Radscrollablepanel scrolls up automatically

Hello,

I have this annoying issue about the radscrollablepanel, what i do is inside the scrollablepanel i put a radgridview on it.
When the gridview is populated the radscrollablepanel adjust and works well, but the issue is when you scroll at the middle or bottom part
of gridview and click on row or cell. It automatically scrolls you up into the top instant and by that you cant edit something in rows which you have scrolled.
Is there any ways to stop the scrollablepanel in scrolling automatically?

Save and load to xml using MemoryStream

Hi

I'm trying to save and load a RadDock layout to a database field using a MemoryStream but the code fails on loading the layout with error 'System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.'

I have very similar code to save and load layouts for RadDock and it works. Also I can save and load dock layouts if I use xml files but I don't want to use them.

I'm using Progress OpenEdge andthese are code snippets for saving and loading the layout.

METHOD PRIVATE VOID SaveDockLayout( ):
    DEF VAR l_MemoryStream AS System.IO.MemoryStream   NO-UNDO.
    DEF VAR l_UTF8Encoding AS System.Text.UTF8Encoding NO-UNDO.
    DEF VAR lc_char        AS LONGCHAR                 NO-UNDO.

    ASSIGN
        l_MemoryStream = NEW System.IO.MemoryStream()
        l_UTF8Encoding = NEW System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
        .
    radDock1:SaveToXml(l_MemoryStream).
    lc_char = l_UTF8Encoding:GetString(l_MemoryStream:ToArray()).
    COPY-LOB FROM lc_char TO tt_stored_layout.layout.

    l_MemoryStream:Close().
    l_MemoryStream = ?.
    DELETE OBJECT l_MemoryStream NO-ERROR.
    DELETE OBJECT l_UTF8Encoding NO-ERROR.

END METHOD.

METHOD PRIVATE VOID LoadDockLayout( ):
    DEF VAR l_MemoryStream AS System.IO.MemoryStream   NO-UNDO.
    DEF VAR l_UTF8Encoding AS System.Text.UTF8Encoding NO-UNDO.
    DEF VAR lc_char        AS LONGCHAR                 NO-UNDO.

    COPY-LOB FROM tt_stored_layout.layout TO lc_char.

    ASSIGN
        l_UTF8Encoding = NEW System.Text.UTF8Encoding()
        l_MemoryStream = NEW System.IO.MemoryStream(l_UTF8Encoding:GetBytes(lc_char), 0, l_UTF8Encoding:GetByteCount(lc_char))
        .
    radDock1:SuspendLayout().
    radDock1:LoadFromXml(l_MemoryStream).
    radDock1:ResumeLayout().

    l_MemoryStream:Close().
    l_MemoryStream = ?.
    DELETE OBJECT l_MemoryStream NO-ERROR.
    DELETE OBJECT l_UTF8Encoding NO-ERROR.

END METHOD.

Can you help or give me an example of using a method to save and load dock layouts withouth resorting to xml files?

Kind regards

Tung

Theming dockControl

Hello

I'm using ThemeResolutionService.LoadPackageFile to load a tssp file and apply the theme for the whole application with ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = AppliThemeName;

My RadForm (F1) has MdiChildren detect by a RadDock (RD1).

One of these MdiChildren is an other RadForm (F2) which contains a radDock (RD2) which contains some others RadForm (F3x) added with DockControl method.

The F3x RadForms are not themed.

Is there anything else to do for apply theme in this case?

Overlapping tabs using negative left margin on tab item

I'm using a negative left margin on my tab items. This causes the tab items to overlap each other a little. This works during run time, but not at runtime. At runtime, the tabs start out with the default spacing until I scroll the tabs. If there aren't enough tabs to cause the scroller to appear, I have to shrink the form to get the scroller, then scroll the tabs and then resize the form again.

Ideally, the tabs would start out overlapping, but I've been looking for a workaround. Unfortunately, I can't find one. I've tried refreshing, repainting, invalidating, etc, etc. The only way I can find to get the tabs to overlap is to scroll them.

Has anyone tried to overlap tabs? If so, how do you do it?
Has anyone used negative margins before? If so, have you seen this problem?
Can anyone think of anything to help me.

Thank you.

Trackball Label Text Coloring

I have changed the Label on the Trackball to the data I want to display. In this case it is 4 lines. I would like to change the color of each line of text individually. I can change the color of all of the text in the label, but not on a line by line basis. Here is a snippet of my code:

ChartTrackballController trackBallController = new ChartTrackballController();

trackBallController.TextNeeded += TrackBallController_TextNeeded;

radChartView1.Controllers.Add(trackBallController);

private void TrackBallController_TextNeeded(object sender, TextNeededEventArgs e)

{

CategoricalDataPoint dataPoint1 = e.Points[0].DataPoint as CategoricalDataPoint;

CategoricalDataPoint dataPoint2 = e.Points[1].DataPoint as CategoricalDataPoint;

e.Element.TextAlignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;

e.Element.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;

float difference = Math.Abs((float)dataPoint1.Value - (float)dataPoint2.Value);

e.Text = string.Format("Line1: {0}\nLine2: {1}\nLine3: {2}\nLine4: {3}", dataPoint1.Category, dataPoint1.Value, dataPoint2.Value, difference);

}
