Ribbon KeyTips and Keyboard Nav

KeyTips and Keyboard Access via KeyTips appear to work fine in the RibbonView demos, but none of them work in the RadRichTextBox demos that use RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI.

I can't get it to work in any of my attempts either.

Is there any way to get this to work?

Changing FocusVisualStyle doesn't affect the control

Hi,

in my form, I created a FocusVisualStyle for my control. For my TextBox it work but for Telerik RadDatePicker it doesn't work :(
I want to know how I can change teh FocusVisualStyle of Telerik controls to have the same than the standard controls.

PS: You have to keep in mind that all my forms reside in a DLL which is called by a WinFrom application ;)

Here is part of my xaml:

    <telerik:RadWindow.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ControlTemplate x:Key="FocusTemplate" >
                <Rectangle Margin="-3" Stroke="Orange" StrokeThickness="2" RadiusX="2" RadiusY="2" StrokeDashArray="2,1">
                    <Rectangle.Triggers>
                        <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Rectangle.Loaded">
                            <BeginStoryboard>
                                <Storyboard>
                                    <DoubleAnimation To="3" Duration="0:0:1" RepeatBehavior="Forever" Storyboard.TargetProperty="StrokeDashOffset" />
                                </Storyboard>
                            </BeginStoryboard>
                        </EventTrigger>
                    </Rectangle.Triggers>
                </Rectangle>
            </ControlTemplate>

            <helper:BoolToVisibility x:Key="boolToVisibility" />
            <helper:BoolToVisibilityInverter x:Key="boolToVisibilityInverter" />
            <helper:BoolInverter x:Key="boolInverter" />

            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="BillingDetails-Fr-Res.xaml"/>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Resources;component/Neuron-CustomStyles.xaml"/>
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

        </ResourceDictionary>
    </telerik:RadWindow.Resources>

<telerik:RadDatePicker Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" Margin="5 5 0 0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsEnabled="{Binding ElementName=Me, Path=IsReadOnly, Converter={StaticResource boolInverter}}" SelectedValue="{Binding ElementName=Me, Path=Visit.VisitDate, Mode=TwoWay}" />

[Solved] Custom annotation that treats the entire annotation as a single item

Hello,

I'm having trouble understanding the DeleteBehavior, BackspaceBehavior, and DeleteSelectedBehavior properties in annotations. They do not seem to be working how I would expect them to.

I would like to have a custom annotation that works almost exactly like a read-only annotation range, but I would like to be able to select and delete the entire annotation range, including the text, from the UI.

I assumed that I would be able to customize this behavior by setting the DeleteBehavior, BackspaceBehavior, and DeleteSelectedBehavior, but it doesn't seem to work regardless of what settings I specify in those overridden properties.

Is it even possible to do what I am asking?

Thanks,

Frank

[Solved] Set individual series color in 3D chart

I have implemented the use of the 2D chart (bar, line, splinearea, splineseries) in software and have no problems setting the graphing color fill for each series in the charts data set. I was hoping that the 3D chart used the same methodology but this does not appear to be the case. I need to be able to set each series to a user chosen color. It should not be this hard but I can't find any information on how to set up each series. It appears that the chart just picks each color automatically without giving the ability to have it manually set. Please help!

The way that I set the color with the 2D charts is as follows:

 lineSeries.Definition.Appearance.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
 lineSeries.Definition.Appearance.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);

If I change the lineSeries type to Line3DSeriesDefinition then the default aqua color that comes up with the examples is used even when the color Blue is set as defined above.

Thanks for any help that can be provided!

[Solved] Set Background color for 3D Chart

I need to know how to set the background color of the charting area of a 3D chart. For the 2D chart I create a MarkedZone object and apply a solidcolorbrush as follows:

 MarkedZone bgZone = new MarkedZone();
 bgZone.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Aqua);
 this.radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.Annotations.Clear();
 this.radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.Annotations.Add(bgZone);

This does not work for the 3D chart!  How would I make this work for the 3D chart or is it even possible.

Thanks,

James

Problem when using Expression_DarkTheme

Hi,

I have made a DayTemplateSelector - allowing me to style the calendar (highlighting different dates with colors..).
This works fine with all the different themes except the "Expression_Dark" theme (the dates are not highlighted with my color)
See attached images...(with and without "Expression_Dark" theme)
1. Any ideas why this theme is different from the others?

2. How can I decrease the height/width on the areas that show day/weeknumber?
They take up way too much space...(I have marked the areas with green color on image: RadCalendar - DayTemplateSelector 2.png)

<Controls:RadCalendar x:Name="TommedatoKalender"

Rows="3" Columns="4"

SelectionMode="Extended"

ViewsHeaderVisibility="Visible"

DisplayDate="{Binding DisplayDate}">

<Controls:RadCalendar.DayTemplateSelector>

<selector:KalenderDagSelector>

<selector:KalenderDagSelector.DefaultTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" Height="18" Width="18" TextAlignment="Center"/>

</DataTemplate>

</selector:KalenderDagSelector.DefaultTemplate>

<selector:KalenderDagSelector.TommeDagTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<Border BorderThickness="1"

BorderBrush="{DynamicResource HighlightDayColor}"

CornerRadius="12"

HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="{DynamicResource HighlightDayColor}">

<Grid>

<Border Name="mask" Background="{DynamicResource HighlightDayColor}" CornerRadius="7"/>

<StackPanel>

<StackPanel.OpacityMask>

<VisualBrush Visual="{Binding ElementName=mask}"/>

</StackPanel.OpacityMask>

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" Background="{DynamicResource HighlightDayColor}" Height="18" Width="18" TextAlignment="Center" />

</StackPanel>

</Grid>

</Border>

</DataTemplate>

</selector:KalenderDagSelector.TommeDagTemplate>

</selector:KalenderDagSelector>

</Controls:RadCalendar.DayTemplateSelector>

</Controls:RadCalendar>

TreeListView IsExpanded OneWay binding

In a current project, we've used the TreeListView to display hierachical data (sreenshot attached).

What we want to do is to expand all lines of a specific level.
For example (see screenshot) :
> when the user clicks on button "1", all "level 1" lines should expand
> when the user clicks on button "2", all "level 1 and 2" lines should expand
etc.

We've succeeded doing this scenario with a Style Selector (already used for background coloration) :

<styleSelectors:ConditionalStyleSelector.Level1Style>
     <Style TargetType="telerik:TreeListViewRow">
          <Setter Property="Background" Value="#6699FF" />
          <Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding Path=IsExpandedLevel1, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}, Mode=TwoWay}" />
     </Style>
</styleSelectors:ConditionalStyleSelector.Level1Style>

However, when the user collapses one "level 2" line (for example) all "level 2" lines are collasped.
So we've changed the binding mode to "OneWay" :

<Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding Path=IsExpandedLevel1, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}, Mode=OneWay}" />

However, with mode "OneWay" it doesn't work ...

Any idea ? Or sample code to do this ?

Zero based X-Axis

I'm evalulating Rad Charts as a possible component for my company and seem to have hit a wall. Is it possible to have a bar chart, with positive and negative values on the same series and have the x-axis held at zero? This would be very common in the financial world for say a performance chart. Some bars go up, some bars go down depending on positive and negative performance buckets. Am I correct in thinking the product does not currently support this?

Many thanks,
Chris Dietz
