2011 Q3 Gauge - What happened to RadGauge

I upgraded to the WPF 4.0 2001 Q3 Release.
Everything seems fine but gauge.

I don't even see the word "gauge" mentioned in the release notes so its hard to tell what is going on with this control.

It doesn't show up in the toolbox. It looks like there are now specific gauge controls instead.
I also noticed on the WPF demo application. Gauge is now mentioned as BETA

What is going on with this control. My current code looks like
xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
<telerik:RadGuage

I do have refernces to both
Telerik.WindowsControls.DataVisualization
Telerik.WindowsControls.Gauge

Blackout Dates

Hi,

The standard WPF datepicker allows for the specification of blackout dates which prevents a user from selecting these date ranges.

It would be excellent if this feature was in the Telerik datepicker as it looks a little weird having 1 standard wpf control amungst all the Telerik controls in my application.

Further more, it would be nice to be able to 'easy set' things like "Weekdays only" as selectable.

Just an idea,

Xavier.

Clicked item at times returns null eventhough the item is clicked in Rad Grid View

Hello,
I have a grid view where i have displayed my results. I have a double click event by which i try to find the clicked item. But the clickedItem returns null at times. The same code gives porper clicked items most of the times, but once in a while it returns null for the clicked item. Many of my colleauges are facing similar difficulty with Grid View.

private

void RadGridViewMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

{

if (radGridView.CurrentItem == null) return;
//
// some code
//

}

here the ( radGridView.CurrentItem ) returns null at times, even though the current item details could be seen while debugging.

Populating a DataGrid with Dynamic Columns

In this blog post the author describes populating a datagrid in a SilverLight application dynamically at runtime. I'm wondering how the same might be accomplished in a WPF application using RadGridView. Porting her solution shouldn't be too difficult I'm just not sure as to the XAML, in particular the item templates. Can some one offer some insight? Thanks.

File Thumbnail

I would love to have an easy way to display the thumbnail preview of a file. The Windows Shell does it, but the pInvoke code required to make this work is excessive.

Something like this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1439719/c-sharp-get-thumbnail-from-file-via-windows-api

Perhaps a "RadFileThumbnail" control?

The Windows API Code Pack for Windows 7 has something like this, but you lock yourself into Windows 7 by using it.

Q3 2011 Public Roadmap: Timeline Beta - What is it?

Hi,

I've been reading the Q3 2011 Public Roadmap (http://www.telerik.com/products/wpf/whats-new/roadmap.aspx) and it mentions a new control "Timeline Beta". I'm wondering if Telerik can provide more details about this control (maybe an idea of what it will look like and function?) and when this control might be able to be tested.

I'm working on a project that is looking to visualize a sequence of events over time graphically and it sounds like this may be the ideal control for this purpose, however I would like to check whether this control provides what I require and if it would work within our development timelime.

Kind regards,
Dave.

System.Web requirement

Hey,

The XAML format provider (Telerik.Windows.Documents.FormatProviders.Xaml) requires System.Web for HttpUtility.HtmlEncode. This basically means we cannot use it because our companies SOE only has the .net Client Profile installed. WPF apps really shouldn't need System.Web. Is there a technical reason that you cannot use an alternative such as SecurityElement.Escape?

Thanks,

Brock

Drawing Component

Hello,
It is recommended that you include a Drawing control to your WPF control collection.
Drawing control to draw different shapes and diagrams like those on MS Visio.
It would be great that you have it.

Thanks.

RadWindow AutoResize

Hi,

I currently am using a RadWindow as a ModalDialog in a WPF application. The content in the window expands as the user clicks buttons and unlocks more menus. I need the window to adjust automatically to the expanding size of the content.
Here are my window settings from the xaml file:

MaxHeight="800" MaxWidth="730" SizeToContent="True" telerik:CanMove="True" telerik:ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip" ModalBackground="Transparent" CanClose="False"
Background="{x:Null}" Foreground="{x:Null}" WindowStartupLocation="Manual" Style="{DynamicResource LoginWindowStyle}" BorderBackground="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" MouseLeftButtonDown="MoveLoginBox" HeaderTemplate="{DynamicResource HeaderTemplate}">

Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a bug somewhere?
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, I am not able to re-size the window at all.

Thanks
Don
