Hello folks!

Is there some way to adjust the width of the textbox in the TableSearchRow? Also, can a MaxLength be set for this same textbox?

ColumnGroupsView height

Sample code below. Just copy, paste and run. :)

var grid = new RadGridView

{

Dock = DockStyle.Fill,

AutoSizeRows = false,

AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill

};

grid.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "column1", HeaderText = "Column 1" });

grid.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "column2", HeaderText = "Column 2" });

grid.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "column3", HeaderText = "Column 3" });

grid.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "column4", HeaderText = "Column 4" });

var columnGroupsView = new ColumnGroupsViewDefinition();

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Add(new GridViewColumnGroup("Group 1 Line 1" + Environment.NewLine + "Group 1 Line 2"));

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups[columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Count - 1].Rows.Add(new GridViewColumnGroupRow());

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups[columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Count - 1].Rows[0].ColumnNames.Add("column1");

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups[columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Count - 1].Rows[0].ColumnNames.Add("column2");

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Add(new GridViewColumnGroup("Group 2 Line 1" + Environment.NewLine + "Group 2 Line 2"));

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups[columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Count - 1].Rows.Add(new GridViewColumnGroupRow());

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups[columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Count - 1].Rows[0].ColumnNames.Add("column3");

columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups[columnGroupsView.ColumnGroups.Count - 1].Rows[0].ColumnNames.Add("column4");

grid.ViewDefinition = columnGroupsView;

var form = new RadForm();

form.Controls.Add(grid);

form.ShowDialog();

How to change by code height of group row? Please see attached image.

Important: I want to stay with AutoSizeRows = false.

RadTextBoxControl custom block

It looks like the stand text block formatting is done on word boundary, i.e. text delimited by spaces. Is there any way to make a custom block so I can format based on words delimited by other characters, e.g. "|", "[", "]" etc. Also, what is the extent of customisation, is it just fore/back colour of text? I'd like bold, italics etc. also so perhaps my best option is to use a rich text editor.

Can't open property builder

I'm having a very strange issue. When I click "open property builder" I am presented with an error message. It says...

Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.WinControls.Themes.HighContrastBlack, Version ...' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

What's most interesting is that I am not using or referencing this theme anywhere in my project.

Change color or border a one header column

I'm trying to highlight just one column header.
I would also like the whole column to have a different border to the others.
But I have not managed to modify any element of the header either.
This is the code I am using:

Private Sub RadGridView1_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellFormatting

If TypeOf e.CellElement Is GridHeaderCellElement Then

e.CellElement.Font = myCustomFont

e.CellElement.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.OuterInnerBorders

End If

End Sub

Thanks!

Custom RowPaint does not work in Print event

I'm using RowPaint event to "merge" cells. But when Printing it is not using the RowPaint event.

I tried to use PrintCellPaint event. But Row of event args are different. One is GridDataRowElement and other is GridViewDataRowInfo.

How can I use the same code to both events?

private void radGridView2_RowPaint(object sender, GridViewRowPaintEventArgs e)

{

var dataRow = e.Row as GridDataRowElement;

if (dataRow == null)

return;

var value = Convert.ToInt32(dataRow.RowInfo.Cells["Group"].Value);

if (value == -1)

return;

var startCell = e.Row.VisualCells[2];

var leftPos = startCell.PointToControl(startCell.Bounds.Location).X + (startCell.TableElement.CellSpacing * startCell.ColumnIndex);

var msgLocation = new Rectangle(leftPos + 1, 1, e.Row.Bounds.Width - leftPos - 2, e.Row.Bounds.Height - 2);

e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.White), msgLocation);

e.Graphics.DrawString(EventLogs[value], e.Row.Font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), msgLocation);

var textSize = e.Graphics.MeasureString(EventLogs[value], e.Row.Font, msgLocation.Width);

//if (textSize.Height > dataRow.Size.Height)

startCell.RowInfo.Height = (int)textSize.Height;

}

RadPageViewContentAreaElement

Hi,

I'm working with a RadGridView to show dynamically some event come on my app. The RadGridView use a GridViewTemplate to show some children events and the relation is made with a GridViewRelation.
I do some tests to try to customize the display on the event ViewCellFormatting but I still have problem on the RadPageViewStripElement where like on the sample because I cannot remove the Yellow line (define on the RadPageViewContentAreaElement).

I would like know if it's possible to remove this yellow line?

private void GridView_ViewCellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)

{

GridDetailViewCellElement childCell = e.CellElement as GridDetailViewCellElement;

GridGroupExpanderCellElement expanderCell = e.CellElement as GridGroupExpanderCellElement;

if (childCell != null)

{

childCell.Padding = Padding.Empty;

RadPageViewStripElement stripElement = childCell.PageViewElement as RadPageViewStripElement;

if (stripElement != null)

{

stripElement.DrawBorder = false;

stripElement.Padding = Padding.Empty;

RadPageViewContentAreaElement contentArea = stripElement.ContentArea as RadPageViewContentAreaElement;

contentArea.DrawBorder = false;

contentArea.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

contentArea.Padding = Padding.Empty;

foreach (RadPageViewItem item in stripElement.Items)

{

item.Size = new Size(0, 1);

item.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;

item.DrawBorder = false;

}

else if ((expanderCell != null) && (expanderCell.RowElement is GridDataRowElement))

{

expanderCell.Expander.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;

}

Failed to compare two elements in the array

Hello, I am getting the below exception and I was wondering if there is any way to intercept the GridViewRowInfoComparer.CompareRows method to check for null values instead of throwing exception.

Select first row when grouping

I have a grid with grouped rows, I call ExpandAllGroups, then I'd like the first row of the first group to be selected. (currently the grid scrolls to display the first row of the datasource, I think).
How could I do that?
