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

[Solved] How to customize the default behavior of the RadTreeView

Hello everybody :)

My scenario is the following:

I have a TreeView with services grouped by category just like this:

Cateogory 1:

Service 1

Service 2

Category 2:

Service 3

Service 4:

And another empty TreeView. The user can drag and drop services from the "services-tree" to the "empty-tree".

I have set the IsDragDropEnable = true, and the default behavior is great but I want to customize the default behavior of the TreeView to achieve the following:

1.- When the user drag an drop successfully a service, this service should not be removed from the "service-tree".

2.- Prevent that the user drop the same service into the "empty-tree" more than once. The "empty-tree" cannot host the same item more than once.

3.- Allow that the user reorder the services on the "empty-tree", i.e. allow drag and drop for the items of the "empty-tree" before or after it current position but no inside of each other.

Can you tell me please which events I have to handle to achieve this behavior? If possible I really appreciate if you add some code snippets.

Is this possible?

I hope you can help me.

Best Regards

Jorge

Get Caret Position to Set Location of ListBox (Autocomplete/Intellisense)

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to build my own Autocomplete (intellisense) RadRichTextBox. For the autocomplete popup I'm using your RadListView.

Grid>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<telerik:RadRichTextBox x:Name="radRichTextBox" AcceptsReturn="True" Width="800" Margin="10" Grid.Column="0" DocumentContentChanged="radRichTextBox_DocumentContentChanged">

<telerik:RadRichTextBox.Effect>

<DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="10" Color="Gray" Opacity=".4" Direction="320" RenderingBias="Performance" />

</telerik:RadRichTextBox.Effect>

<telerik:RadRichTextBox.LayoutTransform>

<ScaleTransform ScaleX="{Binding ElementName=Scale, Path=Value}" ScaleY="{Binding ElementName=Scale, Path=Value}" />

</telerik:RadRichTextBox.LayoutTransform>

<telerik:RadDocument x:Name="radDocument" />

</telerik:RadRichTextBox>

<telerik:RadListBox Width="100" Height="100">

<ListBoxItem Content="Item 1" />

<ListBoxItem Content="Item 2" />

<ListBoxItem Content="Item 3" />

<ListBoxItem Content="Item 4" />

</telerik:RadListBox>

</Grid>

Do you know how I can get the caret position and set the RadListBox position next to it / slightly offset?

Thank you very much for your time,

Rob

[Solved] Reverse checkbox binding

I know this is an odd request and probably not Ideal but is there anyway to set a wpf checkbox to be checked when the binding value is false and unchecked when it is true? The checkbox is bound to a field in a database object and because of a legacy application I can't just reverse the values in the table.
