DropShadowEffect

I can create RadContextMenu with a DropShadowEffect if I just show it in a Grid; however if I try and attach it to a Window.ContextMenu (or any other control) the shadow doesn't appear. I've tried all sorts of variations using Resource Styles and ResourceDictionaries, and nothing works. I'm including the MainWindow.xaml source and a screen shot showing the results.

<Window

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"

x:Name="Window"

Title="MainWindow"

Width="640" Height="480"

>

<telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu ClickToOpen="True"

InheritDataContext="False">

<telerik:RadContextMenu.Effect>

<DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="3" Opacity="0.445" RenderingBias="Quality"/>

</telerik:RadContextMenu.Effect>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Copy" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Paste" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Cut" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Select All" />

</telerik:RadContextMenu>

</telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">

<telerik:RadContextMenu

Margin="105,53,247,147"

ClickToOpen="True"

InheritDataContext="False">

<telerik:RadContextMenu.Effect>

<DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="3" Opacity="0.445" RenderingBias="Quality"/>

</telerik:RadContextMenu.Effect>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Item 1">

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Item 1"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Item 2"/>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Item 2">

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Item 3"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Item 4"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Item 5"/>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</telerik:RadContextMenu>

</Grid>

</Window>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

Selection Zooming issue

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with using the mouse selection zooming (where you select a rectangle to zoom in on). After a few successful zooms, an error is thrown (ArgumentException: Width and Height must be non-negative.) when trying to zoom in to fine detail. I assume this has something to do with rendering the pan/zoom bar, but I'm not certain.

I can catch the previewMouseUp event, but I'm not sure how to correctly check/handle this issue.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Also, the interesting bit of the stacktrace from the exception:

at System.Windows.Size..ctor(Double width, Double height)
   at Telerik.Windows.Controls.ChartView.ChartPanAndZoomBehavior.UpdatePanAndZoom(Double startX, Double endX, Double startY, Double endY) in c:\TB\102\WPF_Scrum\Release_WPF\Sources\Development\Controls\Chart\Visualization\Behaviors\ChartPanAndZoomBehavior.Branch.cs:line 278

Can we extend the InputBox parsing logic?

Hi there,

We need to support some customised formats for user to type in the input box. e.g. if I type a "+5" in the input box today (03/03/2010), it needs to be converted to 08/03/2010 (the 5th day from today's date).

We've tried to bind a converter to the datepicker, but it's too late as the input has already been updated by the default parsing logic. And the fact that having inputText as a private member is not helping either.

So, Is there a way to change/extend the datepicker's default inputbox text parsing mechanism? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

DatePicker

EmptyText property for RadGridView

Hello All,

RadComboBox has a property called "EmptyText" which displays when the combo box has not been set (meaning SelectedIndex = -1). Is there similar functionality in the RadGridView that is *already baked in*? When a user changes the filter and the grid has not rows to display, I want to display a message in the body of the grid like "No rows to display".

RadBreadcrumItem Container Style Does Not Work

Hi,

Please could you inform me why I cannot set an ItemContainerStyle for a RadBreadcrumbItem. I thought that I may be able to use a style to set a default image, with the following XAML...

<telerik:RadBreadcrumb.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadBreadcrumbItem}">
<Setter Property="Image" Value="{StaticResource Folder16}"/>
</Style>
</telerik:RadBreadcrumb.ItemContainerStyle>

However, I get the following error at runtime....

{"'RadBreadcrumbItem' type must derive from FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement."}

Thanks

Strange scrolling behavior in RadGridView

I have a form with a couple of RadGridView controls on it. The form in question is a UserControl, embedded in a TabItem in a TabControl on the MainWindow. There is another UserConrol on another TabItem in the same TabControl, which is used to display details of the selected item in one of the RadGridView controls, and other that is used to display the details of the selected item in the other RadGridView.

Here is the Xaml for one of the RadGridView controls:

<telerik:RadGridView AutoExpandGroups="True"

AutoGenerateColumns="False"

CanUserDeleteRows="False"

CanUserFreezeColumns="False"

CanUserInsertRows="False"

CanUserResizeColumns="True"

CanUserSortColumns="True"

EnableColumnVirtualization="True"

EnableRowVirtualization="True"

FontSize="16"

FontWeight="Bold"

IsReadOnly="True"

MouseDoubleClick="ReadsGrid_MouseDoubleClick"

Name="ReadsGrid"

RowStyleSelector="{StaticResource StyleSelector}"

SelectionChanged="ReadsGrid_SelectionChanged"

SelectionUnit="FullRow"

ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"

ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"

ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"

ShowGroupFooters="True"

ToolTip="Matching Reads">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Plate, Mode=OneWay}"

Header="Plate"

Width="*" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding State, Mode=OneWay}"

Header="State"

Width="75" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding TimeStamp, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource DateConverter}}"

Header="Date & Time"

