Hello,

I am experiencing a problem with the Calendar when applying a custom style : when any style is applied on an instance of the RadCalendar, the Calendar UI is not correctly updating when switching from a month to another, and selected values become inconsistent.

This can be easilly reproduced by adding a RadCalendar such as :

<telerik:RadCalendar HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="299" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="497" Style="{DynamicResource RadCalendarStyle1}"/>

, RadCalendarStyle1 beeing a copy of the unmodified original RadCalendar Template (created via Blend "Edit a Template" -> "Edit a Copy" menu).

I can provide the project files if needed.

Regards,

Calendar

Building Source for deployment

I am trying to follow the instructions to create protected Telerik assemblies for deployment with my WPF application.

I see that in each control folder there is are two WPF solutions (among others)
*_WPF.sln
*_WPF_Work.sln

What is the _Work version for? I assume I should use the *_WPF.sln version?
Was there some guidance in the documentation about that question that I overlooked?

However, when I build either version I get errors. I already successfully built the Core\XCore_WPF.sln solution.

Here is an example of an error I get when building the ImageEditor control: (either of the two WPF solutions)

Error 3 Unknown build error, 'The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) Line 837 Position 26.' D:\Dev\Telerik\Telerik_UI_for_WPF_Source_2014_1_0331\Controls\ImageEditor\ImageEditor\themes\GenericOfficeBlack.xaml 837 26

Clicking "Maximize" icon in RadTileViewItem header does nothing.

Hello,

I am trying to customize my RadTileViewItem header using one of your ResourceDictionary, I downloaded from one of your examples in the forums. It worked nicely and I am able to change the color and effects in the header.

But the issue is, on clicking the maximize button in header it does nothing except changing the icon to minimize. I was expecting it to actually maximize the item. I am guessing that I need to stick some code to make that happen but where to write that code is my confusion.

Can you please suggest anything,

Thanks,
Deepak

P.S: Apologies for sticking a long code but it doesn't allow me to attach a XAML/zip file.

IsVirtualizing and PreservePositionWhenMaximized issue

I am having an issue when I have both IsVirtualizing and PreservePositionWhenMaximized set to true.

Here is the window code.

<Window x:Class="TileTest.MainWindow"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"

WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen">

<Window.Resources>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />

</DataTemplate>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate">

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl>

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl.SmallContent>

<TextBlock Text="small" />

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl.SmallContent>

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl.Content>

<TextBlock Text="default" />

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl.Content>

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl.LargeContent>

<TextBlock Text="large" />

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl.LargeContent>

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl>

</DataTemplate>

</Window.Resources>

<Grid>

<telerik:RadTileView x:Name="radTileView"

ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplate}"

ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}"

MinimizedColumnWidth="200"

MinimizedRowHeight="200"

PreservePositionWhenMaximized="True"

IsVirtualizing="True"

/>

</Grid>

</Window>

Here is the code behind.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Windows;

namespace TileTest

{

public partial class MainWindow : Window

{

public MainWindow()

{

InitializeComponent();

var data = new List<string>();

foreach (var num in Enumerable.Range(1, 12))

{

data.Add(String.Format("Item {0}", num));

}

this.radTileView.ItemsSource = data;

}

This gives a view with 12 items. If I double click the header of "item 1", it will maximize. If I scroll down to "item 12"
and double click it, it will maximize and the scroll possition will change slightly. If I scroll to the top of the small list, "item 1" is gone. If I restore "item 12" (all items normal size), "item 1" reappears.

If I set either the IsVirtualizing or PreservePositionWhenMaximized to false, the items do not "disappear". PreservePositionWhenMaximized needs to be true for our impementaion and disabling virualization is less than ideal.

Any ideas?

combobox as suggestion/autocomplete from database

I'm able to get items from a database into a combobox, but it's querying way too much data. Also, the selected item isn't displaying the string I expected. Instead, it's showing the object type as a string. I clearly don't understand something and I'm stuck even though I'm following this.

