ThreadException after drag and drop

Hi,

I have a treeview that shows account numbers in a hierarchy of account groups.
MultiSelect is on for the treeview.
Sometimes (not always), when I drop multiple items on an account group node a thread exception occurs.
I recently upgraded the RadControls from 'Q3 2011 SP1' to 'Q2 2012'. In the older version this problem did not exist. I did not change code, only the Telerik dll changed.

Some more details:

Message = Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Multiple Y axis help

Hello,

I need some help with creating 2 y axes. I have looked at the below thread but its not what I'm trying to do
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/chart/multiple-y-axis.aspx

I don't need to show a different series on the 2nd y axis. I need 1 row (the Total row) for both series to be shown on the 2nd y axis.

Please take a look at the attached screenshot. SInce the OVERALL item is a sum of the ones above it, it hogs up all the space and the rest of the items appear squished. Thats why I want to show the OVERALL item against it's own y axis and the rest against another y axis. The only other (non elegant) solution I can think of is having 2 Radcharts, but I'm trying to see if that can be avoided.

Sorting in ListView

I want to sort my ListView on Clicking a column
in similarity to what we do with General ListView in .Net

private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ColumnClickEventArgs e)
{
}
Imagine the column Header is "Count" and the "Name" is "Column_0"
In it's default behavior of the ListView 
it is sorted with this logic (as strings):

79 < 8 < 89 < 9 , ....

The Designer's Code :
Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewDetailColumn listViewDetailColumn2 = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewDetailColumn("Column 1", "Count");
Telerik.WinControls.Data.SortDescriptor sortDescriptor1 = new Telerik.WinControls.Data.SortDescriptor();
I have written a comparer like this for the Default .Net Windows Forms Controls ListView :

public class CountSort: IComparer
{
    public int Compare(object x, object y)
    {
        Product w1 = (Product)x;            
 
        Product w2 = (Product)y;
 
        if (w1.Count> w2.Count)
            return 1;
        if (w1.Count< w2.Count)
            return -1;
        else
            return 0;
    }
}
But now don't know how to link all the items and figure this out.
needed help, thanks

Installation woes

Hi,

Several questions:
I downloaded the full suite trial installer (web installer). Did the install and it errored. I can't add Telerik components to my projects, you get an error.

1) So I want to uninstall, but I can't find a unified uninstaller, just the half dozen separate installers in Programs. Is there a way to uninstall them alll in one go?

2) Where is the offline installer? If I have to use the web installler again I'm going to be here hours first uninstalling, then reinstalling via web installer. If it still doesn't work, well I imagine that would be annoying.

I've seen several threads here about offline installers, but they are all pointing at the licensed users only area.

Thanks

Replace a specific text with Table in RadRichTextBox

Am trying to search a specific Text in the Document, and replace it with Table.
this is what am doing:
private void Replace()
{
this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.Clear();
DocumentTextSearch ser = new DocumentTextSearch(this.radRichTextBox1.Document);
IList<DocumentPosition> startPositions = new List<DocumentPosition>();
IList<DocumentPosition> endPositions = new List<DocumentPosition>();

foreach (var textRange in ser.FindAll("<Threat"))
startPositions.Add(textRange.StartPosition);
    foreach (var textRange in ser.FindAll(KEYEND))
   endPositions.Add(textRange.EndPosition);
string xml = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < startPositions.Count; i++)
{
this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.Clear();
this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.AddSelectionStart(startPositions[i]);
this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.AddSelectionEnd(endPositions[i]);

xml = this.radRichTextBox1.Document.Selection.GetSelectedText();
Table tbl = GenerateTable(xml);
this.radRichTextBox1.InsertTable(tbl);
  }

but it doesn't work. when i try to replace the selection with any string, it works fine. what's wrong??? please help
