Is there a way to add your controls to a Context menu? My application uses the NotifyIcon Component which links to a Context menustrip. I would like to be able to add your controls to this. Or is there a completely different approach?

Thank you.

TreeNodes and DropDown Menu

I am using the treeview control (nice by the way), and I want to add a drop down menu to the nodes, and that menu may have 5 items... but only some of them are shown based on the properties of the node... For instance, I want to hide 2 items, when the node is checked for instance. The problem is Setting the Visibility to Hidden, hides the node, but leaves a blank space in the menu... Is there a way to get rid of that behavior

Shadows Me.Paint (Button)

I am extending one of your button controls to have more properties and am including the following code to "Shadow" the Paint event to further draw a string below the main string. This works but would like to know if there is a better way of doing this, because when i change the text or hide and show the button, the text messes up during paint until it gets focus causing it to re-paint. Here is what the buttons looks like painted:

buttons.gif

and here is my code in my extended class:

    Private Shadows Sub ExtendedPaint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint  

        If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Me._alt_text) Then  '_alt_text (string property)  

            Dim f1 As Font = New Font("Arial", 8.0F, FontStyle.Bold)  

            Dim sf As New StringFormat()  

            Dim brush As System.Drawing.Brush = New SolidBrush(Me._alt_text_color)  

            Dim rect As Rectangle = New Rectangle(e.ClipRectangle.X, e.ClipRectangle.Y, e.ClipRectangle.Width, e.ClipRectangle.Height - 7)  

            sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center  

            sf.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Far  

            e.Graphics.DrawString(Me._alt_text, f1, brush, rect, sf)  

            brush.Dispose()  

            sf.Dispose()  

            f1.Dispose()  

        End If 

    End Sub

Any thoughts for improvement or somewhere that might be more efficient?

Buttons, RadioButton, CheckBox, etc

Help with adding items to ribbon bar

I need to be able to programmatically add tabs and chunks to the ribbon bar.

Can someone give me an example of how to recreate the steps of the quickstart in the documentation, or the simple notepad in the examples app.

I know how to do it in the designer, but I need to do it in code.

Hi

I need to create a column filled with data from two different fields in a database.

These fields need to be formatted in such a way that I cannot acheive it through the SQL expression.

Is their something like the ItemDataBound event that I can hook to format the data as it is built.

Kind Regards

RadTitleBar Issues

I'm in the process of purchasing the control bundle and I'm still using the demo, but I have a problem that I can't figure out with the RadTitleBar. If I use the title bar with the Office 2007 Theme, the minimize/maximize/close buttons are visible in design time, but are gone in runtime. I tried it with the Office 2007 Silver theme and it works fine, if I turn it back to the black theme they disappear again. Is this a bug with the control/theme or am I missing something?
