Accessing hidden DockPanel after LoadXML

Hello,

I use LoadXML() and then try to find a specific panel through the ID. If the layout contains hidden (unpinned) DockPanels, I don't find them with the following sample code.
foreach (IDockingSite site in this.mDockingManager.DockingSites)

foreach (IDockable dockable in site.ManagedDockables)
if (dockable.ID.Equals(equipmentID))
return(DockPanel)dockable;

Are hidden panels not stored in the ManagedDockables collection?

Thanks, Roland

Flicker & Slow loading inside ContentPanel

I have a RadTabStrip1 inside a form and within each of the ContentPanel (tabs) i have multiple controls... picture boxes, labels, buttons, textboxes. When I load up the panel or change tabs in the UI, there is significant screen flicker and slow loading. When i put all the controls in their own panel or into the standard VS TabStrip, painting works well when loading and switch b/w the tabs.

Anything that I can do in order to minimize or eliminate this? When I run on a smaller machine (graphics card) everything is much slower.

Any ideas?

Parent Tag of Selected Node

I am evaluating telerik controls, and presently the treeview. I am trying to find out what properties I can recover from the selected node to use that to build other grids etc.

I have noticed some useful properties marked as obsolete and wondered how I can get the index property value and the parent index and tag property.

Shaped Form Issues /w MDI and RibbonBar

Hello,

I'm just getting started with the WinForm Controls and having a little trouble with the Ribbon bar. Basically, I would like to to resemble Excel 2007 as it has an MDI.

First, the main reason to use the shaped form is for the Ribbon bar. Is there a way to get a decent boarder to resemble the Office Applications? I have tried using the preset shapes, but it doesn't quite have a usable border as the ribbon bar hides it.

Secondly, when set as MDI, it is not resizable. The only work around I found was to put an MS statusStrip to get the resize handle. Is there a better way?

Lastly, it's not a requirement, but is there any way to utilize Vista's Aero Interface? I tried setting EnableCompositionOnVista, but it didn't quite look correct.

Thank you,
Scott

cannot add a new node dynamically(with DataSource)

Hi, I have a problem with adding a child node dynamically.
I'm using the RadControls for WinForms Q2 2007 SP1.

I wrote a following code:

1. Show RadTreeView with two nodes.
2. When button clicked, add one node to RadTreeView.

But 2. is not working(RadTreeView has still two nodes).
How do I add a new node to RadTreeView?

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  

{  

    DataSet dataSet1 = new DataSet();  

    tocTable = new DataTable("Toc");  

    tocTable.Columns.Add("Title", typeof(string));  

    tocTable.Columns.Add("Target", typeof(string));  

    tocTable.Columns.Add("id", typeof(int));  

    tocTable.Columns.Add("parentId", typeof(int));  

    dataSet1.Tables.Add(tocTable);  

    DataRow row = tocTable.NewRow();  

    row["Title"] = "Main Title";  

    row["Target"] = "d03.xml";  

    row["id"] = 1;  

    row["parentId"] = -1;  

    tocTable.Rows.Add(row);  

    row = tocTable.NewRow();  

    row["Title"] = "Child Title";  

    row["Target"] = "d0300000.xml";  

    row["id"] = 2;  

    row["parentId"] = 1;  

    tocTable.Rows.Add(row);  

    radTreeView1.DataMember = "Toc";  

    radTreeView1.DisplayMember = "Title";  

    radTreeView1.ValueMember = "id";  

    radTreeView1.ParentIDMember = "parentId";  

    radTreeView1.DataSource = dataSet1;              

}  

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  

{  

    DataRow row = tocTable.NewRow();  

    row["Title"] = "New node";  

    row["Target"] = "target";  

    row["id"] = 3;  

    row["parentId"] = 2;  

    tocTable.Rows.Add(row);  

}

Thank you in advance.

RadTexBox sizing

Okay folks you got me confused on this one.

I gather that the height setting of the RadTextBox is based on the font size being used within the textbox. The problem is that the text is too close to the bottom edge of the textbox. The spacing between the top edge of the textbox and the actual text is fine but the bottom edge of the textbox does not have the same spacing.

this would be okay - sorta - if you could manually adjust the height of the textbox but I have note been able to find where this can be done. I have tried setting the height size from wothin the RootElement tree (Size) and from the standard Size setting but thet both automatically reset to the intial height size set when the control is placed or the font size is changed.
