UI for Winforms Q3 2014 (version 2014.3.1104)

Hi

Could you tell me if UI for Winforms Q3 2014 (version 2014.3.1104) released November 5th is effectively SP1?

If so, have you dropped the Service Patch (SP1, SP2 etc) convention?

The reason I ask is that we normally wait for SP1 releases before upgrading Telerik controls and I want to know what to look out for in the future.

Many thanks.

Adrian

Tile reposition and resizing (ReArrange Needed)

Hi,
Please refer the the image to understand the scenario:

Image t01.png: I have 3 tiles [red colspan=2 rowspan=2] [green 1, 1] [ping 1 1]
Image t02.png: I right click on the red tile to change the size from large to small (colspan 1, rowspan 1)
image t03.png: After resize, the is a need to refresh RadPanorama you may notice the text under the red tile
image t04.png: when trying to move the green tile, the Panorama control auto refresh and remove the text.
image t05.png: I manually arranged the tiles, then I need to make the red tile Large (colspan 2, rowspan 2)
image t06.png: After red tile size change, layout is corrupt, HOW CAN WE REARRANGE TILES, without implementing our own logic, which is complex as I think
image t07.png: trying to reposition.
image t08.png: that's what I expected.

Code used to resize:

Private Sub RadMenuItem1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadMenuItem1.Click

'Small

'RadPanorama1.SuspendUpdate()

tileBig.ColSpan = 1

tileBig.RowSpan = 1

tileBig.Size = New Size(200, 200)

'RadPanorama1.ResumeUpdate()

RadPanorama1.Refresh()

'ReArrange()

End Sub

Private Sub RadMenuItem3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles RadMenuItem3.Click

'Large

tileBig.ColSpan = 2

tileBig.RowSpan = 2

' tileBig.Size = New Size(400, 400)

RadPanorama1.Refresh()

'ReArrange()

End Sub

Please advise.

MdiChildActivate is not working

ToolWindow tool = new ToolWindow();

tool.Text = form.Text;

this.radDock1.FloatWindow(tool, new Rectangle(new Point(this.DesktopBounds.X + this.DesktopBounds.Width / 2 - formWidth / 2,

this.DesktopBounds.Y + this.DesktopBounds.Height / 2 - formHeight / 2), new Size(formWidth, formHeight)));

form.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;

form.TopLevel = false;

form.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

form.Show();

foreach(DockWindow dock in this.radDock1.DockWindows)

{

if(GesHelper.Equals(dock.Name, tool.Name))

{

dock.Controls.Add(form);

dock.CloseAction = DockWindowCloseAction.CloseAndDispose;

break;

}

But the MdiChildActivate is not fired, am i missing something on it?

Assigning images to specific columns

Hi,

I am at a loss of how to add images to specific columns in listview from an imagelist.

For example in the following column structure : Column A, Column B, Column C
I would like to populate "Column A" with a string, "Column B" with an image from my imagelist, "Column C" with a string.

I am not sure if this is possible, could anyone provide me with an example of how to achieve this ?

Many thanks in advance !

[Solved] MultiColumnComboBox not wrapping

I cannot find the wrap text or multiline property of a RadMultiColumnComboBox control? I mean the control itself...not its radgridview or drop down.....rather the displayed text of the control? I have strings of 250 characters that display fine in the drop down, but then they center on a single line in the control's display (see attached png.

[Solved] RadGridView + Office2010Black scroller paint issue

Hello,

when i am using RadGridView with Office2010Black theme, and loading some data into, i got vertical scrollbar painted wrong. See the screenshot attached.

My grid initialization section:

private DataTable dataTable;

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

radGridView1.AutoSizeRows = false;

radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

radGridView1.RowFormatting += radGridView1_RowFormatting;

radGridView1.ReadOnly = true;

radGridView1.ShowRowHeaderColumn = false;

radGridView1.VerticalScrollState = ScrollState.AlwaysShow;

radGridView1.ThemeName = "Office2010Black";

dataTable = new DataTable();

dataTable.Columns.Add("number", typeof(int));

dataTable.Columns.Add("descriptions", typeof(string));

radGridView1.DataSource = dataTable;

}

void radGridView1_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)

{

e.RowElement.RowInfo.Height = 120;

}

When loading data, i have (according to requirements) to disable the Grid control first, and enable it as soon as data loaded.
Here is an example:

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

radGridView1.Enabled = false;

Random rnd = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks);

dataTable.Clear();

for (int i = 0; i < rnd.Next(1000); i++)

{

DataRow row = dataTable.NewRow();

row[0] = i + 1;

row[1] = "description" + i.ToString();

dataTable.Rows.Add(row);

}

radGridView1.Enabled = true;

}

After doing so, i have wrong painting behavior of the vertical scrollbar (it is only so in Office 2010 black theme!!), as it shown on the screenshot. See second image, as it should be expected.

In addition, i have experinced that the scroller thumb does not update it's height immediately, according to the added rows count.
It will only redraw itself when user is dragging it or resizing control.

I have tried: radGridView1.Invalidate(), but it does not help.

So far workarounds are:
1) decorating code with BeginUpdate/EndUpdate does partially fix the problem, scrollbar thumb does not change it's size
2) do not disable grid when loading data - works fine for me and even updates scrollbar thumb size, but i need to disable grid before doing data loading due to application requirements.

Print out content

Hello,

I am new to Telerik WinControl. I’m using version 2012.3.1017.40.

I was looking for a control for displaying a chart-diagram in a Windows Forms application. I found the controls “RadChart” and “RadChartView”. Because of the advice of use the control “RadChartView” in your documentation I was making first experiences with this control the last days. As I can see so far, this control seems to be a powerful tool. Having created, configured this control and bound data to it I am looking for the possibility to print out the content of this control. In the documentation I have read that RadChartView does not support the functionality to export its content to a file. I would like to get to know if it is possible to print out the content of a “RadChartView” control anyway.

RadLabel ForeColor still gray after reenabled

When a RadLabel enters the disabled state the fore color changes to gray. However, when the RadLabel is re-enabled the fore color does not return to it's former glory, rather it stays gray forever.

I can't seem to override this behavior even with a custom theme.

Edit: I tried setting the forecolor in radLabel1_EnabledChanged, but it never fired. The problem seems to be that when a RadLabel parent's Enabled flag is set to true, the RadLabel itself is never notified of the event.

If I manually set ".Enabled = true;" for every label on my form, they restore their original ForeColors as expected.

The RadLabel is in a SplitPanel which is in a RadSplitContainer, where the RadSplitContainer is the control being disabled / enabled.
