mystery of the missing controls (Win8 theme bug)

N.B. Framework 4.5

// first in Application App.cs set at runtime theme windows8
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new Windows8Theme();
}

// Then create two VIEW

// First is MASTER_VIEW
// ADD XAML
<telerik:RadTabControl Grid.Row="0" >

            <telerik:RadTabItem DropDownContent="Trend Import" Header="DETAIL" >
                <telerik:RadTabItem.Content>
                    <views:DETAIL_VIEW/>
                </telerik:RadTabItem.Content>
            </telerik:RadTabItem>

</telerik:RadTabControl>

// ADD SECOND XAML -> DETAIL_VIEW
<Grid>

   <GroupBox Header="tyy tyy" >
           <TextBlock Text="Settings"/>
    </GroupBox>
</Grid>

Build and run WPF APPLICATION

TextBlock is not visible. Cannot see content(Text) of any TextBlock controls?
I use default style at all.

Workaround:
Remove: OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e) function, stay at default theme.
You will see all textblock controls again.

Additional info: This bug depends and others controls like GroupBox and others.

Framework 4.5
VS2012

Telerik v. 2013.2.611.45 (For framework 4.5)

This is styles that I use. In comment is second workaround.

Theme StyleManager performance

Hi

I have noticed some huge performance difference when the StyleManager is enabled - default value - or when disabled.

When enabled every telerik control will reset template in OnInitialized method:

One window with 6 RadComboBox elements: ResetTheme takes 585 ms ..

How can I specify application wide theme -windows8- and disable the stylemanager:
Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.IsEnabled = False

Thanks

RowStyle cause blank rows

Hello,

I'm trying to implement drag&drop in a radgridview.

I'm using this how to :
http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/dragdropmanager-howto-draganddrop-within-radgridview.html

Everything is ok, but as soon as I add rowstyle code block, my rows are displayed blank (scrollbar remains visible).

This code is ok :

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Object.Details.Attributes}"

AutoGenerateColumns="True"

ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"

ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"

ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"

CanUserDeleteRows="False"

CanUserInsertRows="False"

CanUserReorderColumns="False"

CanUserResizeRows="False"

CanUserFreezeColumns="False"

CanUserSortColumns="False"

IsFilteringAllowed="False"

RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"

ShowGroupPanel="False"

DataLoadMode="Asynchronous"

IsReadOnly="{Binding IsEditing, Converter={StaticResource InvertBoolConverter}}"

EnableRowVirtualization="True"

FrozenColumnCount="1"

AllowDrop="True"

behaviors:RowReorderBehavior.IsEnabled="True"

BeginningEdit="Attributes_RadGridView_BeginningEdit"

>

<telerik:RadGridView.Resources>

<DataTemplate x:Key="DraggedItemTemplate">

<StackPanel>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<TextBlock Text="Dragging:" />

<TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentDraggedItem}"

FontWeight="Bold" />

</StackPanel>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentDropPosition}" FontWeight="Bold" MinWidth="45" />

<TextBlock Text=", (" Foreground="Gray" />

<TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentDraggedOverItem}" />

<TextBlock Text=")"

Foreground="Gray" />

</StackPanel>

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:RadGridView.Resources>

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Attribute" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Attribute.TechName}" IsReadOnly="True"/>

.......

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Length" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Attribute.Details.LengthInternal}" IsReadOnly="True"/>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView

>



But with this code, rows are displayed blank (only headers and scrollbars are visibles) :




<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding Object.Details.Attributes}"
                        AutoGenerateColumns="True"
                        ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"
                        ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"

                        CanUserReorderColumns="False"
                        CanUserResizeRows="False"
                        CanUserFreezeColumns="False"
                        CanUserSortColumns="False"

                        AllowDrop="True"
                        behaviors:RowReorderBehavior.IsEnabled="True"
                        BeginningEdit="Attributes_RadGridView_BeginningEdit"
                     >
 
    <telerik:RadGridView.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="DraggedItemTemplate">
            <StackPanel>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                    <TextBlock Text="Dragging:" />

                    <TextBlock Text=")"
                  Foreground="Gray" />
                </StackPanel>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadGridView.Resources>
     
 
 
 
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
 
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Attribute" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Attribute.TechName}" IsReadOnly="True"/>
           .....
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Length" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Attribute.Details.LengthInternal}" IsReadOnly="True"/>
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
 
    <telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>
        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
            <Setter Property="telerik:DragDropManager.AllowDrag" Value="True" />
        </Style>
    </telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>
 
</telerik:RadGridView>

Do you know what is the root cause ?

