Hi,

I want to do some action on click of the RadPanelBarGroupElement just as we do some action on click of its contituents controls ( RadButtonElement / hosted controls ).

From the documentation , I learned that RadPanelBarGroupElements have only 2 events.
1) RadPanelBarGroupElement.GroupExpandedChanged
2) RadPanelBarGroupElement.GroupSelectedChanged

None of these events are helping me because they are fired also when the form is loaded and when the group is deselected.

I just want to load one form ( add a usercontrol ) on click of RadpanelBarGroupElement.

I tried to add an event on Action --> click , but the event doesnt get fired on clicking the RadpanelBarGroupElement.

Can someone please tell me how can i have same behavior of (click on RadButtonElements ) on RadpanelBarGroupElement as well without the events getting fired multiple times.

Thanks
barkha

Adding Screen Tips

In the "Adding Screen Tips" example I can't find a way to apply the screen tip template after clicking on the screen tip property drop-down-arrow. And if I just click off the pop-up the form will crash in the IDE (after close and reopen) because it has added design items that are not fully configured.

TabItems disappear?

I drop two TabStrips, A and B onto a Form, where A contains B. If I set the Dock property to be Fill, I find that the items in A will be covered by B at Designer.
Is there a workaround to this peculiar phenomenon.

Thanks,
Ricky.

RadRibbonBar

I am currently evaluating rad controls for WinForms and wonder if you have any examples of using the RadRibbonBar dynamically. I am able to add controls to a RibbonBarChunk dynamically based upon a selection from a database, with no problem. However I am struggling with how to interact with those newly added elements [gallery items]. By querying a database I add a ribbonbarchunk and then add galleryitems based upon the results of the query. I need now to add code which will perform a query on another database based upon the which galleryitem the user has clicked. I suppose my question is this. How do I write code for an event on a dynamically added galleryitem to a ribbonbarchunk? If you have any examples (preferably in VB) I would be most grateful.

RadControls for WinForms Vs. Prometheus and Silverlight

Hello,

We currently have a browser based application that extensively utilizes RadControls for ASP.NET. We have been considering providing a second front-end option to our customers that would use RadControls for WinForms to address some performance issues we see occasionally that appear related to slow browser rendering on older machines using older browsers (we have some very large forms and grids in a few places).

Am I correct in assuming that both Prometheus and Silverlight versions are strictly for browser based applications? And if so, is there any reason to suspect there might be significant performance improvements in either of those versions in regards to browser rendering?

Also, I was able to find Product Roadmap info for the browser based stuff, but could not find anything about the WinForms stuff. Can you please provide some insight as to the direction you are headed and what the plan is for WPF support in that regard?

Thanks,
Tom

RadListBoxItem text alignment problem

Hello,

I'm adding items at run-time to a RadListBox. Some of the items need to be aligned to the left and others to the right.

For the items that need to be aligned to the right, I've tried the following methods:

item.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopRight;

item.StringAlignment = StringAlignment.Far;

TextPrimitive primitive = (TextPrimitive)item.Children[2].Children[1].Children[0];
primitive.PaintTextFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Far;
primitive.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopRight;
primitive.StringAlignment = StringAlignment.Far;
primitive.TextFormatFlags = TextFormatFlags.Right;

And some other variations. But none of them work. At best, I get the text pushed a bit to the right: the longer the text string the further right it's pushed. That is, I get the following:

abc
asdfghjk
fdfhjsgkljshgadkjhsalkdhas

Any way to get the alignment to work right?

Thanks!

how to set TextAlignment in GridViewCommandColumn

Hello.

I have a Windows Form and a RadGridView (with default theme), I added some columns manually using the RadGridView Property Builder (not from a database table or any datasource) and then I added a GridViewCommandColumn.

The problem is when I set the TextAlignment property of Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCommandColumn to MiddleCenter (with DefaultText = "Print", UseDefaultText = True), the alignment doesn't change and the text in the GridViewCommandColumn is always aligned to MiddleLeft.

am I setting the TextAlignment in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance.

Not able to apply FillPrimitive - BackColor to the RadButton through visualStyleBuilder

Hi All,

Am just doing a simple exercise of creating a new theme for the radButton.

These are the steps am following
1) Open the VisualStyle Builder.
2) Load the RadButton control.
3) Select on FillPrimitive of the RadButtonElement and change the BackColor, BackColor2, BackColor3 , BackColor4 from default blue to anyother color.

Now at this stage I dont see any change in the color of the button.

However, If I change the Text:RadButton property under ImageAndTextLayoutPanel then I definitely see the change in the color of the text "RadButton" to whatever I select.
I can also apply different color to the button on IsMouseOverButton.

Why am I not able to see any change in the color of the button from standard blue to any selected one?

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks
