how do I add a border to selected RadLabels?
I am skinning the entire Winforms app with Desert
the following routine only seems to expand the size of the label
I am hoping to find kode to mimic BorderStyle=FixedSingle

I am replacing as many Microsoft controls with Telerik Winforms controls in order to prepare for a move to Windows 8
the app uses Microsoft Ink
the Telerik textbox doesn't seem to want to hook up with Ink
here's the kode
if txtSignature is a Microsoft textbox it works
if it is a RadTextBox it doesn't

I'm trying to get some standard Winforms code moved over to use the Telerik library. It's hard to figure out how to move over standard combobox code. In my standard combobox code, I could simply handle the "SelectedValueChanged" event. This event is only fired when the user actually selects a value (i.e. clicks or presses 'Enter'), even in auto-complete mode.

For the Telerik "RadDropDownList", the "SelectedValueChanged" event fires every time the user moves the cursor down a list of matching items. To me, this seems wrong. The selected value is not changed yet, not until the user presses 'Enter' or clicks the mouse on a particular item. Nevertheless, right or wrong, is there an optimal way to make a "RadDropDownList" work like a combobox? I really won't want to write hundreds of lines of code to handle every variation of key and mouse clicks to try and figure out what the user is doing.

More generally, is there any guide or cookbook that shows a person what is involved with changing each type of standard Windows control over to the corresponding Telerik control? This would be really useful. It took me an entire day to figure out that a Telerik "RadSplitButton" isn't really a true split button (i.e the same functionality as a button and a drop-down menu button), but is more simplistic, sort of a "menu item button". The best way to port code from Windows split buttons to Telerik without losing functionality is to use a separate RadButton and a separate RadDropDownButton. Some sort of guide book would be immensely helpful.

Thanks.

Hi,

My grid has been grouped and ShowTotals is true.  I need not display totals for all columns.  I need to display show totals only for specific fields.  Request you to let me know if i need to set any properties or write any events to get this feature.

Thanks in advance.

And also a question how to create header for the chart?

I'm trying to add radchartview to my form but manually(without using toolbox).
But when I run my application and when I press button to call my form with radchartview I've got messagebox with 
telerik.wincontrols.radelement.backgroundshape.

What's the problem? My code in initializecomponent

Due to some limitations and issues with the Winform version of RadSpellChecker I started investigating using the WPF version instead through an ElementHost. 
I discovered that I didn't need the ElementHost and that I could get the WPF RadSpellChecker to take my text and "pop up" by doing the following:

• Added Reference to "Telerik.Windows.Documents.Proofing"
• Added Using of "Telerik.Windows.Controls"
• Created WPF Textbox like so --> var txtControl = new System.Windows.Controls.TextBox();
• Assigned some test text to it --> txtControl.Text = "This isn't speelt rite.";
• Ran the static Check() method --> RadSpellChecker.Check(txtControl, SpellCheckingMode.AllAtOnce);

This almost works, I get the SpellCheck window with my text in it but there aren't any words in the dictionary.  Because of the way I'm doing it would I need to add the base English Dictionary back in?  Am I making some other rookie mistake?  Attached is an image of what I am seeing and below is the simple code snippet in it's entirety.

P.S. I didn't know if this belonged in the Winform or WPF forum, sorry.

I'm currently evaluating the RadListView in detail view and am getting a nullreference at runtime if I set the width of a column to anything other than the default 200 width. For instance if I go into the designer code and comment the offending line: "listViewDetailColumn1.Width = 100F;" then it works fine with no runtime errors. With that line in the code I get the nullreference error. This is using VS2010 and .Net 4.0.

Hello, 

In fact, I use the SplitContainer to have a nice layout on my form and I block the Minimum & Maximum size of a lot of SplitPanel.
So I don't need to display the So I don't need to display the Splitter.

On this link : http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/splitcontainer-overview.html We can see the splitter in bleu. How can I set it to invisible? Or to the same color than the background? 

Thank you

Is there a way to have the appointment items on the calendar have their own context menu? We want to allow the users to right-click to delete, copy, etc. the appointment.

Hello,

I´m using the SelectedObject property of the RadPropertyGrid control. The object that is being passing to, is a simple class with several basic data types properties. Getters of these properties are communicating with an instrument through tcp/ip in order to read its real values.

I have observed that every user action on the control (like a resizing RadPropertyGrid control itself or scrolling its vertical bar or even resizing the help section at the botton of the control) causes that getters of this underlaying class are called again and again.

How could I address this behavior?

Many thanks in advance for your help.
