Hi,
I'm very new on working with Telerik products.  The past few days i'm working with RadDataFilter and custom editors but I stuck with the following problem.

My custom editor is a usercontrol witch has a dependency property called SelectedDateRange of type DateRange. The DateRange is a class with two properties

 

Public Class DateRange

        Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged

 

#Region "INotifyPropertyChanged Implementation"

        Public Event PropertyChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs) Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged

        Protected Sub OnPropertyChanged(ByVal propertyname As String)

            RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyname))

        End Sub

#End Region

        Private _beginDate As Date?

        <DataMember()>

        Public Property BeginDate() As Date?

            Get

                Return _beginDate

            End Get

            Set(ByVal value As Date?)

                _beginDate = value

                OnPropertyChanged("BeginDate")

            End Set

        End Property

 

 

        Private _endDate As Date?

        <DataMember()>

        Public Property EndDate() As Date?

            Get

                Return _endDate

            End Get

            Set(ByVal value As Date?)

                _endDate = value

                OnPropertyChanged("EndDate")

            End Set

        End Property

 

        Public Function HasRange() As Boolean

            Return BeginDate.HasValue Or EndDate.HasValue

        End Function

 

    End Class

 

Using your example i'm trying to bind the SelectedDateRange with the Value Property of the FilterDescriptor using the following statement

<DataTemplate x:Key="DateRangeBlockEditor">

            <AhsSysUIControls:DateRangeBlock SelectedDateRange="{Binding Value,Mode=TwoWay}" />

        </DataTemplate>

It seems that this doesn't work as i get always an unsetValue. The bottom line is that i want the FilterDescriptor to carry the DateRange because later i iterate all the FilterDescriptors to create an SQL where statement. Any ideas?

Thanks Sotiris

I seem to be getting an error when trying to filter on a Number column and first typing the period characater for a decimal point. I can recreate it in your Demo program by going to the GridView > Click Events Demo and typing a period(.) in the UnitPrice filter.

Any work arounds to fix this?

I want to create an application that contains one or more sidebars that are "pinnable". I don't need any groups or sections, just a container that can be docked on any edge and and pinned open or float.

Is there a Telerik control that does this?

Hi

If I undock a RadPaneGroup, the Pane always jumps to the rightmost Pane in the group. Can I stop this behaviour?

Thanks

Hi Support,

We have a requirement like select multiple items from combobox and bind it to collection.what ever items selected from combobox should be displayed in chart.Please provide some solution for this.Thanks in Advance.

How do i use the SelectionChanged in RadTabControl when using MVVM?
When I select a TabItem in a RadTabControl, I want to select a specific RadRibbonTab in my RadRibbonBar.

Hi!

I am using RadTransitionControl to perform transitions between heterogeneous views that generally contain pure WPF controls, but that sometimes also use interop-based controls.

I detected recently an unmanaged memory leak in my application when using RadTransition with a WPFChromium-based control (http://wpfchromium.codeplex.com). The application is stable when performing transitions between pure WPF controls. It is still stable when performing transitions between views that contain DirectShow-based controls. However, whenever I use WPFChromium in my transitions, there is a significant, constant unmanaged memory leak (about 20MB/hour with transitions occuring every 30 seconds).

If I take RadTransitionControl off my application, it becomes stable, even when using WPFChromium.

The interesting part is that it does not seem a transition-related problem, because if I keep setting the Content property always to the same view (i.e., the transition does not occur), the unmanaged leak persists. It seems that just using the RadTransitionControl as a container of WPFChromium triggers the leak.


