Listbox Spacing between items

I have a radlistbox that I made teh items taller and turned the border on. I also want to have a little spacing between each item. What is the best way to do this?

I tried to set teh bottom margin to 10 for the RadListBoxItem in the Visual Style Builder. It does increase the space between each item, but it adds an undesirable effect. The scroll buttons no longer get to the end of the list.

For example, open the style builder tool and the RadListBox. Change the RadListBoxItem bottom margin to 10 then go to the preview tab. Press the scroll down button until you get to the last item. You will only be able to get to Item 8. You have now lost the bottom three items.

I am sure that I am missing something here, but I do not know what it is.

Thanks in advance.
Chris

Ininitalization for RadDropDownButton takes .69 sec - Why?

Hello everyone,

All other controls called in InitializeComponent() take milliseconds. However when the RadDropDownButton is ininitialized within my forms designer class, it takes .69 seconds.

Here is the call:
this.radDropDownButton1 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadDropDownButton();

Is there anyway to decrease this init time?

Thanks.

Odd data conversion error

I'm getting this odd error popping up when I'm using the radGrid and defining my own columns.

I've got the data bound to a business object, and all seems well, text gets updated etc.. until I bumped into trying to use an int in the grid. Using the designer generated code based off the object, I came up with:

            colText = new GridViewTextBoxColumn(); 
            colText.DataField = "SheetWidth"; 
            colText.DataType = typeof(int); 
            colText.HeaderText = "Width"; 
            colText.UniqueName = "SheetWidth"; 
            colText.MinWidth = 75; 
            uiSheets.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(colText); 

Seemed like a pretty standard way of doing things. The grid loads up fine, displays the values, etc, however if I try to EDIT the values, it errors out with this error:

StackTrace  "   at System.ComponentModel.ReflectPropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object component, Object value)\r\n   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewData.PushValue(Int32 boundColumnIndex, Int32 columnIndex, Int32 rowIndex, Object value)"    string 
Message "Object of type 'System.String' cannot be converted to type 'System.Int32'."    string 

Not only that, but it works for the second int column just fine. Literally identical columns, just different names, and yet one works as normal, and the other just refuses to take any value at all, just errors out.

It's one of the more irritating errors out there - if you guys haven't seen it before, I'll see if I can create a project for it.

Value of check box

How do I get the value from a check box after it has been clicked? The code below in the ValueChanged event seems to return random results. Note that "InitialAssignee" is the column name that I happen to be clicking on.

        private void radGrid_ValueChanged(object _sender, EventArgs _e)  

        {  

            MessageBox.Show(radGrid.MasterGridViewInfo.CurrentRow.Cells["InitialAssignee"].Value.ToString(), "");  

        }

Thanks.

Ampersands in RadGridView (Windows)

The data that is being bound to the RadGridView control in my WinForms app has ampersands in it, and the are being changed to underscores per the normal Windows hot key marking scheme (i.e. &File results in File, with the F underlined). Can this be shut off? Or do I need to handle each row as it's inserted?

Thanks.

ListBox styling

I have a ListBox that before without any styling it had an attractive background (I don't remember if it was white or a blue or what) and the selected item would have nice highlighting. After the Beta, the list has a gray background and the highlighted item looks the same as it used to.
It appears that a style was left out possibly? Or if it is meant to be a gray background, I'll just set it manually to something nicer. I have a feeling it was a mistake or oversight though.
