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

RadGridView column with fullstop

Hi,

I am using radgridview in a project.   If the column contains fullstop ( '.' character) then the value is not getting displayed for that column though the value is saved in database.

Is there any workaround to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Pie RadChartView: context menu is not showing

Hello,

I am currently using the ChartView context menus to copy the graph to the clipboard. It works fine for all my ChartViews except those of type Pie. In fact, the default context menu (with only the "Palette" item) is not even showing.

Is it a known bug or am I missing something?
Best,
Mathias

Open a windows form in tabbed document

Is it possible to open a windows form in an already existing tab? I have predefined tabs in a DocumentTabStip and I want to open a windows form inside of the tab when the tab is selected.

Doing the following will fill the existing tab and create a new blank tab, but I just want to fill the existing tab. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but have been struggling for some time. If I eliminate the second line, I get an error.

Dim myForm As New Form1()

Me.DocumentWindow1.DockManager.DockControl(myForm, DocumentWindow1, DockPosition.Fill)

DocumentWindow1.Controls.Add(myForm)

Change theme in your Winforms Demo

Hi,

I recently installed RadControls for WinForms, Q2 2013 SP1, 13.2.725.0. When I ran the demo to see what was new, the demos all follow the Metro theme. In some past demos, there was a run-time link or control to re-style the demo to use another theme, but I did not see one is this demo. Hopefully it's there and I just missed it.

Frankly I'm not a fan of Metro's blocky, crayon-like primary-colored, squared-off appearance.

Is there any way to change the theme during the demo's run? Or would i have to go change the Demo's source code and rebuild it to do that?

Thanks!
-Bob

RadAutoCompleteBox IE10 Entry Auto Populated

I am employing many client-side events to show/hide two different AutoCompleteBoxes (RACB) based on certain conditions. I also target the entry added event to display some textboxes on the fly. Mostly everything is working well, however, IE10 is presenting some issues. Upon typing in a letter on the initial load of the control, the next matching record is automatically input into the RACB without actually selecting anything. Once it is removed, the RACB works as designed. It is only on the initial load of the control.
