Hi - I'm just getting started reviewing the Controls for WinForms for some projects. Things have been a little rough so far.

Here is what is happening -
I loaded up the sample project (VB). I then opened up one of the sample forms. ComboBox>Autocomplete>Form1.vb for example.

I click on the RadComboBox1 Task icon and select "Open Theme Builder".

I get a message box - "Error invoking 'Open Theme Builder'. Details: Unable to locate the theme designer: Telerik.WinControls.Themes.Design.ThemDesigner. Please add reference to assembly VisualStyleBuilder.design.dll."

That assembly is referenced in the project.

This happens when I try to build a new project and add a Rad control to a new form as well.

Thanks.

Change a style element at runtime

Is there a way to change or override a theme attribute or color at runtime? I can make a new theme for the button/control and change the theme at runtime but would like to change like the background color at runtime. Is this possible?

RoundRectShape

I would like to create a new shape similar to: Telerik.WinControls.RoundRectShape but with more roundness on the edges.

What is the best way to do this without using the shape editor because I am having trouble getting all the edges to mirror each other.

MultiColumn effect available on winform combo??

Hi,

I was wondering if MultiColumn display was supported on the wincombo. Reason being, I have to create 2 prototypes, one on the web, and the other a windows app. For the web app, I'm using the multicolumn display, and I would like to do the same for the windows app... Is there a way that I can do this? I noticed that the controls differ greatly, and I'm a bit nervous that I might not be able to emulate the same functionality on both....

Thanks!

Jimi

AutoHide Crashes VSTO2005

Hi,

I have a form set up with set of dockPanels all in horizontal orientation.
I want to display one dock as my main panel and then have 2 info panels auto hide above the main panel. This is fine but when it comes to putting stuff into the panels that are set to AutoHide, it becomes a challenging task.

Problem 1: If i take a panel thats set to dockable and place my textboxes and labels in it, then change the panel to autohide in either the properties panel or Advanced Layout Designer, I can no longer access this panel to place things in it.

Problem 2: Since I cant access the panel while its in autohide mode, I assume I can simply change it back to dockable, make the changes and then change it back to autohide. Wrong. Visual studio crashes every time the second I save the AutoHide property.

Problem 3: I'm not sure what I did but I was messing with my panels in the Advanced Layout Designer, and noticed everything in my autohide panel simply deleted out of it instead of crashing Visual Studio as it done every other time.

Is there any fix for this, or do I have to wait for SP1?

Thanks,
Andrew

r.a.d.TextEdit

It would be nice if there was some sort of text editing panel that came with all the common default icons and was easily connected to (rich)textboxes. Its such a hassle to find icons and implement your own.

Destroying DockPanel

I am trying to destroy a DockPanel rather than having its DockState changed to "hidden" when I click the "x" to close the window. The windows I close will never be viewed again.

It is also causing problem with the "SaveXML" and "LoadXML" layout features. Windows that are "hidden", save as hidden, but when the "LoadXML" function is run the windows change state to "docked".

How can I destroy panels I do not want anymore?

Thanks

r.a.d RadioToggleButton

The idea is to have a new control that would respond as though a radiobutton does (in a group) that allows one selection at a time but instead of the classic radiobutton UI, have a ToggleButton with the ToggleState toggled on or off based on the selected radiobutton.
