I have a RadDatePicker in which I set IsTabStop="True" and TabIndex=4.
However, this does not work the way I expected it to.
As TabStop #4 The whole RadPicker is selected - and I can no "do" anything but move on - there's no way to type text in the TextBox or open the picker dialog.
However at the end of my hand-set-tab-order the tab jumps into the the RadDatePicker-TextBox to edit the date.

How can I make the RadDatePicker-TextBox be part of my TabOrder ??

I am using the RadControls for wpf 2009.Q2

yours,
Nils

Documentation missing

I rebuilt my system and installed the latest controls I have access to:
RadControls_for_WPF_2012_2_0607_Dev.msi

However, the documentation is not installed even though it says it is. I don't see in the program files folder and it's not in the MSDN help collection. I download the zip file instead and there's no help files in there.

I downloaded help files from here:
http://www.telerik.com/documents/RadControlsForWpf-help3.zip

But no documenation appeared in MSDN. However my VS2008 MSDN no longer works after that:
"Microsoft Document Explorer cannot be shown because the specified help collection 'ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en' is invalid."

The 'View_RadControls.For.WPF' shortcut does show the docs but not in the merged help. Please help. I don't recall having this issue with previous version. I have VS2008 and VS2010, although I only use 2008 for compact framework projects.

Spellchecker for RadGridView with red wavy

Hi,

I have two questions for the spell checker used in Radgrid view.

1. Is there anyway that it automatically shows the red wavy (a red curve line) under a incorrect word in the edit mode? I read the
documentation, the RichTextBox has this support, can we do that for the gridView columns?
2. If yes for 1, myy columns are generated dynamically with MVVM (Caliburn Micro), any sugestions to add the above
supports in code (for instance, add it in the grid columns)?

Thanks in advance.

How to set background color for all cells in a single column

I have a radgrid set up that displays two columns which are NOT auto generated. Using some of your other examples, I have found a way to color an entire row if the value of the text in a particular column is set to a certain status, using a custom converter class.

I am at a loss however as to how to apply this only to a single column or the cells in that column. In other words how do I change the background color for cells in a single column rather than the entire row or every cell for that matter? This seems like it should be relatively simple, but I have not come across any supporting documentation with a straightforward example.

Here is the XAML I have currently for the grid that sets the entire row color:

My grid.resources definition where I reference my custom class:

<Grid.Resources>

<local:StatusColorConverter x:Key="ColorConverter"></local:StatusColorConverter>

</Grid.Resources>

XAML For the RadGrid Itself:

<telerik:RadGridView Name="radGrid1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ShowGroupPanel="False" Margin="5,10,0,100" DataLoaded="radGrid1_DataLoaded" SelectionChanged="radGrid1_SelectionChanged" AutoGenerateColumns="False" IsFilteringAllowed="False" ItemsSource="{Binding}" EnableColumnVirtualization="False" CanUserResizeColumns="False">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding SerialNumber}" IsReadOnly="True" UniqueName="Name" ShowFilterButton="False" AllowDrop="False" FooterTextAlignment="Left" Width="Auto" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Status" DataMemberBinding="{Binding StatusDescription}" IsReadOnly="True" UniqueName="Status" ShowFilterButton="False" Width="Auto" />

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">

<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding Status,Converter={StaticResource ColorConverter}}"></Setter>

</Style>

</telerik:RadGridView.RowStyle>

</telerik:RadGridView>

Custom Color Converter Class:

public class StatusColorConverter: IValueConverter

{

public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

{

Status status = (Status)value;

SolidColorBrush color = null;

switch (status)

{

case Status.Status_A:

case Status.Status_B:

color = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);

break;

case Status.Status_C:

color = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

break;

default:

// No color by default.

color = new SolidColorBrush();

break;

}

return color;

}

Again this works well for coloring the entire row, but I require only the cells in a single column to change color.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Drag RadTileViewItem outside window

Can someone post an example of how to detect that a radtileviewitem has been dragged outside of window it is contained in?

I'm using the new DragDropManager and have already attached the events to the tileviewitem (draginitialize, dragleave, dragcompleted, etc.) but can't seem to figure out how to tell if the item is outside it's parent window from the args in the DragDropCompletedEventArgs eventargs. Dragleave seems to fire if the item has left the tileview container. I want to capture this if it has left it's parent window.

Many thanks..

Simple Sizing Problem

Hello,

I'm fairly new to WPF, so please excuse my ignorance. I'm trying to achieve two working areas for my program. On the left should be a pinned tab which can be pinned/unpinned as needed. The rest of the area should be taken up by a content area.

I've achieved this with the following code:

<telerik:RadDocking Grid.Row="1" HasDocumentHost="False" >

<telerik:RadSplitContainer telerik:RadDocking.DockState="DockedLeft" >

<telerik:RadPaneGroup Name="SourceGroup">

<telerik:RadPane Header="Sources" ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}" CanFloat="False" CanUserClose="False" IsPinned="True" />

</telerik:RadPaneGroup>

<telerik:RadPaneGroup >

<telerik:RadPane Header="Data" ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}" CanFloat="False" CanUserClose="False" IsPinned="True" CanUserPin="False" />

</telerik:RadPaneGroup>

</telerik:RadSplitContainer>

</telerik:RadDocking>

I want to keep the "Sources" pinnable pane to either a relative or absolute maximum size. The content seems to break when I resize the window. I've tried setting the MaxWidth on the RadPaneGroup and setting the HorizontalAlignment = "Left", but either way weird effects are produced. I've included pictures of the two behaviors. Thanks for any help you can give.
