When I put a Ribbonbar on a form, it has minimize, maximize en close buttons. (Is there a way to get rid of them ??). If I change the form style to ControlBox = False, MinimizeButton = False, MaximizeButton=False to prevent duplicate close buttons, The maximize button of the RadRibbonbar maximizes the form over the XP taskbar !!

Is there a way around this ??

Any help would be appriciated..

Weird behavior in drop down

This is a weird one. No matter how I add data to the combo, it is true (binding data, manually adding items, etc).

My problem: I am adding an item to the top of the list (text is "(unspecified)" and value is 0) and then setting the selected index property to point to this item. Ok, all is good so far.

Using autocomplete, I can select the item if another item is selected. Still good.

The user clicks the button and drops the list down. If that item (unspecified) is current the selected item, there is no highlight on the item in the list - the highlight is on the next item in the list. If the user scrolls up and down through the list, the item disappears although there appears to be a blank spot where the item used to be. And no matter what, you absolutely cannot click on the item (visible or not) to select it. When I manually add this RadComboBoxItem, I set the enabled property for the item to true just in case.

This happens whether I step through the data table and manually add items or whether I bind the data table to the combo. No matter what I do, the first item is just not selectable from the drop down list but can be selected ONLY if the list is not dropped and autocomplete is on suggest-append.

So what am I missing here?

How to select an item with index of -1

I want no item of the tabstrip to be selected on form load and the selection would be by click of mouse only.
In the web application, i could mention selectedindex=-1 in the aspx for the RadTabStrip.
In Forms Appn, if i try something like
TabStrip1.SelectedTab = TabStrip.items.item(-1), it throws an exception as i tried to access a tab with -1 index, which is not available.
Is there an alternative to achieve the above?

I guess Hierarhcical TabStrip would be available with the next months release of RadControls for winforms.
[It would be great if there is unSelectChildren property in the release, similar to Asp.net RadTabStrip.]

Thanks
Mukunda.

Lot of tabbed documents and dropdownbutton

Dear All,

I'm playing with the Tabbed document example of RadControlsWinforms_Q4_2006_SP1 and found a strange thing.
If there are a few tabbed documents then i can use the dropdown and close button. When i add a lots of documents that overlap buttons, then it's not possible to click on the buttons.

Contextual Groups

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
