Is it possible that the RadMap.PanningFinished not only fires when the panning is finished?
In our application PanningFinished fires continously when you are panning (with the mouse)?

We have "SpringAnimation" set to "false"
The version we are using is: 2011.2.Sp1.Internal 2011.2.1010.40 Runtime Version: v4.0.30319

Change notification, ha

Guys, why there is not "IsTransitionChanged" event in transition control? WPF--- Change Notification. Anyone? That should have been one of the basic functional requirements for this control.
How can I detect when my views have successfully transitioned in place, relative easily without the use of PropertyDescriptors.

How to style BusyIndicator to be invisible?

Hi telerik,

I have an application with dockable windows. to 'protect' windows that might be undocked during long-running operations, I have applied BusyIndicators to each individual window. The BusyIndicators are linked to a singleton viewmodel and it works perfectly.

As for the visual part of the BusyIndicator, I only want it in the main window.

Can you advice me on how to style the BusyIndicator on child windows to make the progress/busy indicator invisible?

Thanks,

Anders, Denmark

Base a custom theme on a built in one

Hi everyone!

I am trying to build a custom theme which is based on "OfficeSIlver" - or any other built-in theme... My first approach was to simply copy the according theme project to my solution and then run a "Search & Replace" to replace "Office_Silver" to "Office_Custom". I changed the "Build"-Settings of the project (assembly-name and default-namespace) accordingly.

Then I added a custom "Theme" class which derived from "Theme" and is named "Office_CustomTheme".
I referenced the new theme-project, instantiated the theme and set it as application-wide theme.

I get a LOAD of xaml-parsing-errors. Nothing seems to work right.
The least of my problems was the "external" namespace definition:
xmlns:external="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.External"

(which just does not exist)

or some mysterious "external:Office_SilverThemeExternal":
x:Key="{telerik:ThemeResourceKey ThemeType=external:Office_SilverThemeExternal , ElementType=telerik:RadButton}"

After fixing that (renaming to my new local theme) still nothing works as expected, xaml-files are referenced but not found - if that is fixed some other obsucre errors pop up. After that I just gave up.

I am very disappointed - since telerik advertises that everything is easily and effortless to customize (in Blend even)
The documentation link that "should" probably describe how it is done the right way is down.

I would very much appreciate a step by step description on how to achieve this.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Wolfgang

Validation errors not shown in GridView immediately

I'm using the MVVM pattern to build an application. I have a GridView that shows a collection of ViewModels that are connected to entities. These entities have validation implemented in them.

All this works, and the grid indicates cells that have validation errors by giving them a red border.

It is possible for the entities to be edited in another place in my application while they are displayed in the GridView. When this happens, these entities will be reloaded in the GridView and validated again. This works and I have verified that the validation errors are set as they should.

However, the GridView doesn't show the validation error immediately. If a cell that is visible has an error, the red border is not displayed. But if I scroll the GridView so that the cell is no longer visible, and then scroll it back into view, the red border appears!

Somehow I need to tell the GridView to update the validation errors. How can I do that?

Drag and Drop DragCue Change

Is there a way that I can use the built in Drag and Drop handler while Dragging and Dropping in a RadTreeView, while modifying the DragCue message? I have a couple of my own rules that I use in a PreviewDragEnded function, and I would like to change the DragCue to show what is allowed or not.

For example, if I have a tree with
Tree
--Nest
---Bird
---Bird2

I can set the PreviewDragEnded function to check that you don't drop a Nest into a bird. If you do, then I use e.handled = true and ignore the drag and drop action. I would like for the DragCue to show that it is not allowed first, instead of just not allowing it after the mouse button is released. I can do this if I write the DragQuery, DragInfo, DropQuery, and DropInfo functions, but I want to use the Rad versions of these functions that already exist (except for the modified DragCue, of course).

Thanks for your help.
Scott

Event trigger when FilteredSource is updated

Is there currently a way to trigger an event when the FilteredSource has been updated by the DataFilter? Something like a CollectionChanged event or FilteredCompleted.

Thanks,

Missing Documentation?

I tried to look up the documentation for this new class, but realized that it is not posted: (see http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/introduction.html). Perhaps the link is missing?

Changing Control type durring AutoGen

Hello All,

I need to change the control type durring AutoGeneration of a property to a ListBox. In my case, I have an 'int' property which is the primary key in a list table. Since the table changes from time to time, I can't use an Enum type. So how can I change the control type at run-time?
