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>

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">

<Grid>

<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>

</telerik:RadTabItem>

<telerik:RadTabItem AllowDrop="True" Header="Tab3" Name="RTI3"></telerik:RadTabItem>

</telerik:RadTabControl>

</Grid>

</Window>

Cannot Enter Edit Mode on Left Mouse Click

I am trying to emulate Windows general behavior for editing treeview nodes: clicking on an already selected node enters the editing mode.

With RadTreeView (WPF) I can handle the previewMouseDown events, as well as the left and right mouse button preview events of the treeview.

            AddHandler _TV.PreviewMouseDown, AddressOf tv_PreviewMouseDown

In the event handler i call begin edit (TV.SelectedContainer.BeginEdit() or myradTreeviewitem.BeginEdit).

        Private Sub tv_PreviewMouseDown(sender As Object, e As MouseButtonEventArgs) 
            Dim s = TryCast(e.OriginalSource, UIElement)             
            If s Is Nothing Then Exit Sub             
                Dim Item = UI.Library.FindVisualParent(Of Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTreeViewItem)(s)
                If Item Is Nothing Then Exit Sub             
                If Item.IsSelected Then                 
                _TV.SelectedContainer.BeginEdit() 
                ' Item.BeginEdit
            End If         
        End Sub 

UI.Library.FindVisualParent is a small function that returns the parent of Type T of an element

This code works perfectly with a Righ Mouse click.
It does not work with a Left Mouse Click
In other words, BeginEdit does not work when called on a previewMouseDown if the left button triggered the event.

The PreviewMouseRightButtonDown works using the same handler.
The PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown works using the same handler.

Is there a reason why this is so. It is important for my application that I can keep windows interface conventions like clicking on the selected Tree Node enters editing mode.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Scatter Plots and Date Times

When I have a scatter point series where xvalue mapping is a date time and the chart's horizontal axis is a DateTimeContinuousAxis I get nothing plotted.

I can't imagine I'm the only one wanting to plot time series data without using the line series?

Is there a way to use the line series but not draw the lines, but draw the points?
