cancel form close with FormClosing

I think I read how to do this but searching 'FormClosing' in this forum didn't find anything much.

I simply need to cancel the closing of a form (after user dialog confirmation). Is this the correct approach?

private void OnFormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)

{

var dlg = new DlgConfirmUnsavedForm();

var result = dlg.ShowDialog();

if (result == DialogResult.Cancel)

{

e.Cancel = true;

OnClosing(e);

return; //??

}

else if (result == DialogResult.Yes)

{

SaveForm();

}

...

}

By the way, post editing is terrible!

Excel Addin hangs when MCCB is scrolled

Hi,

I've a problem (again) when the MCCB is used in an Excel addin environment.

If the MCCB is used on a normal form (non modal) and you scroll (mouse wheel) inside the dropdown (grid) then the complete addin hangs.

If you do the same in an modal form, everything works fine.

Sample project is attached (rename to zip)

Steps to reproduce:

    button2 -> opens modal form (OK)
  button1 -> opens non modal form (not OK)
  open dropdown and then scroll inside grid with mouse wheel

Is there any workaround? (even if I have to disable mouse scrolling, would be better than an hanging application)

Running form as Dialog from Treeview DragEnded event stuck sometimes

I'm using two RadTreeView to Drag and Drop Nodes from Right to Left. When "Node 1" is Drag from Right and Drop to Left RadTreeView a Dialog is shown.
If I Drag and Drop other Node before "Node 1" the Dialog stuck and I cannot write on the TexBoxes.

How can I solve this issue?

Main Form

public partial class Main : RadForm

{

public Main()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void RightRadTreeView_DragEnded(object sender, RadTreeViewDragEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Node.Text == "Node 1")

{

new RadForm1().ShowDialog();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//Right

this.RightRadTreeView.Nodes.Add(new RadTreeNode { Text = "Node 1" });

this.RightRadTreeView.Nodes.Add(new RadTreeNode { Text = "Node 2" });

this.RightRadTreeView.Nodes.Add(new RadTreeNode { Text = "Node 3" });

this.RightRadTreeView.Nodes.Add(new RadTreeNode { Text = "Node 4" });

}

RadTreeView hangs after click

Hello there,

I have a telerik tree view with tens of thousands of nodes (around 190k). When I load this in most computers, it works ok, sometimes it takes a few seconds to open nodes, but that's acceptable for the number of nodes.

But, in some Windows 10 computers (not all of them), the tree takes more than 20 min to respond, if it ever does. This happens when clicking anywhere in the tree component (expand buttons, nodes, scrollbar...).

One of the computers details where it hangs is:

Windows 10 Enterprise (64 bit). Version 1703.
.NET 4.7.1
Telerik 2018.1.116.40
The laptop has a touch screen

After debugging I found the tree is stuck in GetChild() method (it loops through all the nodes, several times), from RadTreeViewAccessibleObject (attached call stack). This seems to come from windows messages.

Checking in computers where the tree doesn't hang, this call never happens, which makes me think it's a problem with the implementation of windows messages, in some specific version of windows + hardware.

Any ideas on how to fix or bypass this?

Treeview binding to model

I have been populating my treeviews programmatically but would like to change to binding.

I read data from db and build a data model. I'd like to bind the data model to my treeview. so that when collections of objects and objects' properties themselves change they should automatically update in the treeview.

Which binding method would be the best way to achieve this? I've attached a simple mockup diagram to show the hierarchical structure. (Node types are abbreviated and I've removed the N level shown in the diagram from the code, as it doesn't really add to my question). The first part shows the model, and below shows some sample data.

I did a quick test like below which works, but doesn't allow for the collection of Table objects in Form (sibling to the Elements collection) to be populated. I hope this makes sense.

// pseudocode

class DataModel { public List<Form> forms; }

class Form { public string Name { get; set;} public List<Element> Elements; public List<Table> Tables; }

class Element { public string Name { get; set;} }

class Column { public string Name { get; set;} }

class Table { public string Name { get; set;} public List<Column> Columns; }

// not showing creation of data model; see diagram for structure

// var DataModel sampleData;

_view.DataSource = new BindingList<Form>(sampleData.forms);

_view.DisplayMember = "Name\\Name";

_view.ChildMember = "Forms\\Elements";

As a side question, I'd like to have the T objects and the F objects (for example) in their own visual 'folder' in the treeview. Can this be still achieved with data binding, or should I stick my manual population method (which has lots of overhead trying to keep data model and tree view in synch with events, etc.).

Scope of setting RadGridLocalizationProvider

What is the scope of setting RadGridLocalizationProvider please?

When setting it, it doesn't seem to be assigned to anything eg a particular window. So I'm a bit confused whether it should be set once on startup or if it should be set per form.

On the surface the function "CurrentProvider" appears to be setting.a static variable somewhere, so does the function add the new instance to a list? or does it override a single instance and need resetting after a child form is disposed?

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.

public class GeneralRadGridLocalizationProvider : RadGridLocalizationProvider

{

public override string GetLocalizedString(string id)

{

switch (id)

{

case RadGridStringId.ConditionalFormattingPleaseSetValidCellValue: return GuiResources.Please_set_a_valid_cell_value;

//foo bar the remaining ids

case RadGridStringId.ExpressionFormNotButton: return string.Empty; //if empty, default button image is used

}

return string.Empty;
