Hello,

How can I show a specific text string when a RadListBox instance is empty?

I tried defining a style to accomplish this goal, like this:

<Style TargetType="telerik:RadListBox" x:Key="ListStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type telerik:RadListBox}}">

<Style.Triggers>

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=Items.Count}" Value="0">

<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>

<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top"/>

<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0, 20, 0, 0"/>

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate>

<TextBlock Foreground="DimGray" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="14">

There are currently no items to show.

</TextBlock>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</DataTrigger>

</Style.Triggers>

</Style>

I then attach it to the RadListBox instance:

<telerik:RadListBox Style="{StaticResource ListStyle}">

// items here

</telerik:RadListBox>

This actually works, for the most part... but it has a fatal flaw - the RadListBox scrollbars are no longer correctly themed.

Is there another way of accomplishing this goal? Or could I get some help in tweaking the style above so that the vertical scrollbar has the correct "Windows7" theme applied to it?

Categorical Chart - Custom X-Axis Label

Hi,

I made a categorical chart with a bar series definition and a line series definition. The x-axis label always seems to be the category name. How can I change it to something else? I have a custom class with various properties such as XValue, YValue, XCategory and Label. I have tried a few different things as suggested in other posts on the forum, but they don't seem to work and the item on the x-axis is always labelled according to the category.

I have tried setting the item label format in the series mapping (I tried #LABEL and "#DATAITEM.Label") and I have added the item mappings as well, but it still shows the XCategory instead of the label.

var seriesDefinition = new BarSeriesDefinition
{
ShowItemLabels = false,
ShowItemToolTips = true,
ItemToolTipFormat = "#DATAITEM.Label",
ItemLabelFormat = "#DATAITEM.Label",
EmptyPointBehavior = emptyPointBehavior
};

seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping("XValue", DataPointMember.XValue));
seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping("YValue", DataPointMember.YValue));
seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping("XCategory", DataPointMember.XCategory));
seriesMapping.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping("Label", DataPointMember.Label));

I have also tried the following:

chart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.DefaultLabelFormat = "#DATAITEM.Label"; and chart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.DefaultLabelFormat = "#LABEL";

Any help would be appreciated.

[Solved] Creating LineSeries programmatically with custom TrackBallInfoTemplate

I am trying to change the track ball info, but I cannot figure out the right combination to get the data to come out the way I need it to come out. I want to show an identifier for a line series in much the same way that the ChartView demo does, but in that demo, the series and format strings are encoded into the XAML. In my app, there can be any number of line series, so they need to be created programmatically.

Here is the class that holds the data:

public class SalesInfo

{

public string Employee { get; set; }

public DateTime Time { get; set; }

public int Value { get; set; }

}

And here is where I am creating the data and setting the item source of my line series:

data = new RadObservableCollection<SalesInfo>(data.OrderBy(x => x.Time));

Color dataColor = colorArray[loopCounter % 4];

LineSeries line = new LineSeries();

line.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(dataColor);

line.StrokeThickness = 2;

line.CategoryBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding() { PropertyName = "Time" };

line.ValueBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding() { PropertyName = "Value" };

line.ItemsSource = data;

var tbiTemplate = this.Resources["theTemplate"] as DataTemplate;

line.TrackBallInfoTemplate = tbiTemplate;

activitiesAddedChart.Series.Add(line);

And finally the template in the resources:

<DataTemplate x:Key="theTemplate">

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding DataPoint.SalesInfo.Employee}" />

<TextBlock Text=": " />

<TextBlock Text="{Binding DataPoint.Value}" />

</StackPanel>

</DataTemplate>

I cannot figure out how to get this bound correctly so that I can see the Employee name in the track ball info. I get the Value fine, and if I use DataPoint.Category, I can get the date, but I just cannot figure out how to get the Employee to show up in that first TextBlock in the template. Thanks.

