ummmm .. guys .....

Where's the word wrap for RadLabel?

The default Windows Label when AutoSize = False will wrap the text within it to the width of the label.

However your RadLabel doesn't appear to do this

ShapeForm doesn't Like Me

Afternoon everyone,

I'm having a slight problem right out of the gate trying to use an inherited ShapedForm.

I started a new project form and changed it to inherit the ShapedForm.
I set the ShapedForm color and border settings
Tried to run the project and got the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start program 'G:\Development\InstallBuilder\InstallBuilder\InstallBuilder\bin\Debug\InstallBuilder.exe'.

The requested operation requires elevation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OS Platform - Vista
Dev IDE: VisualBasic 2005 Express
Telerik Components: newest build available on the site

any suggestions would be appreciated and if I'm doing something silly just give my head a shake :)

Crash your IDE in

Sorry couldn't resisit the title but I have run across a reproducable bug (?) involving the RibbonBar.

Senerio:

OS: Vista Ultimate
IDE: Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition

Add an Inherited ShapedForm
Add a Windows.Form Panel set to anchor on all four sides of the form
Add a RibbonBar

Create a new chunk
Add a RadRibbonBarButtonGroup to the chunk
Add a RadButtonElement to the above group
Add a RadDropDownButtonElement to the above group

Now select the ButtonElement and change its AutoSizeMode to FitToAvailableSize

Now change the AutoSizeMode to Auto.

At this point the IDE will become Non Responsive and eventually close down.

I have been able to reproduce this result numerous times just to confirm that it can be reproduced.

Very slow databinding with ListBox

Ok, I've started to play around with the WinForms controls. Overall I like the look and feel and program interface. However databinding seems painfully slow. I created a little app to generate unique 10 character codes. I store them in an in memory DataTable and then bind them to a listbox after all the codes are added. With the regular WinForms ListBox the binding occurs almost immediately after the codes are done generating. When I set it to bind to the RadListBox instead it takes a while even for just about 1000 codes.

            DataView dvCodes = new DataView(_dtCodes, "", "UniqueCode", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows);
            lstCodes.DisplayMember = "UniqueCode";
            lstCodes.DataSource = dvCodes;
            //radListBox1.DisplayMember = "UniqueCode";
            //radListBox1.DataSource = dvCodes;

Performance seems sluggish

Datagrid controls seems slow. Shouldn't the #1 priority be a grid that's FASTER than the competition? There's no way we can use this if it's going to be slower than Microsoft's grid.

RadTreeView Property Builder

in trying to create TreeViews through the builder, it crashes the entire IDE causing me to lose work and having to wait for a new VS instance to load.

granted, this is an evaluation until our license purchase goes through; however, when creating mock screens to show upper management on a toolset that might be used throughout a number of government agencies in the future, is not good if design time functionality is not stable.

any suggestions (besides doing the entire mock through code) is appreciated.

thanks....

Docking Panel Selected Event

Hi

I have 4 docked panels on a docking manager, initially as Tabs.

I need an event to fire when a panel is selected (the tab clicked) so I can update another panel with information about the selection.

The visible event on each dock panel fires for all docked panels when the dock is changed, as does the focus and paint events, the tab index changed on the docking manager does nothing.

Please help, I have tried pretty much everything, and am about to reverse by changes and remove the control

Standalone DockPresenterControl

Hi,

I am in the process of implementing a docking system but I don't want to use the docking manager since I don't want a majority of the features offered by the entire docking manager.

I was trying to just use the DockPresenterControl with the captionbar and the tabstrip at the bottom. Is there anyway I can use the DockPresenterControl by itself without implementing it in a docking manager?

I tried doing this but for some reason, it refuses to show itself unless it is associated with a docking manager.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. If more details are needed, let me know :)

Wizard, Office 2007

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, and I apologize in advance if the question and thread already has been issued.

I’m about to create a wizard form with the look and feel of Office 2007. Is there a sample/ way of doing this similar to the rest of your RadControls for WinForms?

Thanks for good service,

Johan
