AlternationCount causes columns to shrink

Hi,

It seems that the RadGridViews AlternationCount causes the columns to shrink. This only happens when the RadGridView is nested within a collapsed expander and a scrollviewer.

<ScrollViewer>

<Expander IsExpanded="False">

<telerik:RadGridView AutoGenerateColumns="False"

ColumnWidth="*"

AlternationCount="2"

ItemsSource="{Binding Products}" />

</telerik:RadGridView>

</Expander>

</ScrollViewer>

When I remove the AlternationCount property or set IsEpanded property on the expander to true - it seems to solve the issue.

I am using the latest version of WPF assemblies .net 4.0.

Regards
Eugene

LookupPropertyDefinition with data template

Hi
I have successfully displayed a single property using a LookupPropertyDefinition. The drop down is positioned to the value corresponding the the PropertyGrid value as expected and the other available values are visible when the dropdown arrow is pressed. Here's an example of the XAML:

<telerik:LookupPropertyDefinition x:Name="ccLookupDef"

DisplayName="Lookup Code" Binding="{Binding MyPropCode}"

SelectedValuePath="Code" ItemsSource="{Binding Data.MyCodes, Source={StaticResource proxy}}"

DisplayMemberPath="Description">

</telerik:LookupPropertyDefinition>

I'd would like to apply a data template to the content of the dropdown so I can display formatted content from multiple lookup properties.
I've tried using the EditorTemplate but it fixes the lookup data and no dropdown button is displayed.

Here's the code:

<telerik:LookupPropertyDefinition x:Name="ccLookupDef"

DisplayName="Lookup Code"

SelectedValuePath="Code" ItemsSource="{Binding Data.ChargeCodes, Source={StaticResource proxy}}">

<telerik:LookupPropertyDefinition.EditorTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Grid Margin="0 3">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition />

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding MyPropCode}" />

<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Margin="26,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Description}" />

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

</telerik:LookupPropertyDefinition.EditorTemplate>

</telerik:LookupPropertyDefinition>

Is it possible to use a data template with LookupPropertyDefinition?
What have I done wrong here?

Regards
Craig

Need to delay the property change

Hi,
I have a project where each change to a property is triggering a complex data calculation to get some metrics in a dashboard. Right now the users like the Numeric up down but times they execute it too fast triggering the calculation a lot of times. I was wondering if there is a way to apply the value changed after a number of sequential clicks. Before going to custom fixes I was wondering if there is way to delay the update when the button is pressed quickly.
Thanks.

Severe Performance Problem When Changing Zoom Levels?

Hello everyone,

I'm having some trouble with the WPF Map Control. On my application I'm generating about 2636 polygons (triangles) and attaching them to the Information Layer.

Each MapPolygon is being created like so:

var polygon=New MapPolygon

{

Fill = currentStyle.FillColor,

Stroke = currentStyle.Stroke,

StrokeThickness = currentStyle.Thickness,

Opacity = currentStyle.Opacity,

Points = new LocationCollection()

{

new Location(point.Y1, point.X1),

new Location(point.Y2, point.X2),

new Location(point.Y3, point.X3)

}

};

This operation works fine and my triangles are properly generated on the map. Pan operations are fluid and without trouble, but zooming operations (in and out) raise severe performance issues, from enourmous memory/processor consumption to a sort of "delay" between the time that I issue the zoom order and the time the order gets carried out by the map.

This problem only occurs with >1000 polygons on the map, regardless of type (rectangles, triangles, etc.).

So, I would like your help on this. First I must ask if there is any known performance limitation/cap related with this matter (gernerating polygons on the map)? If not, can you tell me what might be the cause for this trouble?
And secondly, what avaible workarounds are there that won't imply using a dynamic layer over the map to manage the objects?

Thanks in advance for the help and for the time taken with this matter!

Scheduleview resource error

I am trying a simple example of using resource groups as per "Programming Telerik ScheduleVIew for WPF/Silverlight (part 1) with simple mods.
I get the following error on the lines that define the groups as below:

Error 1 Only public or internal classes can be used within markup. 'Resource' type is not public or internal.

<telerik:RadScheduleView.GroupDescriptionsSource>

<telerik:GroupDescriptionCollection>

<telerik:ResourceGroupDescription ResourceType="Activity"/>

</telerik:GroupDescriptionCollection>

</telerik:RadScheduleView.GroupDescriptionsSource>

<telerik:RadScheduleView.ResourceTypesSource>

<telerik:ResourceTypeCollection>

<telerik:ResourceType Name="Activity"> (ERROR IS HERE)

<telerik:Resource ResourceName="Morning Meds" />

<telerik:Resource ResourceName="Evening Meds" />

</telerik:ResourceType>

</telerik:ResourceTypeCollection>

</telerik:RadScheduleView.ResourceTypesSource

>





The control worked until I inserted the group code above.

Export to Excel in Q3 2012

Export from RadGridView til Excel is still a bit strange:

I used the Telerik Wpf example "Word, Excel, CSV Export.

1. I choose "Excel" and I save te file as ExcelTest.xls
- I get a warning about the format when opening the file in Excel
- Most of the data is changed to text/string.
2. I choose "Excel" and I save te file as ExcelTest.xml
- I get a warning about the format when opening the file in Excel
- Most of the data is changed to text/string.
3. I choose "ExcelML" and I save te file as ExcelTest.xml
- All the data is changed to text/string.

What I expected is:
- No warning from Excel about the format.
- Numbers stay numbers, dates stay dates, money stays money... and so on.

What am I doing wrong?

No Insert Adorner for ListBoxDragDropBehavior?

I don't see any insert adorner support in ListBoxDragDropBehavior. (or at least it is not something can be done as simple as ScreenshotDragVisualProvider). Being able to tell where to drop visually is extremely important to our application. If someone shed some light on this area I will be appreciated.
