I have an assembly that can either run as a stand-alone executable or being hosted in a browser as xbap. The application opens a new RadRibbonWindow which contains a RadRibbonView.

This works fine when the assembly runs stand-alone. However, when the assembly runs as xbap, the RadRibbonWindow overlaps all window buttons (close/minimize/maximize). Is there a solution to this other than hosting the RadRibbonView in a standard WPF-window instead of RadRibbonWindow?

Regards,
Michael

Persist settings for multiple GridViews in one file

I have an app with quite a few different GridViews all of which need to have their settings persisted. Currently, I am creating a file for each GridView to persist the settings between sessions. Is there a way to consolidate this so that more than one gridview can share a settings file? Here is the current code I have for doing persistence:

/// <summary>

/// Interaction logic for BillingActivityView.xaml

/// </summary>

public partial class BillingActivityView

{

private static readonly string _appDataPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);

private static readonly string _bambooSettingsPath = Path.Combine(_appDataPath, @"Bamboo\Settings");

private static readonly string _testsGridSettingsFilePath = Path.Combine(_bambooSettingsPath, @"TestsGridSettings.bin");

private static readonly string _oldBillClassesGridSettingsFilePath = Path.Combine(_bambooSettingsPath, @"OldBillClassesGridSettings.bin");

private static readonly string _insuranceStatusGridSettingsFilePath = Path.Combine(_bambooSettingsPath, @"InsuranceStatusGridSettings.bin");

/// <summary>

/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="DocumentImageView"/> class.

/// </summary>

public BillingActivityView()

{

InitializeComponent();

ServiceProvider.RegisterPersistenceProvider<ICustomPropertyProvider>(typeof(RadGridView), new GridViewCustomPropertyProvider());

}

private void TestsGridView_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

LoadGridSettings(TestsGridView, _testsGridSettingsFilePath);

}

private void OldBillClassesGridView_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

LoadGridSettings(OldBillClassesGridView, _oldBillClassesGridSettingsFilePath);

}

private void InsuranceStatusGridView_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

LoadGridSettings(InsuranceStatusGridView, _insuranceStatusGridSettingsFilePath);

}

public void LoadGridSettings(RadGridView gridView, string settingsPath)

{

var manager = new PersistenceManager();

if (!Directory.Exists(_bambooSettingsPath))

{

Directory.CreateDirectory(_bambooSettingsPath);

}

// Load settings if there is something to load

if (File.Exists(settingsPath))

{

try

{

var fileStream = File.OpenRead(settingsPath);

manager.Load(gridView, fileStream);

fileStream.Close();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message, "BILLINGACTIVITYVIEW");

}

public void PersistAllGridSettings()

{

PersistGridSettings(TestsGridView, _testsGridSettingsFilePath);

PersistGridSettings(OldBillClassesGridView, _oldBillClassesGridSettingsFilePath);

PersistGridSettings(InsuranceStatusGridView, _insuranceStatusGridSettingsFilePath);

}

public void PersistGridSettings(RadGridView gridView, string settingsPath)

{

var manager = new PersistenceManager();

var stream = manager.Save(gridView);

using (var fileStream = File.Create(settingsPath))

{

stream.CopyTo(fileStream);

}

Header Text dissapears when Style changes in code

Hello, I have a RadTileView where I want to change the header background color when the tile gets minimized.
When I apply the new style the header text disappears, this doesn't happen when the new style is the same as the old one

(I know this example only works when all items are minimized, not when you maximize another item, but this is just for test purposes)

C#:

private void RadTileViewItem_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

{

RadTileViewItem item = (sender as RadTileViewItem);

if (item.TileState == TileViewItemState.Maximized)

{

item.TileState = TileViewItemState.Minimized;

item.HeaderStyle = (Style)FindResource("TileViewItemHeaderStyle4");

}

else

{

item.TileState = TileViewItemState.Maximized;

}

XAML:

<UserControl xmlns:my="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1" x:Class="WpfApplication1.NodeView"

IOException was thrown on "RadNumericUpDown"

Using 2012.2.607.40 I receive an exception, "Cannot locate resource 'themes/genericmetrotouch.xaml'", in the VS 2010 Xaml designer when a RadNumericUpDown control is included in the form. I've included a screenshot of the exception. There is no exception when running the app, or if I display the form in Blend.
Thanks,
Steve

Floating Rad Pane To Dock

Hi,

I have read an article where the when we use the rad pane to float. It uses FloatingOnly. Is there a way to override this menu to use the method MakeFloatingDockable instead of MakeFloatingOnly

Also how would you re-dock a floating window from code.

Custom theme for RadTimeline

I'm trying to make a custom theme for the RadTimeline.

Im my custom theme, I want to wrap a ScrollViewer around the Timeline's TimelineItemContainer just like described in this post: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/timeline/vertical-scrollbar-scrollviewer-and-radtimeline.aspx
and I want to remove the horizontal scrollbar of the control (the RadSlider at the bottom).

I've tried to create a custom theme using the approach described here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/common-styling-apperance-themes-custom-theme-project-telerik-approach.html
(albeit the documentation is for Silverlight, couldn't find anything similar for WPF)
and I've also had a look at the sample project here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/general-discussions/how-can-i-create-a-custom-theme-for-wpf-application.aspx

I couldn't manage to get the theme working.
I'm not sure if I made everything right in the theme project - especially the following things in the XAML of my custom theme:

<my:MyTheme x:Key="Theme" />
The many references to ThemeType=telerik:Office_BlackTheme
content of Generic.xaml
declaration of MyTheme class

Basically, I've just copied the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for WPF Q1 2012 SP1\Themes\WPF40\Windows7\Themes\Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.xaml which contains the style for RadTimeline to my CustomTheme project and modified the style there. I'm not quite sure, if that was correct, or what I've done wrong.

Actually, it doesn't have to be a whole custom theme, I just want to change the style of RadTimeline like described above. So, my first try was to edit the style using Expression Blend. I selected the RadTimeline and chose: Edit Template --> Edit a Copy. This alone shouldn't change the style at all, shouldn't it? But instead, the whole control is white/transparent - please see the attached files before_edit_template.png and after_edit_template.png. I expect it to look exactly the same as before calling Edit Template --> Edit a Copy. Why isn't it?

Here (http://johannes.unterguggenberger.info/TimelineCustomTheme.zip) is a Solution which contains 2 Projects: A custom theme project and a project which uses the custom theme (at least tries to) to change the style of a RadTimeline. Maybe someone could have a look at it and maybe tell me, what's the problem, or point me in a direction.

Thanks in advance!
