updating the multiSelectBehvior form the view model

Hi there.

So if you reference this post, http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/add-to-selecteditems-via-behavior.aspx you will see that Maya gave us some sample code with the custom behavior that lets us manipulate the selected items of a gridview from the code behind, i.e. changing the selected items list shows up on the grid as selected. the only problem is that we are changing the list of items that the SelectedItems property is bound to inside of the view model and not on the code behind for the page so we can't say something like

//This is from the window.xaml.cs file

((MyDataContext)

this.LayoutRoot.DataContext).SelectedItems.Add(((MyDataContext)this.LayoutRoot.DataContext).Data.Where(x => x.ID == 4).First());

Any ideas on how we can make this work? I tried something like this in the view model

//This is from the view model

public

LineItem SelectedItem

{

get

{

return selectedItem;

}

set

{

selectedItem = value;

selectedItems.Clear();

var list = Data.Where(x => x.OrderId == value.OrderId);

foreach (var lineItem in list)

{

SelecedItems.Add(lineItem);

}

OnPropertyChanged("SelectedItem");

}

but that doesn't work. There is something I am missing here, some sort of notification is taking place when you say - MyRadGridView.SelecedItems.Add() that doesn't take place from the view model even thought they are the same collection of objects. If I could figure out what that is maybe I could figure out how to make this thing work.

Thanks for any help or suggestions...

Programatically modifying a RadDocument prior to assigning it to a RadRichTextBox

For a proof of concept linked to my question described here (see my last post) I have begun experimenting with modifying a deserialized RadDocument prior to assigning it to the control. The idea behind this is to store links to external resources using the standard HyperlinkRangeStart-HyperLink-HyperlinkRangeStop concept and transforming those hyperlinks into custom controls hosted in InlineUIContainer objects.To test if this can work I've tried the following:

var doc = provider.Import(xml);

var hyperLinks = doc.EnumerateChildrenOfType<HyperlinkRangeStart>();
foreach (var link in hyperLinks)
{
var parent = link.Parent;
parent.Children.Remove(link);

InlineUIContainer container = new InlineUIContainer(new Button(), new Size(400, 300));
parent.Children.Add(container);
}

doc.History.Clear();

// BOOOM
doc.UpdateLayout();

This will crash in UpdateLayout or when I assign the document to a RadRichTextBox with the following exception:

InvalidOperationException "Stack Empty"

Problem with TileState Converter

Hi, I am working on an application based on RadTileView, similar to the 'Example' that Telerik provides in

http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radtileview-howto-use-fluidcontentcontrol-in-tileview.html

My problem is that raises an exception when TileState property has to be bound through 'tileStateConverter'. If I change the value to Maximized, Minimized o Restored does not crash. The exception is a XamlParseException: A error raises when setting the property ''. (More or less cause the text is displayed to me in Spanish).

Here is the xaml file:

<UserControl.Resources>

<local:FluidContentStateConverter x:Key="fluidContentStateConverter" />

<local:TileStateConverter x:Key="tileStateConverter" />

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Pad_BorderBrush" Color="#FF242699"/>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Pad_Background" Color="#FFFFFF"/>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Pad_Header_Background" Color="#FF242699"/>

<Style x:Key="DefaultHeaderedContentControlStyle" TargetType="telerik:HeaderedContentControl">

<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1 0 1 1"/>

<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource Pad_BorderBrush}"/>

<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource Pad_Background}"/>

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>

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

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

<ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:HeaderedContentControl">

<Grid>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>

<RowDefinition Height="*"/>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Border Background="{StaticResource Pad_Header_Background}" CornerRadius="4 4 0 0" Padding="10 7" Grid.Row="0">

<ContentPresenter ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}"/>

</Border>

<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" CornerRadius="0 0 4 4" Grid.Row="1">

<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>

</Border>

</Grid>

</ControlTemplate>

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate">

<TextBox Text="{Binding Login}" />

</DataTemplate>

<DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate">

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl ContentChangeMode="Manual" State="{Binding ContentState, Converter={StaticResource fluidContentStateConverter}}">

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl.SmallContent>

<TextBlock Text="Peque"></TextBlock>

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl.SmallContent>

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl.Content>

<TextBlock Text="Normal"></TextBlock>

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl.Content>

<telerik:RadFluidContentControl.LargeContent>

<TextBlock Text="Big"></TextBlock>

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl.LargeContent>

</telerik:RadFluidContentControl>

</DataTemplate>

<Style x:Key="ItemContainerStyle" TargetType="telerik:RadTileViewItem">

<Setter Property="TileState" Value="{Binding ContentState, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource tileStateConverter}}" />

</Style>

</UserControl.Resources>

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="{StaticResource FondoMalva}">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

<ColumnDefinition Width="150" />

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<telerik:HeaderedContentControl Height="300" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="HeaderedControlUsers" Style="{StaticResource DefaultHeaderedContentControlStyle}"

Header="Users">

<telerik:RadTileView Name="RadTileViewUsers"

ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplate}"

ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ItemContainerStyle}"

ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}"

MinimizedColumnWidth="200"

