I have a context menu as shared resource.
<Window>
<Window.Resources>


<Navigation:RadContextMenu x:Key="ViewMenu" x:Shared="true"
Model:ContextMenuExtensions.NotifyOnMenuOpen="True"
ItemClick="MenuViewItemClick">
<Navigation:RadMenuItem/>
</Navigation:RadContextMenu >
<Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Dock:RadPane>
<Grid Navigation:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu="{StaticResource ViewMenu}">
<Border>
<RadGridView/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</Dock:RadPane>
<Dock:RadPane>
<Grid Navigation:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu="{StaticResource ViewMenu}">
</Grid>
</Dock:RadPane>

And a floating radpane
The RadGridView has RowDetailsTemplate defined.

Depending on where the mouse is click the contextmenu is shown, and I use the contextmenu.GetClickedElement method.

If I rightclick on the radgridview without opening the floating pane the GetClickedElement is correct. But if I open the floating pane and then rightclick on the radgridview the GetClickedItem is not returned corectly. The Floating Pane is returned even though I clicked on radgridview details.
What could be a possible issue with this?

RadTickBar resize behavior

Version: Q1 2012 .NET4

Having updated from the Q3 2010, we noticed a problem in the resize behavior of the RadTickBar, when the RadSlider is provided with a TickDataTemplate which renders textual information for each tick. While resizing the slider to a smaller size, there seems to be a point of the process after which the RadTickBar cannot keep up. From that point on, the outer ticks of the slider start to get clipped out, even though the distance between the ticks appears to be enough to fit them all. On top of that, the position of each tick at that point
miss-matches the corresponding position of the thumb of the slider (thus proving that the slider it self has resized successfully, while the tick-bar has not).

We have tried to set a MinWidth for the RadTickBar through the TickBarStyle property, however that causes an InvalidOperationException. Perhaps that is something you could check as well.

The following is the sample code which reproduces this behavior. To do so, just execute it and try to gradually resize the window to a smaller size. Plus, as far as the second issue (regarding the RadTickBar MinWidth) is concerned, try uncommenting the corresponding XAML code, and executing the project.

Yours faithfully,

compare two GridView

Hi,

is there any easy way to compare to RadGridViews? Ihave two GridViews with the same ViewModel. GridViewA is the source
and GridViewB ist the target.
On Application Load i bind first the RadGrievB with Data from a Database. Afterwards i want to bind GridViewA from a second source.
But All the Items which are in GridViewA may not be in GridViewA. I hope this is clear!?

Is there a easy way to handle it? Or must i select each item from database to check if it is in the GridViewB?

GridViewA:
Source = txt-file
ViewModel=Pakete

GRidViewB:
Source=Database (original source txt-file)
Viewmodel=Pakete

Thanks a lot
Regards
Rene

Problem with" Click here to add new row"

Hello,

I am trying to add a new row to my RagGridView where I host a GridViewComboBoxColumn and a GridViewDataColumn like:
<Grid>
<telerik:RadGridView>
     <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>
        </telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
        </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
     </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>
</Grid>

The field "Click here to add new row" on RadGridView is dead and is even not clickable.
What to do make it working? I may even try to take it away but do know how.

Thanks.

Memory Issue

Hi,

I have problems to use RadRichTextBox (with UI) in child window because every time when child window is opened, it's uses more and more memory.

I did a very simple project where I'm using the radRichtextbox with deafult UI settings (Word prosessor) and also here I notice the same. in first time when I open the dialog with Rad components, memory grows to 110Mb => ok, but when I close the dialog and opening it again, memory grows to 120-130 and growing more every time when I close and opening the dialog .

GC.Collect does not help.

I'm using following code to open child window

MyDialog md = new MyDialog();

md.ShowDialog();

and like I said, dialog does ot include any additonal code, just default RadRichTextbox control with UI

Any suggestion what I can do to handle this issue?

I'm using RadRichTextBox version 2012.1.326.40

Regards,
Auvo
