Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

Hello

I am using the RichTextEditor control to allow users to create a document (which may include embedded images). The RTF text is then stored in a database, and a Windows Service is supposed to print the document at a later date.The Windows Service does not allow any dialog or form to be shown, so neither a normal print dialog, nor converting to PDF and printing with a PDF Viewer can be used to print.

My current approach has been to convert the RTF to a PDF with RtfFormatProvider and PdfFormatProvider, save it to a file, and print it using the Print verb. However, no matter what options are given to the Print process, it still tries to start the Adobe PDF Viewer to print.

Does Telerik offer a way to print RTF documents without any UI? Or perhaps stock WinForms has a way that I am overlooking.

I am using version Q3 2014 (2014.3.1104)

Thank you for any assistance.

Apply custom sorting in a grouping column binding to a string property programatically

Hi, I am trying to apply custom sorting to a grouping column designed programatically that is binding to the grid as string.

The problem is that I cannot get event fired because for example I do not allow user to sort the columns, It is made programatically and it is fixed by design.

How can I apply a custom sorting method to a grid designed programatically for a grouping column and that it is fixed ??

example:

Column Column
====== ======
4 1
2;33 2
1;35 4
11 5
2 11
1 13
13 1;35
5 2;33

I have been trying to apply this example but I can not get it works, for example events do not fire.

Any help would be appreciated.

Fields aren't rendering

Hello,

I have a PDF that contains fields that I have added with Acrobat. If I put values in those fields and display the PDF with the Viewer, neither the fields nor their values have any kind of representation on the display. How do I get these to show up?

To clarify, the rest of the PDF renders fine. It's simply the fields and their values that aren't showing up at all.

Thanks!

RadRotator centering images

I've got a lot of images I need to load in from a directory into a project where I display a full-screened radrotator on a secondary monitor. I want to be able to show a slideshow of pictures, but I need them to properly fit the screen, and I'd like ones that are strange sizes to be horizontally and vertically centered. All of this seems to be working with my code so far except the centering part...

Here is my code:

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Imports Telerik.WinControls.UI

Imports System.IO

Imports System.Security.Cryptography

Public Class formSlideshow

Private Sub ShapedForm1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Me.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None

Me.Bounds = GetSecondaryScreen().Bounds

Dim screensize As New Drawing.Size(Me.Width, Me.Height)

RadRotator1.Size = screensize

RadRotator1.Interval = (CInt(Val(formSettings.Interval)) * 1000)

If LoadImages() = True Then RadRotator1.Start()

End Sub

'--Get size and location of secondary monitor

Public Function GetSecondaryScreen() As System.Windows.Forms.Screen

For Each windowscreen As System.Windows.Forms.Screen In System.Windows.Forms.Screen.AllScreens

If Not windowscreen Is System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen Then

Return windowscreen

End If

Next

Return Screen.PrimaryScreen

End Function

'--Load images into radRotator

Public Function LoadImages() As Boolean

Try

Dim imageslist As New List(Of String)

'--Get employees personal images

For Each employeeimage As String In Directory.GetFiles(formSettings.EmployeeDir)

If Path.GetExtension(employeeimage) = ".jpeg" Or Path.GetExtension(employeeimage) = ".png" Or Path.GetExtension(employeeimage) = ".jpg" Then

imageslist.Add(employeeimage)

End If

Next

'--Get default images

For Each defaultimage As String In Directory.GetFiles(formSettings.DefaultDir)

If Path.GetExtension(defaultimage) = ".jpeg" Or Path.GetExtension(defaultimage) = ".png" Or Path.GetExtension(defaultimage) = ".jpg" Then

imageslist.Add(defaultimage)

End If

Next

'--Randomize order of images

imageslist.Sort(New Randomizer(Of String)())

'--Add images to radRotator item list

For Each imagefile As String In imageslist

Dim newimage As Image = Image.FromFile(imagefile)

Dim rotatoritem As New RadImageItem()

rotatoritem.Image = ScaleImage(newimage, 768, 1366)

RadRotator1.Items.Add(rotatoritem)

Next

Return True

Catch ex As Exception

Return False

End Try

Return False

End Function

'--Shrink images to fit screen, proportionately

Public Function ScaleImage(ByVal OldImage As Image, ByVal TargetHeight As Integer, ByVal TargetWidth As Integer) As System.Drawing.Image

Try

Dim NewHeight As Integer = TargetHeight

Dim NewWidth As Integer = NewHeight / OldImage.Height * OldImage.Width

If NewWidth > TargetWidth Then

NewWidth = TargetWidth

NewHeight = NewWidth / OldImage.Width * OldImage.Height

End If

Return New Bitmap(OldImage, NewWidth, NewHeight)

Catch ex As Exception

Return Nothing

End Try

Return Nothing
