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.

[Solved] 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.

[Solved] RadContextMenu cannot be converted to RadDropDownMenu

Win 7 - 64bit,
Telerik WinForms Controls 2012.2.912.40
Using VB.net

Hello:

I placed a RadContextMenu on a Form
I then attempted to associate the RCM to a RadGridView in the ContextMenuOpening Event...

Private Sub RGV_ContextMenuOpening(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs)

e.ContextMenu =

Me.RadContextMenuForGrids

End

Sub

Why is the compiler seeing the 2 objects as being different. Here is the error?

RadContextMenu cannot be converted to RadDropDownMenu?

Thanks,
Mark

Pragmatically Call the SelectedIndex Change event for Dropdownlist

Hi I need to call the SelectedIndex event after loading the form.
The reason for this is that the dropdownlist determines if other controls are displayed on the form

here is a example of the idea

Partial Class Example

Public Function LoadData() As Boolean

Me.DropDownList1.DataSource = Types.ConfirmationType

If Not CustomerName Is Nothing Then

' Where the DropDownlist ID is DropDownList1

Me.DropDownList1.SelectedText = "Driver"

' Calls the method directly passing the appropriate sender

Me.DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(Me.DropDownList1, Nothing)

End If

End Function

Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs) Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged

Dim options As String = Me.DropDownList1.SelectedText

Select Case options

Case "Driver"

'Display the Driver mobile fields

Me.lblDriverMobile.Visible = True

Me.txtDriverMobile.Visible = True

Me.ddlDriverMobileCode.Visible = True

Me.pbDriverMobile.Visible = True

Case Else

'Hide the Driver mobile fields

Me.lblDriverMobile.Visible = False

Me.txtDriverMobile.Visible = False

Me.ddlDriverMobileCode.Visible = False

Me.pbDriverMobile.Visible = False

End Select

End Sub

End Class

The issue is that the call does not happen and the line

Me.DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(Me.DropDownList1, Nothing)

Does not seem to work ?
What I get in the options value is a empty string ?

Any ideas

Adding bound objects in child view in Hierarchy GridView

I have the following RowSourceNeeded handler :

void gvEmployes_RowSourceNeeded(object sender, GridViewRowSourceNeededEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Template == gvtEmployeLogiciels)

{

using ( var repo = new EmployesRepository())

{

foreach (LogicielDTO l in repo.GetLogicielsOfEmploye((EmployeDTO)e.ParentRow.DataBoundItem))

{

GridViewRowInfo gridRow = e.Template.Rows.NewRow();

gridRow.Cells["nom"].Value = l.nom;

gridRow.Cells["nbLicense"].Value = l.nbLicense;

e.SourceCollection.Add(gridRow);

}

However, I want the objects to be bound instead of just filling in cells so that something like this would work :

void gvEmployes_UserDeletingRow(object sender, GridViewRowCancelEventArgs e)

{

foreach (var row in e.Rows)

{

switch

(row.DataBoundItem.GetType().Name) // This will error if you are deleting a LogicielDTO row.

{

case "EmployeDTO":

MessageBox.Show("Deleteing " + ((EmployeDTO)row.DataBoundItem).nom);

break;

case "LogicielDTO":

MessageBox.Show("Deleteing " + ((LogicielDTO)row.DataBoundItem).nom);

break;

}

How can I acheive this?

items in tabular fashion in RadRibbonbarButtons

Hi,

I want to add 8 radio buttons , in tabular fashion in radribbon bar(Please check in attached image).
I have added a RadRibbonbarGroup=>2 horizontal RadRibbonbarButtons(with vertical orientation).

As these buttons are placed in two separate ribbonBarbuttons,therefore I can select two radio buttons simultaneously , one from each ribbonbarButton.

Please let me know how to keep the group of radiobuttons same, although are placed in different radribbonbarButton group.

Thanks in Advance!

Design Time Text Not Displaying

I feel like this is something obvious that I am overlooking. I want to insert a bulleted list into a richtextbox at design time. I use the MarkupEditor to get the list in and it displays the text with the proper formatting in the Text property but nothing shows up in the richtextbox itself. The help document states that design time text can be inserted and made read only. What am I missing here?

GridViewComboBoxColumn - showing an initial value

The documentation states:

> If you want to set initial values, you should match the GridViewComboBoxColumn to a column which has appropriate values in it. To do this, you should set the FieldName of the GridViewComboBoxColumn to be the same as the name of the existing column.

Can I see a code sample of how this is done?

I have a text column that I am able to successfully bind to show the values, but I'm not able to replace that text column with a ComboBoxColumn and still have it set the initial values like the text column does. Here's a code sample of what I've tried:

uxgrdBindingsGrid.MasterTemplate.Columns.Clear();

uxgrdBindingsGrid.AutoGenerateColumns = false;

uxgrdBindingsGrid.DataSource = bindings.ToList<SymbolBinding>();

// this textbox column displays fine

GridViewTextBoxColumn dataSourceTextColumn = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();

dataSourceTextColumn.Name = "dataSourceTextColumn";

dataSourceTextColumn.HeaderText = "Data Source";

dataSourceTextColumn.FieldName = "DataSourceProperty";

dataSourceTextColumn.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;

dataSourceTextColumn.Width = 150;

dataSourceTextColumn.IsVisible = true;

uxgrdBindingsGrid.MasterTemplate.Columns.Add(dataSourceTextColumn);
