Since I was not able to get the grouping to work as I needed, I thought I would try the hierarchy feature instead. However, my data is in List<business object> lists and *not* datasets. I can get the parent data to appear, but no child data. Does this feature work with business objects? Or only with datasets?
Thanks!

Gantt like chart?

Does the new ChartView support a Gantt like chart as did the old RadChart?
I need a bar chart where each bar has a different start and end value.

RadGridView KeyDown Event doesn't respond when holding Ctrl

I have a piece of code that refreshes the grid when the user hits ctrl+r, but this has stopped working between 2011 Q3 SP1 and 2012 Q1 SP1. The event fires when I press R or other keys alone, but holding ctrl while pressing does not work. The shortcuts for cut, paste, copy work with the ctrl button held.

Theme Backgrounds

Hi,

I'm using the default Office2010Blue theme and some backgrounds are coming up in the nice blue colour.

But... the background on my RadSplitPanels are displaying in the old windows grey. I have tried setting all the backgrounds to transparent but with no luck.

Do I need to set the panel backgrounds to a common setting or do I manually need to set the colour for each?

RadComboBox don't shows selected item

Update: Ignore this post or close it. The problem was not the RadComboBox itself.

Best regards

Martin

Hi,

I've a RadComboBox inside a UserControl with the DropDropStyle=DropDownList. I added three elements and after that I selected the third one:

radComboBoxItems.Add(new RadComboBoxItem("1", 1));
radComboBox.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem("2", 2));
radComboBox.Items.Add(new RadComboBoxItem("3", 3));
radComboBoxSelectedValue = 3;

I also tried:

radComboBoxSelectedIndex = 2;

In both ways the the SelectedIndex is correct and when the ListBox appears the correct item is selected. But the ComboBox itself doesn't display the selected item. The funny thing is, that the same code works fine on a Windows Form. So, what's the problem there.

Regards

Martin

Radmenu as mdi child forms do not maximize when loaded

Hello,
i'm having a crazy time trying to get my child forms to be maximized.

i have: windows form as mdi parent - windowstate set to maximum.
on it is a radmenu.
i have a child windows form in which the windowstate is set to maximize.

i do the below code to load the child:

        

frmCPBase.MdiParent = Me
frmCPBase.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized 
gsResize(frmCPBase, frmCPBase.pnlMain) 
frmCPBase.Show() 
  
    Public Sub gsResize(ByVal aoForm As Form, ByVal aoPnl As Panel) 
        Try
            '* Center the MDI Child 
            If aoForm.WindowState = 2 Then      'maximized 
                Dim yInt As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Height / 2 - aoForm.Height / 2 
  
  
                aoForm.Location = New Point(Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width / 2 - aoForm.Width / 2, 120)  
                If aoForm.Location.X < 0 Then
                    aoForm.Location = New Point(0, aoForm.Location.Y) 
                End If
                If aoForm.Location.Y < 0 Then
                    aoForm.Location = New Point(aoForm.Location.X, 0) 
                End If
                If aoForm.Left < 0 Then
                    aoForm.Location = New Point(0, aoForm.Location.Y) 
                End If
            End If
  
            '* Center the frame 
            If aoForm.WindowState = 2 Then
                aoPnl.Location = New Point((aoForm.Width / 2) - (aoPnl.Width / 2), (aoForm.Height / 2) - (aoPnl.Height / 2)) 
            Else
                aoPnl.Location = New Point((aoForm.Width / 2) - (aoPnl.Width / 2), (aoForm.Height / 2) - (aoPnl.Height / 2)) 
            End If
  
        Catch ex As Exception 
  
        End Try
  
    End Sub

but when i run, the child is NOT maximized. when i maximize the mdi form (running by clicking the control max button on the mdi form), THEN the child form is maximized.

i did this with another menu - exactly the same only NOT using the radmenu and it works fine. is there something in the radmenu you need to set for this??

thanks for ANY help - i'm about to get rid of the telerik radmenu...if i cannot resolve. i have it set up as the "main menu=true"

i have the radmenu set up as:

Group without a sort?

We have a set of report types with a defined display order. For example, we want the Customer Reports, then the Financial Reports, then the Accounting Reports. Is there a way to group without sorting on the grouped column? I tried passing a null in for the sort order, but that just sorted ascending.
Thanks!

DataSet, GridView DataBinding to Parent Information

Hi,

I have setup a dataSet with 3 tables Locations,Customers and Orders. I have setup 3 relations "Locations to Customers" , "Locations to Orders" and "Customers to Orders"

I have a form that has two GridViews one to show All the Customers and one to show the Selected Customers Orders.

I have done this by:

MainForm.DataSource = FormData;

MainForm.DataMember = "Customers";

SubForm.DataSource = FormData;

SubForm.DataMember = "Customers.Customers_Orders";

Is there anyway I can bind a column to the Locations Description from the Locations table via the "Locations to Customers"/"Locations to Orders" in the relative grids?
