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.

SummaryData

[] lstData = GetSummaryData();
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.

Thanks.

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

Validation using Data Annotations

Hi
I am using data annotations to validate items in a collection presented in a RadGridView.
It successfully validates a property of an item in the collection e.g. a name is required

// ...

{

public class GroupOfItems

{

[Required(ErrorMessage="Name must be provided!")]

public string GroupName { get; set; }

// ...

I now want to ensure the name is unique within the collection. I have tried adding the [Key] attribute but no error is indicated if I enter another item with the same name. It may be that [Key] is not appropriate in this context.

What can you suggest I do to implement this validation rule?
Thanks
Craig

[Solved] Collapsed RadRibbonTab header takes up space

I have a radribbonview defined as this:

<telerik:RadRibbonView IsMouseWheelTabScrollingEnabled="False" ApplicationButtonVisibility="Collapsed" TitleBarVisibility="Collapsed" Background="HotPink">

<telerik:RadRibbonTab HeaderVisibility="Collapsed">

<telerik:RadRibbonGroup />

...

<telerik:RadRibbonGroup />

</telerik:RadRibbonTab>

<telerik:RadRibbonView />

I set the background to hotpink to illustrate my problem. There is only one radribbontab inside the radribbonview - so I really do not need any header for it.

In my program it looks like this (see attached file). The top row of tabs ("Project", "Contacts"... are not part of this problem, my problem is on a radribbonview inside the "Suppliers" tab).

I changed it resently from RadRibbonBar to RadRibbonView because it kept bugging me that RadRibbonBar is obsolete.

How do I make the large "margin" in top go away (the margin is not really a margin - it is where my RadRibbon tab would have had it's header if it had one). Anything else I need to collapse?

Thanks
