Localizing GridViewGroupPanelText (refresh dynamically when culture changes)

Hi!

Is is possible to get GridViewGroupPanelText to refresh when application culture changes? I have created custom resx (GridViewResources.en.resx and GridViewResources.resx) and it's working on initialization but does not change when the culture is changed during application execution.

I have added ResourceManager to .xaml.cs like this:

public BillingView()

{

LocalizationManager.Manager = new LocalizationManager()

{

ResourceManager = GridViewResources.ResourceManager

};

InitializeComponent();

}

Br,

Redirect to another page using GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn.

Greetings.

The code below (see partial XAML and C#) display the grid of "Prospects".
Prospect's First, Last, and Middle name are GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn. User can click on one of those three columns and be redirected to the Prospect's edit form.
All this works perfectly until user decides to sort the grid (no matter which column).
After the grid has been sorted, clicking on First, Last, or Middle name has NO EFFECT.

Am I missing something?
If there is anything wrong, I certainly can't see it anymore.
Please help.

Thank you,

Frank M.

Connection to oracle olap cube

Dear Telerik Support Team!

I am so beginner with C# and WPF technologic. My managers liked the telerik's options what they could saw with your demos.
I have to use Oracle 11g database server, therefore I maked a sample OLAP database and sample cubes.
I have a hostname(192.168.81.112), a port(1521), and a SID(orcl), and a username, and password to identify that oracle database connection. I found some sample what you have done (RadPivotGrid-XmlaDataProvider-SimpleApp-SL) it looks like those maked to microsoft databases.
The cube name is SALES_CUBE and the used dimensions are: CHANNEL, TIME, GEOGRAPHY, PRODUCT.
Do you have any sample code how could i use any provider to oracle olap cube?

Thank you in anticipation,
Best regards,

Ed

RadTreeListView performance

Hi

RadTreeListView is taking time to display the records when the volume of records being added at very shot intervals are high
The same piece of code works absolutely find in RadGridView just replacing the RadTreeListView to RadGridView in xaml

To explain further, If I have 20k records in RadTreeListView and add 10 records at a time three times in a very quick succession (few milliseconds gap), the UI freezes for a few milliseconds and displays 30 records at one go where as the same piece of code works fine in RadGridView as I can see 10 records each coming in to the Grid.

Unfortunately I cannot post the sourcecode as it is bit complex but would like to know if I am missing anything? It could be just a property or something else or is it the behavior of RadTreeListView?

I have one level of hierarchy in RadTreeListView and it is the same behavior even if the hierarchy do not contain any data

The reason I am using RadTreeListView is basically it aligns the columns in the hierarchy with parent records which is missing in RadGridView

Any information is much appreciated.

RadDateTimePicker input error

Hello,

I'm getting this error if i try to input "9999/12/31 24:00".
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The added or subtracted value results in an un-representable DateTime.
Parameter name: value

This doesn't happen the first time. The first time, it just changes to 12:00 which is okay. On re-input, I get the above error. Somehow the control throws this error and I can't catch this even in the viewModel.

Snapping to connectors?

You have IsSnapToItemsEnabled and IsSnapToGridEnabled. Neither of these snaps to connectors (custom-positioned connectors). I believe snapping is pretty useless if you cannot snap in such way that connections are perpendicular lines.

E.g. This is what it looks like when snapping is enabled. No matter what, the line between the connectors will be non-perpendicular.

[------------------C------------------]
                        \
      [--------------C--------------]

Moving to the left snaps to a new grid line:

[------------------C------------------]
                       /
    [--------------C--------------]

What I want is this:

[------------------C------------------]
                       |
    [--------------C--------------]

Can you please add such a feature? You have to agree that it makes sense to have this. Thanks.

Advanced connector styling

I have custom classes and custom styles for RadDiagram, RadDiagramShape, RadDiagramConnection, RadDiagramConnector. Now I have run into a styling issue that requires pro help from you :)

I want my connectors to show their label when either of these two conditions is met:
1) The connector's shape (or any of its children) is hovered by the mouse.
2) Any connection, from any shape, is being dragged.

I started off adding a TextBlock to my connector style, but it seems I cannot properly toggle its visibility. If I set it to "Collapsed", it is never shown. Maybe this approach is all wrong, but still, here it is:

<Style TargetType="chart:MyChartConnector" x:Key="MyChartConnectorStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource RadDiagramConnectorStyle}">

<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}" />

<Setter Property="Width" Value="Auto" />

<Setter Property="Height" Value="Auto" />

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="chart:MyChartConnector">

Contextual Tab Binding to IsActive

I am trying to bind a contextual group to the IsActive property using a custom property of a UserControl. The contextual tab should only be shown after the user has selected a port from a dropdown list. I have tried each of the following with no success, but hopefully it gives you an idea of what I'm trying to do.

<telerik:RadRibbonView.ContextualGroups>

	<telerik:RadRibbonContextualGroup x:Name=

"xCOM" IsActive="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=IsPortSelected}"

/>

	<telerik:RadRibbonContextualGroup x:Name=

"xCOM" IsActive="{Binding ElementName=_this, Path=IsPortSelected}"

/>

	<telerik:RadRibbonContextualGroup x:Name=

"xCOM" IsActive="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type local:MyRibbon}}, Path=IsPortSelected}"

/>

	<telerik:RadRibbonContextualGroup x:Name=

"xCOM" IsActive="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}, Path=IsPortSelected}"

/>

</telerik:RadRibbonView.ContextualGroups>

Where IsPortSelected is the property in MyRibbon:

string _port = "";

public string Port

{

get { return _port; }

set

{

if (_port == value)

{

return;

}

_port = value;

}

public bool IsPortSelected

{

get

{

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(_port))

{

return false;

} else if (_port.Equals("Port")) {

return false;

}

return true;

}

set { }

}

Is there something wrong with my binding statement? Or do I need to do something else in the code behind, such as implementing a PropertyChangedEventHandler (which I have tried with no success as well)?
