If you access the ScreenTips in the Designer for any item in the RibbonBar and then change your mind and cancel out you will find ScreenTip code artifacts still left in the designer code section for the form

Hello,

After reading the documentation I noticed that there is support to bind columns to particular data/control types, but I was wondering if it were possible to bind a column/row to a custom user control that I have built that is comprised of various other controls.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Lance

I have a problem after:-

1) I assign an Imagelist to a RadListBox (16x16 png)
2) I dynamically add items and assign the appropriate image from the Imagelist.

... when run, the icon overlays the text (no margin for the text).

Please can you tell me what I have missed doing?

Regards,
Steve.

I am having trouble with the horizontal scroll bar in particular. I have set the following properties :-

AutoScroll is True
MasterGridViewTemplate:AutoSizeColumnMode is Fill

etc

This works in terms of resizing the columns automatically but no horizontal scroll bar appears for the grid?

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Jamie

As I start to work with some of the other controls I am seeing some places where some features might be nice. Right off the bat I have a few suggestions for the RadPanel

1. Gradient Colors
2. Vista Areo/Glass colors
3. Rounded corners
4. Drop Shadow

A sub panel of this could also be a CaptionBarPanel

- same as the above suggestions but with a CaptionBar at the top of the panel. Options for the CaptionBar suggestions

1. Vista/Glass color option
2. Image / Icon support

just a couple of ideas to while away the morning with :)

Hello,

I downloaded the SP1 for WinForm controls and was under the belief that the Treeview would support making a tree node visible at runtime. I can select the node, programmatically, but want to make it visible within the tree, for example EnsureFocus on the tree node?

So if the node is at the bottom, which the user cannot see I want the node to be in focus. Something like Treeview.Nodes[name].EnsureFocus

Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks

The lowly PictureBox ... it just sits there ... maybe once in awhile stretching an image, or perhaps centering it but generally it leads a pretty boring life.

so howza' bout the Telerik crew bring some snazzz to this lowly control?

Some suggestions:

1. Allow for gradient background colors for those times we use it as a "frame" for an image with a transparent background

2. a wider variety of border styles

3. Allow to fade the image

4. possibly allow for a glassy overlay

5 Rather than placing it on a RadPanel that has the fancy new dropshadow :) let the picturebox contol have its own dropshadow option

One of the components I would like to see is an enhanced listview control that is easily accessible to the developer.

Some of the features I would like in such a beast are

1. Option straight image rather than having to use an imagelist
2. built-in sorting capabilities
3. built in support for sub-item images - both imagelist and straight images
4. Vista/Glass color for listviewitems (for a good example of this check out this listview control - http://www.flowsight.net/default.htm
5. also applicable to the above .. rounded corners

Ideally it would be nice to have a "listviewitem" designer so that you could design a template to be used. A couple of examples along this line would be

1. a listviewitem that would look like a shortend OneNote tab for one set of information with the body of the item being able to hold a graphic that could potentially be linked to other data - web page etc and the remainder of the space for oholder other information dislays - ie: text, links, dropdows etc.

2. a listview item that could like a card from a rolodex type thing

In my opinion the Listview is one of the most under utilized controls from a design perspective but holds the best method for a developer to display information.

the above could also apply to a listbox.

Now I know from my limited playing around with WPF (http://www.winextra.com/2006/11/28/my-first-vista-wpf-program/) that a lot of this type of thing is capable of being done in the WPF world but it would be really nice if this could be done for the standard .NET stuff as well.

some additonal features

1. gradient colors - both for the actual text and/or the background
2. if the background is gradient then a dropshadow on the label area
3. if the background color is transparent dropshadow on the letters
4. a wider variety of border choices

I mentioned this in another thread but I thought I would throw it in here as well just incase it gets lost.

One of the things I have never understood with VB and C# is why we are forced to have to use a Label and a TextBox in input screens. In Visual FoxPro the textbox has a caption setting that lets you add the type of info the textbox is for.

ie: [<Label>: [textbox]] = Name: [                 ]

All one control and much easier to work with.
