RadGridview paste adds blank rows

Have a RadGridview that allows multiple selections. Currently only allowing rows.

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="gvMrsUserSettings"

Background="Black"

FontFamily="Arial"

Foreground="White"

FontSize="11"

GroupRenderMode="Flat"

ItemsSource="{Binding MrsUserDataTable}"

SelectionMode="Extended"

AutoGenerateColumns="True"

Margin="0,0,0,0"

Grid.Row="1"

ActionOnLostFocus="None"

CanUserFreezeColumns="False"

RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed"

ShowGroupPanel="False"

IsFilteringAllowed="True"

ShowSearchPanel="True"

SearchPanelCloseButtonVisibility="Collapsed"

IsReadOnly="True"

CanUserReorderColumns="False"

CanUserDeleteRows="False"

CanUserInsertRows="False"

CanUserGroupColumns="False"

CanUserSearch="False"

CanUserSortGroups="False"

EnableColumnGroupsVirtualization="False"

ClipboardCopyMode="All,Header"

ClipboardPasteMode="Cells,AllSelectedRows"

IsBusy="False"

>

If you select row 1, 4, 6 - 10 and 20, do a Ctrl+C then a Ctrl+V in a text file or excel all the rows between the numbers are blank.

Not sure what feature needs to be included in the XAML to prevent this behavior. Or what must be done short of modifying the collection in the clipboard.

sample of result is:

GROUP

UTI-KELLER

CLK_FINANCE

EMS_FIRE

CEL

COURT_ADMIN

RadTimeBar with Non-Gregorian Calendar

Does the RadTimeBar support when Windows has a non-Gregorian calendar set? Specifically this one: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.umalquracalendar?view=net-5.0. I get an exception that says this when I change my Windows settings to get that calendar:

Exception Stack Trace: System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Specified time is not supported in this calendar. It should be between 04/30/1900 00:00:00 (Gregorian date) and 11/16/2077 23:59:59 (Gregorian date), inclusive.

I can reproduce it with XAML as simple as this:

		<telerik:RadTimeBar x:Name="TimeBar"
                            PeriodStart="1-Jan-2019 12:00:00 AM"
                            PeriodEnd="31-Dec-2019 11:59:59 PM"
                            VisiblePeriodStart="14-March-2019 12:00:00 AM"
                            VisiblePeriodEnd="11-Nov-2019 11:59:59 PM">
			<telerik:RadTimeBar.Intervals>
				<telerik:YearInterval />
				<telerik:MonthInterval />
				<telerik:WeekInterval />
				<telerik:DayInterval />
			</telerik:RadTimeBar.Intervals>
		</telerik:RadTimeBar>

Is Telerik ViewModelBase's PropertyChanged extensible?

Hello

I am using it by making a ViewModelBase class by default.

I looked at Telerik's ViewModelBase class documentation and this is not what I'm looking for.
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/common-information/mvvm-helpers/common-viewmodelbase-class

I prefer to display getter setters on one line.

using Telerik.Windows.Controls;
private object item;
public object Item 
{ 
        get => item;
        set 
        { 
                item= value; 
                RaisePropertyChanged(); 
        } 
}

// Create ViewModelBase helper method
protected virtual bool SetField<T>( ref T member, T newValue, [CallerMemberName] string propertyName) ... ... 

private object item;
public object Item
{
    get => item;
    set  => SetField(ref item, value);
}

I want to keep it simple. Do you have any plans to improve this?
Or I would like to ask if it is possible to create a similar one and use it while using the Telerik ViewModelBase Class.

If that doesn't work, I'll continue to create and use my ViewModelClass.

Thanks.

RadGlyph The resource has an incompatible type.

