This has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find any clear answer.
The documentation only mentions the Ctrl key.

Does the RadTreeView support multiselection of several nodes at once via the Shift key?

How to change the style of a RibbonWindow title

Hi,

I've looked around the forum for an answer to this one but nothing seems to have worked for me.

The RibbonWindow's default title style causes problems for my users. By default we have black text on a glass background (Windows 7). When the user has a dark wallpaper, they are unable to read the title bar at all. Also, when maximised, the title is a little too high in the bar to match the standard windows title bar.

I'd like to add a semi-transparent white background behind the title bar caption to match Windows 7 and move the text down a couple of pixels when maximised. Is this possible? Ideally I would like to do this without using code behind, only XAML, as this is an M-V-VM solution.

Thanks

RadRibbonView no causing a lose focus on editing RadGridView row

I have upgraded to the latest WPF RadControls and have moved from the RsdRibbonBar to the RadRibbonView.

When I used the RadRibbonBar, if I hit a button on the bar it would cause a lose focus on the row of the RadGridView that I was editing and move it out of this mode.

However the RadRibbonView does not have this default behaviour. It will not cause a lose focus event and when a button on it is clicked, the RadGridView row that is being edited will stay in edit mode.

How can I get the RadRibbonView to behave in the same way as the RadRibbonBar??

Thanks

Using strings for y-axis values

public class PlotItemViewModel

{

//y-axis value

public string City { get; set; }

//x-axis value

public DateTime StartTime { get; set; }

//added to provide a value useful to a linear axis

public int Sequence { get; set; }

}

public class PlotItems

{

public ObservableCollection<PlotItemViewModel> Items { get; set; }

public DateTime RangeStart { get; set; }

public DateTime RangeEnd { get; set; }

public PlotItems()

{

Items = new ObservableCollection<PlotItemViewModel>();

var dateTime = DateTime.Now;

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "Atlanta", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(50), Sequence = 6 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "Atlanta", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(10), Sequence = 6 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "New York", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(100), Sequence = 5 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "Miami", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(120), Sequence = 4 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "Miami", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(150), Sequence = 4 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "Savannah", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(200), Sequence = 3 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "Birmingham", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(250), Sequence = 2 });

Items.Add(new PlotItemViewModel() { City = "New Orleans", StartTime = dateTime.AddMinutes(280), Sequence = 1 });

Items = new ObservableCollection<PlotItemViewModel>(Items.OrderBy(x => x.StartTime));

RangeStart = Items.First().StartTime.AddMinutes(-Items.First().StartTime.Minute);

RangeEnd = Items.Last().StartTime.AddMinutes(-Items.Last().StartTime.Minute).AddHours(1);

}

<telerik:RadCartesianChart Margin="5" >

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

<telerik:DateTimeContinuousAxis Title="Time" MajorStepUnit="Hour" MajorStep="1" LabelFormat="h:mm tt" Minimum="{Binding RangeStart}" Maximum="{Binding RangeEnd}">

</telerik:DateTimeContinuousAxis>

</telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

<telerik:LinearAxis Title="Cities" />

</telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.Series>

<telerik:LineSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"

CategoryBinding="StartTime" ValueBinding="Sequence"

Stroke="Orange" StrokeThickness="2">

</telerik:LineSeries>

</telerik:RadCartesianChart.Series>

</telerik:RadCartesianChart>

I'm working on a simple application with a burn-down chart that will display city names along the y-axis while displaying time values along the x-axis. I am having difficulty getting the chart to display when setting up the line series to display both the string property and date time property.

Is there a way to do this by default? Which axes would provide this functionality if any? I've provided an image of what currently displays, which is what I would like; except that rather than the integers I would like to see the city names. I have provided the integer values as that has been the only way I have been able to get the data to plot in a way that most resembles the final product I wish to have.

Change Color for Individual Bar in RadChart

Telerik,

Our development team use your WPF controls, in particular, this issue deals with the RadChart control. I have a need to change the color on an individual bar without changing the other bar colors in the data series, and I need to do this in code-behind.

I've attached a picture of my chart output. In the example, the y-axis is minutes and the x-axis is divided into four categories (3,10,11,18). Each category could display up to three bars. Based on a threshold per category/bar, a single bar could change color. For example, bar 2 under category 3 may need to turn red, but I don't want any of the other bars to turn red (just that bar only).

At the DataPoint level, I'm updating dp.YValue and dp.Tooltip for each bar, and it is at this level that I make a decision about the bar's color based on the YValue.

The entire chart (RadChart) is being created in code-behind (no XAML). How can I accomplish this task?

Thanks,

Chart

RadGridVew with “Custom Hierarchy Template” and dynamic columns

Hi,

I am trying to create a RadGridView with a child template, I based my code this example : http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/Hierarchy/HierarchyChildTemplate

But on top of this I wanted to have a number of dynamic columns at the top level and also at the child template level. However when I set the XAML AutoGenerateColumns attribute to True it does not interpret the column with the data for the child template, it just processes it as a regular field value.

I am using the DataTable objects to store the dynamic property values.

What do I need to do to get WPF to process the "LowerLevel" property into the ChildTemplate?

(FYI: I am consuming an XML file hence the need for dynamic columns, below is a simplified example of what I am trying to do)

Thanks for your help!

John

How to speedup gridview binding delay

Hello, when I took a look to wpf telerik demos I was impressed of loading time of the grid binded to one milion record.
I'm doing the same in my application, but I can't get same performance.

I'm using linq to entity framework for data access and I bind to an Entity with one milion records.

Loading time is very high, so I want to know hoe to obtain such performance.

I also download this example, but it's not working, it gives error in opening database:

http://blogs.telerik.com/vladimirenchev/posts/10-04-15/blazing_fast_performance_with_radgridview_for_wpf_4_0_and_entity_framework_4_0.aspx

Anyone can halp me?
