Hello,
In download page, there are:
================
WPF 3.5 - Automatic Installation (msi 124 MB)
WPF 3.5 - Manual Installation (zip, 125 MB)
WPF 3.5 - DLLs only (zip, 10383 KB)
WPF 4 - Automatic installation (msi, 121 MB)
WPF 4 - Manual installation (zip, 125 MB)
WPF 4 - DLLs only (zip, 10414 KB)
================
My question is, what's the difference between "WPF 3.5 - Automatic Installation " and "WPF 4 - Automatic installation"? I have VS2010 installed in my computer, if I do development, which one should I use? Which one is better?

Thanks a lot!
Tim

How to get a reference to new PaneGroup

When you have a DocumentHost and you drag one of the documents to create a new PaneGroup (using the compass), RadDocking dynamically creates a new PaneGroup. What is the recommended way to get a reference to it when it is created? I would like to add an event handler and set some other properties. I'm not seeing an obvious way of doing this.

Also, then you have multiple PaneGroups, each has a SelectedPane property. Is there any way to determine which RadPane is actually the one that is currently selected/has the focus?

ShowDialog and MSN messenger

Why does a window opened with ShowDialog set my MSN to "busy"?

If I turn off "showme as 'BUsy' when i'm running a full-screen program or presentation settings are turned on" in messenger, that seems to fix it. Are modal dialogs secretly full-screen? or do they have some sort of presentation settings?

Programmatically adding columns with display and edit templates for different data types

I display a collection of items in a RadGridView, each having a collection of parameters of possibly different types.

It works quite nicely if I use the resource definitions below along with an identical definition for each of the parameter columns:

01.<t:RadGridView.Resources>

02. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:AnalogParam}">

03. edit template definition....

04. </DataTemplate>

05. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:DigitalParam}">

06. edit template definition....

07. </DataTemplate>

08. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:DummyParam}">

09. edit template definition....

10. </DataTemplate>

11.

12. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:AnalogParamDisplay}">

13. display template definition....

14. </DataTemplate>

15. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:DigitalParamDisplay}">

16. display template definition....

17. </DataTemplate>

18. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:DummyParamDisplay}">

19. display template definition....

20. </DataTemplate>

21.

22. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type bo:DigitalParamDesc}" >

23. header template definition....

24. </DataTemplate>

25. <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type no:AnalogParamDesc}">

26. header template definition....

27. </DataTemplate>

28.</t:RadGridView.Resources>

29.<t:RadGridView.Columns>

30. .....

31. <t:GridViewDataColumn Header="{Binding Descriptors[4]}" IsReadOnly="False" IsFilterable="False">

32. <t:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

33. <DataTemplate>

34. <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding Params[4].DisplayWrapper}" />

35. </DataTemplate>

36. </t:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

37. <t:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>

38. <DataTemplate>

39. <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding Params[4]}" />

40. </DataTemplate>

41. </t:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>

42. </t:GridViewDataColumn>

Because the number of parameters in the grid is variable, I would like to add the columns programmatically instead of defining them in XAML.

How do I do that?

ItemClick event and ItemMapping

Hi

Let's say I have a bar-chart with two bar series. An AxisX (Product categories) and Cost and Sales (on the same AxisY).
On ItemClick event I'd like to determine which bar the user clicks. Cost or Sales?
I can find X and Y values from event args but I cannot determine if it is the Cost-bar or Sales-bar.

How can I do this?

Programmatic grouping missing aggregate functions

Hi,

I have some functionality that sets up the grouping in a grid with some code. I create a GroupDescriptor and add it to the grid's GroupDescriptors. However, when I group this way, rather than by dragging a header into the group panel, the aggregate functions defined in my GridViewDataColumns are not applied.

I'm guessing that I have to manually add all these aggregate functions to my group descriptor. However, I wanted to check if there is an easier way.

Thanks!
