I am trying to implement a chartview with a line series. The x axis has values in miliseconds. I feel the features of the linear axis suites me more then the DateTimeCategoricalAxis but I can't seem to get it to work with linear axis in both horizontal and vertical directions. Doesn't this work? And if it does, how would I do thìs? Is there any example showing this?

NullReferenceException when creating ReadOnlyRange

Hi

i am creating readonly ranges using the InsertReadOnlyRange method.
This works well most of the times.
However I get a NullReferenceException deeply from the tk-lib code
with the following stacktrace:

Telerik.Windows.Documents.dll!Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.RadDocument.GetCaretInline() Line 1319 C#

Telerik.Windows.Documents.dll!Telerik.Windows.Documents.Model.RadDocument.GetCurrentSpanStyle() Line 1336 + 0xc bytes    C#

Telerik.Windows.Documents.dll!Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadRichTextBox.UpdateCurrentStyles() Line 2974 + 0x20 bytes    C#

Telerik.Windows.Documents.dll!Telerik.Windows.Documents.UI.DocumentWebLayoutPresenter.DoOnCaretLocationChanged() Line 441    C#

Telerik.Windows.Documents.dll!Telerik.Windows.Documents.UI.DocumentWebLayoutPresenter.DoOnDocumentChanged.AnonymousMethod__6() Line 409 + 0xa bytes    C#

the line raising the exception goes like:

//Line 1319 in RadDocument.cs

SpanLayoutBox previousSpanBox = DocumentStructureCollection.GetPreviousSiblingForDocumentElement(currentSpanBox,

currentSpanBox.Parent.AssociatedDocumentElement) as SpanLayoutBox;

// ^^^^^NullReferenceException: Parent is null sometimes

"Parent" is null here.
I noticed that the "null-ness" and the exception only occur if the span is inserted using InsertInline:

RadDocument doc = editor.Document;

var span1 = new Span("This text is protected");

// doc.InsertInline(span1); //this span's spanbox will have no Parent, causing a Null ref

(doc.Sections.Last.Blocks.Last as Paragraph).Inlines.Add(span1); //this span's spanbox will have a Parent, not causing a Null ref

DocumentPosition pos3 = new DocumentPosition(doc.DocumentLayoutBox, true);

var spb1 = span1.FirstLayoutBox as SpanLayoutBox;

pos3.MoveToInline(spb1, 0);

DocumentPosition pos4 = new DocumentPosition(doc.DocumentLayoutBox, true);

pos4.MoveToInline(spb1, spb1.PositionsCountInBox - 1);

doc.InsertReadOnlyRange(pos3, pos4); // raises Null ref in RadDocument.GetCaretInline if using "doc.InsertInline"

so my wish to the telerik developpers is to fix this line of code.
There are circumstances where a spanbox has no Parent layoutbox.
(E.g. when appending it with InsertInline). So you can't use it to get its previous sibling.
If you anaylze the stack trace and the surrounding code of "GetCaretInline"
it's fully OK to null check the Parent property and in this case simply return
the span associated to the layoutbox "currentSpanBox".

Problem Binding to RadTreeListView

Hi,

I am using a TreeListView to display data as multi-column tree. I have set my VM as DataContext to the page and giving my VM property as the ItemsSource of the TreeListView control. When I change the underlying data in VM, it updates the data in the grid normally for the 1st time, but it never updates the data in the grid after that. I checked the data in VM is always right, but the grid never shows the update. It happens only once.

My grid code is:
<telerik:RadTreeListView x:Name="trvHierachyData" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Data}">
<telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
<telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
</telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition>
</telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition>
</telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition>
</telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition>
</telerik:TreeListViewTableDefinition>
</telerik:RadTreeListView.ChildTableDefinitions>
</telerik:RadTreeListView>

I am setting the page data context to the VM, i.e. in page ctor - this.DataContext = vmMainControl. The VM has a property by the name of Data which is of type ObservableCollection<T>. The Data collection has Items which is a collection collection of that node.

Please let me know if I am not clear

Regards,
Bhaskar

Want RadPanes be closed/unpinned at the time of initial loading of window

When the view is initially loaded, the RadPanes start out open, and then immediately shut. This is visible and distracting. I really want them to just be closed from the get go.How can I make it so the RadPanes in a RadPaneGroup are initially closed (unpinned)?

How can I make it so the RadPanes in a RadPaneGroup are initially closed (unpinned)?

Code snipet:

<radDock:RadDocking x:Name="radDocking1" Background="{StaticResource WindowBackgroundBrush}">

<radDock:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

</radDock:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

<radDock:RadSplitContainer radDock:DockingPanel.InitialSize="300,300" MaxWidth="600"

Cannot get Text of ContextMenu

I am trying to implement a ContextMenu for a treeview control (WPF) by using your Telerik's online tutorial. However, I often get error message as I copy & paste the tutorial code.

Here is what I have in XAML:
        <telerik:RadTreeView Canvas.Left="18" Canvas.Top="136" Height="615" Name="raceTreeView" Width="311" Background="Bisque" IsLineEnabled="True">
            
            <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                <telerik:RadContextMenu ItemClick="TreeContextMenu_ItemClick">
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Add" />
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Delete" />
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Edit" />
                </telerik:RadContextMenu>
            </telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
        </telerik:RadTreeView>

Here is the relevant segements in C# code-behind:
using Telerik.Windows;
using Telerik.Windows.Controls;
using Telerik.Windows.Data;

....

private void TreeContextMenu_ItemClick(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
   {
    MenuItem item = (e.OriginalSource as RadMenuItem).DataContext as MenuItem;
    switch ( item.Text )
    {
        case "Add":
            ....
        case "Edit":
            ....
        case "Delete":
            ....
        }
     }
   }

I get an error message on this line : switch ( item.Text )
'System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem' does not contain a definition for 'Text' and no extension method 'Text' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Controls.MenuItem' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,
Hamid

Please disregard this post. I found the error.

Filter on null Float values throwing exception

I have a data bound column on a float field. Some of the float values are null in the database. When I filter on the column when all values are not null, the filter works fine. When I filter on the column with null values included, I get an exception in Telerik code, "Nullable object must have a value." Here is the call stack when the exception is thrown:

RadCalendar control not visible in design...

I am in the process of evaluating Telerik controls for WPF. I started by added a RadTabControl
to my main window (window1). I then set up 3 RadTabItems by using the collection editor
under the Items property of the RadTabControl. Dragging other controls from the toolbox
over to specific RadTabItems doesn't appear to work. I manually went into the XAML code
and inserted a calendar control on RadTabItem(2), and it shows up when running the
program, it does not show when in design mode however. I'm further confused by how
you would go about adding multiple controls to a RadTabItem. I am currently using
Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.21022.8 .Net Framework 3.5. Here is my current
XAML code. I'm wondering if someone could give me some pointers on what I'm
doing wrong ?

<Window x:Class="Window1"

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

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

Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="708" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">

<telerik:RadTabControl Margin="39,51,94,45" Name="RadTabControl1" TabOrientation="Vertical" TabStripPlacement="Left">

<telerik:RadTabItem AllowDrop="True" Header="Tab1" Name="RTI1"></telerik:RadTabItem>

<telerik:RadTabItem AllowDrop="True" Header="Tab2" Name="RTI2">

<telerik:RadCalendar Name="RadCalendar1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="121" ClipToBounds="True" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Metro"></telerik:RadCalendar>
