hi there,

I'm fairly new to Telerik and WPF so I was wondering if someone could help me with a few questions.
My questions are related mainly to RadScheduleView Drag and Drop behavior and also the ability to show a RadContextMenu in a specific area of the radscheduleview control. I have included a sample project and the screenshot below.

1. If I drag a GridViewRow to a schedule view, is it possible to delete that row from my grid after it is dragged to the RadScheduleView ?
2. Is it possible to drag a GridViewRow and drag that row to the GroupHeader and then add a new resource ?
How can I do that?
3. Why does my custom ScheduleViewDragDropBehavior keep calling ConvertDraggedData
even if DragComplete is not actually reached in the OnDragInfo draghandler of my RadGridView ?
4. How can I setup my RadContextMenu to only show up in the GroupHeader to the left (I'm using Timeline View)?
Is it possible to hide ContextMenu when I right click the TimeViewDefinition area ?

Looking for input on what others do. I've implemented a custom provider. I create a large image in memory and then slice it into tiles. This works until the image is too big and I run out of memory. Surely there is a better way to do this. Ideally I would like something that creates the tiles directly to disk. Another 'problem' is that I'm doing things like 'DrawPolygon' onto my image so I don't have knowledge of exactly which pixels are being colored, otherwise I could easily figure which pixels to write to. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

I want to bind a chart to a table in sql server, is that possible in wpf for windows application?

Thanks in advance

When the user adds a new row to the GridView and then cancels the inserting process the event 'RowEditEnded' is called with "e.EditOperationType == Insert" and  "e.EditAction == Cancel".

Is there some way to get the BusinessObject behind the inserted row that was canceled?

e.EditedItem, e.NewData are both null.

Hi,
I am trying to bind a hierachical gridview using entity framework 4.0. (tables: Countries with Districts)
Whenever i try to add a child table definition to the main gridview  the ability to sort the child gridview is lost ( when setting the property relation):
d.Relation = new Telerik.Windows.Data.PropertyRelation("Districts");

If i manually add the datasource then sorting works perfectly. Is this the normal behaviour ? Am i doing something wrong?

GridViewTableDefinition d = new GridViewTableDefinition();
d.DataSource = new SofERPEntities().Districts.Where(z=>z.CountryId==5).ToList();   => sorting in child gridview works
 //d.Relation = new Telerik.Windows.Data.PropertyRelation("Districts");  => sorting in child gridview not working
this.radGridView1.ChildTableDefinitions.Add(d);

I'm trying to write an app where each part of the config is held in a usercontrol.  In moving this to WPF from winforms I thought it would look good to put the config tabbed in a ribbon at the top.

I tried using the ribbonbar but ran into a problem when a tab was selected that contained a usercontrol  I've now got the RibbonView and tried the same thing and run into the same problem.

My code is:



Where UserControl1 is an empty user control.

When I try to run this, I get the following error:

Specified element is already the logical child of another element. Disconnect it first.

The trace is:

The data renders just fine but the Click event does not fire...

Hi,

I using a MVVM environment and try to achieve an auto size of all columns depending on a user preselected mode.
Therefore I've bound the RadGridView.ColumnWidth to a Property in the ViewModel. As I change the value of the property the values of the grid is also changing but the existing Columns are not resized. To force the resize if have iterate to each Column an change the Width.
But is not the best thing to do in an MVVM concept. Is there any better solution for that?

I used the following in a console app to create and save Chart to png.
It works for LineSeries but the BarSeries is missing.
Please help.
