CommandBarTextBox; Dynamic width by content

I have a RadCommandBar docked (to the bottom). It contains 2 labels and 2 textboxes with 1 seperataror. Its 'RightToLeft' property is set to true. It looks something like this:

-------------------------------------------|---------------------------

label1 [ TextBox1 ] | label2 [ TextBox2 ]

-------------------------------------------|---------------------------

I'd like to make the width of TextBox1 depending on it's contents. E.g. when it contains "short" the width is 100px, but when "a somewhat longer text" is displayed e.g. 400px. The textboxes are readonly.

The properties "AutoSize" and "AutoSizeMode" of the RadCommandBar, CommandBarRowElement, CommandBarStripElement and CommandBarTextBox elements are set to True and Auto. The textbox doesn't resize when the textcontent changes?

How can I obtain this functionality?

Kind regards,
Raoul

Use SaveFileDialog in RadBrowseEditor

Hello,

I'd like to use a SaveFileDialog in a RadBrowseEditor. I saw it is possible to configure the editor to use OpenFileDialog or FolderBroseDialog, but is it possible to do so with the SaveFileDialog?

Thanks,
Cordially

RadSpellCheck - Dictionary Location?

How is a dictionary loaded into the RadSpellChecker (UI product)?

I'm working with the beta of the RichTextBox and I have been able to integrate it along with the RadRibbonUI control that you have provided (by the way quite nice, thanks). It was able to figure out that the SpellChecker associated with the RichTextBox is separate from the SpellChecker used to correct the spelling errors. I have been able to load a .tdf file from the web product into the RichTextBox.SpellChecker and only misspelled words are flagged in the RichTextBox and in the SpellChecker UI.

I can even add words to the dictionary and the additions are retained across uses of the program, so I know that my additions are being stored somewhere. But where?

Just to be clear. I do know how to load a dictionary into the DocumentSpellChecker that is associated with the RichTextBox but I do not know how to load a dictionary into the RadSpellChecker nor do I know where updates made via RadSpellChecker are stored.

Thanks for your help.

Button text disappears on resize

Dear Telerik team,

I have an issue and I can't find the right button property to set.

See my two attached screenshots: The first one shows the buttons as they should be displayed. The second one shows the problem that appears when I resize my form. Shortly before the button groups collapse, the buttons loose their text. As you can see, some of the buttons still have their text, but they also disappear on making the form smaller. My buttons do have StretchVertically and StretchHorizontally on true, but it didn't change anything setting them on false. Nor playing with the minSize and size attributes.

Can you help me, please?

Thanks in advance!
Regards
Fabian

Context menu event not triggered when right clicking some cells

In my RadGridView I capture the DropDownOpening events to pop up my own context menu like this:

this.ContextMenuGrid.DropDownOpening += new System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler (this.ContextMenuGrid_DropDownOpening);

One of the columns in the grid contains self references added like this

radGridView1.Relations.AddSelfReference(radGridView1.MasterTemplate, "Id", "AktivitetRef");

So, I get plus icons in the cells where references are available. When the cells containing the plus icon are right clicked, the event is triggered and I generate the context menu I want, but when other cells in that column are right clicked, the event is not triggered and a default context menu is displayed.

Why is the event not triggered? Any idea?

Expand/collapse icons turn up where not expected

In my RadGridView I have a comumn containing expand/collapse icons for some rows to drill down into referenced data. Sometimes when scrolling around the GUI these + and - icons start showing up in other columns were they are not expected. I guess something should be reset when drawin the graphics in the CellFormatting event, but what?

Drop down control on Document Window Tab

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to add a drop-down menu on the tab of a document window in the dock. It would be exactly same as the little down pointing arrow next to the close button on the right-hand side which lists the active documents. Just that I would want it on each tab next to that tab's close button.

Thanks!

How to change data in Gantt chart manually, in runtime?

Hi,

I've read the posts of the past 3 years, but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I have a Gantt chart that displays timespan information. The data structure is quite simple:
string Name;
double FromDate;
double ToDate;

I'd like the timespans to be manually changed by dragging beginning or the end of the Gantt data item. This change then should be reflected in the underlying data.

I tried to use BindlingList<MyObject> as the DataSource, but the problem is that I can't change the data on the chart.

Can you please help me out with this?

Thanks!
