I use RadRichTextBox (WPF) to edit HTML documents.

These contain images with annotations.

It works as expected (except for the context menu popping up when I mark an image) and I can position the images according to my needs.

See Before.png where the red arrow points to something in the image.

When I save the HTML and load it into the RadRichTextBox again the image positioning is totally gone. See After.png

Am I missing something or does the HtmlDataProvider simply not work as expected?

Bug: NullReferenceException raised by IGridViewEditor.SetText in DateTimePickerGridViewEditor when typing a key into a GridViewDataColumn that contains a collapsed RadDateTimePicker

Is this the best place to report bugs?

This is with 2024.4.1213.462.

To duplicate the issue:

With VS 2022, create a WPF (.NET Framework) application,
Delete MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs
Unzip the attached file, place MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs from the zip where the old files were or use the pasted text below
Build and run the application
Put focus on a cell in a row in the grid and type a letter

Expect the following exception to be raised

	Name	Value	Type
◢	$exception	{"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."}	System.NullReferenceException

at Telerik.Windows.Controls.DateTimePickerGridViewEditor.Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.IGridViewEditor.SetText(String text) in Telerik.Windows.Controls\DateTimePickerGridViewEditor.cs:line 56

In case the zip doesn't work:

MainWindow.xaml.cs:

namespace WpfApp14
{
    using System;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Windows;
    using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

    public sealed class GridValueViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private string someValue = string.Empty;

        public GridValueViewModel(string someValue)
        {
            this.SomeValue = someValue;
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        public string SomeValue
        {
            get
            {

                }
            }
        }

        public DateTime? DateValue
        {
            get
            {

                {
                    return value;
                }

                return null;
            }

                    this.SomeValue = string.Empty;
                    return;
                }

                this.SomeValue = value.ToString();
            }
        }

        public ObservableCollection<string> SomeValueItems { get; } = new ObservableCollection<string>(
            new[]
            {

                "dog",
                "bird"
            });
        
    }

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            this.DataContext = this;
        }

        public ObservableCollection<GridValueViewModel> Values { get; } = new ObservableCollection<GridValueViewModel>(
            new[]
            {
                new GridValueViewModel("cat"),
                new GridValueViewModel("dog"),
                new GridValueViewModel("bird")
            });
    }
}

Add a custom palette with its own name in a Telerik RadColorPicker

Hello, I want to add a custom palette with its own names and colors in WPF. But seems like I can only work with built-in MainPalette, HeaderPalette, AdditionalContent

The image below shows my intention. I want to add not only 2 of them, but as many as I want.

EditMask With DateTimePicker

Is there a way to use RadMaskedDateTimeInput with RadDateTimePicker? Users want to be able dates in MM/dd/yyyy format (without typing the slashes) or use the calendar picker. I believe RadDateTimePicker uses RadWatermarkTextBox which does not have tight input control.

Setting a font size for the entire application

I am using the Material Theme, here's my app.xaml code

<Application x:Class="Desktop_Application.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Application.Resources>
        
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <!-- Global default font size -->
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
                <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="8"/>
            </Style>
            
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/System.Windows.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Chart.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.FixedDocumentViewers.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.ImageEditor.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Material;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml"/>
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

However, the application does not reflect the new font size, is there a way to do it?

Change colors of RadVirtualKeyboardWindow's close button

Hello,

I need to change the color of the RadVirtualKeyboardWindow's close button. At the moment it is not viewable very good. I use Material style around in my application, but it seems that it does not completly fit my needs.

I tried to change the button's beahviour like this:

<Style TargetType="telerik:RadVirtualKeyboardWindow">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:RadVirtualKeyboardWindow">
                <Grid>
                    <!-- Fensterinhalt -->
                    <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                        <ContentPresenter />
                    </Border>

                    <!-- Schließen-Button -->
                    <Button x:Name="PART_CloseButton"
                            Width="24" Height="24"
                            HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                            VerticalAlignment="Top"
                            Margin="5"
                            Background="DarkRed"
                            Foreground="White"
                            BorderBrush="Transparent"
                            Content="✕"
                            FontWeight="Bold"
                            Cursor="Hand"/>
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

But that actually lead to a very long button and could not change that either:

What can I try next?

Thanks and best regards,

Ferdinand

Radial Gauge/Radial Scale - Labels won't dynamically size when Gauge is placed in ViewBox

I have placed a RadialGauge with RadialScale inside a ViewBox. To get the RadialGauge to display correctly, I have bound the height and width of the RadialGauge to the actual height and width of the the Grid that holds the RadialGauge. The RadialGauge sizes correctly to the ViewBox although the labels actually get smaller as the Viewbox stretches to fill the window it is in. How do I get the Indicator label size to change when the size of the ViewBox is changed?

New Licensing File: What if I build from a service account?

We use a Telerik via NuGet packages. All of our developers have followed Telerik's instructions to build by putting our license files in our personal folders here.

%appdata%/telerik

This all works just fine.

However our nightly build is performed by a service account. Where do I put the telerik-license.txt file for that? I do not want to add it to the project.

Is there some global folder -- available to ALL users -- that the Telerik build process can copy it from? Something not local to the current user like %appdata%?
