I'd like to have my documents tab strip always show the same document in the first tab, but let the other tabbed documents be rearranged. I've got the close button functionality working (the first document cannot be closed, the others can), but I can't seem to get the drag/drop constraints working. I have made it so the first document cannot be dragged (by setting TabStripItem.AllowDrag), but it's still possible to drag a different document in front of the one I want locked as the first document. 

In approaching this problem, I haven't been able to find an event I could cancel to achieve the effect. Another approach might be to rearrange the tabs if I notice they've changed (e.g. when the ActiveWindowChanged event fires), but its not obvious how to rearrange the tabs programmatically. 

Any pointers?

Hi,

Is there an event that is exposed that can be used to capture the user double-clicking on the StartButtonImage on the RibbonBar?

I would like for my application to close when the image is double-clicked.

Thanks,

Do you guys have an example on how I would remember the whether the user selected or deselected the “Show description” and “Show toolbar” settings in the property grid context menu? I tried casting the items as a PropetyGridMenuItem in the RadContextMenu_DropDownClosed event, but IsChecked is always set to true. Here is the code:

Dear Forum readers,

I am new to Telerik's Winforms controls and must first say that I am impressed with them. The music library demo especially inspired me because of its "cover flow" look. I decided to give it a spin ;-) and try to implement this in one of our products.
So I chose to use a Bezier path as in the example and started adding items... (paintings in my case).
The problem that I encountered is that I have a variable number of images that are attached to a database record. The number of images gan be anything from 1... n What I want to achieve is that the selected image is always in the centre (middle) position. This works great for an odd number of items, but not for an even number of items. In the case of an even numberof items there are two images at the centre sitting side by side. The situation even becomes weirder when the number of items falls below 3:
If there are only two items then each of them sits at the end of the Bezier path, with nothing in the middle, when there is only a single item then this is placed at the end of the Bezier path and the animation becomes weird too: it "flashes" twice on display (not what you want).

This is the arrangement that i would expect:

5 items

5            1
    4     3
       2

4 items:

4
    3     1
        2

3 items:

3       1
    2

2 items:

2
     1

1 item:

       1

I have created a small Visual studio 2010 project that illustrates my problem. Yoiu can download it at : ftp://ftp.adlibsoft.com/pub/outgoing/carouseltest.zip Does anyone know how I can achieve what I want with the radCarousel ? I tried different Bezier paths for 2 or 1 items. Tha "kind of" works, but I am still stuck with the double animation when there is only a single item. Turning the animation off helps, but that is also not what one wants.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I want to create a custom control (C#) inherited from RadListControl so that my new control will have a click event for the list's items (not the control itself - since, undesirably, the scroll bar triggers the control's event).

Which control event can I override so I can subscribe to the item's double-click event?  I expected an item_added or similar event but don't see one.

I can do this (but it is ugly and doesn't handle new items being added later):

I was a bit frustrated with the collapsing feature that hides the text of the buttons when the window is not wide enough, because only the buttons are affected, not the dropdownbuttons and splitbuttons, leading to a weird looking result when they are mixed in a same group.

I found the following solution: derive from DropDownButton, and override CreateChildElements with

            e.RowElement.DrawFill = True
            e.RowElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid

I tried     e.RowElement.Font.Bold = True

Hi,

I am using a Datasource to populate the gridview. The databinding is done via the propertybuilder at the design time. The Grid works fine when the database connection is established. however when there is an error connecting the database an empty grid is shown and there is no error thrown out.  

Here is the high level data flow:
GridView <-> bindingDataSource <-> dataset (mapped to a database table) 

The dataset is generated automatically and mainly configured via XSD. The database access is done via Integrated Security (via windows authentication)

Where is the best place to handle database connection error (for example connection failure, user connection reject)?

.Net version 4.0
Windows Forms version 2013.2 724

Thanks
