GridView Style

Hi,

I would like to change completely the look of the grid view. I don't want to use Black or Blue theme.
It is not possible to get the style with blend. Could you please send me all the style/template code of the grid view ?
It is not easy to change the header color or to remove the white background color of the grid view content.

Thank you in advance,

Suzi

RadCarousel keyboardnavigation

I'm trying to create a RadCarousel which does not show the scrollbar-buttons and supports scrolling by clicking on items or by using the keyboard navigation keys. This is (almost) working smoothly, with the current solution:

            <telerik:RadCarousel Name="carousel" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
                                 ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Templates}"
                                 ItemTemplate="{StaticResource template}"
                                 SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedTemplateAndFolder}" />

Now, the issue is that if you click outside the items in the carousel but inside the carousel boundary, you can scroll by using left and right navigation keys. If you click on an item in the carousel, the ability to navigate with the keyboard is lost. The different navigation behavior, based on where you clicked in the carousel, leads to a quirky user-experience and I would really like to know if there is a solution to this problem.

Predefined color palette for pie chart

Hi,
The WinForms RadChart control has a SeriesPalette property that allows us to set the series colors to a predefined color scheme (for instance BabyBlue, Classic, Rainbow, etc.). I see that the WPF chart allows you to create a custom palette of colors to use for pie charts, but I don't see a way to map the wedge colors to a predefined theme. Is that possible with the WPF chart?

Many Thanks!

Binding to a DataView

Hi,

I am try to bind a RadGridView to DataView because of the Notify events that are already available. I am using the WPF MVVM architecture therefore the Grid is defined in the XAML and the DataView in my presentation Layer. I have a background worker that will populate the table in the DataView and I was hoping the RadGridView would then update accordingly. I am not too sure why it is not working or whether it can work in this context. Please see the code snippet below.

View:

<telerikGrid:RadGridView x:Name="activeSessionsGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ActiveSessions}"

</telerikGrid:RadGridView>

Presentation Model:

private DataView _activeSessions;

public DataView ActiveSessions

{

get

{

return this._activeSessions;

}

private void GenereateTableStructure ( )

{

this._activeSessions = new DataView ( );

this._activeSessions.Table = new DataTable ( "Sessions" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "ID" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "Name" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "Surname" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "Designation" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "User Name" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "Email Address" );

this._activeSessions.Table.Columns.Add ( "Last Access Time" );
}

//BackgroundWorker that populates the _activeSessions table

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

How to create style for GridViewDataColumn and replace his Header property

I want to localize my GridView from xml file which has translation for my GridView headers.

I use next code:

<Window.Resources>

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewDataColumn">

<Setter Property="Header" Value="someValue"/>

</Style>

</Window.Resources>

<Grid>

<telerik:RadGridView HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="radGridView1" VerticalAlignment="Top" >

</telerik:RadGridView>

</Grid>

and my code behind:

public partial class Window1 : Window

{

public Window1()

{

InitializeComponent();

var lst = new List<Foo>

{

new Foo() {CompanyName = "Burkinafaso", Phone = "6666"},

new Foo() {CompanyName = "Reebok", Phone = "555"}

};

radGridView1.SetBinding(RadGridView.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding {Source = lst});

}

public class Foo

{

public string CompanyName { get; set; }

public string Phone { get; set; }

}

But Headers not change. Why I cannot change headers with this approach?
I am planning to bind TextBlock to the XmlNode value and get appropriate translation by Header system name

How to deal with GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate and virtualization

Hi,

Given the grid below:

<my:RadGridView

x:Name="grdData"

VerticalAlignment="Stretch"

ItemsSource="{Binding List}"

ShowGroupPanel="False"

AutoGenerateColumns="False"

EditTriggers="None"

CanUserSelect="False"

Tag="{Binding ComboBoxList}"

>

<my:RadGridView.Columns>

<my:GridViewDataColumn Header="Variable" TextAlignment="Center">

<my:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

<ComboBox

ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,

AncestorType={x:Type my:RadGridView}, AncestorLevel=1}, Path=Tag}"

SelectedValuePath="Value"

DisplayMemberPath="Name"

SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedItem}"

/>

</DataTemplate>

</my:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

</my:GridViewDataColumn>

</my:RadGridView.Columns>

</my:RadGridView>

Which is a grid with a single column which has a custom datatemplate with a combobox in it. Each item in the list has a value assigned (no ComboBox is empty).

When the list is long and the vertical scrollbars are visible, if I drag the scrollbar down, hiding a few items at the top, sometimes the items that were hidden re-appear unselected (DependencyProperty.UnsetValue).

I solved the issue by turning off the Row Virtualization (EnableRowVirtualization="False") but I would like to know if this is a bug or if I am missing a step when using custom datatemplates with virtualization.

I can submit a bug report with a demo of the problem if you prefer.

Thanks,
Jose

Possible Performance Issue With Telerik RadChart and MSFT Unity Container

"Consider whether the performance impact of registering in the container and resolving instances from it is acceptable in your scenario. For example, if you need to create 10,000 polygons to draw a surface within the local scope of a rendering method, the cost of resolving all of those polygon instances through the container might have a significant performance cost because of the container's use of reflection for creating each entity."

Please see the section title, "Considerations for Using the Container", in the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff921140(v=PandP.20).aspx

One possible solution is not to resolve/inject the module containing your rendering method inside the Unity Container.

You folks at Telerik may want to take a closer look at this, perhaps do a mockup to test this out, given that Unity is being use for a great many projects.

Suggestion about behavior

Hello again,

I want to suggest a better behavior for this control that would help it stay 508 compliant. When I use the RadTabControl in my applications, and a user attempts to change the tab using just the keyboard, this control behaves in a way that is not typical. For starters, the RadTabItem’s default IsTabStop value is “false”. Second, even when we set the IsTabStop to “true”, the focus is automatically changed from the Tabs to the first control in the tab being activated. This is not a typical behavior as seen in the stock TabControl that Microsoft wrote (or any other Tab control to speak of). Finally there is the matter of the AutomationPeer (as in there is none for either the RadTabControl or RadTabItem). This presents an issue for customers like me who are required to make our products accessible.
