Dependency Injection in Docking Manager

How do I inject a RadSplitContainer to my main docking manager (telerik:RadDocking). Currently I'm doing the following.

I am using the ninject DI framework.

I have the following code in my main main window.

<telerik:RadDocking x:Name="mainDockingManager" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"

<telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost

<telerik:RadSplitContainer><telerik:RadPaneGroup

<telerik:RadDocumentPane>Stuff here</telerik:RadDocumentPane

</telerik:RadPaneGroup

</telerik:RadSplitContainer

</telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost><br></telerik:RadDocking>

In the constructor I initialise the DI framework and inject the ILegend usercontrol into the docking manager.

InitializeComponent();

kernel =

new StandardKernel(new

AppModule());

this.mainDockingManager.Items.Add(kernel.Get<ILegend>());

The ILegend UserControl is just a wrapper around a <telerik:RadSplitContainer> i.e.:

<UserControl x:Class="Whiteboard.Plugin.UI.UnclassLegend"<br>

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

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

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" <br>

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"<br>

xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking"<br>

mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"><br>

<telerik:RadSplitContainer telerik:DockingPanel.InitialSize="170,500" InitialPosition="DockedLeft">

This method doesn't seem to be working, is it possible to inject different implementations of a RadSplitContainer containing different content?

Listbox Drag & Drop Example - Tooltip

Hi,

i'm using the Listbox Drag & Drop example as base of my ListBox. I use also a ItemTEmplate + DataTemplate. But how do i add my own TooltipTemplate to the ListboxItems?

i found an example for a tooltip template:

<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}" TargetType="ToolTip">

<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>

<Setter Property="HasDropShadow" Value="True"/>

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">

<Border CornerRadius="7" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Padding="5" BorderThickness="3,3,3,3">

<Border.Background>

<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">

<GradientStop Color="#CF181818" Offset="0"/>

<GradientStop Color="#BE1C1C1C" Offset="1"/>

</LinearGradientBrush>

</Border.Background>

<Border.BorderBrush>

<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">

<GradientStop Color="#80FFFFFF" Offset="0"/>

<GradientStop Color="#7FFFFFFF" Offset="1"/>

<GradientStop Color="#FFFFF18D" Offset="0.344"/>

<GradientStop Color="#FFFFF4AB" Offset="0.647"/>

</LinearGradientBrush>

</Border.BorderBrush>

<StackPanel>

<TextBlock FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="11" Text="{Binding Name}" Foreground="#FFFFFFFF" />

</StackPanel>

</Border>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

But how bin this Template to my DataItems?

WPF 2012.1.507.40

At present I am using Telerik assemblies 2012.1.507.40 but my teammate when logged into the product download page can only see 2012.1.326 (Mar 26, 2012).

What would be the best course of action to download the full msi for 2012.1.507.40?

Thank you,

Advice : Agnostic user diagram displaying a well known set of object

First :
I'm working in a domain using well known objects ... let say, water distribution.
The objects are, most of the time, always the same.

Distribution pipes
Pumps
Captors
Motors
etc.

Most of the time, the first things to do is to layout all the objects and make connections between them. For instance, layout the water distribution of a city. It seams that I can do this in an easy way with the new (beta) diagram feature, using WPF and MVVM.

It seams really nice by the way!

Second :
Let's complicate the thing a little bit.
I would like my application to be modular. I discovered prims/unity. Searching your blogs/forums, it seams feasible to use rad controls in a prism environment.

I found some ways to use RadDocking with prism and also some examples on how to use the ribbon with prism.
But founding no "Here is the way to do" solution, I known that it won't be as easy as the diagram part, but that's OK for me.

Third :
Here is the funny part.
Let's say there is an existing diagram for a city.
All the layout is done and I can have basic information when I'm selecting an element (the kind, a part number, the color, the placement, the links, etc.)

But after that, I would like to have a set of .dll files to add or remove from the application installation folder that will adapt the application so that it can be used by different people. But keep in mind that the diagram is always the same.

As an example, take the maintenance team and inventory team as 2 separate kinds of users.
By clicking on a water pump, I would like to have a new/expanded property view (and even ribbon tab, commands) that are designed by kind of user:

Maintenance : when was the last maintenance and who did it, when is the next one and who will do it, etc.
inventory team : do we have spare parts and how many. Where are the parts buy, what is the cost, etc.

I could also have new diagram element that can be added to the existing diagram.

The idea is that my data repository contains all the information for my domain object, but I want to be able to have a modular application displaying only the necessary part that could interest the user. In fact, it could be sold as 3 different applications if necessary.

My question is :
- It seems easy to build a diagram
- It seems feasible to build a diagram inside a modular application
=> It is possible to build a modular diagram application so that it fill the needs explained in the third part of this post?

Any advice or real experiences are welcomed.

Regards,

Nic

Contextmenu, Seperator -> Background ignored

In a sample application the Background of the Seperator and the Contextmenu are ignored.
Is this a Bug or am I doing something wrong?

See attached Image. Seperator has a gray background and the ContextMenu is not LimeGreen.

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"

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"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

<Grid>

<telerik:RadTreeListView>

<telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu x:Name="treeContextMenu" Background="LimeGreen">

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Test 1" Background="White"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Test 2" Background="White"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" Background="White"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Test 3" Background="White"/>

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Test 4" Background="White"/>

RadDocking loadLayout is not restoring the Pane - IsPinned

Hello

I am using the RadDocking control to manage our application main layout. I wanted to implement a Save/Load functionality in order to provide a better user experience. To do that I added a SaveLayout and LoadLayout menu Items that uses the RadDocking.SaveLayout and RadDocking.LoadLayout methods (http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/raddocking-features-save-load-layout.html) . The layout structure is saved and loaded properly, but I noticed that the ‘IsPinned’ property of the panes is not being properly restored. It looks like that property is not being included in the saved layout structure and therefore not being restored.

As an example:

1- Start the application. All Panes are pinned.

2- The user saves the layout.

3- The user unpin a pane

4- The user loads the layout.

5- … the pin remains unpinned….

Is this an expected behaviour? If not, How can I accomplish what I am looking for (5- The pane is restored as pinned)?
Thanks,

Docking

Style RadTreeViewItem to Stretch to full horizontal width

Hello,

I'm trying to style a RadTreeViewItem to take up all available space in the TreeList width. I have three items of bound data I want to show in a treeitem. The first two being an image and a name, and the last being an image indicating a status that is to be right aligned to the very edge of the treeview where the scroll bar would appear.

In order to do this in a WPF tree view, one has to completely override the treeview item style and use dock panels to change the effect as described here: http://leecampbell.blogspot.ca/2009/01/horizontal-stretch-on-treeviewitems.html

I've tried different forms of Grids and dock panels, but the result always looks the same - as if the items are displayed in a stack panel. I can see that the selected item style actually spans the width of the tree, can I get the item template to display in this manor?

Dynamically Adding Series

Is there a way of dynamically adding series to the chart view at runtime? Ideally within an MVVM implementation although that's not strictly necessary.

Thanks,

Gareth.
