Styling items in grouping and filtering lists

I have a grid with a DataColumn that has it's CellTemplate set to a DataTemplate that contains a ComboBox. The ComboBox has it's ItemsSource bound to a Collection in a view model. The collection contains simple integers.

The ComboBox's ItemTemplate contains an Image, with its Source bound to the item, using a Converter that returns a pack URI appropriate to the integer. The result is that cell contains a dropdown of images.

And all of that is working fine.

My problem is that if I group on the column, or apply a filter on the column, the grouping control and the filtering control provide a list of the values of the cells in the column, and the values it displays are the integers, not the images.

Seems to me that if I could get the grouping and filtering controls to apply the converter I am already using in the cell, I'd have what I'd like. But I don't know if that is possible.

Is it?

Why is the first row formatting differently?

I have recently implemented themes in my application. The application has two themes, Day & Night. The application changes themes by loading a ResourceDictionary that defines different colors for the same named SolidColorBrush DynamicResources.

Here is the xaml for the style I'm using for the rows in the all of the RadGridView controls in my application. This is in the app,xaml file:

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewRow">

<Setter Property="Background"

Value="{DynamicResource TextBackground}" />

<Setter Property="Foreground"

Value="{DynamicResource TextForeground}" />

</Style>

I think the first row is probably the row used to insert new rows into the Grid. Here's the XAML for one of my RadGridControls:

<telerik:RadGridView AutoExpandGroups="True"

AutoGenerateColumns="False"

Background="{DynamicResource DataBackground}"

CanUserDeleteRows="False"

CanUserFreezeColumns="False"

CanUserInsertRows="False"

CanUserResizeColumns="False"

CanUserSortColumns="True"

EnableColumnVirtualization="True"

EnableRowVirtualization="True"

FontSize="16"

FontWeight="Bold"

Foreground="{DynamicResource DataForeground}"

Grid.Column="1"

Grid.ColumnSpan="2"

Grid.Row="1"

IsReadOnly="True"

ItemsSource=

"{Binding Path=DataRetentionPolicies, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:AdvancedSettingEditor}}}"

Margin="5"

Name="DataPolicies"

SelectionUnit="FullRow"

ScrollMode="Deferred"

ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"

ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"

ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"

ShowGroupFooters="True"

TabIndex="8"

ToolTip="Data Maintenance Properties"

Visibility=

"{Binding Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibility}, Mode=TwoWay, Path=EnableRetention, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:AdvancedSettingEditor}}}"

>

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

. . .

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

As you can see, the control is read-only and it doesn't allow inserting, editing or deleting of rows.

In the Day theme, the rows in my RadGridView have black text on white backgrounds. In the Day theme, they're supposed to have yellow text on black backgrounds. And every row in the DataGridControl matches this color scheme exept the first, which still has a white background.

How do I get the first row's background to change with the other rows?

[Solved] RadMaskedDateTimeInput control not displaying value properly

I've got a RadMaskedDateTimeInput control in my application:

<telerik:RadMaskedDateTimeInput BorderBrush="{Binding Path=BorderBrush, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

FlowDirection="{Binding Path=FlowDirection, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

Focusable="True"

FontFamily="{Binding Path=FontFamily, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

FontSize="{Binding Path=FontSize, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

FontStretch="{Binding Path=FontStretch, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

FontStyle="{Binding Path=FontStyle, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

FontWeight="{Binding Path=FontWeight, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

GotFocus="ValueBox_GotFocus"

Grid.Column="0"

FormatString="{Binding Path=Mask, Mode=OneWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"

HorizontalContentAlignment="Right"

InputBehavior="Insert"

IsClearButtonVisible="False"

LostFocus="ValueBox_LostFocus"

Margin="5"

Mask="{Binding Path=Mask, Mode=OneWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

Name="ValueBox"

SelectionOnFocus="CaretToEnd"

SpinMode="PositionAndValue"

TabIndex="{Binding Path=TabIndex, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}}"

TextMode="MaskedText"

UpdateValueEvent="PropertyChanged"

Value=

"{Binding Converter={StaticResource TimeSpanConverter}, Path=Value, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type cs:TimeSpanSpinner}}, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"

VerticalAlignment="Center" />

This is actually inside of a UserControl. That user control is then used in another UserControl that is used to edit user settings. The first UserControl is supposed to provide spinner functionality for specifying a time out interval on a touch screen computer. There are two big buttons next to the RadMaskedDateTimeInput control, one for increasing the value and one for decreasing it. Since the value is a time out, the data type of the variable being edited is TimeSpan, and I want to see the text formatted as HH:mm:ss.fff. That's what the Mask property is set to, and the FormatString is set to that, too.

The control displays correctly until I put the cursor in it. At that point, the HH:mm:ss.fff formatting goes away and I see 01/01/0001. This is useless. This did work properly at one time, but now it's broken and I don't know why. Why is the control ignoring the input mask???

I'm using the 2012 Q1 version of the library.

Fading out items

I've managed to get a RadTileViewItem to fade in when it's added to the TileView. That was easy of course, as the item exists, and I can just set it's opacity to 0 and move it up.

However, I also want to get an item to fade out. But, when the item is removed from the underlying collection, the RadTileViewItem is of course immediately removed, and so it's gone.

How can I accomplish this?

Scroll Issue

Hello. If I set the Width property of the RadRibbonGroup, the scrolling does not go all the way over. See attached screenshots. If I remove the Width property, the scrolling works fine. I set the width because I place different controls in the group and the sizing isn't correct unless I set the size. Is there any way to get this to work?

<

telerik:RadRibbonGroup Header="Test2" Width="300">

Thanks

Is there a way to say to the TreeListView not to unload rows when the parent node is collapsed?

I have already set EnableColumnVirtualization="False" and EnableRowVirtualization="False"

The same question when pager is used.

Thanks,

Server side filtering with VirtualQueryableCollectionView

I got VirtualQueryableCollectionView working with RadComboBox when VirtualizingStackPanel is used.

However, when filtering is enabled, the ComboBox would load all the items (batched in LoadSize) from the VirtualQueryableCollectionView before displaying the dropdown. Am I missing something here?

The combobox Xaml:

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

SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem}"

DisplayMemberPath="Name"

IsFilteringEnabled="True"

TextSearchMode="Contains"

ClearSelectionButtonVisibility="Visible"

ClearSelectionButtonContent="Remove">

<telerik:RadComboBox.ItemsPanel>

<ItemsPanelTemplate>

<VirtualizingStackPanel/>

</ItemsPanelTemplate>

</telerik:RadComboBox.ItemsPanel>

</telerik:RadComboBox>

Support for VirtualQueryableCollectionView

Is it possible to add support for VirtualQueryableCollectionView?

In the software that I am working on, the data source contains hundreds of thousands records via WCF data service (OData), and it would take forever to load if the list had to be populated fully before AutoCompleteBox can search.
