UserAddedRow for dynamically create RadGridViews

hi,
i have an application where i am creating gridviews at run time. at a given time, the application can have 1 or x number of girdviews, each being hooked with the UserAddedRow event:

void myGrid_UserAddedRow(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { }

how can i, using the "sender" or the "e" parementers of the event handler get a reference to the associated GridView? the sender here is a Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewTemplate for which i am not able to find a property which would return the GridView object.

thanks.

Draging a Appointment in Month View changes the Times to 00:00

Why would dragging an appointment in Month-View reset the times for the Appointment

While dragging the appointment in the Week-view or the Day-view does not change the times

How would I resolve this?

Hi Telerik Team,

We are using the Conditional formatting dialog of RadGridView.
Our application is in German, I have localized the dialog. In the dialog, there are three strings, which can not be localizes with the LocalizationProvider. I marked them in the attached image. Is it possible, to change these strings? The most important one is the text "Sort columns alphabetically".

Thank you for help,

tool window auto hide but not collapse

i have a raddock with 2 areas, the top is a doc manager and the bottom is a tool window.
i have the tool window buttons set to only autohide. when the user auto hides though, i want it to stay open to a certain size. (say 300 px tall) instead of collapsing. this would let them still see and edit stuff on the tool window. when they open and pin it, it should be bigger (say 700 px etc). so it's not really collapsing, just being made smaller. is there a way to do this with the tool window or something similar?

thanks!

Index out of range exception in hierarchical grid with custum multi select behavior

Hi,

I have a hierarchical grid with custom multi select behavior.
I recently upgraded to Q3 2012. Now I get an exception when I try to select multiple rows that have childrows with the mouse.
This is the exception:

Not select first row (CurrentRow, index out of range)

Hi all,
Ive read on the forums that if I dont want the first row in my gridview to be selected whenever I bind to a datasource, i could set the "CurrentRow" to nothing.

I use version: 2012.3.1211.20

When I try this however, I get an "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection"

I have binded my grid to a list of my custom object.
Then ive tried the following:

gridview1.CurrentRow = nothing
and
gridview1.ClearSelection()

Both commands result in the "Index out of range"

Anybody else experienced the same problem?

Thanks.

NoSelection problem

I have a combobox which is bound to a list of DictionaryEntries. And I would like that when the form is shown no item is selected (SelectedItem = null).

Test program

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

Bind(GetList());

Print("Before show");

}

public void Bind(

List<DictionaryEntry> p_List)

{

radDropDownList1.ValueMember = "Key";

radDropDownList1.DisplayMember = "Value";

radDropDownList1.DataSource = p_List;

radDropDownList1.SelectedIndex = -1;

radDropDownList1.SelectedItem = null;

radDropDownList1.SelectedValue = null;

}

private List<DictionaryEntry> GetList()

{

return new List<DictionaryEntry>

{

new DictionaryEntry(0, "Entry 0"),

new DictionaryEntry(1, "Entry 1")

};

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Bind(GetList());

Print("rebind");

}

private void Print(string p_Message)

{

richTextBox1.AppendText(String.Format("{2}\nSelectedIndex = {0}\nSelectedValue = {1}\n\n",

radDropDownList1.SelectedIndex, radDropDownList1.SelectedValue, p_Message));

}

private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Print("OnShow");

}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Print("Print state");

}

The problem is that when the form is shown DropDownList automatically selects first element in the list (SelectedIndex, SelectedItem,.. are updated but Text is not).
If I rebind after the form is shown DropDownList works correctly.

Can I bind a list in a way that Form.Show will not select the first element in the list (SelectedItem = null)?

Adding an exception programmatically

Would it be possible to get a code sample in C# of adding an exception with visible set to false to a recurring appointment? I can't seem to get it to work in my project and I can't find any clear cut examples anywhere.

Thanks,
