Maybe this is obvious but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a RadGridView that's displaying paged data (with a RadDataPager).
Let's say the page size is N.
When there are less than N items in the data source, the grid sizes itself exactly to the number of rows.
When there are exactly or more than N items in the data source, the grid sizes itself exactly to N rows (and it will never be any bigger, of course).
Is it possible to "lock" the grid's desired height to the PageSize (so that it doesn't change size regardless of the number of items being displayed, and it's always exactly big enough to show N items, with empty space only if the number of items is less than N).
The grid's containing element will size itself dynamically according to the grid's preferred size.
I don't want to hard-code the Height, for obvious reasons.

SelectedItem vs ItemsSource

Hi,

in my RadWindow I have a RadComboBox, when I show my RadWindow, I already have an object and I set the Text property of my RadComboBox but at the same time, I have a running BackgroundWorker who get the ItemSource data of my RadComboBox. The BackgroundWorker take about 3 or 4 seconds to get all the data for the RadComboBox.

When my BackgroundWorker is completed, I set the ItemsSource of my RadComboBox but the Text property of my RadComboBox are not synchronize with their ItemSource. If I click on the dropdown button of my RadComboBox, the corresponding value in the dropdown are highlight.

How I can fix tthis?

Thank's

Expression Evaluation Engine

Is the engine being used to evaluate text expressions built into the RadExpressionEditor, or is it a separate assembly? I would like to use the RadExpressionEditor to build expressions within a WPF environment, but then I need to be able to take that expression text and rebuild the expression in an environment that does not have references to the WPF related assemblies.

Thanks,
Brian

Getting invalid and valid rows (IDataErrorInfo)

Hi,

I am using RadGridView to display a List of objects that implement IDataErrorInfo, this list is being populated by objects imported from an XML file. Unfortunately some of the records may contain invalid data which the application should point out. Implementing IDataErrorInfo lets me do this wonderfully.

However, I would like to find a way to get these invalid rows, and valid ones, and I have not managed to find a way to do so.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Daryl

RadDataForm Add Button Problem

Dear support,

When I click "Add", fill-in data and then "OK", the data has successfully put in the collection but "Add" button is still disabled.
I have to click "Edit" follow by "Cancel" so that the "Add" button become enabled again.

Now I know what cause the problem.
The dataform was bound to a ListCollectionView of objects that implement IEditableObject and INotifyPropertyChanged.
By design, those objects raised OnPropertyChanged event on EndEdit or CancelEdit method because there were some changes in their internal properties. This made the dataform think the object has been changed again so it didn't enable navigation and Add New buttons.

My question, can we make the dataform pay attention to only those properties bound to UI element under the dataform, or is there any other solution?

thanks,
Meaw

Any built-in support for Navigation Properties from OData sources?

I notice that out-of-the-box the RadGridView auto-generates columns for navigation properties from an OData source, regardless of whether or not they were actually expanded by the query. Is there anything built into the controls to more flexibly handle navigation properties? I was thinking it might be nice to automatically generate hyperlinks in these cells that would issue the appropriate query back to the service when clicked.

It looks like I could roll my own scheme by intercepting AutoGeneratingColumn and setting up a cell template, but then how would I determine the link information from the feed?
