Anchor not work during changing text size to 125%

I am using Win7 system and latest build of Telerik package (2011.3 11.1116 - Nov 16, 2011).

I've made two similiar forms - using ordinary WinForm components (see f-100.png attached) and Telerik form (see t-100.png). No one Telerik theme was used.

When I change text size to 125% - these forms look like that:

a) Ordinary WinForm's form looks fine as expected - see f-125.png.

b) But Telerik form has different behavior (see t-125.png):

GroupBox with anchored position comes out of border (groupbox with dock position has appropriate size).
Treeview with anchored position do not resized at all (treeview with dock position has appropriate size).
Buttons and textbox do not resized (to reflect change of text size) and their anchor position do not work.

I presume that other controls also have problems with anchoring position and resizing.

Note that Telerik form painted fine if we use 150% for changing text size (see t-150.png). Only 125% has that bug (actually, there are some interval from 120% to 135%, something like that).

Should I change something in code to prevent this (I mean, using dock position is not applicable all the time)?

Column chooser tooltips

Hello Telerik Community,

Does anybody know a way to add a tooltip to the column chooser? I know it is not a matter of life or death, but, in one of my projects i condensed a little bit some column header names, and now, when they are on the column chooser nobody, including me, is able to deduce which is the column content :( .

Would be possible to get some reference to the column chooser and add a tooltip to each column?

Best Regards

Andrea

Unpinned column not shown

Hello,

I'm facing a pretty strange behavior when unpinning a column in a RadVirtualGrid:

1. Pin (left or right) 1st column
2. Scroll horizontally (to not display 2nd column)
3. Unpin 1st column
4. Scroll horizontally to display 1st column
=> 1st column is hidden, the only way to make it visible is to resize a column or the entire window

It seems to be a bug and I'm trying some workaround:
- Is there a way to force refresh the grid ? (RadVirtualGrid.TableElement.SynchronizeRows is not working in this case)
- Is there an event that can be captured on column pinned state change, in order to force a refresh at this time ?

Regards.

RadButton Docking Issues

Hi,

I was wondering if any one can help me dock a RadButton to the parent container so that when the Radform is opened and the user maximizes or minimizes the screen, the RadButton will autolocate to the same location respective to the current screen size?

Thank you.

Buttons, RadioButton, CheckBox, etc

GridViewComboBoxColumn

Hello

I have two questions about the GridViewComboBoxColumn:

1. When I start editing a cell form a GridViewComboBoxColumn it always clears the currently displayed value. How can I disable that?

2. How can I change the item height of the drop down list? Is there something like the ItemHeight property of the ListElement of a RadDropDownList?

Best regards

How to reset Breadcrumb

Hi,

is it possible to reset the text of a breadcrumb (databind on treeview)?

.ResetText does not work...

A workaround could be to perform a click on the treeview programatically to get an update of the breadcrumb, but this doesn't seem to work either. I tried radtreeview.RootElement.PerformClick() without success.

A Clear-Method for the breadcrumb should be helpful for the beginning, but I didn't found one.

Best regards

Disabling Floating in Child form

I have a radform with 3 panels. The middle panel displays the initial window and any called child forms as this is the mdi parent. I found I could disable floating in each window by placing the following code:

this-object:radcenterWindow:AllowedDockState = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.AllowedDockState:All and not Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.AllowedDockState:Floating.

How can I disable floating on any loaded child form?

define variable r-object as class Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm.

define variable r-program as character no-undo.
r-program = "programs.POSPRO".
r-object = dynamic-new r-program().
r-object:MDIParent = this-object.
r-object:show().

Thanks

Mark