MinimizedItemsPosition="Right"

MinimizedRowHeight="200"/>

</telerik:HeaderedContentControl>

And here the converter for TileState property:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Data;

using Telerik.Windows.Controls;

namespace NCOP_Mgt

{

public class TileStateConverter : IValueConverter

{

public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

{

var contentState = (ContentState)value;

switch (contentState)

{

case ContentState.SmallContent:

return TileViewItemState.Minimized;

case ContentState.NormalContent:

return TileViewItemState.Restored;

case ContentState.LargeContent:

return TileViewItemState.Maximized;

default:

return TileViewItemState.Restored;

}

public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

{

var tileState = (TileViewItemState)value;

switch (tileState)

{

case TileViewItemState.Minimized:

return ContentState.SmallContent;

case TileViewItemState.Restored:

return ContentState.NormalContent;

case TileViewItemState.Maximized:

return ContentState.LargeContent;

default:

return ContentState.NormalContent;

}

I do know what is happening because for FluidContentStateConverter and its conversion seems is fine..
Thank so much (in advance).

Unable to get status to chnage to DropComplete

I have used the example to drag windows explorer files by enabling the EnableNativeDrag option. I added my DropQuery and DropInfo handlers and they seem to be firing fine but the status is always DragPossible. I am dragging a file from my desktop to a ListView with a GridView, GridViewColumns and CellTemplates defined. I have allowed drop on both the ListView and ListViewItems and nothing seems to allow the status to change to DropComplete. Help!

RadDragAndDropManager.SetAllowDrop(theListView, true);

RadDragAndDropManager.AddDropQueryHandler(theListView, OnAttachmentsDropQuery);

RadDragAndDropManager.AddDropInfoHandler(theListView, OnAttachmentsDropInfo);

protected virtual void OnAttachmentsDropInfo(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DropComplete)

{

StringCollection fileList = e.Options.DropDataObject.GetFileDropList();

foreach (string file in fileList)

{

//Take only the file name.

string

fileName = file.Substring(file.LastIndexOf(System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar) + 1, file.Length - file.LastIndexOf(System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar) - 1);                }

}

private void OnAttachmentsDropQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)

{

e.QueryResult = e.Options.DropDataObject != null && e.Options.DropDataObject.ContainsFileDropList();

}

Pages in wrong order

Hi,

sometimes, when paging fast through the items in the RadCarousel, the pages seem to have the wrong order: The topmost page is overlaped by a page that is further in the background. This behaviour is best reproducible by paging with the mouse wheel forward and backward fast.
I can reproduce this even in the "First Look" example in the Telerik WPF Demos(Q1/2011).

I've looked at the Z-order of the items: it's not correct.

Is there a way to get around this?

Greetings,
J.S.

Can I disable a RadTreeViewItem but still have its children enabled?

I have a hierarchy of items and when I double click one item I asynchronously open the document represented by that item in a working area. During the (potentially) long open action I disable that item so the user can't double click it again, or rename it or delete it etc.

However I've seen that its children also get disabled by this and I don't want this.

Can I just disable one item without having its children disabled?

Rendering artifacts with WPF 4 TextFormattingMode

Using WPF4's TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" to improve overall text clarity seems introduce rendering artifacts with the RadRichTextBox as shown in the screenshot. Since in my opinion TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" greatly improves the overall impression of a WPF app it would be nice if the RadRichTextBox would handle this correctly.

GridView columns are collapsing while loading for few seconds

Hi Team,

We are using telerik rad gridview (Version 2011.1.0419) in application. It is working very fine. The problem that we are facing is, the columns of gridview are getting collapsed(to very narrow) for few seconds while loading data into it, later the columns widths are adjusting automatically.

Requirement is When the scrollable grid is first displayed, the columns should be displayed in their final form without the collapsing and expanding of columns.

Please let us know what is the resolution for this. I am placing xaml code that we have used.

Also, Please let us know how to display the grid only after loading as a quick solution

<telerik:RadGridView Name="searchResultsGridView" ColumnWidth="*" CanUserDeleteRows="False" IsReadOnly="True" IsFilteringAllowed="False" CanUserSortColumns="True" CanUserInsertRows="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" RowLoaded="OnSearchResultsGridLoaded" SelectionChanged="OnSearchResultsSelectionChanged" RowUnloaded="OnSearchResultsGridUnLoaded" Height="Auto" Width="Auto" Margin="5,3,5,0" Style="{StaticResource GridViewStyle}" HeaderRowStyle="{StaticResource HeaderStyle}" ItemsSource="{Binding}">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns >

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Name="createDateCol" Width="Auto" Header="Last Updated" DataMemberBinding="{Binding CreatedDate}" HeaderCellStyle="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderStyle}" CellStyle="{StaticResource gridcellStyle}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn Name="lastNameCol" Width="Auto" Header="Last Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" HeaderCellStyle="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderStyle}" CellStyle="{StaticResource gridcellStyle}"/>

<telerik:GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn Name="firstNameCol" Width="Auto" Header="First Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" HeaderCellStyle="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderStyle}" CellStyle="{StaticResource gridcellStyle}"/>
