Rad Ribbon Bar text on tabs are not Visible when the tab is clicked

In Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 when I click on a tab in the Rad Ribbon Bar the tab just shows a blank space with no text. If I click on another tab, its text is not visible, but the text on the previous tab is once again visible. In other words, the tab text is not visible anymore when clicking on a tab.

Hi Telerik Support,

I would like to be able to have an application-menu button beside the tabs in the Dock TabStrip, just like the application-menu button in the ribbon-bar control. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Accelerator/Shortcut Keys Issue

Hello, I just ran into this issue and it took me forever to figure it out. I figured I would post it here in the hopes of saving someone a headache.

I have created a custom control that contains a RadRichTextBox and a RadCommandBar

I dropped the custom control onto a new windows form along with several standard textboxes and labels

I added accelerator characters to the labels of the text boxes "&Company", "&Employee".

When I ran the form and began typing into the RadRichTextBox whenever I typed "c" or "e" (without pushing "Alt") the focus would move to the text boxes with the matching accelerator key.

To get around this I needed to add the following override in the custom control.

protected override bool ProcessDialogChar(char charCode)
{
if ((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Alt) == Keys.None) return false;
return base.ProcessDialogChar(charCode);
}

Hope that helps!

Updating GridViewCheckBoxColumn value on another column's change

Hello

I have a GridViewCheckBoxColumn column added to a GridView that serves as a visual flag about the row's update status. I want to validate and update that checkbox' ToggleState while I am in the CellEndEdit of another column (that have a Spinner editor).

This gives me a Null value on the left side. (as well as many variants thereof)

if ((ToggleState)e.Row.Cells["RegleActive"].Value == ToggleState.On)

Thanks

What the best way to use a custom theme?

Hi, I'm trying to build a custom theme to use over all my application.
I stardet from an existing theme, as suggested, and I've build my custom them as a tssp file.

I added the tssp to my project and I setted it as application theme:

ThemeResolutionService.LoadPackageResource("MyProject.MyCustomTheme.tssp")

ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "MyCustomTheme"

When I build and I run the application, all the forms and controls appears with my custom theme, and this is very good.
But at design time, using the visual studio form editor I don't see my theme.
How can I see my theme even in design time?

Do I have to load the same theme using a RadThemeManager (from the xml equivalent files) and set the ThemeName property for all controls?
If yes, which is the utility of using the ApplicationThemeName property?

Thank you.

Add Custom Items in RadRibbonBarGroup "Add an Item" list

I have made my custom ribbon bar like this:

public class TMRibbonBar:RadRibbonBar

{

}

in similar fashion, I have made my custom buttons ie.RadButtonElement, RadCheckBoxElement.
What I want is how can I add a button of my own in the "Add an Item" option of "Right Click - Context Menu" of "RadRibbonBarGroup". I mean, my custom button should appear in the list to be selected.

I can add my custom button in the RadRibbonBarGroup dynamically, but how can I do it through the UI?
I hope am not raising a totally invalid requirement.