I collected heap data with WinDgb, and there are two kinds of memory blocks leaking:

a) 48 bytes long blocks leaking about 100.000 units every hour. This is the code stack leaking those blocks:
        7744dd6c ntdll!RtlAllocateHeap+0x00000274
        6ebe13ff wpfgfx_v0300+0x000013ff
        6ebe7e69 wpfgfx_v0300!MilChannel_CommitChannel+0x0000008b
        6ebe8940 wpfgfx_v0300!MilChannel_CommitChannel+0x00000b62
        6ebe89bf wpfgfx_v0300!MilChannel_CommitChannel+0x00000be1
        6ebe891b wpfgfx_v0300!MilChannel_CommitChannel+0x00000b3d

        6ebedede wpfgfx_v0300!MilChannel_AppendCommandData+0x00000961

        6ebe7437 wpfgfx_v0300!MilResource_SendCommand+0x00002543
        6ebe74b6 wpfgfx_v0300!MilResource_SendCommand+0x000025c2
b) 3686384 bytes long blocks leaking about 2/3 units every hour. This is the code stack leaking those blocks:

        7744dd6c ntdll!RtlAllocateHeap+0x00000274
        73c62423 WindowsCodecs!WPF::ProcessHeapImpl::Alloc+0x00000016
        73c63491 WindowsCodecs!WPF::HrMalloc+0x0000004b
        73c663ba WindowsCodecs!CSystemMemoryBitmap::HrInit+0x0000006c
        73d0d5b9 WindowsCodecs!CLateBitmap::FinalizeBitmap+0x0000002e
        73d0d6b9 WindowsCodecs!CLateBitmap::CopyPixels+0x0000004a
        73d00f7b WindowsCodecs!IWICBitmapSource_CopyPixels_Proxy+0x00000023


Are you aware situations leading to unmanaged memory leaks with WPFChromium or any other C++ wrapper-based control? Do you suggest any work-around or further debugging?


Thanks!

I have a RadGridView:

As you can see, the grid is bound to a DataTable object called RecordList and the SelectedItem is bound to a DataRow object called CurrentRecord. The RecordList DataTable is generated dynamically and can have any combination of user-defined columns and rows. Because I don't know the columns ahead of time, I use AutoGenerateColumns to take care of that.

The first column will always be an ID column that identifies the row and is hidden from the user by canceling the AutoGenerateColumn event whenever the column header is "ID". The rest of the columns are user defined. 

Up to there, it all works. The problem comes when I need to create a custom column type to be auto-generated. Some columns, as defined by the user, need to display other UI controls such as buttons in the cell. To do this, I've created a RecordColumn class that extends Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn. It is defined as follows:

Nothing fancy at the moment. Just trying to get it working so all it does is return an empty StackPanel to go in the cell when it's created. 

Now, here's my AutoGeneratingColumns event code, which I use to instantiate the RecordColumn.

The first time the RadGridView is loaded, everything looks fine. The user-defined columns are displayed as expected. If I do anything that causes the RecordList DataTable binding to update (such as adding or deleting a row), the AutoGeneratingColumns event fires again and doubles the columns. I can keep doing this, causing the columns to double every time. 

I can trace the AutoGeneratingColumns event being fired each time and it always (except for the "ID" column) goes into the code that creates a new RecordColumn. I'm guessing that's where it's creating the extra columns each time. Looking through the e.Column object though, I don't see anything that tells me I don't need to generate this column again. Each time the column type is RadGridViewColumn even if I've previously changed them all to RecordColumn, so that doesn't work. 

I have verified that my DataTable on the back-end only contains one set of the columns. This is purely on the UI side. 

If I don't use the custom column, everything works fine and when I update the binding the columns don't duplicate. 

I'm using several RadTabItems who's content is loaded when the tab is selected the first time.

From a visual point of view, everything works fine, the right content is displayed. However, I would like to automate some UI tests on these RadTabItems which does not work.

-I see the RadTabItems with the UISpy
-If I select a RadTabItem, the correct content is displayed but the corresponding container in the UISpy is not shown. The UISpy is not notified about the changed content.
-If I open a pop-up in my application under test, close it, the UISpy sees the content of the RadTabItem
-If I simply replace the RadTabItem by a standard WFP TabItem, everything works as expected.

Hi,

I am developing a hierarchical data grid where by the values of the parent row can show/hide certain columns. I did setup a bindable value from the parent row's object  to the IsVisible property of the GridViewDataColumn but the binding never gets invoked even though all conditions are met correctly. How do I go about achieving this?

Thanks,
Farhan
