Changing background color of GridViewCheckBoxColumn

Hi,

I am working on a RadGridView with a GridViewCheckBoxColumn using the Expression_DarkTheme. I'm trying to modify the colors, which is working well for most of the colors. But i have some problems with the background of the checkbox.
In edit mode i can modify the color by setting the BulletDecoratot.Bullet background color

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">

<BulletDecorator Background="Transparent" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">

<BulletDecorator.Bullet>

<Border x:Name="Border"

Width="13"

Height="13"

CornerRadius="0"

Background="White"

BorderThickness="1"

BorderBrush="#404040">

<Path

Width="7" Height="7"

x:Name="CheckMark"

SnapsToDevicePixels="False"

Stroke="#404040"

StrokeThickness="2"

Data="M 0 0 L 7 7 M 0 7 L 7 0" />

</Border>

</BulletDecorator.Bullet>

</BulletDecorator>

<ControlTemplate.Triggers>

<Trigger Property="HasContent" Value="true">

<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource CheckRadioFocusVisual}"/>

<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,0,0,0"/>

</Trigger>

<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>

</Trigger>

</ControlTemplate.Triggers>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

But i'm not able to change the color to white outside of the edit mode.

Can you please give me a hint?

Thanks
Andreas

Render related Appointments on same line in Timeline View

I have a situation where I would like to ensure that related appointments shown in Timeline View of the ScheduleView are displayed in sequence, on the same line in the view.

Scenario:
I'm using the ScheduleView to render "jobs" (each represented by an appointment instance). Some of these jobs are related to the same customer and occur in sequence - one starts when another one finishes.
Using the defaults, the Schedule sometimes renders such appointments next to each other, on the same line, but other times these appoinments are split across multiple lines.

Please see the attached screenshot for an example.
In the attached example I would like to ensure that the three appointments in red boxes are always rendered on the same line in Timeline view, because they are related to the same customer.

I have thought about using resources - one for each customer - but this will cause most jobs to be placed on its own line, which in turn will result in too much wasted screen space. The user will have to use vertical scrolling more to see all jobs. So I would like to achieve this without using resource grouping.

Is this possible to do?

live GroupHeaderRow Background color

Hi, I am using the following datatemplate to give different background color to the GroupHeaderRow

<telerik:RadGridView.GroupHeaderTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<CheckBox localBehavior:CheckBoxBehavior.IsEnabled="True" IsThreeState="True" Margin="0 0 3 0"/>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Group.Key}" Background="{Binding Path=Group.Items, Converter={StaticResource GroupHeaderColorResourceValueConverter}}"/>

</StackPanel>

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:RadGridView.GroupHeaderTemplate>

The .GroupHeaderColorResourceValueConverter will take the Group.Items as the input parameter and use certain property of the items to return different background color.

However, when the property of the item changes, the GroupRowBackground color is not changed. Is there a way to make the GroupViewModel to fire an event so the GroupHeaderRow can get the noticiation from it's ViewModel to refelect the changes?

I tried the approach in the following link but it does not seem to work for the background color.

Multiselect and Selecting Parent Items

Hello,

The setup:
- RadTreeView bound to an hierarchy.
- SelectMode is Multiselect
- Each node has an IsSelected property, RadTreeViewItem is bound to it using a style.

And one of requirements is that when a child is selected then all his parents should be selected too. And we've run into a problem implementing it.

Reproducing the problem:
- Expand parent node without selecting
- Click on a child
- The Child is selected and his parent too
- Click again on child
At this moment parent is unselected by the TreeView, while child is still selected.

Definition of IsSelected property:

public bool IsSelected

{

get { return isSelected; }

set

{

if (value == isSelected)

return;

isSelected = value;

NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => IsSelected);

if (Parent != null)

Parent.IsSelected = isSelected;

}

When clicking second time on a child, the IsSelected setter isn't called on a child, but sets to false for parent.

Basically I'd like to keep a visual "selection chain" from children to parent nodes. Anything special should be done in order to keep parent nodes selected?

Thanks

[Solved] Unable to achieve data virtualization with treelistview

Hi,

I am trying to use data virtualization with radtreelistview.

VirtualQueryableCollectionView vqResults = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView(lstData) { LoadSize = 100, VirtualItemCount = 100000 };
radTreelistView.ItemsSource = vqResults ;

But i am getting a blank screen.

If I directly assign the source to radtreelistview, it loads correctly.
I need to implement data virtualization with radtreelistview. Are there any demerits of using data virtualization ?
Can you please provide an example project.

Section, Block and Paragraph styles

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to extend the Section, Block and Paragraph objects, and wither they have any visual representation to them?

We are trying to create an editor using the RadRichTextbox, where the user should add one or more section (similar to the container concept in WPF) to the document, and then then add blocks within each section, and then they add text, images, inline controls...etc. to each block. After that, we want to enable the user to re-order those sections or the blocks within each section. So ideally, when a mouse over a section, the whole section border will be visible, to show the section boundaries. When the user right clicks, a context menu will show up to allow moving the section up/down. Same functionality should be there for blocks.

Can we use the section object “Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.Section” to achieve this functionality? We are inspiring our specific purpose editor from this hierarchy

http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radrichtextbox-features-document-elements-hierarchy.html

and would like to reuse those object! Any advice?

Cheers

RichTextBox
