Hello ,
I have a problem about the method FindCarouselPanel().
Here is the code i wrote:
| <Style x:Key="RadCarouselStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadCarousel}"> |
| <Style.BasedOn> |
| <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadCarousel}"> |
| <Setter Property="Template"> |
| <Setter.Value> |
| <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadCarousel}"> |
| <Grid> |
| <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> |
| <ColumnDefinition Width="50*" /> |
| <ColumnDefinition Width="50*" /> |
| </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> |
| <Button x:Name="EnSolItem" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="0" Width="40" Height="40" Margin="0,0,40,0" Content="EnSol" /> |
| <Button x:Name="SolItem" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="0" Width="40" Height="40" Content="Sol" /> |
| <Button x:Name="SagItem" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="1" Width="40" Height="40" Content="Sağ" /> |
| <Button x:Name="EnSagItem" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Grid.Column="1" Width="40" Height="40" Margin="40,0,0,0" Content="EnSağ" /> |
| <Border Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" |
| BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"> |
| <telerik:CarouselItemsControl x:Name="PART_RootItemsControl" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/> |
| </Border> |
| </Grid> |
| </ControlTemplate> |
| </Setter.Value> |
| </Setter> |
| <Setter Property="ClipToBounds" Value="True"/> |
| </Style> |
| </Style.BasedOn> |
| </Style> |
this is the template i'm using,
<telerik:RadCarousel x:Name="radCarousel" Style="{DynamicResource RadCarouselStyle1}"/>
In my code Behind, I have an event handler and a function to give the path and etc.
| void radCarousel_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) |
| { |
| Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadCarouselPanel panel = this.radCarousel.FindCarouselPanel(); |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.Visibility = Visibility.Visible; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.OffsetX = 0; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.OffsetY = 5; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.HiddenPercentage = 0; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.Opacity = 0.5; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.HeightOffset = 0; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.WidthOffset = 0; |
| this.radCarousel.ReflectionSettings.Angle = 0; |
| System.Windows.Shapes.Path path = CreateLinePath(); |
| if (panel != null) |
| { |
| this.radCarousel.FindCarouselPanel().Path = path; |
| this.radCarousel.FindCarouselPanel().ItemsPerPage = 7; |
| } |
| } |
| private System.Windows.Shapes.Path CreateLinePath() |
| { |
| System.Windows.Shapes.Path newPath = new System.Windows.Shapes.Path(); |
| PathFigureCollectionConverter figureConverter = new PathFigureCollectionConverter(); |
| object geometryFigures = figureConverter.ConvertFromString("M30,200 L307.5,200"); |
| PathGeometry newGeometry = new PathGeometry(); |
| newPath.Stretch = Stretch.Fill; |
| BrushConverter brushConverter = new BrushConverter(); |
| newPath.Stroke = (System.Windows.Media.Brush)brushConverter.ConvertFromString("#FF0998f8"); |
| newPath.StrokeThickness = 2; |
| newGeometry.Figures = (PathFigureCollection)geometryFigures; |
| newPath.Data = (Geometry)newGeometry; |
| return newPath; |
| } |
While i'm setting the
this.radCarousel.FindCarouselPanel().Path = path;
this.radCarousel.FindCarouselPanel().ItemsPerPage = 7;
part, FindCarouselPanel() returns null. Yesterday it was working. I didn't changed anything except the Style of radCarousel. Should i be implementing the RadCarouselPanel to style as well?
Please help.

