Hi,

Checked the docs, but there is no real details on how to implement Contextual Groups for the Ribbon Bar.

How can this be implemented programmatically? (C#)

Many thanks

Highlighting selected GroupElementInfo (Outlook 2007 behaviour)

Hi Telerik

I use the PanelBar as a Outlook 2007 control.
In Outlook 2007, the selected panel is highlighted (at bottom), using a red/yellow color.

In Telerik PanelBar the same effect occurs at mouseover on the PanelBarGroupElementInfo.

Is there a way to change the color on the selected PanelbarGroupElementInfo ? (I would like the same behaviour as in Outlook 2007)

Kind regards

Skinning the Start Menu?

I figured there be an easy way to skin the start menu's little white outer frame and/or even add an exit button in that frame like office 2007. Is there a simple way this can be done because unless I can get rid of that ugly plain white space and maybe add a gradient and a button or two, the whole look of the start menu is sub-par and unappealing.

Please tell me theres hope...

blank values when combobox disabled

Could someone tell me where I could find the solution to this problem. When applying the xml stylesheet to our combobox, and the combobox is disabled, we lose visability of all of the items in that combobox. Upon using a default style, those values are visible.

http://epicsoft.net/cboDarkGray.xml

That is the location of the stylesheet.

RadImageButtonElement Text

Hi,

how do I word wrap the Text property of the RadImageButtonElement. I have "Work Week" as button text along with a calendar icon. Even if I resize the button, the text is not word wrapped, instead the icon disappears (it's still there but unaligned).

Thanks

Appn startup time and selection of Tab Item programmatically

1.) I've been using the TabStrip of R.a.d. Controls for winforms.
The application startup time has increased since i've added a tabstrip to one of my forms.
I've just dragged the tabstrip from the toolbox and added three items to it. In addition to the tabstrip, my form has a few labels and text boxes on the form.

2.) In Designer, selected a tab and the shape property shows "TabOffice12Shape". I tried setting it to some other by selecting from the dropdown available. It works fine. If i try to change it something else, the system gets hanged on for a moment and then the visual studio gets closed. This happens if i try to change the shape for the second time. Is this not supposed to be changed more than once?

3.) How can i select an item in the tabstrip programmatically?
Is there something like RadTabStrip1.items.item(0).select() ??
How can i avoid selection of first element by default?
I want no item on tabstrip to be selected when form is loaded and the user would click on an item to select.

I'm using RadControlsWinforms_Q4_2006_SP1_trial_setup.exe.

VisualStudio2005 look and feel

I am brand new to Telerik.

I would like the DockPanel to have the look and feel of Visual Studio 2005. In particular, the pin icon, dropdown icon and close icon should look like the ones from VS 2005.

Could you please describe the steps necessary to implement that.

Thank you,

Evgueni

Pre-built themes

Hi,

Are there any ready-made themes for the Winforms controls that I could download?
None appear to have been installed with the control set, and building a complete new theme from scratch seems a little daunting.

Thanks.

Option Dialog

I'm trying to create an option dialog similiar to that in VS2005 or other newer applications, were there is a tree view/nodes on the left side and on the right side, there node related controls are displayed. I tried it by using a simple treeview and always recreate/hide the controls on the right side according to the selected treeview node, but I think there must be a better way. Isn't there any container controls which handles those stuff automatically?
Thanks,
