Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

I'm sure I might be going about this the wrong way, but here is what I'm trying to accomplish.

My UI has two sides, on the left a user entry form, and on the right a RTB that is formatted to look like a report might. On load, I define bookmarks to note the start and end of areas. These start and end bookmarks are to help me identify where to place any updates I'll need to do through code.

When the user types in a value or performs an action on the user entry form, some corresponding changes will need to happen within the RTB document. I'll need to find the location within the document and perform the update.

Ideally, I can simply identify where I need to select text within the document, delete it, and replace it with whatever. Also worth noting is that most updates will occur within a Textbox TextChanged event, so speed is a factor as well.

Am I approaching this the right way? This is my first go with the RTB, and I want to make sure I'm doing things somewhat correct. lol

Sample range identification:

this.txtCareplanPreview.InsertLineBreak();

this.txtCareplanPreview.InsertBookmark("InterventionNotes" + intItem.CCGInterventionId.ToString());

this.txtCareplanPreview.Insert("Notes: " + intItem.Description);

this.txtCareplanPreview.InsertBookmark("InterventionNotesEnd" + intItem.CCGInterventionId.ToString());

this.txtCareplanPreview.InsertLineBreak();

Update 10/21/2013: I'm attempting to dig into annotations now, but I'm unable to find any good information regarding their usage, either in the documentation or here in the forum. I believe as this point, annotations are what I'm looking for. I'd still like some input on how I can best accomplish my goals.
Thanks!

Reference to ListDataItem the mouse is over

Is there a way to get the ListDataItem object that the mouse is hovering over in a RadListControl?
I've been trying several approach's but been drawing a blank. I'm thinking the item should already be available somehow since its being highlighted/formatted by the ListControl already...
Thx

Copy required columns from gridview to other gridview

I have some problems with copying required columns from one gridview to another gridview!
Firstly, I download table from Excel, then I give my own HeaderText to some columns using ContextMenu.
And I need to copy only these columns with my HeaderText to another gridview.
I tried some variants but it didn't work!
How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

How to style a superscript

I'm adding some text programmatically and then allowing the user to format it for their needs and saved it as a Word document. In the text that I am programmatically adding I am adding some numbers as a superscript. Currently I turn those blue, then make them smaller to offset them from the main text. But I really want them to be forced to the top of the line, not the bottom. In Word I would just set them as superscript.

I have styles for these that is separate from the main text. I was hoping I can just format their style in a way to either make them an actual superscript, or at least align them to the top to make them look like it. I would prefer to make the superscript, as this will be exported as a Word document.

Do you have any documentation about how to control the styles for things like this, maybe how to add footnotes and other things as well? The online documentation only shows various font formatting. Does the RadRichTextBox allow any more formatting than what is detailed in the documentation?

Binding a treeview to a tree model

Hello, i have a tree data structure like the following:

public class MyTreeNode

{

public string Display{get;set;}

public List<MyTreeNode> childs {get;set;}

}

how can I bind to this datastructure?

Using your WPF Treeview I was able to do using the following code (data context is a root node that is not displayed)

<TreeView Name="treeView1" ItemsSource="{Binding Childs}">

<TreeView.ItemTemplate>

<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Childs}">

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="18">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Display}" />

</StackPanel>

</HierarchicalDataTemplate>

</TreeView.ItemTemplate>

</TreeView>

I do not understand how to do with winforms version of treeview control.

Can anybody please help?

Custom DataSource for each GridViewComboBoxColumn in GridView rows

So i have a grid with multiple columns and one is a ComboBox. The problem I encountered is that each row has to have diferent items in that ComboBox. I tried setting the DataSource on the Column, bit it just messes up every row. Also tried to find the ComboBox from the Rows property with no success.
I was also thinking of the performance impact this would have? If i have 1000 rows with 1000 ComboBoxes an 1000 DataSources? Probably not good :/
Would really appreciate any help or tips anyone can give me.

Arrange for buttons to lie directly under grid

I want to place a row of buttons underneath a grid View such that they always lie under the last row, with no white space (except margin).
When the grid expands to the bottom of the form, the buttons are still visible (at the bottom), and the grid displays vertical scroll bars.

There must be some combination of gridViewElements, panels, docking, etc. that does this?

Adding support for #-tagging with popup menu

Hi,

I'm trying to add a twitter style #-tagging feature to a Winforms RadRichTextBox, where, when the user enters "#", my code must automatically detect it, and convert the entered text to a link when the user ends the word, by entering a periode/comma/semicolon, a Space a line feed or switches caret position away from the entered word.

I would also like to add support for a popup menu/list, which displays the best matches to what the user have entered, based on previously used #-tags. The user can then select a tag from the popup list and have it inserted as a #-tag link, or continue typing, if none of the displayed #-tags are valid.

Checking the caret position and getting when the user enters "#" is easy enough, but detecting when the user then enters a " " to get the tag, I can't get that to work. I've also tried some popup context menu for displaying the list of available at the current caret position, but that opens with focus, so if the user keeps typing, the typing is ignored.

I really need some pointers and samples to get me in the right direction, so any help is much appriciated.

Best regards,
Thomas