Thanks in advance,

ChartSeriesProvider change SeriesColor at runtime

Hi,
I'm using MvvM and the RadCartesianChart.
I bind the series to a list of business objects of that kind:

public class MainViewModel

{

public ObservableCollection<DataObject> Data{get;set;}

...

}

public class DataObject

{

public string Name { get; set; }

public ObservableCollection<DataPair> Data { get; set; }

}

public class DataPair

{

public DateTime Time { get; set; }

public double Value { get; set; }

}

In my View:

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.SeriesProvider>

<telerik:ChartSeriesProvider Source="{Binding Data}">

<telerik:ChartSeriesProvider.SeriesDescriptors>

<telerik:CategoricalSeriesDescriptor ItemsSourcePath="Data" ValuePath="Value" CategoryPath="Time">

<telerik:CategoricalSeriesDescriptor.Style>

<Style TargetType="telerik:LineSeries">

<Setter Property="RenderMode" Value="Light"/>

</Style>

</telerik:CategoricalSeriesDescriptor.Style>

</telerik:CategoricalSeriesDescriptor>

</telerik:ChartSeriesProvider.SeriesDescriptors>

</telerik:ChartSeriesProvider>

</telerik:RadCartesianChart.SeriesProvider>

How is it possible to change the color of each series at runtime.
If I put a Setter on the Stroke Property I got an exception: NullReferenceException

Creating RadChart Programmatically

I would like to know if there is some sample code to create a RadChart programmatically.

I only have this code in the xaml file:

<telerik:RadChart Content="RadChart" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,455,0,10" Grid.Row="1" Width="791"/>

And I would like to create the series, configure the axes, bind the chart to a datatable where I have the data that I want to show, in the cs file.

Thanks,

Alberto

RTB in version 11.3

I have tried to ask a question on another thread, but have not gotten any support, so am generating a new thread. I have seen the example, and have based a project on it, but some features are not the same as the sample so not working. This is at least partially due to the version, but I do not currently have the ability to work on a newer version:

1) CurrentEditingContext is not the same, being a property with the current context, as opposed to a class with header and footer context properties, and there is no Table context. This also means that there is no possibility of INotifyPropertyChanged working for showing the Table and Header/Footer ribbons. Not sure what the best approach is to deal with showing these menus. Probably had an old version that worked.

2) The sample code does not contain the implementation for the content of the Insert Merge Field, so not sure what would be considered ideal. In addition, all the Mailings buttons are all disabled so cannot be sure if implementation is working

I tried to included the project, but changing the extension from zip to gif did not work. Give me a way to send the project and I will.

Thanks so much for the help.

Stop document history - coloring document text

Hi,

is there any possibility to stop history? In my case user writes into the radrichtextbox. If he writes some word/phrase, event DocumentContentChange is thrown and I make at this point something like:
Go throw the document and try to find "my" (from dictionary) words - set CaretPosition on the beginning of the document and then go step by step, word by word throw the document, setting selectionstart and selectionend and getting words from selection. If word is in my dictionary, set its foreground color.
After setting text foreground of whole document, colors are as shoud be. But problem is, that user cannot use undo/redo, because in history there are all selections used for coloring foregrounds. I need to make something like History.Stop()/Start() or finally set history from the beginning (but there is no setter).
Any idea how to work better with history? Any better solutions for my case? Maybe I shoud set foreground somehow a better way...

Thanks so much for help.