So, this isn't something that comes up everywhere in my project but seems similar to https://www.telerik.com/forums/pathbutton-pathgeometry-error-glyph-has-an-incompatible-type but also different. In all of the following cases, I get the error `The resource "<glyphname>" has an incompatible type.` at design-time as well as not seeing the glyph in the XAML Designer:

<TextBlock FontFamily="{StaticResource TelerikWebUI}" Text="{StaticResource GlyphArrowUpward}" />

<Grid Width="16" Height="16">
	<Path Fill="Black" Data="{telerik:RadGlyph Glyph={StaticResource GlyphArrowUpward},Type=Path}" />
</Grid>

<Image Width="16" Height="16" Source="{telerik:RadGlyph Glyph={StaticResource GlyphArrowUpward}}" />

<telerik:RadGlyph Glyph="{StaticResource GlyphArrowUpward}" />

I have attempted all 4 of the above within the content of a WPF Button as well as a Telerik RadButton.

Strangely, I am able to use the last one as the content of RadFilePathPicker.ShowDialogButtonContent and don't get any errors and see the glyph just fine in the XAML Designer.

I have the proper resource dictionary within my App.xaml inside the ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries portion of it. I assume I wouldn't be getting the glyphs otherwise. I am using Visual Studio 2019 16.11.1 and I use Telerik UI for WPF via Telerik's NuGet packages, currently on 2021.1.325 (I cannot update past that), but I was having this issue with earlier versions as well. I also attempted to follow the directions in the help article linked in the above forum question. The problem persists even after all of that.

I don't necessarily need this fixed, it is more of an annoyance than a showstopper. But if there is some solution to this, that would be nice.

Navigation View - Highlight of selected item when using subitems

Hello

I have a question regarding highlighting of selected item in navigation view. I noted a behavior in context of subitems where I'm not sure if it behaves like designed or if it is a bug. With term "highlight" I mean the small colored block that appears at the selected item.

For demonstration I used from WPF Demos the "Sub Items" example. Attached there is a Windows steps recorder session (can be opened with e.g. Internet Explorer) that contains screenshots from every click and I can refer to the step numbers.

I can observe the behavior when navigation view is collapsed (shows only icons).

Short:

After a subitem was selected the highlight is not shown anymore when selecting the corresponing (main)item.

Long:

First I switch between different items with and without subitems. Everything is like expected, the selected item shows the highlight (Step 1 - Step 12).

Then I select a subitem. Still, highlight is shown at (main)item (Step 13- Step 14).

Next I click on another item that still behaves fine (Step 15)

Now, when I click again on the (main)item, where I selected the subitem before, the highlight is not shown anymore (Step 16)

I can click on the item several times. Just the subitems (dis)appear but no highlight (Step 17 - 19)

Only when I select a subitem the highlight appears (Step 20 - Step 21)

Again, click on (main)item, it is selected but no highlight (Step 22 - Step 24)

Is this behavior intended? If so, can someone explain me the idea behind it. For me it feels strange at the moment.

Thanks and regards

Philipp

Gridview command binding not working for cell template

Hi

I am using wpf grid view as shown below.

 <telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding ExistingFilesCollection}" CanUserDeleteRows="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" CanUserGroupColumns="False" CanUserInsertRows="False" CanUserReorderColumns="False" CanUserSearch="False" ShowGroupPanel="False" IsFilteringAllowed="False" 
                             AutoGenerateColumns="False" SelectionMode="Extended"   Margin="0,10,0,0" GridLinesVisibility="Both" RowIndicatorVisibility="Collapsed">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Selected, Mode=TwoWay}"  IsSortable="False">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                        <StackPanel>
                            <CheckBox  IsChecked="{Binding DataContext.SelectAll, ElementName=ExistingFilePopUpRoot,Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
                        </StackPanel>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <CheckBox  IsChecked="{Binding Selected, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Grid},AncestorLevel=4}, Path=DataContext.CheckBoxEvent}" CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Grid},AncestorLevel=4}, Path=DataContext}"   />
                            
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
				  </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        </telerik:RadGridView>

I don't want to use GridviewCheckboxcolumn or select column since it doesn't fit my requirement.

Now the issue is when I do databinding based on element name it fails but as shown above based on ancestor level it works.

Is there a way I can do command binding based on elementname?

