RadTextBox/RadDropDownList and the Context Menu

I have a RadTextBox and RadDropDownList (DropDown style) on a winform and when I right click at runtime the context menu that pops up contains the usual cut/copy/paste items but it also has "Right to left Reading order", "Show Unicode control characters", "Insert Unicode control character", "Open IME" and "Reconversion" items. How can I disable/hide these unwanted context menu items?

Thanks!

ScreenTip Delay

I am using the ScreenTip feature to show some extra info in my RadGridView row when mousing over. That is working great but the delay is a bit much before it pops up when you mouse over it. I noticed here that the regular ToolTip has lots of properties that can be set to adjust this:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/gridview/tooltip-visible-time.aspx

I am wondering if you can include some code with samples here on how to do the same thing with the ScreenTip. Changing the code from that sample around didn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance!

Sorting Grouped GridViewComboBoxColumn

I have combobox column that is populated with id's and set up to show the given name as a display member. I also set DisplayMemberSort to true.

' create location combo box column

col = grdPurchases.Columns("location_id")

col.DataSource = locations ' DataGrid with "id" and "name" columns

col.DisplayMember = "name"

col.ValueMember = "id"

col.DisplayMemberSort = True

This works great and sorting the column sorts by display member and not value member like it should. But when I group by this column it seems to revert back to sorting by value member when sorting the groups.

' create default groupings

Dim locationDescriptor As New GroupDescriptor()

locationDescriptor.GroupNames.Add("location_id", System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Ascending)

grdPurchases.GroupDescriptors.Add(locationDescriptor)

Is this supposed to happen? Is there a different way to keep sorting by display member?

AutoCompleteBox: Cancel creation of new tag

Telerik,

If my program detects that new tag has been created, then I would like to have a message box prompting the user if they want to create the new tag. If they choose 'No' then the tag will not be created.

How would I cancel the creation of a new tag?

Thanks

Keet the hightlights of selected item when lost the focus

Hey! I'm new using the RadlistView and I'm trying to use it with custom items. I'm working in winforms with c# and I've populated the ListView with some entities (working with entity framework) and used the VisualItemCreating for give them format (my list is on listview mode and each item has a picture).
Now I'm a little confused, how can I keep the highlitght on the selected item when the control lost the focus (I have more controls where I edit the info of the selected items)? And btw how can I format the highlight (when the items have the focus and when don't)?
thanks!

Juan.

[Solved] GridViewComboBoxColumn Query

If have some related data in a couple of IList<> that I have read from SQL Server using Fluent NHibernate.

If have object of the following class in a list

public class Media

{

public virtual int Id { get; set; }

public virtual string Name { get; set; }

public virtual decimal Halo { get; set; }

public virtual decimal ExchangeRate { get; set; }

public virtual int DecimalPlaces { get; set; }

public virtual bool IsCash { get; set; }

public virtual MediaProperty Property { get; set; }

}

and I have objects of this class in a list also

public class MediaProperty

{

public virtual int Id { get; set; }

public virtual string Name { get; set; }

public virtual bool InUse { get; set; }

public virtual bool IsForeign { get; set; }

public virtual bool TenderingProhibited { get; set; }

public virtual bool OverTenderingProhibited { get; set; }

public virtual bool TenderingZeroBalanceProhibited { get; set; }

public virtual bool NoChangeFromThisMedia { get; set; }

public virtual bool NoChangeGiven { get; set; }

public virtual bool TenderingCompulsory { get; set; }

public virtual bool ChangeGoesToTips { get; set; }

public virtual bool ChangeFromSelectedMedia { get; set; }

public virtual Enumerations.CidAffect AffectsCid { get; set; }

public virtual Enumerations.DrawerOpen OpensDrawer { get; set; }

}

In my WinForms application I want to edit the MediaProperty value in a drop down list, and select the MediaProperty by the Name field in the list. The RadGridView has its DataSource property set as the list of Media, how do I configure the GridViewComboBoxColumn to provide the functionality I want.

Thanks in advance

keyPress Event not firing

I'm trying to handle the KeyPress Event in the grid but it is never triggered ? I've tried the KeyUp and KeyDown too.
Once i set the TabStop property to true, i get the KeyUp event triggered but then again the next cell is not selected.

Question 1:
How can i handle the tab being press to move in the grid?

Question 2:
I also see that when TabStop is set to false, pressing the tab key moves the focus to the next cell and if rows are available bellow will move the focus to the first cell of next row when being at the end of a row. But this does not trigger the CurrentRowChanged? Is this normal ?

Thanks

[Solved] Hyperlink Column and Expression col FormatString

Hi,

I have a few issues and am using version 2012.2.608.20.

1) Hyperlink column ignores TextAlignment property for column and I have also set this with cell.ContentElement.TextAligment in the CellFormatting event. Neither will center the column contents.

2) My Hyperlink column does not contain a url, but simply is used to launch a detail form (it is a date field). The HyperlinkOpened/HyperlinkOpening have no effect and do not execute when the Hyperlink column/text is clicked. Is it possible to use the Hyperlink column for something other than a url?

3) I have used the Expression property of a textbox column to add the totals of other columns and this works. However, I have set the FormatString to {0:C2} and it does not work. The column is unformatted and does not show the $ sign or the comma in the number. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,
David A.