Database table name = CityCountyState, e.g.

City County State

--------- --------- ---------

City1 County1 State1

City1 County2 State1

City2 County3 State2

City3 County4 State3

A city can be in more than one county, which is why I want to use a complex data template:

01.<DataTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxCustomTemplate">

02. <Grid Margin="0,2,0,2">

03. <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

04. <ColumnDefinition />

05. <ColumnDefinition />

06. </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

07. <Grid.RowDefinitions>

08. <RowDefinition />

09. <RowDefinition />

10. </Grid.RowDefinitions>

11. <TextBlock TextAlignment="Left" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding City}" />

12. <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Orientation="Horizontal">

13. <TextBlock Text="County: " />

14. <TextBlock Foreground="Blue" Text="{Binding County}" />

15. </StackPanel>

16. <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Orientation="Horizontal">

17. <TextBlock Text="State: " />

18. <TextBlock Foreground="Blue" Text="{Binding State}" />

19. </StackPanel>

20. </Grid>

21.</DataTemplate>

Combo box XAML:

1.<telerik:RadComboBox

2. IsEditable="True"

3. StaysOpenOnEdit="True"

4. ItemsSource="{Binding Path=CitiesCountiesStates}"

5. SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedCityCountyState}"

6. OpenDropDownOnFocus="True"

7. IsFilteringEnabled="True"

8. ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ComboBoxCustomTemplate}" />

Viewmodel:

01.public class AddEditViewModel : ViewModelBase<IDialogView>, IDisposable

02.{

03. private readonly GeotechLogContext context;

04.

05. public ObservableCollection<CityCountyState> CitiesCountiesStates { get; set; }

06. private string _SelectedCityCountyState;

07. public string SelectedCityCountyState

08. {

09. get

10. {

11. return this._SelectedCityCountyState;

12. }

13. set

14. {

15. // This doesn't work, but it's what I want to do in concept.

16. // Value is always a string that equals the object type

17. //

18. // CityCountyState x = (CityCountyState) value;

19. // this._SelectedCityCountyState = x.City + "," + x.County + "," + x.State;

20. this._SelectedCityCountyState = value;

21. }

22. }

23.

24. public AddEditViewModel : base( new AddEditWindow() )

25. {

26. this.context = new GeotechLogContext();

27. this.CitiesCountiesStates = new ObservableCollection<CityCountyState>

28. (this.context.CityCountyStates.ToList<CityCountyState>() );

29. }

30.}

The problem is obviously at line 27/28, but I don't know how to do it.

Problem with Controls on RadDocument

Hello

We have strange behavior on Twinhead Durabook T7M hardware (http://goldrushtechnology.com.au/Products/tabid/57/ProdID/2825/Default.aspx) OS: Microsoft Windows 7 32 bit.

When we try to activate the edit controls (f.e. RadComboBox) via the touch pen, they do not become active. Controls are provided by InlineUIContainer on the object RadDocument.

The result is that data can not be replaced via the touch pen. Edit controls have focus only for a fraction of a second, and then focus is lost.

When working with mouse there was no such problem. Installing other drivers for the touch pen did not help.

Problem occurs only for objects placed on the object RadDocument.

Version of Telerik software is 2013 Q2.

Best regards

Daniel Gontarek

Best Practices: Removing Columns from Grid

I have been using Persistence Framework to save the state of RadGridViews. The RadGridViews have a column chooser which enables the user to change the visible columns (IsVisible=true/false). The WPF program saves the state of grids on exit, and loads them when the program starts. This works very well.

However, recently, as part of an update to the software, I had to remove a column definition from the XAML and the Data Model. I noticed that when the program was loaded again, the column still appears (because I had chosen it in my grid) but the values are all blank.

My question is:
Are there any best practices for using the Persistence Framework with new releases of my software? For example, a way to force an update/automatically remove the persisted data for a particular grid that changes?
