PROBLEM: I get a rectangular shape instead of the plus sign.
Ok, it is not too hard to redraw a plus - but if I have a more complex shape it is extremly hard.
Aspecially when you find out "ah, just point X a bit more up" or something like this.

Is this a bug or am I simply doing something wrong?

Regards

Manfred

How to change ListBarLayout with VSB?

Hi,

I have a RadPanelBar with ListBarLayout in my app.
What I want is to Highlight the selected element.
I checked this post:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-mgagc.aspx

But the object model seems to be changed - it does not work.

Anyhow - the post is old so I hoped that Themes no work like expected.

So I simply choose "Open Theme Builder" from the RadPanelBar.
What I get is the "ThemeTree" for OutlookLayout!

Whe I open "Edit UI elements" I see the correct tree - with ListBarLayout.
But not in the Theme Builder.

So how can I build my Theme for this layout?
And does it even help - or is it still not working like written in the referenced post?

If so - how can I change the Layout of a selected Panelbar?

Regards

Manfred
