Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

Been testing the toolstrip a bit the last couple days, and I've run across a couple oddities / annoyances.

First off, a bug - if you lock the control, it doesn't lock. Well, it sort of does - you get the locked icon, and you can't move it anymore, but you still get the 'Add New Row/Column' thing showing up, and THAT happily adds to the locked control's collection.

Found that out trying to get rid of that very annoying option. Is there any way to turn OFF the 'Add new Row/Column' option? It makes the control look larger than it is in the designer, and invariably I click on it at least 6 times when I'm trying to move a control which is laying on top of it.
I got it to disappear once by copy / pasting the control to another form, but after a save and reload, it came back :(

Floating/pinned window problem

I've searched the forum, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for with regard to the dockingmanager control.

I want a floating/pinned/unpinned window on the left. The rest of the form should be my main form. I DO NOT WANT a tab, with the name of this form on top. How can I get rid of this tab space, and the tab itself. I've tried.

dockingManager1.TdiContainerVisible = false;  

dockMain.DockableTab.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;  

dockMain.TabStripVisible = false;

where the dockingmanager is named dockingManager1, and the documentPane that I want to not have a tab is named dockMain. The best this does, is hide the tab, but not the tab strip. Then after the form state changes, the tab shows up again.

Please help, thanks,

Brian.

Grid CellFormatting

Hi, Telerik team

I hereby drop an issue that need Telerik Team to help.
I have a coding to differentiate the format of a row with other row of a column

for example:
stock  FOCTYPE  FOC
A          FOC          1
B          AMT        $1

i am using vb

my coding are:
dim Cols as GridViewDataColumn

the below coding is placed into CellFormating event of the Grid

if e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.UniqueName = "FOC" then
    TheType = e.CellElement.Value
    if TheType = "AMT" then
        Cols = new GridViewDataColumn("FOC")
        Cols.DataTextFormatString = "{0:c}"
    end if
end if

My question: Are the listed coding correct? because i never get the result i expected. The format for FOCTYPE = "AMT" still 1 instead of $1

Telerik Team's help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

SelectionChanged when using up/down arrows Q2 2007

Clicking on a row in a grid produces the desired result...the SelectionChanged event is fired and grid.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem is the correct item. However, using the down/up arrow to change the selection on the grid doesn't work as expected: The SelectionChanged event is actually fired twice, both times grid.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem is actually the previously selected item.

Say the grid has 2 items. If I click on the first row, SelectionChanged fires with the first item as the DataBoundItem. Then, if I press the down arrow, SelectionChanged fires twice, again both times with the first item as the DataBoundItem.

Rad button

Hi Telerik,
I would like to have an explanation. I am creating a number pad that works as the number pad of keyboard. when user press on number pad (touch screen), the value that pressed will be scattered to the textbox

example: number pad '1' is pressed then textbox = 1 and next, number pad '2' is pressed then textbox = 12

The Problem is when i press '1' twice and it within a second (fast) then in textbox only have one '1'. But if i am using microsoft button then in then textbox i have two '1'. Wy it is so? Is it because the respond of telerik rad button is slower? because when i pressed slower then in the textbox will have two '1'.

How to extract GridViewComboBoxColumn value

Hi dear rep of telerik,
I have a GridViewComboBoxColumn in my gridview and would like to extract the selected text (given by DisplayMember property) programatically.

here is my column declaration

Dim clubManagerColumn As New GridViewComboBoxColumn
clubManagerColumn.HeaderText = "Club Manager"
clubManagerColumn.DataField = "manager_stuff_id"
clubManagerColumn.DataSource = StaffBindingSource
clubManagerColumn.ValueMember = "staff_id"
clubManagerColumn.DisplayMember = "staff_name"
ClubRadGridView.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(clubManagerColumn)

when I try

ClubRadGridView.CurrentRow.Cells("club_address_id").Value

I am getting the value for the DataField property, instead I would like to get the selected value of the DisplayMember property.

thank you!

Showing/hiding docked panes

Hi
I have fixed my original problem (should have looked at the sample sooner), but I still have a question about adding a document panel via code. My code uses the recommended approach:

this.dockingManager.SetDocument(documentPane);

but my new document pane does not appear until I select one of the other/existing document panes. Is there some method (Refresh does not work) which I can call to make sure everything is updated?

Best regards

Marek
