I have a GridViewComboBoxColumn whose autocomplete behavior is undesired upon first cell click. Users are entering in a value, but when they first try to do something their input isn't properly appending to what they type and instead appends the first suggestion entirely onto their input. Please see UndesiredBehavior.gif.

Strangely enough, if they delete everything in the cell or change it and go back to it later on, then the behavior is desired: suggestions are being appended properly to what their input is. Please see DesiredBehavior.gif.

I am having a work around right now by instructing users to CTRL + A upon first entering into the cell and then deleting whatever is appended to their first key stroke, and then typing again, but I get complaints from users that they shouldn't have to do this.

Here is my code. Any suggestions?

         private void radGridViewDetail_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
        {

            if (e.ActiveEditor is RadDropDownListEditor)
            {
                //RadDropDownListEditor editor = (RadDropDownListEditor)e.ActiveEditor;
                RadDropDownListEditor editor = this.radGridViewDetail.ActiveEditor as RadDropDownListEditor;
                if (editor != null)
                {
                    RadDropDownListEditorElement element = (RadDropDownListEditorElement)editor.EditorElement;
                    element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.SelectAllText();
                    element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.DropDownSizingMode = SizingMode.UpDownAndRightBottom; // This does not work
                    element.ArrowButton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed; // This works
                    element.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
                    element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.DropDownMinSize = new Size(275, 100);
                    element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.MaxLength = 30;    
                switch (radGridViewDetail.CurrentColumn.Name)
                    {
                        case "CO":
                            element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.DropDownMinSize = new Size(100, 100);
                            element.AutoCompleteDataSource = companyCodeTable;
                            element.AutoCompleteDisplayMember = "COMP_CODE";
                            element.AutoCompleteValueMember = "COMP_CODE";
                            element.DropDownWidth = 200;
                            break;
                        case "CC":
                            int minimumWidth = int.Parse(costCenterTable.Rows[0]["MAX_LEN"].ToString()) * 8;
                            element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.DropDownMinSize = new Size(minimumWidth, 100);
                            element.AutoCompleteDataSource = costCenterTable;
                            element.DisplayMember = "ADDRESS";
                            element.ValueMember = "COST_CENTER";
                            element.AutoCompleteDisplayMember = "ADDRESS";
                            element.AutoCompleteValueMember = "COST_CENTER";
                            break;
                        case "Acct":
                            element.AutoCompleteSuggest.DropDownList.DropDownMinSize = new Size(275, 100);
                            element.AutoCompleteDataSource = glMajorTable;
                            element.DisplayMember = "ACCT_DESC";
                            element.ValueMember = "GLMAJOR";
                            element.AutoCompleteDisplayMember = "ACCT_DESC";
                            element.AutoCompleteValueMember = "GLMAJOR";
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Hello, I'm currently integrating an API into my application. This API sends out emails, but linebreaks needs to be in \n format. Now, my question is how do I replace the regular (I suppose enviroment.newline) with \n. I tried to do a txtMailMessage.Text.Replace(.....) but it does not work. 

 

Thanks in advance

When the user clicks on my shape, I'd like to make the outline red, and maybe thicker border. How can I accomplish this?

I thought it would just be a matter of putting this in my ElementShape-derived classes, but it seems my overrides for ForeColor and BackColor are only called when a new shape is placed on the diagram.

Thanks

Dear All,

I wanted to alternate the rows in my RadGridView, but the way I searched was using RowFormatting events, which I didn't want to use.

Is that possible?

Best wishes.

Hello,

I use range seletor to associate with a radchartview.

If I associate the RadChartView control to RadRangeSelector both in design time and in program (in the function "form_load"), there is a strange behavior.

After I changed the form size, the range selector will initialize start range and end range by which means it cannot memorize the start/end range set by the movement.

However, if I only do "Me.radRangeSelector1.AssociatedControl" ONCE in the design time or in the program, the problem will be disappeared.

In my opinion, there is a bug in RadRangeSelector. It cannot support AssociatedControl 2 times. This issue doesn't appear for the other proprieties, even I set the other proprieties both in design time and in program.

I made a simple demo, please download here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u61lk7yql1ua25f/TestRangeSelector.rar?dl=0

 

In order to reproduce the issue:

step 1. launch the demo

step 2. move range selector

step 3. change the form size

You will see the range selector return to its original location.

You can remove this line in RadForm1_Load:

RadRangeSelector1.AssociatedControl = RadChartView1

 

Or remove the associated control in design time. You will find range selector can memorize the location all the time.

 

It makes us lot of time to find out. If it is a bug, please correct it. If it is not, any explication ?

 

Thank you by advance.

Regards,

I am trying to modify the color of the filter row in a RadGridView in the visual style builder.  I have changed the BackColor property of the GridFilterRowElement but the filter row cell color does not change.  Am I setting the wrong property?

In Excel, holding onto a single value, you can paste it across all cells of a rectangle that you draw. I would like to duplicate this behavior with radGridView. Is it possible? I have tried it in my own program but it doesn't seem that the value is pasted across all cells selected, just the first one that was clicked on.

Hello,

using the RadMenu inside Winforms in an Excel Add In leads to problems:

  • Excel exits with code > 0, which means there was a problem
  • Excel (sometimes) takes 3-5 seconds to close 
  • Excel sometimes restarts after closing (which is the main problem, because it's very annoying for the customers)

Attached is a simple test project

  1. Run the project
  2. Click the "button2" (a simple form with a RadMenu opens)
  3. Close excel directly (do not close the form first!)

From what I've found, I think it has to do with some kind of animation thread... ?

Kind regards,

Christian
