Relating the GUI for an Appointment to the underlying Appoingment's Start and End proeprties

I have implemented a class that inherits from the ScheduleView.Appointment class. The only thing that I added to this class is a constructor and 2 properties (Start & End).

When I drag an appointment within the ScheduleView, the Start and End properties (that overload the base class's Start and End properties) are not modified....the break points are never hit.

Since the class that inherits from ScheduleView.Appointment is also going to be wrapping my Model's "Appointment" class...I would really appreciate someone telling me how to get the GUI to update the Start and End properties when you drag the Appointment's start/end points to a new time value.

This is my very very simple appointment class...the start and end properties are never set when I drag an appointment in the ScheduleView:

Public Class TimeZoneAppointment

Inherits Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView.Appointment

Private _myModelAppointment As ModelAppointment

Public Overloads Property Start As Date

Get

Return MyBase.Start

End Get

Set(ByVal value As Date)

'this will also modify the model appointment's start property

MyBase.Start = value

End Set

End Property

Public Overloads Property [End] As Date

Get

Return MyBase.End

End Get

Set(ByVal value As Date)

'this will also modify the model appointment's end property

MyBase.End = value

End Set

End Property

Public Sub New(ByVal ma As ModelAppointment)

MyBase.New()

_myModelAppointment = ma

MyBase.Start = _myModelAppointment.startDate

MyBase.End = _myModelAppointment.endDate

Dim recurrencePattern As New RecurrencePattern()

recurrencePattern.Frequency = RecurrenceFrequency.Weekly

Dim recurrenceRule As New RecurrenceRule(recurrencePattern)

MyBase.RecurrenceRule = recurrenceRule

End Sub

End Class

Thanks for your time and help!

RadDocking with GridSplitter

Let me explain the scenario:

In a WPF-Window i have a grid with one row and three columns. The columns are used as follow:
Column 0 => RadDocking
Column 1 => GridSplitter
Column 2 => A ContentControl

When moving the gridsplitter, the raddocking will be resized well. But:

The RadDocking contains for example two panes. If i minimize the panes, they are shown on the left site - as expected. But the GridSplitter did not "follow to the left".

Okay - the RadDocking is "working" in the area defined by grid column 0 and may be it did not know anything about other controls in the grid that must be resized if all panes in a raddocking are minimzed. Is there a solution?

I have a small example app that shows the problem at runtime - below the xaml of the window.

Regards
Jan Waiz

No Data Series error when using custom layout for RadChart

I'm trying to have the Legend lay on top of the chart area. To my understanding the following code should work. I am setting my data in codebehind. If I change the value of UseDefaultLayout to True the chart control displays the correct chart by using the default ChartArea and default ChartLegend etc. However, when I set UseDefaultLayout to False, like in the code below, the ChartArea displays the error No Series Data. The ChartLegend is located at the desired location so I need to know why my data is not being displayed. Please help me understand why this is not working and how to fix it.

<DataTemplate x:Key="ChartDataTemplate">

<telerik:RadChart x:Name="Chart" UseDefaultLayout="False">

<Grid>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="1*" />

<RowDefinition Height="19*" />

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="19*" />

<ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<telerik:ChartLegend x:Name="LegendArea"

Grid.Row="1"

Grid.Column="0"

HorizontalAlignment="Right"

VerticalAlignment="Top" />

<telerik:ChartArea LegendName="LegendArea" />

</Grid>

</telerik:RadChart>

</DataTemplate>

Thank you,
Danny

Horizontal scrolling issue with Q1 2011

Hi,

We've had issues with horizontal scrolling in our RadGridViews with the Q1 2011 version of the WPF package for .NET 3.5 (both the first one and SP 1).

In our grids that reside inside RadExpanders (if that matters) we have several columns which in lower resolutions requires scrolling horizontally. We bind them as GridViewDataColumns. In some we have DataTemplates, but in most we just do a normal bind using the DataMemberBinding.

Until you start scrolling everything looks fine like it did in Q3 2010 and earlier versions, but when scrolling horizontally by dragging the scrollbar with the mouse especially the smaller columns tend to grow and be very wide instead of keeping the preferred width according to the content of the columns.

So now for the second time we have to revert to Q3 2010 until this gets fixed.

Has something changed which require us to add something to the XAML to make them keep the preferred width or is this a bug that will be fixed in future versions?

rowstyle isexpandable

Hi,

I have set up a rowstyle for my radtreelistview,
however, the rows without any children are still displayed without the expand arrow infront of them

the reason for this is because I have implemented the loadondemand or lazy loading function using MVVM in the control
in order to make all the rows expandable, i have put a dummy child in each row's view model object
however, this throws me object not initialised error when I tried to filter the rows

the code below describe how i set up the rowstyle

<telerik:RadTreeListView.RowStyle>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:TreeListViewRow}">

<Setter Property="IsExpandable" Value="True" />

<Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding IsExpanded, Mode=TwoWay}" />

<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}" />

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

<Style.Triggers>

<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">

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

</Trigger>

</Style.Triggers>

</Style>

</telerik:RadTreeListView.RowStyle>

please can you advise what was wrong? note I don't want to set IsExpandable as shown in the treelistview loadondemand demon as I'm using MVVM and want to keep the code behind clean

btw, I'm using radcontrol q1 2011

Cheers

Error Installing WPF VSExtensions 2011.1.422.0

Since we can't change the install directory there is no way to install it, however the 419 and previous versions did work.

istristatemode different for different part of the treeview ?

Hello,

I use a treeview with IsTristatemode="true", and binding CheckState property, all work's fine. For 90% of my nodes.

I have some particular nodes that are represented as hierarchical but they are not. In other word "Parts" need to behave "hierarchically", but Variable_other not.

I'd like to obtain these configurations :

[-] Part1
| -- [ ] Variable1
| -- [x] Variable2_other
|-- [ ] Variable3
| -- [ ] Variable4

[-] Part1
| -- [ ] Variable1
| -- [ ] Variable2_other
|-- [x] Variable3
| -- [ ] Variable4

I've tried to set IsTristatemode to false, but because of hierarchy, if I check "Variable3", "Variable2_other" is automatically checked and tristate indeterminate is not shown for Part (whereas i set in code the null value for checkstate).

Regards,
Aurore

Make a cell bold

I want to make the text in certain rows of my grid bold, based on a certain property of my object. How can I create a style that has a property that I can bind to so that I can achieve this result? I don't want to change the look at all of the GridViewCell's, just make the text inside of them bold or not bold.

EDIT: It got it to work by using a DataTrigger.

    
                    <Style TargetType="{x:Type GridView:GridViewCell}">  
        
                        <Style.Triggers> 
        
                            <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=HasRead}" Value="False">  
        
                                  <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>  
        
                            </DataTrigger>                  
        
                        </Style.Triggers>            
        
                    </Style>
