I am using the Telerik gridview and the RadDataPager quite successfully. However how should you set the page size to cope with an adjustable container window size when the grid size is set to auto? The choice seems to be to set it to a low number to avoid vertical scrolling but have lots of space below the grid when the window is maximised, or accept vertical scrolling with a much large page size.
In an MVVM design, how would you set the page size according to physical grid and window sizes, also taking into account the group panel, for example, which might be shown or not? - or have I missed some existing functionality?

Thanks

Databinding with a identity column

Hi,

I have a problem in a Grid, editing a new row previously entered.

The sequence is this :

1. First I insert a new row.

The code in AddingNewDataItem Event Handler of the Grid is :

public void EUGruppoGrid_AddingNewDataItem(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Cancel) return;

String TipoCurrentItem;

GridViewDataControl GridViewDataControl = e.OwnerGridViewItemsControl;

if (GridViewDataControl.CurrentItem != null)

TipoCurrentItem = ((EUGruppoVO)GridViewDataControl.CurrentItem).Tipo;

else

TipoCurrentItem = " ";

e.NewObject = new EUGruppoVO(0, "", TipoCurrentItem);

}

the "EUGruppoVO" Constructor is :

public EUGruppoVO(Int32 id, String descrizione, String tipo)

{

this._id = id; // in the database the fields is a identity primary key

this._descrizione = descrizione;

this._tipo = tipo;

}

the "EUGruppoVO" implements "INotifyPropertyChanged"

the "EUGruppoItemsSource" is an instance of : "public class EUGruppoVOList : ObservableCollection<EUGruppoVO>"

2. Then I move to another row ( the RowEditEnded Event fire with "e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Insert" )The code in RowEditEnded Event Handler of the Grid is :

public void EUGruppoGrid_RowEditEnded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs e){if (e.EditAction == GridViewEditAction.Cancel) return;if (e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Insert)_eUGruppoService.Insert((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData);else_eUGruppoService.Update((EUGruppoVO)e.NewData);}

3. Then I move in the row previously entered, strangely the value of the "id" property of the current item has remained zero.I edit the row, when I move to another row the RowEditEnded Event fire again with "e.EditOperationType == GridViewEditOperationType.Update"but the "id" property of (EUGruppoVO)e.NewData is still zero, why ?

An extract of the XAML code is :...<telerikGridView:RadGridView x:Name="EUGruppoGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserFreezeColumns="False" ShowGroupPanel="True" ItemsSource="{Binding EUGruppoItemsSource, Mode=TwoWay}" CurrentItem="{Binding EUGruppoCurrentItem, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="0,0,0,0"><telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns><telerikGridView:GridViewComboBoxColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Tipo, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding TipoEUList, Mode=OneWay}" DisplayMemberPath="Descrizione" SelectedValueMemberPath="Codice" Header="Tipo" IsReadOnly="False" /><telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Descrizione, Mode=TwoWay}" Header="Descrizione" IsReadOnly="False" /><telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn IsVisible="False" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Id, Mode=OneWay}" Header="Id" IsReadOnly="True" /></telerikGridView:RadGridView.Columns></telerikGridView:RadGridView>...

An extract of the code behind is :...this.EUGruppoGrid.AddingNewDataItem += new EventHandler<Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewAddingNewEventArgs>(_tabelleViewModel.Controller.EUGruppoGrid_AddingNewDataItem);this.EUGruppoGrid.RowEditEnded += new EventHandler<Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs>(_tabelleViewModel.Controller.EUGruppoGrid_RowEditEnded);...DataContext = _tabelleViewModel

Thanks, Dario.

[Solved] Binding To Collection from example not working

Hello! I was trying to get advantage from the RadTabControl component in my project and have it bounded to a collection I am going to use. I follow all the steps in the documentation, but in the end the tab names are still the name of the class and not some property string I want to use. I even made a project using your own classes (Person & ViewModel) thinking that something is wrong with my code and I still see "DataInfo.Person" at the name of each tab (DataInfo is my namespace)

I am using exactly your code:

                    namespace DataInfo {         
                public class Person {         
                    public Person( string name, int age ) {         
                        this.Name = name;         
                        this.Age = age;         
                    }         
                    public string Name {         
                        get;         
                        set;         
                    }         
                    public int Age {         
                        get;         
                        set;         
                    }         
                }         
            }         

                    namespace DataInfo {         
                public class ViewModel {         
                    public ViewModel() {         
                        this.Persons = new ObservableCollection<Person>();         
                        this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Ivan", 23 ) );         
                        this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Stefan", 34 ) );         
                        this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Maria", 16 ) );         
                        this.Persons.Add( new Person( "Michael", 78 ) );         
                    }         
                    public ObservableCollection<Person> Persons {         
                        get;         
                        set;         
                    }         
                }         
            }

                </Grid>         
            </UserControl>         

Is there something I've misunderstood?

Thank you!

