Dragging out and reinserting ToolStripItem Issue

Hello all,
This is an issue I came across while using the RadToolStrip:
I set a new RadToolStrip back colour to ControlDark, set the ToolStripItem Back Colour to transparent and the ToggleButtonElement to transparent/white gradient (see code below).
Whenever I drag the ToolStripItem outside it's ToolStripElement, let it float, then take it back and dock it in the ToolStripElement again, the Item looses the colours I gave it and is repainted in gradient blue as well as getting a bigger size.
Is it a bug, or something can be done here?

EmptySeriesMessage

I have a problem with the EmptySeriesMessage of my Chart.

Even if I change

myChart.PlotArea.EmptySeriesMessage.TextBlock.Text

property to another message, on grid property or on my code, in execution my value is not saved and "There is no or empty series" always appears.

How can I do ?

Regards,

Tooltips on charts

Hi,

I am using your chart controls in a winforms app.
At this point I have just been playing with a gantt chart but there plans to have other charts as well.

I am adding the chart series and the chart series items programatically and would like to have the labels appear as tooltips rather than just text on the chart.

I have tried setting the activeregion.tooltip property on the chart series items but this does not do anything.

Is what I am wanting to do possible with this chart?

Thanks
Gavin

Gallery Alignment

Hi,

I have a Gallery Element, but when I put things in it, it aligns them horizontaly, and does not wrap them. Therefore, when there is a certain number of items, the gallery collapses into a rather useless drop down button.

I would prefer the Gallery to align vertically, and clip the extra items that won't fit.

How can I do this?

(Sorry, I can't give screenshots, my PC is screwed and I will have to reboot before my clipboard will start working again)

DoubleClick and Tabbed Documents

Hi,
I am just downloaded your last version of Docking solution.
I am dynamically create a DockingManager and 3 DockPanel.
I am use Visual Studio 2005 c# langage.
When I drag and drop a DockPanel, I would like to disabled the posibility to tabbed the document to an other DockPanel. I would like just to move the DockPanel to an other place.

Ma second question is about thr event DoubleClick.
That is a part of my code.
...

DockPanel panel_1 = new DockPanel(); 
panel_1.CaptionVisible = true; 
panel_1.TabStripVisible = false; 
panel_1.CloseButtonVisible = false; 
panel_1.HideButtonVisible = false; 
panel_1.DropDownButtonVisible = false; 
panel_1.VerticalScroll.Visible = false; 
panel_1.DockState = DockState.Docked; 
panel_1.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(Panel_DoubleClick); 
panel_1.Text = "Test"; 
Dock_1.SetDock(panel_1, DockPosition.Top); 
 
void Panel_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            label1.Text = "OKOKOK"; 
//            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented."); 
        } 

Nothing is append when I doubleclick on the Panel object.
Do you have an idea of wath is wrong ?
Thank for your support and sorry for my english.

Radio button behaviour for check box

I have a check box field in my grid that I want to be mutually exclussive. That is, I want only one or zero rows to have a value of true for that check box at any point in time. I tried code that changes the check box value of every row to false, but this is very slow. So I thought I would keep a variable that stores the last row index that had a value of true for the check box field. I have (at least) one group set up for the grid. I am trying to store the current row index when the grid is first loaded using the following code:

foreach (GridViewRowInfo _row in employeesGrid.Rows)  

{  

    foreach (GridViewRowInfo _row2 in _row.Rows)  

    {  

        if (_row2.Cells["InitialAssignee"].Value != null && (bool)_row2.Cells["InitialAssignee"].Value == true)  

        {  

            curInitialAssignee = employeesGrid.Rows.IndexOf(_row2);  

        }  

    }  

}

This code assumes that there is one level of grouping. The problem is that curInitialAssignee is always set to -1. I'm not sure why I can't get the row index of _row2.

Once the above is working, I have code in the ValueChanging event that will set the value of the InitialAssignee column to false for the row that corresponds to curInitialAssignee. Followed by a line that changes curInitialAssignee to the new current row.

Also, I want to ensure that this row index remains valid even if the data is sorted differently, or a grouping is added or removed at run time.

Thanks,
Eric.

Loading Combobox... Performance Issue..

Hello..
I am trying to load RadCombobox by using the following code.

      foreach (SuperProgram superProgram in SuperPrograms)
               {
                   RadListBoxItem listitem = new RadListBoxItem();
                   listitem.Value = superProgram.ProgramMsg.MenuName;
                   listitem.Text = superProgram.ProgramMsg.MenuCaption;
                   LsvPgramAvail.Items.Add(listitem);
               }

It takes long time to load. Whereas in Microsoft's combobox the performance is very good.

Do I need any additional code??

Thanks...