RadGrid row does not update after CommitEdit

I'm using the 3 lines below to try to update the CurrentItem on the grid.
The code runs but the grid does not update (shows same text on all columns in current row as before)

StaffGridView.Items.EditItem(this.StaffGridView.CurrentItem);
this.StaffGridView.CurrentItem = updatedObject;
StaffGridView.Items.CommitEdit();

in the xaml

ItemsSource="{Binding StaffList, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
CurrentItem="{Binding CurrentStaff, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"

Is something else needed in the xaml or the code to tell the Grid to update with the change to CurrentItem?

[A]Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadWatermarkTextBox cannot be cast to [B]Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadWatermarkTextBox

I recently updated Telerik for WPF to the latest version. Since then I have following problem:

When I work with the designer I get this error:

[A]Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadWatermarkTextBox cannot be cast to [B]Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadWatermarkTextBox. Type A originates from 'Telerik.Windows.Controls, Version=2021.2.615.45, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...' in the context 'LoadFrom' at location 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for WPF R2 2021\Binaries\WPF45\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll'. Type B originates from 'Telerik.Windows.Controls, Version=2021.2.615.45, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=....' in the context 'LoadNeither' at location 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_589b9641\Designer\ShadowCache\sc041jsc.3tf\nxls5byu.o3i\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll'.

This only occurs on UserControls I want to insert somewhere. So I can use the RadWatermarkTextBox normally. But if it's in a UserControl this error is thrown.

How can I resolve this errror?

radChat issue with selecting current author for multiple chat boxes

I am creating a little chat demo, by having two chat boxes next to each other (they communicate to each other). My issue is, when I load older messages from the database, I could not properly set a different "current author" for each chat box while maintaining MVVM structure (what I need is: in chatbox 1 user1 is the currentAuthor, in chatbox 2 user 2 is the currnetAuthor)

I am following an MVVM pattern. Code snippets are provided below (I tried to remove all lines irrelevant to the question):

1- my chat boxes

<telerik:RadChat x:Name="chat1" 
			 Width="400"
			 Height="550"
                         DataSource="{Binding Chat1Messages}"
                         CurrentAuthor="{Binding Chat1CurrentAuthor}">
</telerik:RadChat>

 <telerik:RadChat x:Name="chat2" 
			 Width="400"
			 Height="550"
                         DataSource="{Binding Chat2Messages}"
                         CurrentAuthor="{Binding Chat2CurrentAuthor}">

</telerik:RadChat>

2- My code in adding the messages from DB:

//some code to get data from DB//


this.chat1CurrentAuthor = this.FirstAuthor;
this.chat2CurrentAuthor = this.SecondAuthor;

//Iterator over data from DB
{
     //if message is written by first author:
     {
          this.Chat1Messages.Add(new TextMessageObject() { Text = row.MessageText, MsgAuthor = this.FirstAuthor, CreationDate = row.Time });
          this.Chat2Messages.Add(new TextMessageObject() { Text = row.MessageText, MsgAuthor = this.FirstAuthor, CreationDate = row.Time });
     }
     //if message is written by second author:
     {
          this.Chat1Messages.Add(new TextMessageObject() { Text = row.MessageText, MsgAuthor = this.SecondAuthor, CreationDate = row.Time });
          this.Chat2Messages.Add(new TextMessageObject() { Text = row.MessageText, MsgAuthor = this.SecondAuthor, CreationDate = row.Time });
     }
}

3- code to support MVVM:

public Author Chat1CurrentAuthor
{
            get { return this.chat1CurrentAuthor; }
            set
            {
                if (value != this.chat1CurrentAuthor)
                {
                    this.chat1CurrentAuthor = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged(() => this.chat1CurrentAuthor);
                }
            }
}
public Author Chat2CurrentAuthor
{
            get { return this.chat2CurrentAuthor; }
            set
            {
                if (value != this.chat2CurrentAuthor)
                {
                    this.chat2CurrentAuthor = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged(() => this.chat2CurrentAuthor);
                }
            }
}

With my current code, both authors are set up as current authors in both chatboxes (i.e in chatbox1, currentAuthor is both user1 and user2, in chatbox2 currentAuthor is both user1 and user2) which is not the desired behavior.
