Localization Conditional Formatting Dialog

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:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

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)?

Losing Margin after HTML import

I am using IncrementParagraphLeftIndent() to increase the left margin. When I export using the html provider I can see the margin has been set in the Style for that run.

<style type="text/css">
.p_6F87C71A { margin: 0px 0px 0px 28px;text-align: left;text-indent: 0pt;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; }
.s_6BF1D20F { font-family: 'Calibri';font-style: normal;font-size: 16px;color: #000000; }
</style><p class="p_6F87C71A"><span class="s_6BF1D20F">This text should be indented</span></p>

However, when I import using the html provider the margin setting is lost. When I export again I can see the margin is set to 0.

<style type="text/css">
.p_384D933F { margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;text-align: left;text-indent: 0pt;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; }
.s_6BF1D20F { font-family: 'Calibri';font-style: normal;font-size: 16px;color: #000000; }
</style><p class="p_384D933F"><span class="s_6BF1D20F">This text should be indented</span></p>

Here's the code I'm using for Import/Export:

        private static HtmlFormatProvider _htmlFormatProvider;
 
        private static void InitHtmlFormatProvider()
        {
            _htmlFormatProvider = new HtmlFormatProvider();
            var htmlExportSettings = new HtmlExportSettings();
            htmlExportSettings.DocumentExportLevel = DocumentExportLevel.Fragment;
            _htmlFormatProvider.ExportSettings = htmlExportSettings;
        }
 
        private void commandBarButtonLoad_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string text = File.ReadAllText(@"c:\temp\RichText.txt");
            RadDocument document = _htmlFormatProvider.Import(text);
            radRichTextBox1.Document = document;
        }
 
 
        private void commandBarButtonSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string html = _htmlFormatProvider.Export(radRichTextBox1.Document);
            File.WriteAllText(@"c:\temp\RichText.txt", html);            
        }
