Hi!
I need help to use our custom DropDownPopupForm (custom means that we have items in the list and after the DropDownListElement we have one RadButtonElement) for auto completion feature too.
Our custom DropDownList works as expected, when I click on the downward arrow then it shows our customized DropDownPopupForm, but when I start typing into the DropDownList then suggestions are not formatted the same way as in the previous scenario (they are not formatted at all).
I found that the AutoCompleteSuggestHelper class has the following line:
"internal bool isSuggestMode = false;//indicates this as Suggest DropDownList e.g. this is a second drop down"
So if I try to use our custom DropDownListElement, then I can not set this field from outside the package.
Thank you,
Sandor

I wrote some code to capture the user's selected values before changing them. Thus, allowing the changes to be restored to the previous values.
The problem I ran into was that my click event from the contextmenu is called multiple times. This wipes out the true previous values. I could just add a flag at the beginning of the event, but I was wondering if there was a better way to approach this? why is this click event called multiple times on a single click?

I have RadGridView with GridViewColorColumn . The default color picker dialog is far more advanced than what i need. I just need to allow user to pick basic colors. I see a ENUMS in RadColorDialog class such as ShowBasicColors, ShowSystemColors, ShowWebColors, ShowProfessionalColors.
Question is, how do i modify this behavior from Grid?
i need to show only basic colors.
please help.
Hi,
The ability to add a heirarchy to the parent rows in the virtual grid is great, but is there a way to add multiple data types for the children rows?
For example
public class Parent{
public string Name = "Parent Row";
public ChildType1 child1 = new Child1();
public ChildType2 child2 = new Child2();
}
When a user expands the Parent row, is there a way to define new grids for both Child1 and Child2 to be expanded? This would be super helpful for an asset management project I'm working on.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
I have two RadGridView bound to two different Lists, on two different tabs of a tab control; I DeferRefresh, set the data source, set AutoSize columns mode to none and then call BestFitColumns
The second grid, containing just two example rows, gets its columns resized as expected, but not the first that looks like nothing happened.
The strange behavior is that, if I manually resize (aka click the corner of the window and drag) even just of some pixels the WinForm where the tabs and the grids are staying, the columns gets refreshed to the best fit, as expected from the BestFitColumns command, somehow like it was not refreshed after the bind. This grid have 60 rows, not so many, both Lists contains the same class, so the amount of columns is the same; both grids have the same attributes.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance
Best regards

I would like to alter the behavior of the calendar popup so that when the Equal button is clicked, it performs all the default actions of the equal button, but closes the popup calculator and the result is selected in the control.
Thanks,
Mark

Is there a way restrict the user from being able to hide certain control items?
I want to allow our users to be able to customise the layout to large extent but there are a couple of items that should always be on screen. I've browsed the documentation but I couldn't see anything that would help.
