change color of weekday names in grouped radscheduler

Hello,
I am using RADScheduler Q3-2012 and find the text color of the resource headers hard to read on the dark background when grouped. I found the code to change the color of the header on timeline view in this forum(thanks) and figured out how to change day, week and month but I would also like to change the header that shows the name of the weekdays in monthview since that is also too dark to read when grouped.
Any help in how to address these colors would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I have so far:

Private Sub adjustGroupHeader()

If RadScheduler1.GroupType = GroupType.Resource And RadScheduler1.ActiveViewType = SchedulerViewType.Timeline Then

Dim element As TimelineGroupingByResourcesElement = TryCast(Me.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement, TimelineGroupingByResourcesElement)

element.Font = New Font("Arial", 22)

element.ForeColor = Color.Yellow

End If

If RadScheduler1.GroupType = GroupType.Resource And RadScheduler1.ActiveViewType = SchedulerViewType.Day Then

Dim element As SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement = TryCast(Me.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement, SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement)

element.Font = New Font("Arial", 16)

element.ForeColor = Color.Yellow

End If

If RadScheduler1.GroupType = GroupType.Resource And RadScheduler1.ActiveViewType = SchedulerViewType.Week Then

Dim element As SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement = TryCast(Me.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement, SchedulerDayViewGroupedByResourceElement)

element.Font = New Font("Arial", 16)

element.ForeColor = Color.Yellow

End If

If RadScheduler1.GroupType = GroupType.Resource And RadScheduler1.ActiveViewType = SchedulerViewType.Month Then

Dim element As SchedulerMonthViewGroupedByResourceElement = TryCast(Me.RadScheduler1.SchedulerElement.ViewElement, SchedulerMonthViewGroupedByResourceElement)

element.Font = New Font("Arial", 16)

element.ForeColor = Color.Yellow

'code needed to change forecolor/backcolor of weekday names

End If

End Sub

Year RadCalendard for PublicHollidays

Hello Telerik Team

Small introduction:

I plan to use a RadCalendard on a project for display and edit the public holiday over a year. The list of public holiday is stored in a SQL database (one row is one day) and the data are fetch with EntityFramework. These days are also listed on a listview (with a filter based on the current year displayed on the calendard) for a different point of view. To add a new public holiday, has to doubleclick on the corresponding date in the calendar.

My RadYearCalendar is called YearCalendar

The public holiday are store in an entity called Jourferie with the following properties :

ID As Integer
Jour As Date
Description As String

IsPaid As Boolean

The ToString() Function have an override for displaying the date and the description of a Jourferie

My Radlistview is called ListJourFerie

I use a modal forms Add_Jourferie to get the description and the IsPaid properties when a new public holiday is added.

On this project I use Aqua theme (Not the best choice I agree, but my end-users love Appel's Stuff so...)

I appologize for the frenchy comments on my code !

Okay, so what I have done (could help someone else):

A multiview calendard which display 12 month from january to december, with a correct year navigation.
Fetch the data in my database, populate the special date and my listview.

Private Sub View_Calendrier_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'We do not want to bind to database in design mode !

If Not Me.DesignMode Then

_datactx = New IconEntities(ConnectionManager.GetConnection())

'Charge les données des jours feriés

Me.ListJourFerie.DataSource = _datactx.Jourferie.OrderBy(Function(c) c.Jour)

Me.YearCalendar.SpecialDays.Clear()

For Each holidayDay As JourFerie In _datactx.Jourferie

Me.YearCalendar.SpecialDays.Add(New RadCalendarDay(holidayDay.Jour))

Next

'Déplace le calendrier sur l'année courante

Me.YearCalendar.FocusedDate = New Date(Today.Year, 1, 1)

End If

End Sub

Filtering my listview using the period displayed on the calendard

Private Sub YearCalendar_ViewChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles YearCalendar.ViewChanged

