Hi Telerik,

Do you have any report view control or similar control in WPF.net core which can connect to SSRS (2012 version and above) and view RDLC or local report?

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Loon

Watermark Text Box additional content IsBackgroundVisible not working

I'm am trying to create a search with Watermark Text Box and have a clear button at the end. The problem is that I can't get the background of the button to be transparent.

This is the code that I am using:

<telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBox Name="SearchBox"

Text="{Binding SearchControl.SearchText, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"

Width="250">

<telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBox.WatermarkContent>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

<telerikControls:RadGlyph Glyph="" Margin="0 3 0 0"/>

<TextBlock Margin="3,3,0,0" Text="Search" />

</StackPanel>

</telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBox.WatermarkContent>

<telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBox.AdditionalContent>

<telerikControls:RadButton Focusable="False"

IsBackgroundVisible="False"

Command="telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBoxCommands.Clear"

CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=SearchBox}"

ToolTip="Clear">

<telerikControls:RadGlyph Glyph=""/>

</telerikControls:RadButton>

</telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBox.AdditionalContent>

</telerikControls:RadWatermarkTextBox>

I have also tried to use Background="Transparent" but that still doesn't work.

I have also noticed that IsBackgroundVisible aslo doesn't work on buttons outside of the Watermark Text Box.

I have attached a photo of how the search box looks.

No indicators
Only 1.5 of the 4 ranges visible

(screenshot attached)

Can you pls. clarify how to fix this?

Need Popup for DefineEnum based Enums

Hello,

I cannot get a C# enumeration property based on dynamically created DefineEnum call to show up as popup on a PropertyGrid. I've tried several things but nothing worked. Also, I am dynamically creating the PropertyDefinition items instead of statically defining anything via XAML.

Here is the basic code to load the property definitions:

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

PropertyDefinitionCollection properties = EditorPropertyGrid.PropertyDefinitions;

List<KeyValueBase> testList = new List<KeyValueBase>();

TestEnumKeyValue first = new TestEnumKeyValue() { Key = "Static Enum Prop", Value = TestEnum.test3 };

testList.Add(first);

properties.Add(new PropertyDefinition()

{

DisplayName = first.Key,

Binding = new Binding("Value") { Source = first }

});

DynamicEnumBuilder _enums = new DynamicEnumBuilder();

_enums.BuildDictionaries();

Type dynamicEnum = _enums.getEnum("Employee", "Status");

EnumKeyValue second = new EnumKeyValue() { Key = "Dynamic Enum Prop", Value = Enum.Parse(dynamicEnum, "PartTime")};

testList.Add(second);

properties.Add(new PropertyDefinition()

{

DisplayName = second.Key,

Binding = new Binding("Value") { Source = second }

});

// ************************

EditorPropertyGrid.Item = testList;

}

Here are the key value pair definitions:

enum TestEnum

{

test1,

test2,

test3

}

class KeyValueBase

{

}

class TestEnumKeyValue : KeyValueBase

{

public string Key { get; set; }

public TestEnum Value { get; set; }

}

class EnumKeyValue : KeyValueBase

{

public string Key { get; set; }

public object Value { get; set; }

}

Here is the XAML:

<Grid x:Name="EditorGrid">

<telerik:RadPropertyGrid x:Name="EditorPropertyGrid" Margin="10,10,10,10" DescriptionPanelVisibility="Collapsed" SearchBoxVisibility="Collapsed" AutoGeneratePropertyDefinitions="False" NestedPropertiesVisibility="Visible" AutoGenerateBindingPaths="False" SortAndGroupButtonsVisibility="Collapsed" />

</Grid>

And here is how I generate the dynamic enum:

class DynamicEnumBuilder

{

public Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, Type>> _enumDictionary = new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, Type>>();

public void BuildDictionaries()

{

Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, List<ValuePair>>> _rawDictionary = new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, List<ValuePair>>>();

_rawDictionary["Employee"] = new Dictionary<string, List<ValuePair>>();

_rawDictionary["Employee"]["Status"] = new List<ValuePair>();

_rawDictionary["Employee"]["Status"].Add(new ValuePair() { Name = "FullTime", StoredValue = "1" });

_rawDictionary["Employee"]["Status"].Add(new ValuePair() { Name = "PartTime", StoredValue = "2" });

_rawDictionary["Employee"]["Status"].Add(new ValuePair() { Name = "Retired", StoredValue = "3" });

BuildValueDictionary(_rawDictionary);

}

private void BuildValueDictionary(Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, List<ValuePair>>> _rawDictionary)

{

// Get the current application domain for the current thread.

AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;

//// Create a dynamic assembly in the current application domain,

//// and allow it to be executed ONLY, NOT to be saved on disk!

AssemblyName aName = new AssemblyName("TempAssembly");

AssemblyBuilder ab = currentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(

aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);

// Define a dynamic module in "TempAssembly" assembly. For a single-

// module assembly, the module has the same name as the assembly.

ModuleBuilder mb = ab.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name);

foreach(var fieldEntry in _rawDictionary)

{

Dictionary<string, Type> valueTableDic = null;

if (!_enumDictionary.ContainsKey(fieldEntry.Key))

{

valueTableDic = new Dictionary<string, Type>();

_enumDictionary.Add(fieldEntry.Key, valueTableDic);

}

else

{

valueTableDic = _enumDictionary[fieldEntry.Key];

}

Dictionary<string, List<ValuePair>> rawEnumDict = fieldEntry.Value;

foreach (var fieldEnum in rawEnumDict)

{

// Define a public enumeration with the name "Elevation" and an

// underlying type of Integer.

