Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

Hello,

Winforms.

I have an application whereby I am creating a pop up window with a new rad form. My first dilemma was when I applied themes globally and I use the "Aqua" theme, I need to get the text to align left with the form set at FixedDialog.
I then started adding a RadTitle bar which sort of resolved the problem, however when I applied the "Aqua" theme and any other theme I lost the pop up border as seen in image and here are some settings in the load event

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

this.MaximizeBox = false;

this.MinimizeBox = false;

Size = new Size(422, 433);

Assistant.CenterFormOnScreen(this);

this.Text = "Aqua Theme";

Also not the circle on the left is gray and the Aqua theme makes it red with an x when you mouse over it.

Now when I set the settings in the form load to change the form border and I get two titles in the form.

this.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;

this.MaximizeBox = false;

this.MinimizeBox = false;

Size = new Size(422, 433);

Assistant.CenterFormOnScreen(this);

this.Text = "Aqua Theme";

It is an MDI application and these are pop up forms.
Can someone tell me if this is normal or what other settings am I missing.

Thanks

Show TabStripItem CloseButton on mouse Hover

I would like to show the close button of the TabStripItem only when the user moves the mouse over the tab strip item.
I have set the ShowToolCloseButton property of the RadDock object to true.
When I dock my control, I set the visibility of the CloseButton to Hidden and I attach the MouseHover and MouseLeave events.

MyTab tab = new MyTab();

var win = this.dock.DockControl(tab, DockPosition.Fill, DockType.Document);

win.TabStripItem.CloseButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;

win.TabStripItem.MouseHover += new EventHandler(TabStripItem_MouseHover);

win.TabStripItem.MouseLeave += new EventHandler(TabStripItem_MouseLeave);

On MouseHover I set the button visibility to Visible, On MouseLeave I set the button visibility to Hidden

void TabStripItem_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

var tabStripItem = (TabStripItem)sender;

tabStripItem.CloseButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Hidden;

}

void TabStripItem_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

var tabStripItem = (TabStripItem)sender;

tabStripItem.CloseButton.Visibility = ElementVisibility.Visible;

}

My problem is that the close button "flickers" when I mouve the mouse over the TabStripItem. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to achieve this behavior?

Thanks,
Silvano

Selecting only cells of one row

Hi,

I have a GridView with

grid.MultiSelect = true;

grid.SelectionMode = GridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect;

How can I achieve a behavior where the user can only multiselect cells of one row? I tried to use the gridFehlzeitenuebersicht_SelectionChanging Event without success. I think I just need a nice hint in the right direction. Thank you in Advance.

I'm using C# and RadControls for WinForms V. 2013.3.1016.40.

Best,

Peter

Autocomplete and images

Hello,

I've used the RadDropDownList with style "DropDown". So I can use the autocomplete behavior. So far so good.
Each progammatically added item has an image (48x48). Wenn I opens the dropdown the items will be displayed with image.
But when I enter some text the matched items in the dropdown will be not displayed with image. Why?

Also the selected item will be not displayed with image. Only when I change the dropdown style to "DropDownList" the image will be displayed also. But then there is no possibility to use autocomplete behavior. That's bad.

As workaround I change the dropdown style on the fly. When clicking the control I change the style like:

private void CountrySelector_MouseClick(object

sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{
this

.CountrySelector.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDown;

this.CountrySelector.DropDownListElement.ShowImageInEditorArea = false

}

Now I can use the autocomplete behavior.

And in SelectedIndex_Changed event method I change the style to "DropDownList" like:

private void CountrySelector_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)

{

this.CountrySelector.DropDownListElement.ShowImageInEditorArea = true;

this.CountrySelector.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;

}

Then the selected item image will be displayed.

Cool. But I need to display the image of matched items in dropdown when entering text using the autocomplete behavior.
How to?

Regards,
Ralf

RadDropDownList SelectedValue not setting

Hi, I'm having some issues with setting SelectedValue on a dropdownlist.

In my application I have a site selection dropdownlist which helps distinguish different transaction sets.
When edits are currently being made in any of the screens and the user tries to change the site using the dropdownlist, it asks whether or not the user wants to continue (checkDirtyLabour() below). If the user chooses to NOT continue with the site change (stay on same form) I want to ensure the dropdownlist doesn't change as well - or in fact, in this case, reverts back to the original value.

As such I try to set rddlSite.SelectedValue = Globals.CurrentSite (shared public variable). I have also tried this with the currentGlobalSite. Neither of these things are working presently, when stepping over these lines the assignation doesn't cause any errors yet also doesn't assign the value. ValueMember for rddlSite = "LookupID" of the LookUpRow record. For instance, the default Globals.CurrentSite value is 7, and changing it to 9 via selection, then cancelling the change when prompted does not return the SelectedValue to 7.

If someone could help me figure out what's going on, I'd love some help.

The following snippet is in rddlSite_SelectedValueChanged

Dim lu As LookupRow = DirectCast(rddlSite.SelectedItem.DataBoundItem, LookupRow)

If lu.LookupID <> Globals.CurrentSite Then

Dim currentGlobalSite As Integer = Globals.CurrentSite

If Globals.CurrentSite > 0 AndAlso checkDirtyLabour() Then 'if dirty and selected to not change, but not when Globals.CurrentSite not set

rddlSite.SelectedValue = Globals.CurrentSite

lh.rddlSite.SelectedValue = Globals.CurrentSite

Return

End If

lh.rddlSite.Text = ""

Globals.CurrentSite = lu.LookupID

lh.rddlSite.SelectedText = lu.FieldID

If Globals.CurrentSite > 0 Then refreshLabourOnSiteChange()

End If

Thanks,
Vijay
