Hi all,

How can I Hide the GridView's Group Panel and show it only when I group by a column
I try this

  private void radGridView1_MasterGridViewTemplate_GroupingChanged(object sender, ListChangedEventArgs e)  

        {  

            if (this.radGridView1.ShowGroupPanel == true)  

            {  

                this.radGridView1.ShowGroupPanel = false;  

            }  

            else  

            {  

                this.radGridView1.ShowGroupPanel = true;  

            }  

        }

But it doesn't seem to work when I group By two columns :(

Thanks in advance.

GridTableElement and BorderPrimitive

We draw the border color on controls differently in order to show data state. I use BorderPrimitive on the other controls to do this, but noticed that GridView does not do it this way. Any reason for this?
I therefore tried to use TableElement.BorderColor, BorderColor2, BorderColor3 and BorderColor4 to try and achieve the same result, but only got the right and bottom borders colored. I also tried to use the BorderTopColor etc. properties, but these do not seem to have any affect.

Please could you advise.

Best regards

Marek

Still getting "Project File Modified" security warning after uninstalling R.A.D. RibbonBar

I installed R.A.D. RibbonBar for evaluation, and after uninstalling it, I'm still getting the security warning about having a modified project file. Specifically, after clicking More Details I get this:

An item referring to the file "" was found in the project file.....

This is more of an annoyance than anything, but reinstalling Visual Studio didn't solve the problem, which makes me think the change is residing in MSBuild somewhere, or in the registry.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or help you can offer.

RadLabel, WordWrap and TextAlignment

The temporary fix that I have for the auto size problem for a label control has addressed one issue but raised another. My label spans a number of lines of text and the word wrap feature (default?) is what I need. However when I set TextAlignment to any of the left (or right) flavors (top-left, bottom-left etc.) I seem to get the top row left or right aligned, but the subsequent rows middle aligned based on the position of the first row. I hope this makes sense? Is this a bug?

Best regards

ThemeResolutionService ??

I'm trying to figure out how to load and assign theme at runtime. All of your examples are pretty basic and does not demonstrate a complete mechanism. I looked in documentation and code sample about the ThemeResolutionService but found nothing interesting. What is this object supposed to provide?

in my code at program startup i do the following

ThemeResolutionService.RegisterThemeFromStorage(ThemeStorageType.Resource, string.Format("My.Client.Resources.{0}", Properties.Settings.Default.ThemeName));

ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = Properties.Settings.Default.ThemeName;

i would think that the actual theme that will be used for the application is the theme registered in ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName ?

nothing seem's to change. Everything is like a reset. And yes my theme is embedded in resources and well known. When i open it with the theme builder i see it fine too.

Could you please provide just a couple lines of code that
1-register some theme (so user can change later)
2-set's a default theme for the application.
3-use it !

thanks
ps: sorry to mention this but your documentation is way incomplete! and half your sample are to basic or not complete.

annoying problem in VS designer

I am facing a very annoying problem in vs when in design mode.
Whenever i switch the form language to something other than default (to localize it) all controls on the form goes away and this incredibly clear message is displayed.

at System.ComponentModel.ReflectPropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object component, Object value)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeAssignStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeAssignStatement statement)

Label Rotation

Try as I might to get the right label roation I cannot. I have no idea around which point the label rotates

for (int i = 0; i < iCount; i++)
{
// Add a new item
ChartAxisItem pAxisItem = new ChartAxisItem(pGroup.DisplayName);
pAxisItem.Appearance.RotationAngle = -90.0f;
pAxisItem.Appearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.TopRight;
radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Items.Add(pAxisItem);
}

No matter what I try the label rotation doesn't seem to work as I intend. I am trying to get the label to point straight down but to be aligned to the centre of the bar it is beneath. There are a myriad of options but the online help says nothing on this issue???

Please help
