Chart View + Pivot Grid Drilldown

Is there a correct implementation to use this functionality between pivot grid and chart view.

Looking at it from an external perspective drilling down into a bar would effectively apply 1 or more filters to the data that correspond the bar selected.

Many Thanks

Can't edit gui in designer any more

I moved my code to a different virtual machine after getting back from a trip. I just discovered that I can no longer use the mouse to either select or move any Rad GUI elements in my project. Instead, I have a listing of icons for all Rad components at the bottom of the editing screen, in a window that I cannot dismiss. I cannot figure out how this happened.

If I start a new project, it's fine, and everything works as expected.

No regular windows components are affected. Those I can still select with the mouse, even when they're in a RadForm.

I imagine there is a simple solution, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks

Is there a quick method to copy default button style to a LightVisualElement?

Hi

I'm writing a subclass of a radtileelement and one of it's child LightVisualElements needs to emulate a button.

I've written the following code which emulates a regular/plain windows button but I wondered if there was a quick method to copy the style from the border primitive belonging to a button on the form to my LightVisualElement so that my element will maintain the appearance of a button border without needing to do it all manually. (Ive not touched theming yet as Ive only been doing this a few days so far and want to start feeling comfortable understanding the controls first.)

01._buttonElement = new LightVisualElement();

02._buttonElement.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

03._buttonElement.AutoEllipsis = true;

04._buttonElement.MinSize = new Size(0, 30);

05.

06._buttonElement.DrawFill = true;

07._buttonElement.BackColor = SystemColors.ButtonFace;

08.

09._buttonElement.DrawBorder = true;

10._buttonElement.BorderBoxStyle = BorderBoxStyle.FourBorders;

11._buttonElement.BorderBottomColor = SystemColors.ButtonShadow;

12._buttonElement.BorderRightColor = SystemColors.ButtonShadow;

13._buttonElement.BorderTopColor = SystemColors.ButtonHighlight;

14._buttonElement.BorderLeftColor = SystemColors.ButtonHighlight;

CellClick not firing for custom cell element

I've got a custom cellelement and column that contains a RadWebBrowserElement. Clicking inside the document does not trigger the cellclick(other regular columns work fine). I've tracked down the event I need and added an onclick listener to it with: _webBrowserElement.WebBrowserItem.WebBrowserControl.Document.Click += Document_Click;

Clicking inside the document fires Document_Click but I'm assuming I have to somehow have Document_Click fire the cellclick event but am unclear how to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

Form Maximised

Hello,

I encounter a strange behavior with my RadForm window:

When I maximize my Form, a boarder exists where the Form is not rendered and the background /application behind is visible and usable. See the attached screenshot.

If the form is not maximized everything is OK.

This issue occurred after updating from the previous version to the latest version, and this issue exists only on Computers that do not have Visual Studio Installed (standard users of the software). On the development machine the maximized state is OK too.

Do You have an idea how to solve this problem? Or do You have a workaround?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Ingo

Upgrading without 7zip executable

I'm currently using version 2013.1.321.20 and would like to upgrade to a newer version. When I try to run the installer though, it's blocked because my company doesn't allow us to run 7zip .exes. Is a later version available in a different format? Thanks.

Formatting TextBoxes

I have been trying to find a way to format textboxes to currency. This is the only thing I have found that works:

this.feeTextBox.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", this.BindingSource, "DataColumnName", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnValidation, null, "C0"));

Basically, this [ System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnValidation, null, "C0" ] gets added as parameters in the Binding() function.

Has anyone run into problems using this method? Does anyone have additional information on the formatting options available?

Thanks!

How to bring pageviewpage to the front in designer

I've inherited a sprawling project which makes heavy use of RadPageViewPages. There is a tablelayoutpanel inside another tablelayoutpanel, and this in turn contains around 11 RadPageViewPages, displaying as a tabbed control.

I can't find anyway to bring the pageview I want to work with to the front in the Visual Studio 2015 IDE designer. How can I do this? Is it possible? Telerik version 2013.1.321.20.

Thanks.
