I have a WPF application that is designed to be used on laptops with touch screens by police officers while they are driving.  Everything is enlarged to be easy to read at a glance and to hit with sausage fingers.  Since the application is running in a police car, it has day and night modes.  The purpose of night mode is to change the colors of the controls so as not to be too bright or affect night vision.

The RadDateTimePicker controls I'm using have resisted all of my attempts to get their colors to change.  No matter what I do, they always look exactly the same.

Here is what I have done for the TextBox controls in my application.  This lives in the app.xaml, so it applies to all TextBox controls in my application:

The DynamicResources shown are only a few of the ones I've defined.  My app changes the Brushes associated with the various DynamicResources by swapping ResourceDictionaries in the MergedDictionaries property of the Application object.  This is working well.  Except for the RadTimePicker controls.

How do I get my RadDateTimePicker controls to work with my color changing method?  The content templates of your styles are confusing to read and I don't know what part of the control belongs with which part of the template.

When dynamically changing themes with the rich text box, only certain associated dialogs, etc change after the initial render.

For example, I've included a picture of the Font editor (right-click rich text box and select Font..).  What happens is the button faces (buttons, combo boxes, etc) will remain at whatever theme was selected the first time you bring up the dialog.  In this case, I had originally brought up the dialog with the expression dark theme.  I then switched to office blue and brought it back up.  As you can see most of the elements switched over to office blue as expected, but not all.

The same situation holds true with the paragraph properties dialog, and the right-click menu itself.

As an aside, one thing I'm curious about is the text box itself.  While the border and corner radius change based on the theme, the default text color and background do not change.  I assume that was intentional, but have you considered having an option for it to change as well?

I have a grid view which is bound to a collection in view model. I have another collection in view model and i want grid to be filtered for the records. i can have itemssource changed to this new collection but that wont allow me to clear filters in grid UI to see all the records. I didn't find anything on your blogs to programatically set the filter in MVVM model.
Filterdescriptors looked somewhat suitable but there is no operator like 'IN' and 'value' cannot be bound to a list.

Please suggest how this can be achived.

I have a hierarchical RadTreeView, which I am trying to get sorted properly. The first level items need to be sorted by a binding expression, and the second level items need to be sorted by a different binding expression.

Can you refer me to some samples on how to do this?

I had to create a custom column generator with additional logic. It uses reflection to retrieve information about required fields and generates columns.

var gridColumn = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewDataColumn { 
    Header = attributes[0].Header, IsVisible = attributes[0].IsVisible, 
    UniqueName = property.Name, 
    DataMemberBinding = new Binding(string.Format("Item.{0}", property.Name)),
}

It works perfectly except grouping and sorting. However I turned on, that user can sort, and the
grid is groupable and sortable.
this.InternalGrid.GroupDescriptors.Add(new Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.ColumnGroupDescriptor()  
{ Column = this.InternalGrid.Columns[1] });




Grouping seems to be working, it adds the correct column to the group panel, however there is only one group

which contains all of the rows. Sorting is working alike, indicator shows the correct sorting option but nothing

happens. What am I missing here?

Hi I am using RadDataPager with RadDataView to show only 5 records at the time in the grid
But when I am using Grouping on the datagrid the Pager returns 5 Group headers per page and the actual records are much more...

Is there a way to fix it?

Hi,

I have an application with multiple RadWindow and RadWindow.Alert. Some of them are in my project and the orther are in other project (DLL) associated to my application. I like to know how I can disable RadWindow/RadWindow.Alert animation for all my application and related DLL's?

PS: Are the persistence can take care of it if I disable the animation???

Thank's

I want to put text in the GridView Row header, similar to MS Excel, where it puts numbers 1, 2, 3...... I want to put some custom text. Can you tell me how can this be done?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a RadGridView that gets bound to a DataTable (aside: this may not be the proper way to bind, but the UserControl is passed _wg) with this line:
rgvGrid.ItemsSource = _wg.GridData.Tables[0];
One of the columns has a string that I'd like to show an image dependant on what the string is. A job for a converter I thought...
My Converter class is (I've taken out the case statements to ensure an image is returned):

My xaml file contains:
This doesn't work. When I add the converter to DataMemberBinding (as shown above), the program enters the converter, but it doesn't enter the converter if I simply have it listed in the Image Source line (also shown).

Have you any suggestions how to get this to work?

Thanks
