Hello!

We are using MVVM pattern to build our application. One of our views uses number of NumericUpDown controls. If text of some NumericUpDown is set to empty string by user control displays red frame (see screenshot "validation error"). Property definition you can find in screenshot named "amount property".

The problem is that view model is not updated when text is empty and red frame is displayed. E.g. model still contains previous value.

What is correct way to notify View Model about missing data? Keep in mind that we have significant number of views and each contains set of numeric controls.

WPF RadGrid copy Cell value to clipboard.

We have a WPF app which uses RadGrid. As part of the app functionality, we want the grid selection unit to always be of type "row". In addition to this, we also want to expose a mechanism where the user can select a cell value for copy/paste to clipboard. Is there a way to do this? For example, double clicking a cell copies the cell value where as single click always selects the row. Or right click on cell exposes the option to "Copy cell" value?

Thanks!

Trouble putting ContextMenu on ListBoxItems nested in RadPanelBarItem

Hi All,

Edit: The title should state that the issue is with ListView items and not ListBox items. Cannot change it now - sorry about the confusion.

I am trying to put a context menu on items in a ListView when that ListView is contained within a RadPanelBarItem that has a context menu. I hope the code example below illustrates what I am trying to do. If I don't add the following then the list items show the expected menu.

<telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu x:Name="_macroActionContextMenu" />

</telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

When I add it (as shown in the snippet below) then I always get the context menu associated with the RadPanelBarItem when I right click on the ListView elements rather than the context menu specified for the ListView.ItemContainerStyle.

Any help would be appreciated. My code snippet is below.

<telerik:RadPanelBarItem Name="_rpbiMacros" Header="Macros" IsDropAllowed="False" Foreground="#FF4D4D4D" BorderBrush="#FFBCB596" >

<telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<telerik:RadContextMenu x:Name="_macroActionContextMenu" />

</telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>

<Grid Width=

"{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type telerik:RadPanelBar}}, Path=ActualWidth, Converter={StaticResource mathConverter}, ConverterParameter=@VALUE-12;0}"

>

<WrapPanel Name="_wrpMacroActions"

Visibility=

"{Binding ViewMacroActionListAsIcons, Converter={StaticResource boolToVisibilityConverter}, ConverterParameter=Visibility.Collapsed}"

>

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding MacroActionViewModelList}" >

... omitted for clarity

</ItemsControl>

</WrapPanel>

<ListView x:Name="_lviewMacroActions" ItemsSource="{Binding MacroActionViewModelList}" ButtonBase.Click="OnClick_ListViewHeader"

Visibility=

"{Binding ViewMacroActionListAsIcons, Converter={StaticResource invertBoolToVisibilityConverter}, ConverterParameter=Visibility.Collapsed}"

>

<ListView.Resources>

<ContextMenu x:Key="itemContextMenu">

<MenuItem Header="Open" Click="OnClick_EditMacroAction">

</MenuItem>

<MenuItem Header="Delete" Click="OnClick_DeleteMacroAction" >

<MenuItem.Icon>

<ContentControl Template="{StaticResource _rscDeleteImage}" />

</MenuItem.Icon>

</MenuItem>

</ContextMenu>

</ListView.Resources>

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">

<Setter Property="telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu" Value="{StaticResource itemContextMenu}" />

<EventSetter Event="MouseDoubleClick" Handler="OnDoubleClick_MacroAction" />

</Style>

</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

<ListView.View>

<GridView>

<GridViewColumn Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Model.MacroName}"/>

<GridViewColumn Header="Description" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Model.MacroDescription}" />

</GridView>

</ListView.View>

</ListView>

</Grid>

</telerik:RadPanelBarItem>

Asynchrounous loading of tile view- best practice suggestions please

I am using the radTileview that has lots of child controls in each tileitem . The itemsource of the tileview can be potentially very large ( in millions). If I try to load all the tiles, the ui hangs and it takes too long. So what I want to do is read the first 10 data items for the first 10 tileitems from my datasource and show it on the screen and then in the background keep populating the datasource model ( which is an observable collection ). As the datasource gets populated, the tileview should refresh and show the new items.
I tried the following
1. Creating the data source on a background thread, but this does not refresh the ui
2. Using the dispatcherTimer, but the behaviour is quite random. It refreshes the first lot of data and then the screen blanks out

I have set the following properties on the tileview

IsAutoScrollingEnabled

="True" IsVirtualizing="True"

Please can you suggest some best practises and I would be very obliged if you can send me some sample / example code. The tile view

Many thanks,
Subarna