RadTileView question

Hello,

I have been working with the radTileView. It's going to do what I need it to do in most cases. However, when there are only a few items the RadTileViewItems take the full space proportionally. It doesn't matter if I set the TileState="Minimized" or TileState="Restored" and the RadFluidContentControl ContentChangeMode="Manual" and State="Small". The controls do appear in the proper state, however the border of the control takes the remaining space causing the controls to be spaced evenly in the area. Even if I manually set the maxHeight and maxWidth of the radTileViewItem.

Is there a way to cause the tiles to be top left justified and leave blank space to the bottom and right when minimized or restored?

The other thing is that when I have a radTileView item maximized and the minimizedItemsPosition="Right" the same kind of spacing issue occurs. I would like them to appear like they do in the "Tile States" BMW section of this link - http://www.telerik.com/products/silverlight/tileview.aspx

I have also tried this with the sample code by adjusting the number of BMW tileViewItems and the size of their container.

I would like to use it more like a list box with very small items taking advantage of the eye candy moving them around and the maximize to edit the information in the control.

Thank you for your help.

where has columnwidthsmode gone??

Hi,
I've just updated my WPF binaries to 2010.1.309.35 from 2009.3.1208.35 and it seems that the ColumnWidthsMode enum is missing could someone please explain to me what has happened to it?

Also, I've seen examples using the telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate with the treeview control with regards to binding to the individual items CheckState property but can't seem to find that class either. Please help asap as this is rather urgent.

Thanks,
Peter.

[Solved] WPF Radgridview heirarchichical Binding from Dataset

Cheers to Telerik,

I've just started using the telerik WPF and started with radgridview only.

Am using a Dataset to populate the Grid.This is not a typed dataset, but a dataset generated programmatically from a SQLServer 2005 DB.Am using VB.net 3.5 as well.To populate the Dataset am using a StoredProcedure

I was able to populate the grid using my dataset.Now I want to make a child for that grid with another dataset and the dataset uses another SP.So how can I attain this.I tried for help but majority is using LINQ.Am not much aware of LINQ.

Please find my code below.( I havent tried with the hierarchy here)

XAML

    
            <Window x:Class="Window1" 
        
                xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
        
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
        
                Title="Window1" Height="515" Width="933" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"> 
        
                <Grid> 
        
                    <telerik:RadGridView Margin="0,-12,22,163" Name="RGVW" AutoGenerateColumns="False"  ItemsSource="{Binding}" AlternateRowBackground="Bisque"> 
        
                        <telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
        
                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn  Name="CDNO" UniqueName="CDNO" Header="CDNO"  /> 
        
                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Name="Truck" UniqueName="Truck No" Header="Truck No"  /> 
        
                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Name="Status" UniqueName="Status" Header="Status"  /> 
        
                            <telerik:GridViewImageColumn Name="Flag" UniqueName="Flag" Header="Truck Flag"  /> 
        
                        </telerik:RadGridView.Columns> 
        
                    </telerik:RadGridView> 
        
                </Grid> 
        
            </Window>

VBCode (VS2008)

    
            Private Sub Window1_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded 
        
                    Dim ds As DataSet 
        
                    Dim dbConn As String = "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=DB;_
        
            Persist Security Info=True;User ID=!@#;pwd=!@#" 
        
                    ds = DBA.ExecuteDataset(dbConn, "SP_DockForWPF") 
        
                    RGVW.DataContext = ds 
        
                End Sub

Here the uniquenames am using is the field from the SP.
To connect to the DB am using, the Microsoft.StandardLib.DBAccess dll. (DBA is the instance of this DLL

I got a sample in C# from the following post http://www.telerik.com/ClientsFiles/164971_hierarchywithdataset.zip .Its the one which uses LINQ

Many thanks in advance

[Solved] TreeView calls CollecectionChanged event on Drag&Drop

So the structure of my tree is something like:

RootObject

ChildObject1

GrandChildObject1

ChildObject2

GrandChildObject2

Problem 1: When I drag and drop GrandChildObject1 to ChildObject2, the collection in ChildObject1 calls its Delete method, and I don't want that, since there's a few steps I need to do before removing GrandChildObject1 from ChildObject1.

Problem 2: When I drop GrandChildObject1 into ChildObject2, there's a few steps I need to do before finally adding GrandChildObject1 to ChildObject2. So doing this, also triggers the Add Method, so I end up having two children of the same item (one added by the TreeView itself, and one I add with my own method in the TreeView.RadTreeView_DragEnded event).

So, is there a way to prevent the TreeView from handling this, and not losing the little Drag&Drop preview when the drag starts? I just want to disable the TreeView from triggering a change in the Collection. I found out it was doing it by setting a breakpoint here:

                    private void GrandChildren_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)         
            {         
                this.NotifyPropertyChanged("GrandChildren"); // breakpoint here        
            }         

EDIT: The collection of GrandChildren is an ObservableCollection<T>, and I can't change that to BindingList<T> or List<T>

Thanks!
