Hi

I need to bind a dataset to the dropdown part of a RadCombo but everything I try fails so I've reverted to the VB.net Combo.

Can you give me the basic vb.net code to get me started.

Many thanks

Mitch

Copy and paste loses everything

When I copy and paste most controls, usually the collection is lost, say in a combobox. Is this just a Visual Studio designer bug? Is there a way to re-assign the collection back or make a copy of it without having to spend hours re-creating it just because you wanted to move it somewhere else?

I also get javascript errors when using Telerik controls, especially the tabs -- they disappear on me a lot, and I need close and open the project again to see them. It's just impossible it seems to copy and paste the whole tab control without not only screwing up your entire project, but also losing all the tabs. It doesn't seem specific to Telerik though... it's like the VS designer is totally clueless. I make a backup of my project anytime I need to move something to another user control...

Dynamically add controls to RadTabstrip

I am new to your controls, in VB.Net I am trying to dynamicaly build a form. I have added the RadTabstrip to my .Net form and I can successfully add tabs in via code. My problem is I want to add controls to the tab via code also(RadTetxbox, RadListbox) however it is not adding the control to the correct tab. Below is the code:

Private Sub Add_Text(ByVal sorder As String, ByVal itab As Integer)

Dim txt As New RadTextBox

txt.Name = "Text_" & sorder

txt.Multiline = True

txt.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Both

Me.RadTabStrip1.SelectedTab = Me.RadTabStrip1.Items(itab)

Me.TabItem1.ContentPanel.Controls.Add(txt)

itab is the tab I want to add the control to, it always adds the control to my first tab on the RadTabStrip control.

Is there anywa to add this optionbuttons in design mode? if not it will be a great feature. Actually we are migrating from Infragistics to Telerik and this is a feture the we have in Infragistics.









RadButtonElement optionsButton = new RadButtonElement();

optionsButton.Text = "Options";

optionsButton.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopRight;

optionsButton.Padding = new Padding(3);

optionsButton.Margin = new Padding(3);

optionsButton.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;

optionsButton.Image = global::Telerik.Examples.WinControls.Properties.Resources.optionsButton;

RadButtonElement exitButton = new RadButtonElement();

exitButton.Text = "Exit";

exitButton.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopRight;

exitButton.Padding = new Padding(3);

exitButton.Margin = new Padding(3);

exitButton.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;

exitButton.Image = global::Telerik.Examples.WinControls.Properties.Resources.exitButton;

this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuBottomStrip.Children.Add(exitButton);

this.radRibbonBar1.StartMenuBottomStrip.Children.Add(optionsButton);

this.radComboBox1.TextBoxElement.Margin = new Padding(0, 4, 0, 0);

Automatic Form Scaling

I would love a Control to automatically scale the form and all (or some) of the controls on the form as it is resized. I tried http://www.fengarisoftware.com/Default.aspx?tabid=105, but it does not work correctly with your controls. I suspect just does not know how to find all the properties correctly since it is all custom.

I woudl like to know if this is at all a possibility as I am developing an application to run of HUGE resolutions where the user could be 60+ feet away.

Maybe there is a way to get your controls to resize correctly with their control?

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?

	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)
