Set current cell after ResetBindings

I want to set the current cell after performing a ResetBindings to allow seemless keyboard entry. In my example code below I would like to be able to edit the Name column after tabbing out of the Age column. The row appears highlighted but I must navigate to a different row before I can continue editing

public class MyData : IComparable

{

public int Age { get; set; }

public string Name { get; set; }

public MyData ()

{

}

public MyData (string name, int age)

{

Name = name;

Age = age;

}

public int CompareTo (object obj)

{

var other = obj as MyData;

if (other == null)

return 0;

if (this.Age > other.Age)

return 1;

if (this.Age < other.Age)

return -1;

return 0;

}

private List<MyData> m_dataSource;

private BindingSource myDataBindingSource = new BindingSource();

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate.DataSource = myDataBindingSource;

m_dataSource = PopulateData ();

this.myDataBindingSource.DataSource = m_dataSource;

radGridView1.CellEndEdit += radGridView1_CellEndEdit;

}

void radGridView1_CellEndEdit(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs e)

{

var data = this.radGridView1.CurrentRow.DataBoundItem as MyData;

m_dataSource.Sort();

myDataBindingSource.ResetBindings(false);

if (data != null)

{

foreach (var row in this.radGridView1.Rows)

{

if (row.DataBoundItem == data)

{

row.IsCurrent = true;

}

else

{

row.IsCurrent = false;

}

private List<MyData> PopulateData ()

{

List<MyData> dataList = new List<MyData> ();

dataList.Add (new MyData ("A", 1));

dataList.Add (new MyData ("B", 7));

dataList.Add (new MyData ("C", 3));

dataList.Add (new MyData ("D", 5));

dataList.Add (new MyData ("E", 15));

return dataList;

}

[Solved] Save Colors in Layout

I save RadGridView layout in SQL using the following code:

string name = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Please insert the layout name:", " ");

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())

{

var lay = new Rahat.Layout();

lay.User_Id = 123;

lay.Title = name;

#region lay.Layout

grid.SaveLayout(ms);

var sw = new StreamWriter(ms);

sw.Flush();

ms.Position = 0;

var sr = new StreamReader(ms);

var myStr = sr.ReadToEnd();

lay.Layout = myStr;

#endregion

_dbRahat.Layouts.InsertOnSubmit(lay);

_dbRahat.SubmitChanges();

}

and load the layout using the following code:

var lay = _dbRahat.Layouts.First(l => l.Id.ToString() == cmbPreset.SelectedValue.ToString());

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(lay.Layout);

var stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);

grid.LoadLayout(stream);

FillGrid();

The problem is that the grid colors (header cell colors, data cell colors) are not saved and loaded with SaveLayout() and LoadLayout() methods. How can I solve this problem?

Thank you

TargetInvocationException

I am currently running Telerik WinControls 2009 Q2, I have a ribbon on an MDI form inheriting from the ShapeForm form class.

I would click run, it comes up without a hitch, sometimes it will be fine, most times however if I move the mouse, hover over a button, do nothing, it will throw a TargetInvocationException. This exception is pasted below. This application worked flawlessly till I added the RibbonControl to update the GUI.

Any suggestions on fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss as to what might be going on but the common denominator seems to be the ribbon The inner exception is a null reference exception in Telerik.WinControls but I am at a loss what this might be.

SuggestAppend behavior unexpected

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

[Solved] 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!
