WinForm controls to build a scrum-like status board

Which Telerik WinForm controls would you recommend I use to create the status board described below?

I want to show a scrum-like status board with four columns (e.g. Pending, In Progress, In Review, and Done). I'd like to show zero or more "cards" stacked vertically down from the top of each column. I'm imagining each card to be a user control with an aggregation of 4 or 5 rad controls, perhaps even resembling a small index card.

I'd like to bind the status board to a SQL view which contains a record for each "card" and a field on each record indicating the correct column for which that item belongs.

I am new to the Telerik controls, and trying to decide which of the many Telerik controls to use to build the status board. One idea is to have four single column grid controls side-by-side, each bound to the SQL View and filtered on the particular column. I used this approach in an MS Access prototype. Grid controls might be overkill, though. Perhaps side-by-side ListView controls might work if those allow embedded usercontrols. Or, you might have a much better idea, or point me to other posts that I missed.

Note that the entire status board will reside in a resizable panel in an Outlook style application. Your "OutlookTypeApp.sln" posted elsewhere (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/general-discussions/which-controls-should-i-use-for-outlook-type-application.aspx) was very helpful!

Thank you for any help you can give in pointing me in the right direction.

Child Controls in RibbonBar

Hi There,

I am very new to Telerik winform controls and trying to use RadRibbonBar and would like to get all the child elements (i.e. start menu items, buttons, group boxes etc) from the ribbon bar in a control collection. I want to enable and disable the specific controls based on user rights.

Please let me know if there is any possibility to get around that.

Cheers,

Robert

Printing and Print Preview

Is there a flag or argument that would differentiate the purpose in the IPrintable:PrintPage function.

I would like to modify what the print preview looks like as opposed to what is actually being sent to the printer. Our printers prints everything in Landscape, even though the the page orientation is Portrait. (yes its a specialized printer) . So I would like the user to be able to read it on the screen in Horizontal, but when I send it to the printer itself, Id like the text to be Vertical.

For PrintPreview I am using the RadGdiGraphics, and Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.TextParams.

Currently I have it set as

tp.textOrientation = Orientation.Vertical

Which is what needs to be sent to the printer, but for print preview I would like

tp.textOrientation = Orientation.Horizontal

-------

Could this be accomplished using a PrintController. I've see limited documentation on that, and no examples, or explanation of exactly what it does, or allow you to programatically control.

Thanks in advance.

Cant able to clear filter value in GridViewDateTimeColumn

HI,

I am not able to clear filter value in GridViewDateTimeColumn while pressing delete key or backspace key. Instead of clear it resets to default date. Whether can we set any key down event explicitly in that DateTimePIcker or was there any other way to clear filter value when press delete key.

Accessing child elements of a Custom ListView Item

Hi Guys

I'm want to create a listview of items where the item has a waiting bar which appears when the item is pressed and disappears again once a long running process kicked off by the press has completed. I have successfully built the custom item but when I go to the ItemMouseClick event of the listview I'm not sure how to access the waiting bar element so that I can make it visible and set it running.

Many thanks in advance

regards
Ian Carson

I am implemening it in this way:

FilterDescriptor filter = new FilterDescriptor();

filter.PropertyName = objComboBox.DisplayMember;

filter.Operator =

FilterOperator.Contains;

objComboBox.EditorControl.MasterTemplate.FilterDescriptors.Add(filter);
but it's take a lot of time when the filter is auto complete.
Please how to make filtering in this controll and dont take a time.
Note: When i am not using AutoSizeDropDownToBestFit it's( Filter) works fine and i dont have delay( my data source have more then 1000 items and 3 columns), but when i have Combo which have more then 3 column and the size of DropDown is less, than the user can not see what have in that control.
What is your suggestion to eliminate this issue.
Best regards,