Width="175" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding GPSInformation.Position.Latitude, Converter={StaticResource CoordConverter}, ConverterParameter=NS}"

Header="Latitude"

Width="142" />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding GPSInformation.Position.Longitude, Converter={StaticResource CoordConverter}, ConverterParameter=EW}"

Header="Longitude"

Width="142" />

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

From the code-behind, here is the code for the SelectionChanged event handler and for the MouseDoubleClick event handler:

private void ReadsGrid_MouseDoubleClick( object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e ) {

if ( OkToSwitchToRecordDetails ) {

TabItem searchTabItem = (TabItem) Parent;

TabControl tabControl = (TabControl) searchTabItem.Parent;

TabItem recordDetailsTabItem = FindTab( typeof( EditRecordDetails ) );

recordDetailsTabItem.IsSelected = true;

}

e.Handled = true;

}

private void ReadsGrid_SelectionChanged( object sender, SelectionChangeEventArgs e ) {

ReadViewModel read = (ReadViewModel) ReadsGrid.SelectedItem;

ReadsGrid.ScrollIndexIntoView( ReadsGrid.Items.IndexOf( read ) );

HavePrevRecord = ReadsGrid.Items.IndexOf( read ) > 0;

HaveNextRecord = ReadsGrid.Items.IndexOf( read ) < ( Reads.Count - 1 );

RecordDetailsControl.DisplayRead( read );

e.Handled = true;

}

Everything works, but there's something very odd going on. When you double click on the row, the RadGridView seems to scroll. In fact, it scrolls far enough to bring the row you just double clicked on off the screen. Note that the call to ScrollIndexIntoView has no effect: I added that to try to bring the row back into view and it's doing nothing.

In the UserControl in the other tab, there are two buttons named "PrevButton" and "NextButton". Here is the code for their Click event handlers:

private void NextButton_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e ) {

try {

SearchControl.NextRecord( LastRecord );

} catch ( ObjectNotFoundException ex ) {

string msg = MessageGenerator.ExceptionMessage( "Error getting next record: ", ex );

Log.Error( msg );

CarSystemMessageBox.Show( msg, "Error Getting Next Record" );

}

// Mark event handled

e.Handled = true;

}

private void PrevButton_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e ) {

try {

SearchControl.PrevRecord( LastRecord );

} catch ( ObjectNotFoundException ex ) {

string msg = MessageGenerator.ExceptionMessage( "Error getting next record: ", ex );

Log.Error( msg );

CarSystemMessageBox.Show( msg, "Error Getting Next Record" );

}

// Mark event handled

e.Handled = true;

}

And here's the NextRecord and PrevRecord methods in the SearchControl:

public void NextRecord( ReadViewModel read ) {

// Figure out the index of the last object in the ReadsGrid RadGridView's Items collection

int lastObj = ReadsGrid.Items.Count - 1;

// Get the index of this object in the ReadsGrid's Items collection.

int idxRead = ReadsGrid.Items.IndexOf( read );

// The next record is the next one in the ReadsGrid's Items collection, if there is one.

if ( idxRead < lastObj ) {

// Set HaveNextRecord and HavePrevRecord

HavePrevRecord = true;

HaveNextRecord = idxRead < lastObj;

// Select the next record.

read = ReadsGrid.Items[ idxRead + 1 ] as ReadViewModel;

} else {

// There isn't a next record. Set HaveNextRecord and HavePrevRecord

HaveNextRecord = false;

HavePrevRecord = idxRead > 0;

}

// Select the Read & scroll it into view

ReadsGrid.SelectedItem = read;

ReadsGrid.ScrollIntoView( read );

}

public void PrevRecord( ReadViewModel read ) {

// Declare some variables we will need to use

int idxRead = -1;

// Get the index of this object in the ReportRows array.

idxRead = ReadsGrid.Items.IndexOf( read );

// The previous record is the previous one in the ReadsGrid's Items collection, if there is one.

if ( idxRead > 0 ) {

// Set HaveNextRecord and HavePrevRecord

HaveNextRecord = true;

HavePrevRecord = idxRead > 0;

// Select the next record.

read = ReadsGrid.Items[ idxRead - 1 ] as ReadViewModel;

} else {

// There isn't a previous record. Set HavePrevRecord to false and HaveNextRecord

HavePrevRecord = false;

HaveNextRecord = idxRead < ( ReadsGrid.Items.Count - 1 );

}

// Select the Read & scroll it into view

ReadsGrid.SelectedItem = read;

ReadsGrid.ScrollIntoView( read );

}

Again, everything works, but the ScrollIntoView doesn't work. I've always had that call there, in case you kept clicking one of the buttons and eventually selected a row that wasn't in view.

All rows are the same height, and turning RowVirtualization off has no effect. The rows are still off the screen when I come back to the tab with the RadGridViews.

Is this a bug? Is there some property I have turned on that's breaking it?
