I upgraded from 2014 controls to 2015 and the suggestappend mode of the multi-column combo box (both in grid and as stand along control) no longer works as expected or as it used to. When I begin typing in the field, it correctly performs the append part and attempts to complete the entry based on the items in the list. It also correctly pops the drop list.

However, when I hit 'tab' without typing all of the characters, it does not change the value to the suggested. Also it does not automatically select the desired row in the drop down like it did in 2014. Am I missing something? I created a small project that demonstrates if it would be helpful for me to send that.

Example: See the screenshot. The class column is a multicombo. I key in the 'N' and it correctly completes it with 'NESTLE'. But the window that popped does not highlight the first 'N' option as it used to and when I next hit tab key, it does not set the value of the multicombo cell to 'NESTLE' but leaves it as the prior value until I type in the entire word.

AutoCompleteBox, keep not match string

Hi,

My scenario is that I have a form to capture the profile of a Person, in that form I am using an AutoCompleteBox to enter the Country. I do have a Country Catalog, so the AutoCompleteBox in profile shows existing elements.

I would like to allow the user to create countries on the fly when capturing a profile. I mean: if the user types a value that does not exist on the catalog, then when clicking the button to store the profile I want to take the not-match string in AutoCompleteBox and use it first to create a Country and then store that new CountryID when saving the whole profile. And of course, the next time the user require that Country it will be available as an existing element from the catalog of countries.

But I see that not-match strings are lost once AutoCompleteBox loses focus.

Is it possible to allow AutoCompleteBox keep that not-match string so I can use it when saving the profile as I explained above?

Thanks in advance for your support,

Regards

Oscar

I tried to set the BorderThickness to 0;0;0;0 of FormOuterBorder, FormInnerBorder and RadFormElement without success. I also tried to set Visibility to Collapsed, but it doesn't work.

ListView weird item height when using TextWrap

Hi, guys

i am having issue with ListView items.
Too large text in the item does not fit into width, please see 001.png.

it can be solved by setting TextWrap = true for SimpleListViewVisualItem inherited class

protected override void SynchronizeProperties()

{

base.SynchronizeProperties();

Cars car = (Cars)Data.Value;

this.Text = "<html> " + car.Model + "";

this.element1.Text = "<html>" +

"ABS:" + (car.ABS ? "YES" : "NO") + "" +

" ESR:" + (car.ESR ? "YES" : "NO") + "" + "";

this.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft;

this.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft;

//this fixes issue from 001.png

this.TextWrap = true;

}

but, i will get the result shown on 002.png, where we have too big item height and second item does not seems to be shown correctly ("Q7" word is not shown).

I have figured out, if the string length does fit into ListViewItem width, it might miss last word of item text.
If I disable images for ListViewItem, then i can see last word of item text. see image 003.png

  private void listView_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)

        {

            //comment this to fix last word showing

            e.Item.Image = (Image)Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(((Cars)e.Item.Value).ImageFileName);

        }

anyway, i cannot fix first item height.

i have checked this one
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/listview/item-height-issue.aspx
but it does not help too much.

i am using Telerik WinForms version: 2013.2.724.40

the source code project is available for download here:

Look forward for your ideas!
Thank you!

UI for WinForms forum missing & version 2016.1.112 not available in Control Panel

Two things quickly.

Why has the forum link to UI for WinForms (http://www.telerik.com/forums/winforms) disappeared from the main Telerik Developer Forums page (http://www.telerik.com/forums) and why is it no longer accessible directly but this sub forum is available?

Also, UI for WinForms Q1 2016 (version 2016.1.112) has been released but it isn't yet available for download and installation in the Control Panel. I've been waiting for some fixes for a while now and really need this latest version to able to continue with the build and release of the next versions of my applications.

I assume things will be up and running soon but wanted to post this in case these haven't been picked up on yet.

Change color in a DropDownButtonElement-DropDownMenu for the vertical line

Hi all,

is there a possibility to erase (or set it to color white) the small vertical line (see attached pictures) in a DropDownButtonElement-DropDownMenu?
Or is it the radMenuSeparatorItem?

FillPrimitive fp = burgermenu.DropDownButtonElement.FindDescendant<FillPrimitive>();
fp.ForeColor = Color.White;
fp.BackColor = Color.White;
fp.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;

didn't work.

Kind regards
Oliver

Shortcut behaviour incorrect

First as a prologue, I am aware of the deficiency that radmenus do not show the accelerator key all the time, despite the windows default having been set. To get around that, I have added code which I have found elsewhere in this forum, basically this:

Public Sub ShowMenuShortCuts(ByVal AMenuItems As Telerik.WinControls.RadItemOwnerCollection)

Dim i As Int32 = 0

While (i < AMenuItems.Count)

Try

CType

(AMenuItems(i).Children(2).Children(0).Children(1).Children(0), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.TextPrimitive).ShowKeyboardCues =

True

AddHandler CType

(AMenuItems(i).Children(2).Children(0).Children(1).Children(0), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.TextPrimitive).PropertyChanged,

AddressOf MenuPropertyChanged

If (TypeOf AMenuItems(i) Is myMenuItem) AndAlso (CType(AMenuItems(i), myMenuItem).Items.Count > 0) Then

ShowMenuShortCuts(CType(AMenuItems(i), myMenuItem).Items)

End If

Catch

'Failure

End Try

i += 1

End While

End Sub

Public Sub MenuPropertyChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PropertyChangedEventArgs)

Dim tPrimitive As Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.TextPrimitive

tPrimitive = CType(sender, Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.TextPrimitive)

If (e.PropertyName = "ShowKeyboardCues" AndAlso (Not tPrimitive.ShowKeyboardCues)) Then

tPrimitive.ShowKeyboardCues = True

End If

End Sub

I am pointing this out because it may be relevant to current issue.

Ok let's say you have this in place:
- You have parent window, with a menu, where one of the items has an accelerator key of "a".
- You have a child window, with a control, with an accelerator key of "a"
So two controls with the same accelerator key. Here is what you do with normal windows forms to invoke one or the other
- If you HOLD DOWN the Alt key, and press your accelerator letter at the same time, this invokes the control on the child window.
- If you press and RELEASE the Alt key, the focus is now on the menu, and you can then type "a" to invoke the menu item.

But here is what happens if the menu is a radmenu:
- I press and HOLD DOWN the Alt key, and then press "a" at the same time. Result? Focus goes to the menu. It should not, it should set focus to the control on the child form.

Thanks for looking.
