RadMenuSeparatorItem MergeIndex property

[Sorry this should have gone into the menu strip forum]

Hi
Please would it be possible to add the MergeIndex property to the RadMenuSeparatorItem (or RadMenuItemBase) so that it will be possible to control the insertion point of a menu item when using the Telerik toolstrip in a CAB application.

I have extended your base class for now, but I thought it should be something that you are aware of and consider adding to your code base.

Thanks

Marek

Value type 'String' cannot be converted to 'Telerik.Wincontrols.RadItem

Private Sub RadButton2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton2.Click

'Executes Ping.exe -t With RadComboBox1 as Variable

With Me.RadComboBox1

If Not Me.RadComboBox1.Items.Contains(Me.RadComboBox1.Text) Then

.Items.Add(RadComboBox1.Text)

End If

End With

Process.Start("\pingdev.bat", RadComboBox1.Text)

This code works with the VS combobox - I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong -

I get this error -

Value type 'String' cannot be converted to 'Telerik.Wincontrols.RadItem

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

RadTextBoxElement.KeyDown doesn't fire

I've added a textbox into a RadToolStrip that I would like to be able to use for searching. I would like the user to be able to type a search value into this textbox and then hit Enter and then I'll handle the appropriate event and kick off the search.

In addition to the code that was automatically generated by the designer, I added the following 3 lines of code (hoping to catch any one of these 3 events, but would prefer to get the KeyDown):

this.searchTextBox.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.searchTextBox_KeyPress);

this.searchTextBox.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.searchTextBox_KeyDown);

this.searchTextBox.KeyUp += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.searchTextBox_KeyUp);

I then added the methods specified within the handler code above and added simple code in each to just show a message box. I also added breakpoints in each of these methods. When I run my application, I don't see any message boxes when typing into the text box, and my breakpoints are never hit either.

Any suggestions? Are these 3 events supposed to fire for the RadTextBoxElement within a toolstrip?

Thanks,
Ben

Adding Items to RadListBox Control

I need to add a list of items to a radlistbox control, and I can do it fine with the MS version, but this does not work. I am using the following syntax:

Me.RadListBox2.Items.Add("test11")
Me.MediaListVisible.Items.Add("test11")

Can anyone give me some examples please?

Thanks in advance..

Performance Issues when using readonly checkbox columns

Hi

The grid seems to slow down alot when I have a few checkbox columns and I display the grid fullscreen. I've testing by removing and adding columns using the column chooser, and the grid is only slow when the check box columns are present.

I am binding a a generic list to the grid.

I am doing the following when initially creating the grid (setting the columns to readonly), and removing this code does improve that responsiveness

For Each col As GridViewColumn In grdProdArea.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns

col.ReadOnly = True

problems with panelbar and EnableHostControlMode

to a shaped form, i added a panelbar with a few groupelements. i toggled one of the groupelements to EnableHostControlMode.

initially i was able to add a treeview to the groupelement in question; however, when i ran the app it flickered really bad and then crashed after i tried to collapse the groupelement.

now it's to the point to where i can't even toggle the groupelement to EnableHostControlMode without crashing the VS IDE.

ultimately, i want to add treeviews to groupelements and have no flickring.

thanks....

ScreenTips problem

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

Embed Custom Controls

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!
