In the RadComboBox I have a IsMouseOver trigger and an IsFocused trigger. The IsMouseOver trigger changes the background color while the IsFocused trigger does not. How can I make this work? I've also tried doing this in the editabletemplate with no luck.

Here is test markup that demonstrates: It should trigger a Black background on keyboard focus.

                    <Window         
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

Add Menu Item to RadPane's menu

Hello!
Since the Telerik documentation having this "How to" referring to adding a menu item to RadPane's menu is obsolete because is using the CustomMenuCommand I have a question for you.

I am adding a RadMenuItem to the template I use for all the radpanes as follows:

<DataTemplate x:Key="PaneContextMenuTemplate">

<telerik:RadContextMenu InheritDataContext="False">

<telerik:RadMenuItem IsChecked="{Binding IsInDocumentHost}"

Command="telerikDocking:RadDockingCommands.TabbedDocument"

CommandParameter="{Binding}"

CommandTarget="{Binding}"

Header="{Binding Command.Text, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />

<telerik:RadMenuItem IsCheckable="False"

Header="Change header name"

Click="RadMenuHeaderChange_Click" />

</telerik:RadContextMenu>

</DataTemplate>

In RadMenuHeaderChange_Click method I need to get somehow the RadPane that owns the RadContextMenu that has been opened.
How can I achieve that?

Thank you!
Roxana

gridview edit clears the cell

I have a fairly simple radgridview I'm messing around with. the data is loaded from a dataset, I only have 1 column that is editable (all others are readonly). However, when I edit that column it clears the cell rather than letting me edit the value it is currently.

the code:

<telerik:RadGridView HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,78,0,0"

Name="gvAccounts" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="240" Width="619"

AutoGenerateColumns="False" Grid.Column="0" CanUserSortColumns="False"

DataLoaded="gvAccounts_DataLoaded" LoadingRowDetails="gvAccounts_LoadingRowDetails"

CanUserReorderColumns="False" ShowGroupPanel="False" EditTriggers="CellClick"

BeginningEdit="gvAccounts_BeginningEdit">

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

<telerik:GridViewSelectColumn />

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding acct_num}"

Header="Account No" IsReadOnly="True"/>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding reg_phone_num, Mode=TwoWay}"

Header="Mobile Phone No" IsReadOnly="True">

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding nickname, Mode=TwoWay}"

Header="Nickname">

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding created_dt, Mode=TwoWay}"

Header="Date Activated" IsReadOnly="True">

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding address, Mode=TwoWay}"

Header="Service Address" IsReadOnly="True" TextWrapping="Wrap">

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

</telerik:RadGridView>

[Solved] Floating ToolWindows fade out after LoadLayout

Hi,

We've noticed that using RadDocking if we have a floating ToolWindow which is later closed and the docking layout is saved then later loaded with LoadLayout we see the floating toolwindow appear briefly then animate/fade away.

I'd like to avoid the confusing UI experience. Does anyone know how to avoid seeing this brief glimpse of the floating toolwindow before LoadLayout decides to hide it?

Direction with SlideAndZoomTransition

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to invert the transition of movement in "SlideAndZoomTransition".
I'm implementing a behavior of type: "Go Forward" and "Go Back" between some userControls (in a "Wizard Like" situation).

Is It possible to invert the movement direction of the transition when I choose "Go Back"?

thanks a lot
Michele

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 ( )
