When is the databinding process complete

Hi

I have simple scenario in which a RadDropDownList is populated from a small table in a database. After it has been populated if needed I need to select the Item or index or display value programmatically.
Also there is no problem with diplaying the items the items and the selection process works fine, items are diplayed in order.

I have tried to set all the fields that I can with respect to the databinding
here is the windows autogen code for the form where the dropdown resides

//

// MachineTypeDropDownList

//

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.AutoCompleteDisplayMember = "M_Type";

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.AutoCompleteValueMember = "MachineID";

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("SelectedIndex", this.machineDataBindingSource, "MachineID", true));

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("SelectedItem", this.machineDataBindingSource, "M_Name", true));

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("SelectedValue", this.machineDataBindingSource, "MachineID", true));

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", this.machineDataBindingSource, "M_Name", true));

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DataSource = this.machineDataBindingSource;

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DisplayMember = "M_Type";

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(182, 52);

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Name = "MachineTypeDropDownList";

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(136, 20);

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.TabIndex = 0;

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Text = "System.Data.DataViewManagerListItemTypeDescriptor";

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.ValueMember = "MachineID";

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DataBindingComplete += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListBindingCompleteEventHandler(this.MachineTypeDropDownList_DataBindingComplete);

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Initialized += new System.EventHandler(this.MachineTypeDropDownList_Initialized);

In the form constructor InitializeComponent() is called after that I try to set the value of selected item of dropdown.
at this point Items count is still 0

this

.MachineTypeDropDownList.DropDownListElement.Items.Count

or 

this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Items.Count

i have tried to use the lisener for databound compeleted but items are still 0

private void MachineTypeDropDownList_DataBindingComplete(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListBindingCompleteEventArgs e)

{

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DropDownListElement.Items --------------------------------" + this.MachineTypeDropDownList.DropDownListElement.Items.Count);

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Items --------------------------------" + this.MachineTypeDropDownList.Items.Count);

}

I get the same result after when i try

private void MachineTypeDropDownList_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e){}

My question is at what point , or what event signals that the binding process is complete and further manipulation of the dropdownlist can comence?
Why is it that by the end of the form contructor code, the binding has not happened yet.

Thank you very much for any pointers to understand the telerik framework better

Order of Events for Cell Formating

Hi There

I'm having some trouble with the order of events for the Cell Format

We do some conditional cell formatting based on values returned from a database, such as what days to block - holidays etc
I managed to get it to work fine the first time round

The issue arises on the following Navigator events

NavigateBackwardsClick
NavigateForwadsClick

as the following event fires before the Navigate event

Scheduler.CellFormating

This seems quite strange, I would have thought that they would be reversed.

How can I call a refresh of the data method and which event should it go in

exceptionTimes = _service.GetSchedulerExceptionTimesByDateRange(RangeStartDate, RangeEndDate)

As putting the values in the Navigate events makes the cellformating event use the previous
range of exception times for the previous date range as defined before the navigate event.

Below is some example code

Private Sub snMain_NavigateBackwardsClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles snMainNav.NavigateBackwardsClick
 
    RangeStartDate = rsScheduler.ActiveView.StartDate.AddDays(-1)
    RangeEndDate = rsScheduler.ActiveView.EndDate.AddDays(1)
 
    exceptionTimes = GetSchedulerExceptionTimesByDateRange(, RangeStartDate, RangeEndDate)
    GetAppointmentsByDateRange()
 
 End Sub
 
Private Sub rsScheduler_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As SchedulerCellEventArgs) Handles rsScheduler.CellFormatting
    ' Other Code 
    For Each Exception In exceptionTimes
        'Block etc
 
    Next
 
End Sub

[Solved] Custom

Hello,

Edit: Sorry for topic name. Can't update it after posting.

