Greetings,

Is there a way to hide some of the items of the radgridview filter box, or not showing the filter icon at all (marked with red circles in the attached picture) ?

How to have a custom tooltip when hovered over a datapoint?

Hi ,

I am having a range bar series. When hovered over a range data point i need to get the plot value and display as a tooltip of that hovered data point. Attached is the sample code , where i need to capture range data point.

        private void radChartView1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
        {
            RadChartElement element = (RadChartElement)sender;
            //RangeDataPoint dataPoint = (RangeDataPoint)element.;//var item = sender as RadChartElement;//if (item != null)//{//    var dataItem = item.DataPoint as RangeDataPoint;//    e.ToolTipText = dataItem.High.ToString();//}//e.ToolTipText = "Hi";
        }
 

    private void LoadBarChart()
        {
            chart.View.AreaType = ChartAreaType.Cartesian;
            chart.AngleTransform = 90;
            RangeBarSeries rangeBarSeries = new RangeBarSeries();

    
           rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 14, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 10, "5/17/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 7, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 5, "5/17/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 4, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 2, "5/17/2021"));


            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 30, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 10, "5/18/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 7, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 5, "5/18/2021"));

            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 4, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 2, "5/19/2021"));

            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes - 89, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes - 100, "5/20/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 7, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 5, "5/20/2021"));

I have one more clarification while setting the chart . SetContentCore() method gets called repeatedly when i try to resize the Radgridview . Any way/event to cancel this call ?

I have created a RadGridView and added custom column to display ChartView in it. I am using SetContentCore method to filter data for each row.

The above feature works fine, but I face one problem. Whenever we try to resize the parent window manually, the SetContentCore method getting called repeatedly which in turn creates multiple chart element within one column.

Please help to find which event triggers this method call, so that I can disable the same.

Have a grid of 3 columns with 2 columns as Text and 3rd as a chart in Telerik 2015 WinForms

Hi ,

I am trying to create a page with 3 columns. Date and Percent are the first 2 columns . The 3rd column will be a range bar chart where the time span across 24 hours will be in x-axis (orientation to the top) and the date again will be on the left (we can hide the label) . It might not necessarily be a gridview , but if it is that would be great . Let me attach the mock , I tried to do the 2 columns separately and the chart separately but wanted to integrate it as a single grid .

Much appreciated for the help in advance.

Sample Code that i did to achieve the chart (Grid view is pretty straight forward and ignored in the below code):

  private void LoadBarChart()
        {

            this.radChartView1.AreaType = ChartAreaType.Cartesian;
            this.radChartView1.ChartElement.AngleTransform = 90;
            RangeBarSeries rangeBarSeries = new RangeBarSeries("End Time", "Start Time", "Summarization Date");

            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 14, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 10, "6/8/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 7, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 5, "6/8/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 4, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 2, "6/8/2021"));


            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 30, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 10, "6/7/2021"));
            rangeBarSeries.DataPoints.Add(new RangeDataPoint(DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 7, DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMinutes + 5, "6/7/2021"));



            CategoricalAxis horizontalAxis = new CategoricalAxis();

            //horizontalAxis.Title = "Summarization Days";
            horizontalAxis.ClipLabels = false;
            horizontalAxis.LabelRotationAngle = -90;
            horizontalAxis.LabelFitMode = AxisLabelFitMode.Rotate;

            horizontalAxis.PlotMode = AxisPlotMode.BetweenTicks;
            rangeBarSeries.HorizontalAxis = horizontalAxis;


            this.radChartView1.Series.Add(rangeBarSeries);

            rangeBarSeries.VerticalAxis.LabelFormatProvider = new MyFormatProvider();
            //rangeBarSeries.VerticalAxis.Title = "Time of the day";
            rangeBarSeries.VerticalAxis.ClipLabels = false;
            rangeBarSeries.VerticalAxis.LabelRotationAngle = -90;
            rangeBarSeries.VerticalAxis.LabelFitMode = AxisLabelFitMode.Rotate;

            LinearAxis verticalAxis = radChartView1.Axes.Get<LinearAxis>(1);
            verticalAxis.Minimum = 0; //Minutes 0:00
            verticalAxis.Maximum = 1380; //Minutes 23:00
            verticalAxis.MajorStep = 60; //60 minutes in an hour

            CartesianArea area = this.radChartView1.GetArea<CartesianArea>();
            area.ShowGrid = true;

            CartesianGrid grid = area.GetGrid<CartesianGrid>();
            grid.DrawVerticalStripes = true;
            grid.DrawHorizontalStripes = false;
        }


        public class MyFormatProvider : IFormatProvider, ICustomFormatter
        {
            public object GetFormat(Type formatType)
            {
                return this;
            }
            public string Format(string format, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider)
            {
                int totalminutes = Convert.ToInt32(arg);

                TimeSpan timeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(totalminutes);

                return timeSpan.ToString(@"hh\:mm");
            }
        }

How do you format the label in y axis from total minutes to hh:mm?

I am trying to implement a RangeBarSeries chart where time in y axis and date in x axis . The time here will be total minutes ranged against.

Example 1876 to 18:30 but only for label purpose and not for actual calculation.

Custom PropertyGridItemElement

I created ItemElementBlank class that is used for two separate types in the property editor. I want to display no text next to the property label. It works properly when properties are collapsed. When one of the properties are expanded seems that my display element is used in the wrong row ("Odstęp linii" instead of "Alarm"). I coloured the control to a yellow gradient for a better view.

Rad Controls Anti-aliasing issue

Greetings,

I've been using Rad controls for a long time in my projects ( including mostly buttons, labels and gridview ) without facing noticeable GUI issues , though I sometimes face an Anti-aliasing issue of controls in all of my forms ( in a single project), and I have no idea what's the matter.

More surprising is the wired solution I found out to the issue and that's to add a random new rad control to one of the forms, such as a button or a label. I attached 2 pictures that can illustrate the issue and the solution I described :

"Before.jpg" illustrates a rad button with "Tahoma" font; there is Anti-aliasing issue (sharp edges of letters in Text)

"After.jpg" illustrates a rad button with "Tahoma" font and a fresh new rad button added to the form; there is no Anti-aliasing issue

P.S :

1- The issue involves not just the rad button, but also labels, gridviews (and maybe some other rad controls too).

2- Font can't be the cause of the issue as I've tried using different fonts and it didn't make any difference.

3- I don't manually (dynamically) set or unset the Anti-aliasing feature of the rad controls

4- The newly added Rad control must be present (and visible!) in one of the forms to solve the issue, otherwise the issue remains.
