RadRibbonView - Setting IsMinimized in Style causing InvalidOperationException

GOAL: Have the Ribbon start minimized or settable from my VM using state.

The RadRibbonView is bound to a RadRichTextBox. I pretty much used the sample app for the template.

I set the IsMinimized in the template and it crashed.

Then I tried a style.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type telerik:RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI}}">
        <Setter Property="IsMinimized" Value="true"/>
    </Style>

Failed.

Here is the crash.

Cannot nind Visibility property of a Gauge Range

Hello,

So here's my problem.
I'm building an extended control based of a SemiCircleGauge. That gauge includes 3 ranges that are always visible, but with min and max value set at runtime.
There is also a fourth range that may or may not be visible, property also set at runtime.
I can bind every other value the way I want to, but not the visibility property. For some reason, it always shows regardless of the value I sent it.

Here's all related code :

XAML of the custom control

<telerik:SemicircleNorthScale x:Name="RudderGaugeScale"

SweepAngle="140"

StartAngle="200"

ShowFirstLabel="False"

ShowLastLabel="False"

LabelRotationMode="None"

MiddleTicks="1"

MajorTickStep="5"

EndWidth="0.2"

StartWidth="0.2"

FontSize="9.333"

FontWeight="Bold"

Foreground="White"

LabelLocation="OverOutside"

MajorTickLocation="CenterInside"

MiddleTickStroke="#00000000"

MinorTickBackground="#00000000"

MajorTickStroke="White"

MiddleTickBackground="#00000000"

MajorTickBackground="White"

MajorTickUseRangeColor="True"

MinorTickStroke="#01FFFFFF"

MajorTickStrokeThickness="1" >

GridViewDataColumn generation very slow when using aggregate functions

Dear Telerik-Team,

creating many GridViewDataColumn (about 500) in code behind and
adding them to a RadGridView (using RadGridView.Columns.Add() ) is working in a reasonable amount of time (<1 ms for each column).
I am also adding AggregateFunctions to each of those columns (GridViewDataColumn.AggregateFunctions.Add()).
The function to create and add the columns is called in the class constructor right after InitializeComponent();
The RadGridView control itself is defined in XAML.

Now to the actual issue :

The problem arises when columns are added or recreated after that.
Then, adding columns to the gridview is really slow ( > 10 - 50 ms for each column).
I remove all columns using RadGridView.Columns.Clear() prior to adding the new ones.
This issue only comes up when AggregateFunctions were added to the columns before.
And it is not just getting slower - the time it takes to add a column actually increases with each column then.

Do have any idea what the reason for this behaviour might be?

Thanks and Kind Regards!

Self referencing grid

hi
i have a grid and i want to avoid scrollbars to the childs when i open the tree. Can you help me?

RadWindow.ShowDialog doesn't stay on top

Hi,

I'm using this code to show a modal RadWindow:

private void SendCommandExecuted(object parameter)

{

PopupDeviceView popupDeviceView = new PopupDeviceView();

PopupDeviceViewModel popupDeviceViewModel = (PopupDeviceViewModel)popupDeviceView.DataContext;

RadWindow radWindow = new RadWindow();

radWindow.Content = popupDeviceView;

radWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;

radWindow.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;

radWindow.CanClose = false;

radWindow.CanMove = false;

radWindow.ShowDialog();

}

it opens a RadWindow as modal, in the main window, but when I minimize that main window - my modal RadWindow dissapears, its only available with Alt+Tab windows keys - and only the main window is shown. And the worst - main window's button, that opened my RadWindow - can be hit with Enter key (not with mouse tho).

What should I do to make it trully 'modal'? TIA

Radial Tree layout doesn't respect container size

Greetings, Telerik!

In out project we use diagram with all available types of layout.
Almost all layout types works great but radial tree behaves weird and it's unclear how the one can fix it without your help.
Mostly, we have a lot of containers in diagram and when radial tree is applied it looks fine, but when container that was placed above is expanded it is placed above and connected container isn't visible. Attached file can explain it better than thousand words.

In project we agreed to use next TreeLayoutSettings (regarding Radial tree)

StartRadialAngle = 1.0,

EndRadialAngle = 6.5,

RadialFirstLEvelSeparation = 150.0,

RadialSeparation = 150,

KeepComponentsInOneRadialLayout = true,

I believe that OrgTreeRouter means nothing when layout is being done.
Also we're filling collection of Roots for settings according to some rules (mostly the root will be the shape/container with outgoing connections).

Is it possible for radial tree to respect margins and place containers with some margins?

Thanks in advance!