I have RadMultiColumnComboBox in GridView.
I replace editor for that column like that:

private void GridView_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)

{

if (e.EditorType == typeof(RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement))

{

PersonChecker newEditor = new PersonChecker();

e.Editor = newEditor;

}

and this is my custom class:

public class PersonChecker : BaseInputEditor

{

public override object Value

{

get

{

String all = "";

RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement editor = ((RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement)this.EditorElement);

foreach (GridViewRowInfo gvri in editor.Rows)

{

if (Convert.ToBoolean(gvri.Cells[0].Value) == true)

{

if (all != "")

all += "; ";

all += Convert.ToString(gvri.Cells[1].Value);

}

return all;

}

set

{

Console.WriteLine("to do");

}

protected override RadElement CreateEditorElement()

{

RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement editor = new RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement();

editor.EditorControl.AutoGenerateColumns = false;

editor.Columns.Clear();

GridViewCheckBoxColumn check = new GridViewCheckBoxColumn();

check.HeaderText = "";

check.Name = "Check";

check.MinWidth = 40;

check.MaxWidth = check.MinWidth;

check.ReadOnly = false;

editor.Columns.Add(check);

GridViewTextBoxColumn username = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();

username.HeaderText = "Username";

username.Name = "Username";

username.MinWidth = 200;

editor.Columns.Add(username);

editor.Rows.Clear();

editor.Rows.Add(new Object[] { false, "Person 1" });

editor.Rows.Add(new Object[] { false, "Person 2" });

editor.Rows.Add(new Object[] { false, "Person 3" });

//foreach (Person person in FormMain._persons)

//{

// editor.Rows.Add(

// new Object[] { false, person.SP_Username }

// );

//}

editor.EditorControl.ShowRowHeaderColumn = false;

editor.AutoSizeDropDownToBestFit = true;

editor.PopupClosing -= Editor_PopupClosing;

editor.PopupClosing += Editor_PopupClosing;

editor.EditorControl.CellClick -= EditorControl_CellClick;

editor.EditorControl.CellClick += EditorControl_CellClick;

return editor;

}

private void EditorControl_CellClick(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)

{

if (e.ColumnIndex == 0 && e.RowIndex > -1)

{

e.Row.Cells[0].Value = !Convert.ToBoolean(e.Row.Cells[0].Value);

}

private void Editor_PopupClosing(object sender, RadPopupClosingEventArgs args)

{

if (args.CloseReason == RadPopupCloseReason.Mouse)

{

args.Cancel = true;

}

public override void BeginEdit()

{

base.BeginEdit();

this.EditorElement.Focus();

}

public override bool EndEdit()

{

return base.EndEdit();

}

public override Type DataType

{

get { return typeof(string); }

}

So basically when user edit cell, another grid (custom editor) will show and user can check few person. After editing value in that cell will be set like Person 1; Person 2; Person 3.

This all work just fine but i have problem with text in that cell when user is in edit mode.
After entering edit mode cell text automatically change to "False".
When user check some rows cell text also change according to checked state "False" or "True".

How to avoid that text changing?
I want see my current string (depend what was checked) "Person 1; Person 2; Person 3" in grid cell also in edit mode so will be always updated information.
I another words, how to control text displayed in cell when user is in edit mode?

Move up/down in Outlook view?

Hi,

One of the things I find missing in the Outlook mode of the PageView control is the ability to move a page up or down (i.e., change their order). This is accomplished with an additional menu item called "Navigation Pane Options", and a checked list box with all available pages and up/down buttons.

It seems fairly obvious this functionality isn't included out of the box. Is there a straight-forward way to add it (i.e., add a menu item which could bring up my own dialog for accomplishing this)?

Related to this would be a way to serialize the PageView content and order to XML, but I can see how to do that myself fairly easily with an extension method.

ListView Checkboxes

Hi

I have a ListView in IconViewMode with enabled checkboxes. I need to enable and disable the checkboxes themselves based on some requirments.

I have managed to disable but keep them visible using the VisualItemFormatting method and turning the ToggleElement.Enabled to false

I am having a problem accessing the ToggleElement from anywhere else.
I need to access the checkbox itself the element from SelectedIndexChanged or CurrentItemChanged or any such methods.

Any help please ?

Thank you
