How to change celltype on AutoGenerated columns

How do I change the celltype/celledittype on autogenerated columns?
I've done the following but it doesn't work. It assigned the template, but doesn't seem to display the template.

private void fullyLoadedCostListRadGridView_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, GridViewAutoGeneratingColumnEventArgs e) {
    e.Column.CellTemplate = (DataTemplate)FindResource("telerikContentColumnTemplate");
}

Focus to textbox on form after editing a cell

I am editing a row in a RadGridView (WPF -- form application). I want to use the CellEditEnded event, when they are done editing a particular cell, I want to move the focus back to a textbox on the form. When the user hits Tab the CellEditEnded event fires and that seems to be the even to use.

I can trap for the column and when I call txtProductCode.Focus(); nothing happens. When I hit tab again the next cell in the same grid row has focus. So it is behaves like it needs to 'leave' the grid first.

Any thoughts?

private void gvCount_CellEditEnded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewCellEditEndedEventArgs e)

{

//if edit editing on Quantity cell, then position focus to product code -- edit end typically comes from when tab key is clicked

if (e.Cell.Column.UniqueName == "Quantity")

{

txtProductCode.Focus();

}

GridViewCheckBoxColumn IValueConverter support seems flawed

Hello,

We are binding a RadGridView to a property (Observable Collection of Entities) in an MVVM scenario. Within this grid we have a GridViewCheckBoxColumn that has a DataMemberBinding to a string property within our entities. Since the string is always "0" or "1" we use a ValueConverter to convert to Boolean - True/False in order to tick the checkbox. We found that the converter always calls the "Convert" method instead of the "ConvertBack" upon setting the value....

For test purposes we were binding a standard GridViewDataColumn to the same converter to ensure it is working properly which it does....

Example:

    
                <Grid> 
        
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        
                        <RowDefinition Height="0.913*"/>  
        
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions> 
        
                    <Expander Grid.Row="1" 
        
                        Header="Berthing Slots" 
        
                        IsExpanded="True" 
        
                        VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,4.988,0,0">  
        
                        <telerik:RadGridView x:Name="radBerthingSlots" 
        
                            AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
        
                            IsEnabled="True" 
        
                            ItemsSource="{Binding BerthingSlots}" 
        
                            SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedBerthingSlot, Mode=TwoWay}"   
        
                            AddingNewDataItem="radBerthingSlots_AddingNewDataItem"   
        
                            RowEditEnded="radBerthingSlots_RowEditEnded" Deleting="radBerthingSlots_Deleting">  
        
                            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
        
                                <telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn Header="Available" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=HtDiff, Converter={StaticResource HtDiffNumberConverter}, Mode=TwoWay}" /> 
        
                                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="HT Diff" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=HtDiff, Converter={StaticResource HtDiffNumberConverter}, Mode=TwoWay}" /> 
        
                            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
        
                        </telerik:RadGridView> 
        
                </Grid>

Now, when we change the value in the GridViewDataColumn the "ConvertBack" method is correctly (as expected) invoked....

When we do the same (ticking / unticking the checkbox on the GridViewCheckBoxColumn) it always calls the "Convert" method.....

Clearly that can't be right.... can you guys please help!

Many Thanks in advance.....

Regards

M.

Databinding with ItemsSource causes items to multiply

This works (default Microsoft toolbar):

<ToolBar ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Actions}"></ToolBar>

This does not:

<telerik:RadToolBar ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Actions}"></telerik:RadToolBar>

What i get is number of items x 2 when the toolbar is shown.

I notice that there are multiple questions revolving around this issue, but they are old. Is this still a problem in Telerik WPF controls, or am I missing something?

GridView Row Details Width Problem

I'm trying to force the row details presenter of my grid to be the full width of its parent row. This has actually has two parts to it. All my grids seem to have a column at the far left of the grid that I can't seem to remove. After that the grid in my row details seems to only take up as much room as it needs, it never expands to the space available. Its a bit difficult to explain so I've attached a screen shot of my problem. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!

Thanks

XmlDataProvider and DateTime column

I'm trialing the latest version of Telerik 2010.2 WPF. So my experience with the toolkit is limited. I'm having the following problem:

I'm using XmlDataProvider as the data source. One of the elements of the XML file contains dates
<Date>2010-10-30T01:01:01.0000000+08:00</Date>
I got around of the problem displaying those dates in a user friendly manner by handling AutoGeneratingColumn event and assigning a value converter to the Date column.

But what about filtering? I need to be able to filter the dates. I've tried to create a filter and specify member type as DateTime by for obvious reason the grid fails with invalid object type exception

var dtFilter = new FilterDescriptor("Date", FilterOperator.IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo, DateFrom);
dtFilter.MemberType = typeof(DateTime);
_filterDescriptior.FilterDescriptors.Add(dtFilter);

So my question is, when using XmlDataProvider, is there anyway to convert data to a native time (DateTime in my case).

Thanks,
Yury

TabItem

Is there a way I could determine what is the current tab item that the user is selected AND with that tab item I could dynamically load usercontrol/xaml page into the tab item.

Here's the scenario: I have two user controls one is Main page and the next is let's say Sales Page.

By default my first tab already loads the Main page, now when I want to add a new tab, I will have to load the Main page too and by that I would like to navigate to the Sales page on the second tab? I can only do navigate on the first tab but I don't know how to dynamically navigate on the succeeding new tabs? Unless I know how to determine the tab that is selected and manipulate the Content property of tabItem into the user control.

Is there any possible solutions or how is this possible? Help please. Thanks

RadTreeListViewItem?

Are there any plans to incorporate the RadTreeListViewItem class from SL into WPF? I could really use this functionality. In the meantime, if anybody know how to quickly implement tri-state checking using the current RadTreeListView I'd like to see your code.

Thanks,

Corey
