Hello,
I'm evaluating RadControls for WPF.
My program need many custom shapes like visio stencil.

I want to convert vector images into custom shapes for diagram.

What I did is as follows.

1. Convert sample wmf file into xaml file with MS Expression Design 4
    Export-Format as XAML WPF Canvas

2. I refered CustomShapeExample and inserted xaml code in Generic.xaml by MSED4 for my own custom shape.
<Style TargetType="local:MyFirstShape">
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="4" />
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#6C666666" />
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="350" />
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="300" />
        <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" />
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />


        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:MyFirstShape">
                    <Canvas xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Name="Document" Width="190.904" Height="179.643" Clip="F1 M 0,0L 190.904,0L 190.904,179.643L 0,179.643L 0,0">
                        <Canvas x:Name="MC900295085" Width="799.598" Height="599.808" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0">
                            <Path x:Name="Path" Width="92.3327" Height="66.4918" Canvas.Left="98.5714" Canvas.Top="98.588" Stretch="Fill" Fill="#ED000000" Data="M 190.904,159.906L 190.232,160.002L ..... 190.904,159.906 Z "/>
...
...
...
                        </Canvas>
                    </Canvas>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

3. Then I could load it's image in a diagram, but it didn't resize.

Question.
We need to make custom shapes with vector image. Could you tell me the best way for this?

Regards,

If the ChartPanAndZoomBehavior is changed after the chart has been constructed then the Pan and Zoom bars on the chart are not updated to reflect the new behavior.

For example, the chart is constructed with a pan and zoom behavior set to allow both panning and zooming. Later, based on user interaction, the original pan and zoom behavior is removed and a new pan and zoom behavior that only allows panning is added. The user can no longer use the mouse to draw a rectangle to zoom the chart but the pan and zoom bars still have handles that let the user zoom.

Is there a way to get the pan and zoom bars to update to match the pan and zoom behavior?

I have a Radgrid where if i group by certain columns and then edit some rows data. It will automatically shift that row to the group that it should belong to. Is there any way i can stop this behavior.

hi,

is it possible to use the RadContextMenue in a Outlook 2010 Mailbody ContextMeneu?

Thanks
best Regards

Hi,
I am getting this error when debugging my application:- System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: 'Initialization of 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadPropertyGrid' threw an exception.' Line number '8' and line position '34'. ---> System.Xaml.XamlObjectWriterException: Set property 'System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.Source' threw an exception. ---> System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Set property 'System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.DeferrableContent' threw an exception. ---> System.Xaml.XamlObjectWriterException: Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input, PublicKeyToken=5803cfa389c90ce7' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ...

This only happens when the RadPropertyGrid is the first and only Telerik control that is displayed/loaded.

I have another form that contains a RadComboBox and a RadGridView. If I display that first, close it then load the form with the RadPropertyGrid, the error does not occur.

So, I added a RadComboBox before the RadPropertyGrid in the XAML and the error goes away.

My application .Net 4, WPF, C# and is structured in MVVM style so the XAML code-behind is the default. However, the host application insists the WPF view (WPF user control) be presented in a Windows Forms user control so the container hierarchy is Windows Forms user control > element host > WPF user control.

I'm trialling RadControls for WPF 2012.3.1129.40.

Please can you suggest what I should check?
Thanks
Craig

Title says it all: is the RadChart supposed to support anonymous types?

I was test driving some of the Telerik controls and kept getting the exception at the end of this post. This exception was captured both by the Visual Studio designer and at runtime. As soon as I replaced the anonymous type with a nested class the exception went away.

I created a layout algorithm similar to what's used in the OrgChart example. I call .Layout on it when the window hosting the diagram resizes and also call AutoFit on the diagram. Works perfectly once the window is resized. The problem I'm having, however, is that when the window first loads, the shapes are all stacked in the upper left corner. When is the proper time to run the same algorithm to get an initial layout and auto fit? Is there an event we can hook when the diagram is ready for layout?

When adding a GridViewHyperlinkColumn to a GridView I expect the links to adapt to the current theme. I'm currently using Expression Dark and the links are vivid blue. Not so nice...

I consider this a bug. Your links should adapt to the current theme!

I tried overriding the style...

<Grid.Resources>
  <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerikGrid:HyperlinkButton}">
  <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
  </Style>
</Grid.Resources>

<telerik:GridViewHyperlinkColumn Header="Link" />

Doesn't work.

Hi,
Im having troubles when having two dataseries in chart.
The series have different start and end dates that do not intersect.

The problem is that mars displays twice and the months seem to fall in wrong month (see attachment)
In the picture the blue (history) series should start in November and end in March.
The green (2013) series should start in April and end in December.

Here is the code that creates the series.

Can you help me you  ?

Hi

 I am using Docking and all my RadPanel's have content controls that support scrollbars except for one RadPane.  I can get scrollbars by using the microsoft scrollviewer but my whole screen looks weird because one panel has a different style than all the others.  It seems that this defeats the purpose of using themes.  If there are xaml styles already built for this could they be provided with detail instructions on how to incorporate.  I have limited xaml experience and zero Blend experience.  I use third-party controls so I can concentrate on the c# part of the app without having to worry to much about xaml. 

Thanks
Rich
