Auto suggestion box in Grid

Hello,

We currently have a field of our class that is the list of possible Texture that we can assign to a Sprite. It is a collection received by our Converter

class TextureConverter : ResourceConverter

{

public override StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

{

Type[] tType = new Type[] { typeof(Texture), typeof(TextureAtlas) };

string[] tResource = ProjectManager.Singleton.CurrentProject.GetResourceNameListForType(tType, false);

return new StandardValuesCollection(tResource);

}

And our class member goes like this:

[Category("Settings Sprite")]

[DisplayName("Texture")]

[Description("Current Texture")]

[TypeConverter(typeof(TextureConverter))]

public virtual string Texture

{

get

{

return mTextureCBValues;

}

set

{

if (mTextureCBValues != value)

{

if (value == "")

{

ResetTexture();

}

else

{

Item tTex = ProjectManager.Singleton.CurrentProject.GetResourceByName(value, true, Name);

if (tTex is Texture)

{

mTextureCBValues = value;

SetTexture(tTex as Texture);

}

else if (tTex is TextureAtlas)

{

mTextureCBValues = value;

SetTextureAtlas(tTex as TextureAtlas);

}

else

{

SetStatus(Item.StatusState.ERROR, "Texture " + value + " is not found or invalid");

ResetTexture();

}

Refresh();

NotifyPropertyChanged();

}

How is it possible to make that field so we can "search" (auto-suggestion) for the texture name we want?

Retrieve bound entity [row] from gridview using entity framework

Wondering if there is a simple way to do this...

I add an object to my entity context but I have not saved changes yet. Therefore there is no ID or key associated to the entity.
I do however bind the grids datasource to the entities context. The data appears in the grid in the appropriate file.

However, if I want to modify or delete a row whereas the entity hasn't been saved, I can't execute a LINQ query or something to get the record; again because it hasn't been saved yet.

Is there a way to get and assign the entity based upon the row selected?

dim detail as Invoice_Detail = gridview.selectedrow(0).... Or something to that extent.

Thanks
Bob

Align 2 charts vertically?

I have 2 lineseries charts, one under another. The horizonal axes labels come from the same data set, however the vertical axes for both vary.

Since the labels for the vertical axes are different, the 0 points for each chart are not aligned. I haven't been able to figure out how to get these to line up. What am I missing?

I am trying to accomplish something like that is in the demo for ChartView -> Chart Types -> Stock Series \ Indicators except that I want the vertical axes on the right hand side.

Attached is a screen shot of the 2 graph unaligned.

SortDescriptors.Expression column names not 'escaped' properly

When I retrieve a SortDescriptors.Expression from my RadGridView the column names are not escaped when they have a space in the name. The FilterDescriptors.Expression does this correctly (IMO) or at least returns what I expect.

For example, I have a RadGridView bound to a DataTable with the following columns: ID, Unit ID, Name
I have the grid sorted by the column 'Unit ID' and also filtered to include only records where 'Unit ID'=1 at run-time.
I then run the following commands:

string sort = this.myRadGridView.SortDescriptors.Expression;

Console.WriteLine(sort);

string filter = this.myRadGridView.FilterDescriptors.Expression;

Console.WriteLine(filter);

I get the following output:

Unit ID ASC

([Unit ID] = 1)

With the FilterDescriptors.Expression value I can insert that string directly back into a SQL query with no issues. With the SortDescriptors.Expression I have to run an addional routine on the result before I can use it in a query.

I have a workaround I am using right now (simple string replace) but the inconsistant results were something I thought I should bring up here. Maybe the SortDescriptors could be changed to work more like the FilterDescriptors in the future? Anyway, this post is mainly an 'FYI' but if anyone has any comments or tips, they would be appreciated.

RowIndex when calling AddNew

Hi,

When I click the "Click here to add a new row" text on a grid, the new row is overlaid on the text and I insert values in place. The RowIndex of the new row is -1, and this allows me to differentiate between an insert and an edit,

If I call Rows.AddNew though it looks like the row is inserted and then edited, which means it is assigned a RowIndex and I can't now check whether this is an insert or update.

In the BeginEdit event, I check the RowIndex to determine whether we are inserting or editing as some of the columns are Insert Only as :

Dim rowindex As Integer = e.RowIndex
If rowindex > -1 Then
If CustomCheckForInsertOnly Then
e.Cancel = True
Exit Sub
End If
End If

This works fine for a click initiated insert, but doesn't for a programmatic insert as the RowIndex is now assigned.

Is there a way to simulate the "Click here to add a new row" behaviour when calling Rows.AddNew, or alternatively another way to differentiate between an insert and an update in BeginEdit?

Thanks,

Mark.

Context Tab Group Length truncates text

I've set up a Context Tab Group which contains at least 1 tab. The Name of the tab is shorter than the name of the Context Tab Group name. This results in the Context Tab Group not fully displaying the name. It appears that the width of the Context Tab Group takes on the width of all the children tabs associated to it. How can I lengthen the width of the Context Tab Group to fully display the text regardless of cumulative width of the children tabs? I've done some trial and error with the AutoSize, AutoSizeMode, and FitToSizeMode to no avail.

Regards,

RibbonBar
