Questions on UI for WinForms Forum

We're having an issue with the RadButton (2013Q1) whereby the text wrapping is failing when an image is included in the button.

It appears that the word wrap boundaries are calculated as if the image wasn't there, which is causing words to be cut off at certain button widths. The right border also appears to be getting overwritten.

To reproduce, create a RadButton on a form with the below settings. The image is any 32x32 image. Note that the word wrap shows "The Quick Bro" / "Fox" instead of "The Quick" / "Brown Fox". (Image attached.)

Does anybody know of any workarounds or fixes for this? Right now we're probably just going to remove the images entirely, since we can't restrict the text length for the buttons.

this.radButton1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 11F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));

this.radButton1.Image = global::TestPopup.Properties.Resources.Image32x32;

this.radButton1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(13, 13);

this.radButton1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(131, 44);

this.radButton1.Text = "The Quick Brown Fox";

this.radButton1.TextAlignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;

this.radButton1.TextImageRelation = System.Windows.Forms.TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText;

this.radButton1.TextWrap = true;

Thanks,
Dave

RadLabelElement RadRotator center

I'm trying to center, both vertically and horizontally, a RadLabelElement within a RadRotator. Does anyone know how this can be done? Below is my initial try.

RadLabelElement label = new RadLabelElement();

label.Text = slide.Text;

label.AutoSize = true;

label.AutoSizeMode = RadAutoSizeMode.FitToAvailableSize;

label.Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

label.StringAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;

radRotator1.Items.Add(label);

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

RadRibbonForm - Text (MDI application)

My MDI Parent is a RadRibbonForm. I want to set the text from the text in the active MDI Child form. If the text is "Program Security", my parent form text shows "Program Security - [Program Security]". What do I need to do to remove that redundancy?

Thank you,
Gary

[Solved] Pass value into ExcelTableCreated sub

I've read through the examples and forums and can't find an answer. In the code below you can see that a new row is added to the spreadsheet showing the "Exported" time and date. It is also formatted. That works fine.

What I want to do is pass a string into the sub that can be used in the AddCustomExcelRow to describe the contents of the grid that is being exported. Assume I have a grid showing "Top Investments". I would like to pass that string into the sub below and use it as a new row. I would want to pass a descriptive string from any grid I choose. Any ideas?

Public Sub exporter_ExcelTableCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.Export.ExcelML.ExcelTableCreatedEventArgs)

Dim subHeader As String = "Exported " & Now().ToString

Dim style1 As ExcelML.SingleStyleElement = (CType(sender, ExportToExcelML)).AddCustomExcelRow(e.ExcelTableElement, 0, subHeader)

style.FontStyle.Bold = True

style.FontStyle.Size = 11

style1.FontStyle.Color = Color.RoyalBlue

Multiple different series

Hello,

I've got a chart working with several line series (see 4a).

I'd like to see how to incorporate different type of line series, perhaps bar chart, more of a "threshold" chart correlating X and Y axes (see 4b).

Is something like this possible using Telerik RadChartView?

*Edit*: not sure the terminology here. I believe it's known as a "range bar". In our case we want to illustrate thresholds, that sort of thing.

Regards,

Michael Powell

ListView Drag & Drop causes Application Crash

Hello,

we have a problem with the Telerik ListView Drag & Drop function.

There are two ListViews that are enabled for drag and drop. If we drag an item from the first to the second list, the application crashes.
Also, I created a new, empty solution and only added two list views (drag & drop is allowed by properties). There, we have the same problem.

- Object reference error
   bei Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewDragDropService.UpdateDragHintLocation(Point mousePosition)
   bei Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewDragDropService.HandleMouseMove(Point mousePos)
   bei Telerik.WinControls.RadDragDropService.Telerik.WinControls.IMessageListener.PreviewMessage(Message& msg)
   bei Telerik.WinControls.RadMessageFilter.NotifyGetMessageEvent(Message& msg)
   bei Telerik.WinControls.RadMessageFilter.GetMessageHookProc(Int32 code, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)

Thanks for your help!

Is RadDock my solution here?

The attached picture shows a UI that I have been copying. In my version of this UI there is a FlowLayoutPanel with my user controls on it. On the right (what I want to build now) is what I think is a ToolWindow. This ToolWindow cannot be moved; it's docked on the right. That's where it stays. It can be pinned or unpinned; nothing else. It expands out over the FlowLayoutPanel.

I think RadDock is what I should use and, if so, I'm just a couple details away from making what I want. If there's a better choice I'd like to hear (read) it. But, if not:

1. How do I make a ToolWindow stay docked and not allow the user to move it anywhere?

I found the forum response for the buttons so that there is only the pin:

toolWindow1.ToolCaptionButtons =

ToolStripCaptionButtons.AutoHide;

2. How do I make that "Pin" button start out not pinned? I want the ToolWindow to be collapsed.

3. How do I get a content area in the RadDock that doesn't have tabs or anything? Basically, I want a rectangular shape that contains my user controls (in a scrolling container) and the ToolWindow...no tabs, no titles, nothing else.

Thank you,
Gary

DateTime Picker and Null

I am deriving a custom control from the RadDateTimePicker (version: 2011.1.11.419 or Q1 2011) trying to get it to work with null values. We need it to display an empty string when bound to a null value. For the most part this is working with the code below.

public new DateTime? Value

{

get

{

if (_value.HasValue)

return _value.Value;

return _value;

}

set

{

if (_value != value)

{

_value = value;

OnValueChanged(new EventArgs());

}

public new DateTime? NullDate

{

get { return _nullDate; }

set { _nullDate = null; }

}

void AmDateTextBox_ValueChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

if (this.Value == null)

{

this.SetToNullValue();

}

else

{

this.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Text = this.Value.Value.ToShortDateString();

}

If I am viewing a record with a date value and change to another record with a date value all is well. If I then change to a record with a null date it displays fine. But when I change back to a record with a date value nothing is displayed. I would also like to remove the hard coded format in the Value Changed event handler. I am binding RadDateTimePicker.Value to a DateTime? field on Csla objects not a data table.

Thanks,
