I have defined a RadDocking in my MainWindow.xaml. At program startup, I want to load a layout from a resource XML file. Should I do this in the MainWindow's Loaded event?

In an ideal world, I would just include the xml in the XAML:
<include MyDockingConfiguration.xml />

Perhaps this can be done using ContentControl and a ControlTemplate?

Support for the Demo Controls

Hi,

1. I installed wpf demo controls on machine and i am working with them. but how can i access solution files for those controls.?

Why i am asking is the code you provided in the demo installer missing some stuff.

I am trying to see how treeview control works in WPF but it is missing some important file.

Goto FirstLook of RadTreeView Control
   Select Code
       Select Examle.xaml
         at the bottom of the file there is code like
<project:ContentControlEx Grid.Column="2"
    TemplateSelector="{StaticResource DetailsTemplateSelector}"
    DataContext="{Binding Path=SelectedItem, ElementName=xTreeView}" Content="{Binding}" />

but i dont see any ContentControlEx in the code files

Please provide those files or where can i find demo solution projects

Thanks
Rama

Setting template for ValidationSummary

In an earlier thread, Ivan wrote:

"You can create a new ControlTemplate for DataFormValidationSummary and set it through RadDataForm's ValidationSummaryStyle property. In this ControlTemplate you can set a new ItemTemplate to the ItemsControl placed in the summary. Please, use the latest internal build, if possible, as we have fixed a related issue there."

I'm trying to do this, but I'm only about half-way there.

I'm setting ValidationSummaryStyle on the RadDataForm:

<telerik:RadDataForm

...

ValidationSummaryStyle="{StaticResource validationSummaryStyle}"

/>

And in Resources I'm defining the style that sets DataFormValidationSummary.Template, and the ControlTemplate that it is being set to.

<UserControl.Resources>

<ControlTemplate x:Key="validationSummaryTemplate">

<Label>Foo</Label>

</ControlTemplate>

<Style TargetType="telerikDataForm:DataFormValidationSummary" x:Key="validationSummaryStyle">

<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource validationSummaryTemplate}" />

</Style>

</UserControl.Resources>

And this works, so far is it goes. I see the string "Foo" in the appropriate spot.

But I'm unclear as to what "set a new ItemTemplate to the ItemsControl placed in the summary" is supposed to mean.

Docking LayoutStream Problem

HI,

i use a RadDocking- Control and add Panes by code:

RadPane radPane = new RadPane() { Title = panename_s, Name = name_s };

RadDocking.SetSerializationTag(radPane, panename_s);

RadPaneGroup radPaneGroup = new RadPaneGroup();

RadSplitContainer radSplitContainer = new RadSplitContainer() { InitialPosition = DockState.FloatingDockable };

Controls.LayoutData MyControl = new Controls.LayoutData();

MyControl.Name = name_s;

radPane.Content = MyControl;

radPaneGroup.Items.Add(radPane);

radSplitContainer.Items.Add(radPaneGroup);

Docking.Items.Add(radSplitContainer);

This works fine. Now add one (AAA) Pane and save this layout to a xml-file. A second pane will be created (BBB). Now i delete
the second pane (BBB) and save the layout again. How do i delete this second pane from the LayoutStream? In my void "Docking_Element"-Method this second pane is still shown!

Thanks
Best Regards
Rene

LoadLayout

Hi,

i tried you exmaple to load my laypout, but i geht this error-message:
"The path specified format is not supported."

string path_s = Klassen.helper.WPFAnwendung_Path() + "\\Layout\\laoyut.xml";

// Load your layot from the isolated storage.

using ( IsolatedStorageFile storage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForAssembly() )

{

using (var isoStream = storage.OpenFile("E:\\WPF_Dev\\ITA-Reporting\\ITA-Reporting\\bin\\Debug\\Layout\\Layout.xml", FileMode.Open))

Save Layout with Controls??

Hi,

i add a RadPane dynamically by clicking a button.

{

RadPane radPane = new RadPane() { Content = new Controls.LayoutData() };

RadPaneGroup radPaneGroup = new RadPaneGroup();

RadSplitContainer radSplitContainer = new RadSplitContainer() { InitialPosition = DockState.FloatingDockable };

radPaneGroup.Items.Add(radPane);

radSplitContainer.Items.Add(radPaneGroup);

Docking.Items.Add(radSplitContainer);

}

As you can see the Content of the RadPane ist a Usercontrol called "Controls.LayoutData". In this Control i can choose a Report,
which is shown in the Control.

But how do i save this layout?

This way just save the Layout with empty RadPanes:

try

{

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

this.Docking.SaveLayout(stream);

stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);

string xml_s = reader.ReadToEnd();

string path_s = Klassen.helper.WPFAnwendung_Path() + "/Layout/laoyut.xml";

using (StreamWriter Mywriter = new StreamWriter(@path_s))

{

Mywriter.Write(xml_s);

Mywriter.Close();

Mywriter.Dispose();

}

how do I save the contents of the newly created/all RadPanes????

Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Rene

Radpane MVVM floating issue

I have a radpane which can have different viewmodels as a datatemplate. I attached my object to the content of the radpane.
When the pane is docked there is not issue, but when the pane is in the floating state, the templated control only shows the datatype of the viewmodel.

 <telerik:RadPane x:Name="paneManufacturers" 
                  Header="{x:Static Properties:Resources.LabelLibraryExplorer}"
                  Content="{Binding AvailableItems}">
</telerik:RadPane>

WPF RadGridView containing RadDatePicker - How to change Style of date picker upon Trigger of GridViewRow IsSelected

Specifically i want to change the background color of the RadDatePicker (as well as the whole row) when i am changing the currently selected row with the up/down arrow keys.

To change the color of current row (highlighted) is achieved somewhat using Style.Triggers as per the following code:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="tlrkGridView"

IsFilteringAllowed="False" ShowGroupPanel="False" CanUserSortColumns="False" IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"

ItemsSource="{Binding Players}"

AutoGenerateColumns="False">

<telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewRow}">

<Style.Triggers>

<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">

<Setter Property="Background" Value="AliceBlue"></Setter>

</Trigger>

</Style.Triggers>

</Style>

</telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Number}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Country}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding StartDate}" DataFormatString="{} {0: d/MM/yyyy}" Header="Custom Header">

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="datePicker" DateTimeWatermarkContent="<Select a date>" SelectedValue="{Binding StartDate, Mode=OneWay}" />

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name="datePickerEdit" DateTimeWatermarkContent="<Select a date>" SelectedValue="{Binding StartDate, Mode=TwoWay}" />

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding EndDate}" DataFormatString="{} {0: d/MM/yyyy}" />

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding ClubID}"

ItemsSource="{Binding Clubs, Source={StaticResource MyViewModel}}"

SelectedValueMemberPath="ID" >

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.ItemTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Grid>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition />

<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding ID}"/>

<TextBlock Text=" - " Grid.Column="1"/>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Grid.Column="2"/>

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

But HOW TO MAKE THE TRIGGER AFFECT/SET THE STYLE OF THE RadDatePicker which is contained within the RadGridView? Is it do-able in XAML ?

Basically i want to make the color of a selected row (the whole row) the same, regardless of whether it contains default column types, or other controls within a column. The GridViewComboBoxColumn behaves as expected, and EndDate field in my example behaves as expected. The reason i am using a RadDatePicker is because i want to show the Calendar icon in cell view mode.
