Hi, there.

Drag&Drop between two floating windows doesn't seem to be supported in WPF yet.
Reading old posts, it suggests that it will be improved/supported post-2010 Q1.
Is it supported in the latest release?
Is there a sample how to do this?

I read a post below talking about setting,
RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag = true;
but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.
Is there something extra I need to do to enable native drag?

While I'm at it let me ask one more question.
The question above pertains to two different windows from the same application.
I also like to support drag and drop between two different telerik application.
How is this possible?

Thanks a lot!

-Chris

Win 7 touch screen support for the docking control

Right now the docking control does not support the Windows 7 touch events.
Because the docking control is a container that uses a large part of the screen it would be a great candiate to have support for Windows 7 touch events, What I would like to see is move, resize, mass so you can throw a window to the other side of the screen or off the screen, and possibly also rotation for touch tablets where you have people on both sides of the tablet.

Select a specific cell programmatically

I would think this would be as simple as a very short line of code,however there seems to be a substantial layer of complexity involved, or so it would seem. All I need to do is set a specific data cell into edit mode (programmatically), I have the row, and I know the column but none that is of any use. More in depth documentation would be nice. All we are given in the documentation is "this.radGridView.BeginEdit();" and all that does is set the first item in the selected row into edit mode, I don't want that cell. I want the second and third. Any ideas would be great other than those referencing deprecated code. I am using the current version of Telerik WPF.

Trying to delete directory containing an image being displayed in carousel

Hello,
I have added a delete button to the to each item in my Carousel. When the user clicks this button, I am trying to delete a directory on the file system that contains the preview image that is being displayed in the carousel. Without surprise, I am getting an IOException saying "The process cannot access the file 'preview.png' because it is being used by another process.". Do you have any ideas or suggestions to make the RadCarousel release the lock on this .png in the directory?

RadDataFilter Performance

Hello,

I'm using a RadDataFilter with a RadTreeListView and I'm seeing long stalls/loading times when creating or modifying filters.

The data is hierarchical and whenever a filter is added to the control, all the items are expanded. Modifying the criterion for the filter also takes forever once focus is gone out of the text block.

If it helps, I'm binding the Source property of my DataFilter to the Items property of the RadTreeListView, and the list view has its ItemsSource set to an observable collection of items.
The list doesn't have that many items in it, even a small list takes some time. (100+ items).

Are you guys aware of this performance issue?

Thanks

Create Native Image?

It is my 3rd year of Telerik subscription. There were moments in early days when I questioned myself whether to use Telerik or not. Mostly because it required too much resources and too slow. We know it is not the case any more.

Although I am no longer using Telerik WinForms, it is unbelievably fast!
I suspect it is mainly because it creates native images during the installation. Is it?

I wonder if you guys have any plan to do the same for other packages such as WPF and Silverlight.
I've tried to use NGEN.exe to do it myself to no avail, probably because I had other 3rd party libraries as well. In the meantime, can any of you provide a simple tutorial or something like that?
I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Change Chart Type

Hi - I have a chart defined in XAML that is bound to an observable collection. The chart is defined as a line chart. I would like to make the chart type to be selectable, such as being able to change the chart from a line chart to a bar chart while keeping the data bindings. I have been trying to accomplish this by changing the series mappings and series definitions in the code behind, but seem to lose the data binding when the new chart is drawn. How is this accomplished ?

Thanks
