CAB Kit Fails Build

This is great that Telerik is working on a CAB kit. When you try to build the solution in VS 2005, it lists several files that are missing from the download. Am I missing something? The application runs fine if started from shell.exe in the bin folder

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.

BackColor being changed behind my back!

Hi,

I have set the BackColor of the RadTabStrip to (228, 238, 250), and it works in the Designer. This even produces the code in InitialiseComponent():

this.radTabStrip.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(228)))), ((int)(((byte)(238)))), ((int)(((byte)(250)))));

Yet, when I Build and Run, the colour changes in the designer and at runtime to ControlLightLight.

Any ideas?

RadGridView with a BindingList as the DataSource

I am new to the radGridView. I usually write web applications, but now I am writing a winForms application. I decided to use the Telerik tools because of my experience with them on web apps.

So here is what I am doing...
I have a radGridView that has a BibdingList<People> for the datasource. This works great in the grid. I have some fields on the page that let you add a Person to the List. It correctly gets added to the grid, but the grid now has a vertical scrollbar even though there are only two items in it. There is also only one item visible, but I can scroll up to see the other row. The grid is sized big enough to show about 40 items.

I added this code radGridView1.GridElement.ScrollToRow(0); to force it to scroll ot the top. This works except that every time you add an item to the list, you see the vertical scrollbar flash on then off really fast because of the way the item is added then the code forcing it to the top.

I am sure there is a property that I have set wrong, but I am at a loss for where to go.
