How to prevent MapPinPoint from moving the map?

I'm adding MapPinPoint objects to the map but every time map tries to focus the newly added pinpoint and therefore pans the map.
I don't want this behavior so how we can prevent it from automatically panning to the newly added location?

Selecting an item works only once

Hallo,

i have a problem with a RadComboBox. It's ItemsSource is an ObservableCollection<ThemeInfo>. The RadComboBox is a part of a RadRibbonBar. I bound my RibbonBarViewModel to the RadRibbonBar's DataContext property.

Here is the xaml code for my RadComboBox:

<telerik:RadComboBox
                            Name="themesRadComboBox"
                            Width="100" 
                            ItemsSource="{Binding ThemeInfos}"
                            SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedThemeInfo, Mode=TwoWay}"
                            Command="{Binding ChangeApplicationThemeCommand}"
                            DisplayMemberPath="DisplayName">
                        </telerik:RadComboBox>

If i select an item it works fine, but if i do this the second time, DropDownList of RadComboBox stays closed. If the RadComboBox has focus and i use the arrow keys it also works as expected. Any ideas to solve this?

Bind X axis label Width to ActualWidth of Bar in Chart

I need to trim the text the item labels of the x axis to the same width as the bars of my chart. Some of the labels could be quite long, so the end of one label could overlap the beginning of the next (Note: I don’t want to rotate these labels). It also needs to be able to resize if the window size changes or if the amount of bars changes.

On my template I have set the texttrimming to use CharacterEllipsis, but obviously this only works if the width is set. So I would like to bind the width of the x axis label to the ActualWidth of the Bar (or Candle).

Using Snoop I can see the ActualWidth of PART_MainContainer and a few other PART_ containers that change size with the size of window. So how do I bind to one of these PART_s? If this can be achieved using just XAML that would be great. I don’t really have code behind skills.

This is what I have so far;

>>>> x-axis label style

<Style x:Key="AxisXLabel2D" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:AxisLabel2D}">

<Setter Property="ItemLabelStyle">

<Setter.Value>

<Style TargetType="TextBlock">

<Setter Property="TextTrimming" Value="None" />

<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="DemiBold" />

</Setter>

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type telerik:AxisLabel2D}">

<Border x:Name="border" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Transparent" CornerRadius="5,2,5,2"

Width="{Binding ElementName=PART_MainContainer, Path=ActualWidth}">

<TextBlock x:Name="labeltext" Style="{TemplateBinding ItemLabelStyle}">

<TextBlock.LayoutTransform>

<RotateTransform />

</TextBlock.LayoutTransform>

<TextBlock.Text>

<Binding>

</Binding>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

>>>>> RadChart

<telerik:RadChart x:Name="radChart">

<telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>

>>>>> The code behind that styles the chart

public MainWindow()

{

this.InitializeComponent();

this.radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.Loaded += ChartArea_Loaded;

// Insert code required on object creation below this point.

}

void ChartArea_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

ChartArea area = sender as ChartArea;

HorizontalAxisLabels2D axisLabelsContainer = area.FindChildByType<HorizontalAxisLabels2D>();

var axisLabels = axisLabelsContainer.ChildrenOfType<AxisLabel2D>();

System.Windows.Style style = this.Resources["AxisXLabel2D"] as System.Windows.Style;

foreach (var item in axisLabels)

{

item.Style = style;

}

Secondly, (not really a problem, but I thought I'd ask as I'm here!) Does anyone know how to make it so the CharacterEllipsis (or whatever ellipsis), could appear in the center of the word, not at the end?

For example, a full width label "Test Subject 001", trimmed to say "Test Subje..." is ok, but in this case it would be better if it said "Test Su...001". I know it's probably not the right place to post this, but any help would be great. Does anything in the RadControls do this?

Thank you in advance.

Selectable null value in GridViewComboBoxColumn

Hi,

How can I set properties of the ComboBox's in a GridViewComboBoxColumn.

I want to set the ClearSelectionButtonVisibility and ClearSelectionButtonContent properties as described in this thread
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/combobox/selectable-null-value-in-radcombobox.aspx

I have tried it with a style in the GridViewComboBoxColumn ressources:

<telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.Resources>

<Style TargetType="Controls:RadComboBox">

<Setter Property="ClearSelectionButtonVisibility" Value="Visible" />

<Setter Property="ClearSelectionButtonContent" Value="Test" />

</Style>

</telerik:GridViewComboBoxColumn.Resources>

This approach is not working.

Thanks and regards,

Franziska

How to navigation from an outer Grid to an child Grid

Hi,

I think it is not a difficult question but I'm searching now since hours and I'm really not able to find the answer.

I've an outer Grid and in the RowDetailsTemplate a RadTabControl and another Grid defined in the TabControl.
OuterGrid -> RowDetailsTemplate -> RadTabControl -> RadTabItem -> InnerGrid
My problem is now, how can I get a reference to the "child" Grid? At the moment can I access the outer grid with "this.outerGridName". The RadTabControl and the inner Grid have both unique names.

My questions are now:
1. How can I get a reference to the inner Grid.
2. Is it possible to navigate from the outer Grid with the RowDetailTemplate to the inner TabControl and Grid? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance
Walter