KeyTipService - wrong position

Hi,
I use 2 screens and when I implement keytips they don't appear in the right position related to my application.
(I open up my application on my right screen, the "main display screen", but when I trigger the keytips they appear on my left screen...!)

Are there any settings I have to apply to "connect" the keytips to my application in any way...so that they always appear "in the right position" related to my app?

I've enabled keytips in my xaml and in the code-behind file I do this:
var keyGesture = new KeyGesture(Key.LeftAlt);
ribbon.SetValue(KeyTipService.AccessKeyProperty, keyGesture);

Bind class to RadGridView

Hi,

I am having trouble binding a class with 2 members to a RadGridView. The first member contains a dictionary to set the column header text and the second to fill the grid.

here is my sample project

cs

public Content()

{

// Get the labels from database

ContextSource.Labels = DictionaryFromDatabase();

// Get grid data from database

ContextSource.DataSrc = DataTableFromDatabase();

Listing.DataContext = ContextSource;

}

public class ContextSource

{

public DataTable DataSrc { get; set; }

public Dictionary<string, string> Labels { get; set; }

public ContextSource()

{

DataSrc = new DataTable();

Labels = new Dictionary<string, string>;

}

xaml

<telerik:RadGridView Margin="0"

AreRowDetailsFrozen="True"

AutoGenerateColumns="False"

CanUserFreezeColumns="False"

IsReadOnly="True"

ItemsSource="{Binding}"

SelectionMode="Single"

ShowInsertRow="False"

x:Name="Listing">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="{Binding Labels.[str_label0]}" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=DataSrc.[columnname0]}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="{Binding Labels.[str_label1]}" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=DataSrc.[columnname1]}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="{Binding Labels.[str_label2]}" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=DataSrc.[columnname2]}"/>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

When I set Listing.DataContext = ContextSource, it will only fill the header text property. The grid is not populated.

If I direct the Listing.DataContent directly to ContextSource.DataSrc then the grid is populated, but the headers are not set.

Listing.DataContext = ContextSource.DataSrc;

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Kind regards,
Dennis

Multilevel list doesn't work correctly

Hi,

I use the last (Q3 2012) version of WPF controls. And I noticed that it can't get multilevel list (1.-1.1-1.1.1. for example) as it would be expected. The indent buttons behavior also doesn't work properly.

I would appreciate your advice or comments.

TabStripPlacement along side vertical align

Hi There,

I'm finding myself a bit stumped as to how to set the position of the tabs on the tab control if the placement is set to go along the left or right as per the attached image.

what it does right now is place the tabs from the bottom going up, but i would prefer to have them go from the top down...

is there a way to set this??

Thanks,
Nemanja

MergeField, CustomField update problem.

Hi,

The scenerio we are working on:

User A opens a template (docx) with RadRichTextBox.
Template has two MergeFields, "Subject" and "Signed".
User A updates the document and "Subject" MergeField is set to "User A's Subject".
Then User A saves the document as Docx and sends it to User B.
User B signs the document and "Signed" MergeField should be set to "Yes", but "Subject" MergeField shouldn't be updated.

The problem is, when User B opens the document, application does not have the User A's MergeFieldSource. So when application merge fields, it updates both "Subject" and "Signed" MergeFields.

I've tried couple of solutions, one with RadRichTextBox.MergeFieldToStringConverting event and one with inheriting MergeField.

In RadRichTextBox.MergeFieldToStringConverting solution, MergeFieldToStringConvertingEventArgs doesn't have the old/original value (before merging). If it was, I could pass the old value to the "Subject" MergeField when User B updates the document.

In CustomField implementation, I could have find a solution, if there were a functionality like; when protected override DocumentFragment GetResultFragment() method returns null, corresponding MergeField does not updates it's own value. But there is no such a functionality.

One another solution could be, enumerating the MergeFields in the document and update only the required ones. (This is possible in Office Word API). But I couldn't find a way to achieve the is with RadRichTextBox.

I've added a sample solution demonstrating the scenerio. (Using Telerik version 2012.3.1017.45)

Regards.
