Q32012 SP1 changes... how to revert appearance?

Hello, this is a quick post to see if there's a way I can revert back to the pre-SP1 (released yesterday) appearance of the split container control. (This project needs to go out today and I probably shouldn't have updated without leaving myself more time).

According to the release notes:

FIXED: Theme settings are applied only to the first SplitterElement.
FIXED: The image set for the grip of the splitters is not shown for all splitters.

I wasn't using a specific theme (default), and the splitter was a blue color (on my system) without a grip (they are fixed panels). Now it is gray with a grip.

Given more time, I'm sure I could find the properties, but if you could help, I'd appreciate it!!

Thanks,
Dan

DatetimePicker Time Format

I have a datetime picker that has a time format.
I'm wondering if it is possible to:

1. remove the seconds part, so it would only be HH:MM AM/PM?

2. limit the time that can be chosen (e.g. 8 AM to 5 PM)

2. set the interval of increasing and decreasing the Minutes part to 30 instead of 1?

EDIT:

Nevermind Question # 1.

CustomFormat in the properties gets the job done.

Conditional Formatting Based on Other Rows

Hi,

I am using Telerik for Winforms version 2012.3.1017.40. I am using a RadGridView control to display some data.

The following is always true:
- First columns is a date
- All other columns are numeric
- I do not know at design time how many other columns there will be
- The data is at regular intervals (e.g. each row is a 2 minute step)

I am trying to achieve the following functionality:
For each cell value cell:
    Determine value
    Determine Previous Value
    If difference greater than 5:
        backcolour = green
    else if difference less than -5:
        backcolour = red

The 'previous value' cannot necessarily look at the previous row, I do not know what custom sorting the user will have done. Rather the previous value should be taken from the row at the previous point in time (according to the first column(date)).

I could achieve this by querying the underlying datasource (a DataTable) on the CellFormatting event, but can't help wandering if there is an easier way!

Thanks for any assistance.

Insert in gridview

We are using RadControls for WinForms Q3 2009 SP1.
In gridview control , we are using GroupByExpressions to club datas together.
When we try to insert a row at custom location , it works weird .Instead of inserting a row at custom location, it puts a row in new group.
See the attachment files for more details.

set RowElement.BackColor in RowFormatting event

I am able to change the font but not the backcolor. The line that sets the color is indeed being executed (e.RowElement.BackColor = ....) but the color does not change. What am I failing to do?

void grid_RowFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.RowFormattingEventArgs e)

{

try

{

if ((grid.MasterTemplate.Columns.Contains("colARRIVE")) && (grid.MasterTemplate.Columns.Contains("colDEPART")))

{

if ((TimeSpan)e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells["colARRIVE"].Value == (TimeSpan) e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells["colDEPART"].Value)

{

e.RowElement.Font = new Font(e.RowElement.Font, FontStyle.Strikeout);

}

else

{

e.RowElement.Font = new Font(e.RowElement.Font, FontStyle.Regular);

}

if (e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells["colSRC"].Value.ToString() == "O")

{

e.RowElement.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.AliceBlue;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

}

Problem with validation and scrolling in GridView

We have found a serious bug in RadGridView for WinForms, whereby the user can become completely "trapped" in the application when entering an invalid value in a cell, then scrolling the grid.

You can reproduce the behaviour using the Winforms demo application: Demo Application - RadControls for WinForms Q3 2012:

1. Enter an invalid value in a cell, and press enter.
2. Scroll the grid, by clicking in the scroll bar.
3. Now you're stuck, if you scroll back the entered value is gone, but the row is still in error.

You are truly stuck, you can't clear the original error. The only way out I found is to force quit the demo application via the Task Manager.

By the way, don't click the down scroll box (I mean the little triangle at the bottom of the scroll bar) or the app will start scrolling endlessly and eventually crash.

So, how to work around this? One suggestion is to override the CloseEditor :

Public Class MyGridViewEditManager

Inherits GridViewEditManager

Public Sub New(ByVal gridView As RadGridViewElement)

MyBase.New(gridView)

End Sub

Public Overrides Function CloseEditor() As Boolean

Dim closeOnFail As Boolean = Me.CloseEditorWhenValidationFails

Me.CloseEditorWhenValidationFails = True

Dim result As Boolean = MyBase.CloseEditor()

Me.CloseEditorWhenValidationFails = closeOnFail

Return result

End Function

End Class

and then in the New() of the form (where MyGridView is the name of my grid):

Me.MyGridView.GridViewElement.EditorManager = New MyGridViewEditManager(Me.MyGridView.GridViewElement)

This kind of works, but it always closes the editor whenever the user clicks anywhere outside the invalid cell. It avoids the problem of being trapped, but the behaviour is strange - you wouldn't expect the invalid value to disappear when you click outside the cell. The desired behaviour is that the editor is closed if the user scrolls.

One approach I tried without success is to disable scrolling while a grid cell is in edit mode, but no luck.

Does anyone have a good workaround for this tricky problem?

I am trying to get/set the value to and from XML but cannot see how I can achieve this with this control. For example, provided it is possible, will it remember when it is UTC or Local.