If Not Me.YearCalendar.IsLoaded Then Exit Sub

Try

'Active le filtrage si nécessaire

If Not Me.ListJourFerie.EnableFiltering Then Me.ListJourFerie.EnableFiltering = True

'Supprime les filtres actifs

Me.ListJourFerie.FilterDescriptors.Clear()

'Filtre la liste afin d'afficher les enregistrements selon l'affichage du calendrier

Me.ListJourFerie.FilterDescriptors.Add("Jour",

Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo,

Me.YearCalendar.DefaultView.Children(0).ViewStartDate)

Me.ListJourFerie.FilterDescriptors.Add("Jour",

Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator.IsLessThanOrEqualTo,

Me.YearCalendar.DefaultView.Children(11).ViewEndDate)

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, ex.GetType.ToString)

End Try

End Sub

Creation of a new public holiday on doubleclick over a date

Private Sub YearCalendar_DoubleClick(sender As System.Object, e As Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles YearCalendar.MouseDoubleClick

Dim cell As CalendarCellElement = TryCast(Me.YearCalendar.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location), CalendarCellElement)

If cell IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not cell.VisualState.Contains("Header") Then

Dim formAddJour As New Add_Jourferie()

formAddJour.Jour.Text = cell.Date.ToShortDateString

If formAddJour.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

Dim newrecord As New JourFerie() With {.Jour = cell.Date,

.Description = formAddJour.Description.Text,

.IsPaid = formAddJour.IsPaid.Checked}

_datactx.Jourferie.AddObject(newrecord)

Try

_datactx.SaveChanges()

Me.YearCalendar.SpecialDays.Add(New RadCalendarDay(newrecord.Jour))

Me.ListJourFerie.DataSource = _datactx.Jourferie.OrderBy(Function(c) c.Jour)

Catch ex As UpdateException

MsgBox(String.Format("{0}{1}{2}", ex.Message, vbNewLine, ex.InnerException.Message), MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, ex.GetType.ToString())

_datactx.Jourferie.DeleteObject(newrecord)

End Try

End If

End Sub

But I need some help for :

To hidde CellEment (also SpecialDays) in a CalendarTableElement when the day don't belong to the month. The default theme show a different style for theses days, but not Aqua theme. Also some specials days are displaying twice (on two CalendarTableElement) and this make the calendar not very clear. My boss will thinks that's there are too much public holiday and will make a heart attack.
The focused date and today should display as other date because these informations are usless (in my case of course) and could hide a public holiday.
Adding bold to month name.
Change style on the weekend's CellElement
Change style on the specialDay's CellElement (I don't really like the dark blue)

By the way... :

Having a fast CalendardDayCollection.AddRange(IEnumerable Of Date) function would be great ! I haven't find something else than than an old "For Each Next Loop" for adding SpecialDays from my datasource. Each date takes 200 ms to add. It's not really fast.
The listview do not update when it's databound to a ObjectSet (even with a datasource = Nothing and datasource = ObjectSet !). I have to use ObjectSet.Tolist() for a correct update. I Don't know if it is a correct behavior?

Making a split panel a spliter

Hi,

I would like to have three split panels in a split container, where I will be able to move the middle split panel as if it was a spliter , i.e. the middle split panel has a fixed size and moving it up or down, changes the size of the top and bottom split panels. The reason that I want to work this way, is that I want to added controllers to the middle split container ,such as drop down combo box.
How can this be done?

Thanks
Meir

Theme Support for Metro

We are trying to make our WinForrm app look better and support touch in Win8. Will the Telerik theme support do this for us? Will it work with normal WinForm controls or do we have to change everything over to Telerik controls?

Thanks,

exporttocsv with option EncloseDataWithQuotes in winforms

Hello Team

I got a strange problem with winform gridview when exported to .csv , it exported the gridview data to .csv with enclosed quotes,

        "1"     "12.01" "22.01" "33.768"        "2.12344"       "5655.34"
        "1"     "13.01" "23.01" "34.768"        "2.12344"       "5656.34"
