r.a.d. Chart for WinForms

A WinForms Charting control would be very useful. I know that there are a number of charting controls out there, but if you want your control set to be well rounded then you should add your own.

ButtonElement AutoFill

Hi!

I have a PanelBar with some ButtonElements. Is it possible to set the width of these ButtonElements to the width of the PanelBar so that when the PanelBar's width is expanded the width of the ButtonElements expands too??

I have played around width the AutoSize, AutoSizeMode and FitToSizeMode but can't get it to work. I also can't find an Anchor property which would do the work.

Thanks!
Brian

Adding a text box to splt button drop down

Is it possible to display a text box in the drop down of a split button. I assume it is possible from the example of adding a custom element to the RadMenu. However, it is not clear how to.

My attempt at doing this

            RadMenuContentItem contentTextBox = new RadMenuContentItem();  

            RadTextBoxElement RadtextBoxNoteElement = new RadTextBoxElement();  

            RadtextBoxNoteElement.Size = new Size(139, 15);  

            contentTextBox.ContentElement = RadtextBoxNoteElement;  

            this.radSplitButton1.Items.Add(contentTextBox);

I am using Q4 2006 SP1 version.

Thanks
Peter

RibbonBar Close Button

I have a form with a Ribbon Bar on it, what I want to do is once the close button on the ribbon are is click for it to close the parent form. (VB.net)

So if it was a normal button instead of Ribbon Bar it would be.

Private Sub CloseBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CloseBtn.Click
LoginForm.Close()
End Sub

Q4 SP4 - some initial first impressions

I installed the Q4 SP1 update last night - didn't get very far due to a problem with the Designer (but promptly addressed by Telerik). But here are a couple of my initial thoughts based on installation and examination of the included sample application.

I'm not sure if a single massive sample project is the way to go. I was able to load the project and recompile it with no problem. But due to the size, it was sluggish to load. And I still have not been able to locate the main form for the sample project...

The learning curve is also an issue that has been echoed by other forum members here. You have what seems to be a well thought out group of objects. But the help file really needs more walkthroughs.

My main interest is control functionality, not application skinning. I prefer for the OS theme or WindowBlinds to handle look and feel. Skinning in an ASP.NET application is important. I think it is less so in a desktop app. I suspect some developers who use the controls will not make up their own themes and will just use the default 'Telerik' style.

The controls were not installed by default into my toolbox. It would be nice if a "Telerik WinForms Controls" toolbox group was created and populated.

Seems like most of the control fonts default to MS Sans Serif. Ugh. I suggest going with Verdana or Tahoma for a more up to date look.

In the end, I'm not sure if this suite is going to be right for my project. I heard of the suite through a slick, multi-page ad in MSDN. And I thought it would be a low impact, light set of Vista-style controls that are not native to the Framework.

But it seems like the controls are more similar to other big suites on the market. It is a nice package, but I might end up using only 10% of the controls and still have to ship 7.5 MB of runtime assemblies. And isn't the market filled with dock, toolstrip and panel controls?

I'm going to continue evaluating the controls. And I will keep watching the website for updates. But at this point I'm on the fence.

Thanks for listening.