EnumBuilder eb = mb.DefineEnum(fieldEnum.Key+"Enum", TypeAttributes.Public, typeof(int));

// build the enumerations

List<ValuePair> values = fieldEnum.Value;

foreach (var valuePair in values)

{

eb.DefineLiteral(valuePair.Name, int.Parse(valuePair.StoredValue));

}

// Create the type and save the assembly.

Type dynamicEnum = eb.CreateType();

// now put it in the value dictionary

valueTableDic[fieldEnum.Key] = dynamicEnum;

}

public Type getEnum(String tablename, String fieldname)

{

Type result = null;

if (_enumDictionary.ContainsKey(tablename))

{

Dictionary<string, Type> fieldDict = _enumDictionary[tablename];

if (fieldDict.ContainsKey(fieldname))

{

result = fieldDict[fieldname];

}

return result;

}

Basically, I want the dynamic Enum to have a popup like the static Enum, instead of PropertyGrid rendering it as a string.

Any help will be deeply appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Optimization

I've been testing the chart using bitmap rendering and am pleased with the performance so far. I have some questions regarding optimization. I am creating a simple line chart and am using a ScatterLineSeries, which seems to be the best match. The number of series may change, but the data itself will not change.

1. Is it possible to directly bind to or use arrays instead of arrays of objects? For example, I have 1 million data points that are stored in two arrays: one for X and one for Y. Is there any way to use the data as-is without creating intermediate classes?

2. The chart appears to create a ScatterDataPoint for each of my points. I directly added ScatterDataPoint objects to avoid creating an intermediate class, which worked. However, is there no way to specify an initial capacity? With one million points, isn't the collection going to be constantly resizing?

Customize Editor with a Reset Button

Hello guys,

I'd like to make a customizable editor with a button like modal style, but what I want is to reset the value when clicked.

For example, Property1 = "A".

In the editor, I change the Property1 value to "B" and when I click on the reset button, it resets to "A".

I can do it with a simple textbox and button, but it's not easy to implement it with a property grid.

Can you help me please?

Editor Attribute does not work for nested definition

Hello,

Using a WPF PropertyGrid. and having a problem with using Editor Attributes in combination with a nested property. Basically, all property definitions with Editor Attributes defined at the root will work fine, however nested property definitions with Editor Attributes renders with nothing in it. The attached file shows the problem.

Here is the code which generates the property definitions:

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

PropertyDefinitionCollection properties = EditorPropertyGrid.PropertyDefinitions;

ObservableCollection<object> testList = new ObservableCollection<object>();

UserDefinedEnumKeyValue first = new UserDefinedEnumKeyValue() { Key = "Custom Enum Control Prop", Value = new UserDefinedEnum() { Item = "UD3", Items = { "UD1", "UD2", "UD3", "UD4" } } };

testList.Add(first);

properties.Add(new PropertyDefinition()

{

DisplayName = first.Key,

Binding = new Binding("Value") { Source = first }

});

ParentKeyValue item = new ParentKeyValue() { ChildList = new List<KeyValueBase>() };

testList.Add(item);

PropertyDefinition parentPropertyDefinition = new PropertyDefinition()

{

DisplayName = item.Key,

Binding = new Binding("Value") { Source = item }

};

properties.Add(parentPropertyDefinition);

PropertyDefinitionCollection nestedProperties = parentPropertyDefinition.NestedProperties;

UserDefinedEnumKeyValue second = new UserDefinedEnumKeyValue() { Key = "Custom Enum Control Prop nested", Value = new UserDefinedEnum() { Item = "UD3", Items = { "UD1", "UD2", "UD3", "UD4" } } };

testList.Add(second);

nestedProperties.Add(new PropertyDefinition()

{

DisplayName = second.Key,

Binding = new Binding("Value") { Source = second }

});

EditorPropertyGrid.Item = testList;

}

Here are the model classes:

abstract class KeyValueBase

{

public string Key { get; set; }

public abstract void SetValue(string value);

}

class UserDefinedEnum : INotifyPropertyChanged

{

private List<string> _items = new List<string>();

public List<string> Items

{

get

{

return this._items;

}

//set NOTE not used for one way binding

//{

// if (this._items != value)

// {

// this._items = value;

// this.OnPropertyChanged("Items");

// }

//}

}

private string _item;

public string Item

{

get

{

return this._item;

}

set

{

if (this._item != value)

{

this._item = value;

this.OnPropertyChanged("Item");

}

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

private void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)

{

if (this.PropertyChanged != null)

this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));

}

class UserDefinedEnumKeyValue : KeyValueBase

{

[Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.PropertyGrid.Editor(typeof(EnumControl), Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.PropertyGrid.EditorStyle.None)]

public UserDefinedEnum Value { get; set; }

public override void SetValue(string value)

{

}

class ParentKeyValue : KeyValueBase

{

public string Value { get; set; }

public List<KeyValueBase> ChildList { get; set; }

public override void SetValue(string value)

{

}

And here is the XAML for the EnumControl:

<UserControl x:Class="TelerikWpfApp002.EnumControl"

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

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">

<Grid>

<telerik:RadComboBox SelectedValue="{Binding Item, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding Items, Mode=OneWay}" />

</Grid>

</UserControl>

Thank you in advance for any help offered...
