I need a dialog box in WPF where I can select a folder or location in system. I used RadOpenFolderDialog but I also need Opened event handler similar to DialogParameters telerik control.

Need Opened event handler which points to method that will be called when the Opened event of the Window is fired. Please suggest solution for it.

Also if there is any other dialog box telerik control which is suitable for my requirement, suggest me.

I am using TelerikPager with latest version of required nuget package. Setting all required properties like PageSize, Total, ButtonCount, Page, PageChanged. 

On WPF UI, It is showing all pages along with next & previous button but it not showing total page count like "1 - 8 of 24".  Need suggestion or help to resolve this issue.

                <TelerikPager PageSize=""
                              Total=""
                              ButtonCount=""
                              Page=""
                              PageChanged=""
                              ShowInfo="true"></TelerikPager>

Hello,

I'm using Telerik for WPF, version 2020.1.218, and I am using  RadGridView with filters. One of the colums is a Date type, and when I am changing the culture in order to translate the application, the filter is correctly translated. However, if I click on the calendar icon to select the date, that component is not being translated. Is this a bug?

Kind regards,

Román.

Hello Telerik Team,
I am currently working with TreeListView in a WPF application and I am facing an issue related to row background color overriding when a row is selected.
In my application, certain rows need to have a custom background color depending on their type (for example: LocalFile and RemoteFile). The custom color works correctly when the row is not selected.
However, when the row is selected, the default RadTreeListView selection background color overrides the custom color, and the File-specific color is no longer visible.
My goal is to preserve the custom background color when the row is selected.

Below is a simplified version of the style currently used:

<Grid.Resources>
 
    <​Style TargetType="telerik:TreeListViewRow">
 
        <!-- Default row color based on data -->
        <Setter Property="Background">
            <Setter.Value>
                <Binding Path="FileSource">
                    <Binding.Converter>
                        <converter:SourceTypeToColorConverter/>
                    </Binding.Converter>
                </Binding>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
 
        <Setter Property="MouseOverBackground" Value="LightBlue"/>
 
        <​Style.Triggers>
 
            <!-- Default selected row color -->
            <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
            </Trigger>
 
            <!-- Selected color for local files -->
            <MultiDataTrigger>
                <MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
                    <Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True"/>
                    <Condition Binding="{Binding FileSource}" Value="LocalFile"/>
                </MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGreen"/>
            </MultiDataTrigger>
 
            <!-- Selected color for remote files -->
            <MultiDataTrigger>
                <MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
                    <Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True"/>
                    <Condition Binding="{Binding FileSource}" Value="RemoteFile"/>
                </MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightYellow"/>
            </MultiDataTrigger>
 
        <​/Style.Triggers>
 
    <​/Style>
 
</Grid.Resources>
The issue occurs when the row becomes selected. The control applies the default selection background, which overrides these custom styles.
Could you please advise on the recommended way to maintain custom row background colors for specific items even when they are selected in TreeListView?
Any guidance or best practice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

In a RadLayoutControl I use LayoutControlTabGroup.
I can set the background of the Item's but not on the "empty" space, is there some way to do that.

  <telerik:RadLayoutControl >
      <telerik:LayoutControlTabGroup Background="White">
          <telerik:LayoutControlTabGroupItem Header="Tab 1" Background="Red">
              <Button Content="Item 1" />
          </telerik:LayoutControlTabGroupItem>
          <telerik:LayoutControlTabGroupItem Header="Tab 2"  Background="Blue">
              <Button Content="Item 2" />
          </telerik:LayoutControlTabGroupItem>
      </telerik:LayoutControlTabGroup>
  </telerik:RadLayoutControl>

I have a RadGridView and I have implemented IDataErrorInfo on the view model.    Unfortunately, when the user types in something invalid and an error appears, the message is cut off.  I want to style it -- style... something -- so that the full error message will show.  But I don't know what property to set or what to style

This is how my RadStepProgressBar appears for some of the steps.

When I change the Height (or StepSpacing or Margin) of the RadStepProgressBar control in XAML hot reload, the appearance corrects itself.



This doesn't always happen, but only sometimes. I have set the binding for the ItemsSource property of RadStepProgressBar to my steps collection, and set the SelectedIndex using binding whenever a step is completed

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I open a RadOpenFileDialog  setting FileName with the full path of an existing file.
In the edit box in the low part of dialog I can see the path, and, if I click ok I get the file selected.
But in the list of files the path is not selected (the folder is also correctly set).

How can I select correctly the file and automatic scroll the view in order to see the seelction

Thank you
Luigi

Create a new WPF project, add a RadDocking to the page, then add a DocumentHost to the RadDocking, like so:

<telerik:RadDocking HasDocumentHost="True">
    <telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
        <telerik:RadSplitContainer>
            <telerik:RadPaneGroup>
                <telerik:RadDocumentPane Header="Document 1" Title="Document 1" />
            </telerik:RadPaneGroup>
        </telerik:RadSplitContainer>
    </telerik:RadDocking.DocumentHost>
</telerik:RadDocking>

Run the app in debug mode and you'll get the following error in the VIsual Studio output window:

System.Windows.Data Error: 4 : Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=DropDownButtonElement'. BindingExpression:Path=IsChecked; DataItem=null; target element is 'DropDownMenu' (Name='DropDownMenuElement'); target property is 'IsOpen' (type 'Boolean')

Using version 2011.1.419.40. Noticed that there was a similar problem with the RadTabControl (see http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/tabcontrol/strange-error-message-in-debug-view.aspx). Can't reproduct the same error with RadTabControl. Suspect this is a similar issue. Doesn't cause any problems but would be nice to remove the error.

Can can anyone else confirm this?
