I am working in winforms telerik controls. I have created custom shape for radbutton in my form but, whenever am running the application, the custom shape is not coming. Only default shape is coming. how to work out this.

Note: I edited the button shape in smart tag -> edit UI elements ->radButton elements -> shape property ->new custom shape.

Some questions about radgridview

Hi

I just discovered it's not possible to do what I originally wanted, so Im just going to tell what exactly I want to accomplish

1. Fill the content of a radgridview to the edges so I don't have empty space between the tablecontent and the tableborders, here's an ugly ascii representation
______________________________
|[column][column](space space space)|
|[cell......][cell......](space space space)|
|[cell......][cell......](space space space)|
|[cell......][cell......](space space space)|
|(space space space space space sp)|
|(space space space space space sp)|
|(space space space space space sp)|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
instead I want the columns to stretch and empty rows be displayed instead of a white background, kinda like this
______________________________
|[column got stretched][column stretch]|
|[Cell stretched with it..][this cell too.....]|
|[Cell stretched with it..][this cell too.....]|
|[Cell with no data, it ju][st looks like....]| (...there's a row but all the cells have a white background)
|[Cell with no data, it ju][st looks like....]|
|[Cell with no data, it ju][st looks like....]|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

2. I have a list of custom data objects (List<someObject>) basically I want it to automatically figure out that some properties goes to specific cells and others aren't shown, so if I have.

public class SomeObject

{

public string showthisString;

public DateTime showThisDate;

public int showThisInt;

public string dontshowthisstring;

public decimal showThisDec;

public int dontshowthisint;

}

and I create some columns I want to map showthisString to the column "MyAwesomeColumn" and showThisInt to "AwesomePoints". I am expecting code like this

public void InSomeMethod()

{

DataTextColumn AwesomeCol = new DataTextColumn("UniquelyAwesome","who's awesome?") //uniquename, headerText

AwesomeCol.readOnly=true; //if I wanted it readonly that is, just to display some sort of functionality change

RadGridView grid; //for code block highlighting

grid.Columns.Add(AwesomeCol)

grid.Link.Link("showThisString","UniquelyAwesome");

//when databinding it will find the showthisString property and map it to the column that has a uniquename of UniquelyAwesome

}

Question about MasterGridViewTemplate and MasterTemplate

Hi,

the MasterGridViewTemplate is marked as obsolete so I tried to use the
MasterTemplate property inside the designer. But this is not possible because
the new MasterTemplate property is also marked as not browsable. Why is it not
allowed to this property inside the designer any more.

Regards
Martin

Gridview template tutorial

Hello

I have a class that holds two other classes Like this

public Class A

{

Some properties From A

some methods From A

}

public Class B

{

some properties from B

Some methods from A

}

public Class C

{

public Aclass a;

public Bclass b;

}

However I need to list a collection of Class c in a list where some columns shouldn't show, some should be readable only, some should have another Columnheader name than class property name. I figure I need to make a template class where I extend a gridview template class, however I am unable to find a tutorial on how to make such a template class

Any Information on this is appreciated.

----
Expected result
I am not exactly looking to change backgroundcolor or play music, but these are some of the things that are possible with a template

public Class Gridview

{

private void someMethod()

{

   gridview.Template=new Templ;

}

private

class templ : Template

{

put this information from these classes into those columns

make some columns do this

make each four row have a button that play a song

make the background appear as something specific depending on teh information it has

}

}

TimePicker in a datetime column

Hi All!

I have a grid, with some DateTime column, but I would like to change the original DateTime picker to Time picker, because in some cases the date part is disinterested, and the user wants to set specific time moments in a user friendly way.

It is possible to do this?

Best regards,
Peter

theming buttons in a user control

I am trying to set an entire WinForms app with Desert theme
I have a group of buttons in a user control which is used in two different forms
both forms are RadForms and both are set to Desert as part of the constructor

Public Sub New()

' This call is required by the designer.

InitializeComponent()

Dim myTheme As New DesertTheme()

ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Desert"

End Sub

one form has ochre buttons with that gradient I like - and the other form has that ugly grey which is Microsoft control
why is this?

I figured out why - after leaving a dent in my desk after trying EVERYTHING I could think of
the user control starts out not Enabled - when it is Enabled it gets the nice gradient

Buttons, RadioButton, CheckBox, etc
