Hello,

I'm confused as to why I can't seem to find the Name property of a GridViewTemplate. I get "Name is not a member of Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewTemplate." Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Public Sub SaveGridLayout(ByRef grd As RadGridView, Optional ByRef gvt As GridViewTemplate = Nothing)

If gvt Is Nothing Then

gvt = grd.MasterTemplate

End If

Dim Layout As String = grd.Name & "_" & gvt.Name

Large String Render Issues

Why does RadTextBox stop rendering text after 5,509 characters? Upon entering a 5,510th character the text disappears, and if you press backspace it comes back. Is this a known limitation? If so, where is it documented?

Edit: Actually it appears to be based on width, not number of characters. It happens at 4,679->4,680 lowercase letter 'o's with Segoe UI, 8.25pt font.

Rebuild demos projects after release

Please can the Demo projects be rebuild using the latest Rad Controls.

It is very bad form to release an update and then expect the developers to work though all the changes to the code in the demo project to try and figure out how the original worked and how the new changes work.

As opening some of these projects in Visual studio displays all kinds of bugs.

Changing the Alt-Tab Behaviour

I would like to change the behavior of the Alt-Tab for docked tabbed documents.

Basically I want it to ignore all the non - DocumentPane windows.

I would also like it to cycle through the windows like visual studo does - but this would be a nice to have.

I have seen the article which shows how to replace it altogether, but most of the functionality is fine, so I wondered if there was a way to tweak it?

Application visual not refreshing.

Hi guys, we developed an application and we are having some issues with the visual update. It's a windows form application and we integrated some WinForm telerik and recently some wpf. I'm pretty sure the problem is not coming from telerik but maybe you guys can give us a cue where to look at. So what we see is that half the time we stop moving the mouse over the application any visual will stop updating... any tooltip will stop fading in or out... any menu will stop fading in or out ... any animation in wpf will stop updating... anything stops... one fugly fix we found is to put a timer on the application and set the position of the mouse at it's current position... The process is still working though... Any input will be much appreciated!! Thanks a lot.

Thanks,

Form not loading properly into Dock

I have an issue with loading forms in the Dock

When I use MDI they load poroperly. On being told to drop the MDI overhead the forms load off to the bottm right of the screen
Please help what is wrong with the code.

MDI loader

Shared Sub dockMDIForm(ByVal mydockableform As Form)

'Check if form already in Dock

Dim hw As HostWindow = frmMain.radDockMain.GetHostWindow(mydockableform)

If Not hw Is Nothing Then

'Just show the window

frmMain.radDockMain.ActiveWindow = hw

Else

'Create a new instance of the Form & add to dock

mydockableform.MdiParent = frmMain

mydockableform.Show()

'frmMain.radDockMain.DockControl(mydockableform, DockPosition.Fill, DockType.Document)

hw = frmMain.radDockMain.GetHostWindow(mydockableform)

frmMain.radDockMain.ActiveWindow = hw

End If

End Sub

Document loader

Shared Sub dockForm(ByVal myForm As Form)

myForm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None

myForm.TopLevel = False

myForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

'Check if form already in Dock

Dim hw As HostWindow = frmMain.radDockMain.GetHostWindow(myForm)

If Not hw Is Nothing Then

'Just show the window

frmMain.radDockMain.ActiveWindow = hw

Else

'Create a new document

Dim docWindow As DocumentWindow = New DocumentWindow()

docWindow.Controls.Add(myForm)

'add to Dock

With frmMain.radDockMain

.AddDocument(docWindow, DockPosition.Fill)

.ActiveWindow = docWindow

End With

docWindow.DockTabStrip.PerformLayout()

End If

End Sub

RadDock, Programmatically set DockPosition

I've been playing around with RadDock and not been able to get my head around this control...

Here is my scenario( bit simplyfied):

I've got a RadDock, which I add usercontrols to:

UserControlPlugInDemo ucpid = new UserControlPlugInDemo();
DockPosition dockTo = DockPosition.Fill;
this.radDock1.DockControl(ucpid, dockTo, DockType.Document);

Then, when a user click on a button in one of these, to open a map, I add a new tab containing map with DockPosition.Right.
This works fine.

But next time I add a usercontrol, I want it to Fill(like merging Map with the others tabs), but it adds to the active DockWindow, either o the right or left.

Any tip would be apreciated!

Dock