Hi,
I'v taken a look at the progressbar - since I guesd it cood be used as a gauge control in an app I develeope.
By testing it at the samples I found your numeric updown there.
And since it did some "strange" things I went to the numeric up down sample.
At his moment I was hopeing you simply made a miste at the progressbar sample.
So my first exipriences I'm "keyboard oriented" - so i would never click 50 time on an up button to change a value of 20 to 70 :)
First thing - I can't focus the things via TAB - not that problem.
I focus it with the mouse - results very different.
Sometime it marks the whole numer - sometimes not.
Doubleclick does not (as expected) mark the whole field - it stops at the comma seperator.
Anyhow - I can mark it all - draging with the mouse.
Now I expect - everything marked - I type and this will replace the text :)
So I marked the "beta" value (1,14) and type 300.
I get??? YES 0 nothing else.
OK - some hack with focus and so goes on - I go in front of the 0 in the texfield and type 3 --- YES it is there.
Since the 0 is still in the field I see no 30 with the cursor between 3 and 0.
What is missing to get 300? A zero - so type it - the result?
0 - not this time NOT - I get 100 - the 0 goes in and the 3 changes to 1.
YES I found out why - the control is limited to 100.
OK - mark the 100 again (draging the mouse).
Type 99 - and get? 9 - type another 9 and get 99.
Mark all type 12 -- get 2....
OK - I take the value Shares.
I mark all type 321 and get 21 :)
I move the cursor to the front type 3 and get 321.
Ups I like 421 I move the cursor between 4 and 21 hit backspace than 4 and get?
Right - 214 - because hitting the backspace removes the 3 (as it should) and than moves the cursor back to the end of the number (not expected).
I'll stop now - I guess you can play for hours with that thing; alwas getting a funny result.
But you can't use such a thing in a production environment.
Starting from the fact that a marked number is NOT replaced by what you type and ending in setting the value to MAX if you type to much.
Expect you give 1.000.000 as max.
The user types (from a form) 3469738 and than (by mistake) another 0.
He gets? 1000000 -- all the number he did type are gone.
Do this in a normal control - you get Uuuuups a number to big - or it does not accept the last digit since the value is to large.
But forcing the user to retype complex numbers....
Was this control tested only by mouse?
Or did anyone put it on a from - navigate via TAB and enter numbers?
If so - why did nobody see that it "eats" the first number you enter?
Sorry for my anger - but a simple unit test on an input control should include a "replace by entering numbers".
And not doing such a simple test is not a sign of quality!
Regards
Manfred

I am creating a date picker in my code and want to change its background whenever its value is not valid(specified by IsValidFieldValue flag), but its not working .
Here is my code for creating the control and style :
| // Binding to be set for control |
| Binding binding = new Binding("Value"); |
| binding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay; |
| binding.UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged; |
| string datePickerXamlTemplate = "<telerik:RadDatePicker x:Name=\"uxDatePickerCustomField{0}\" Grid.Row=\"1\" Grid.Column=\"1\" Height=\"24\" HorizontalAlignment=\"Left\" Margin=\"8,5,8,5\" Width=\"125\" xmlns=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation\" xmlns:telerik=\"clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input\" xmlns:x=\"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml\" />"; |
| string datePickerXaml = string.Format(datePickerXamlTemplate, field.Id, count); |
| stream = new MemoryStream(ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetBytes(datePickerXaml)); |
| RadDatePicker datePicker = (RadDatePicker)System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader.Load(stream); |
| datePicker.SetBinding(RadDatePicker.SelectedDateProperty, binding); |
| datePicker.Style = (Style)FindResource("DatePickerStyle"); |
| datePicker.DataContext = field; // Object having properties - Value and IsValidFieldValue. Implements INotifyPropertyChanged |
| uxGrid.Children.Add(datePicker); // Added to a Grid |
| <UserControl.Resources> |
| <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerikInput:RadDatePicker}" x:Key="DatePickerStyle"> |
| <Style.Triggers> |
| <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsValidFieldValue, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=TwoWay}" Value="false"> |

I have a bug when I set the width of a column to * (i.e. take up all remaining space). This works fine if I populate the DataContext before I view the grid (e.g. in the constructor of WPF page) but fails when I populate the DataContext after the grid has been created and laid out (e.g. User choose an item to display in the grid at runtime).
Here is the code need to recreate the problem.
Class or storing some data
Code behind of Window class
XAML for window
Hope you can help.
Regards
Justin
Here is the code need to recreate the problem.
| public class DummyObject |

| public string Name |
| { |
| get; |
| set; |
| } |
| public string Notes |
| { |
| get; |
| set; |
| } |
| } |
| public partial class Window1 : Window |
| { |
| public Window1() |
| { |

| //This works fine |

Hi,
I tried to solve a (I guess) very common task today - and checked the help for this.
I found - almost nothing :(
I compare this to my "Telerik Gateway Drug" .ASP.NET Controls :(
Looking at the ASP.NET Grid there I find "Functional Overview" - "Getting Started" and so on.
With WPF I find -- a number of "overview topics" - nothing more.
Back to my task - I have a grid which shall display 3 Columns of data.
Lets say - ProductName, Price, Tax
Since Price and Tax would no become very large I fix there width to 100.
What I tried to approach was to set the width of the name column to be "Stretching".
First approach Width="*" -- fails with an exception.
So I decided to leave out the Width attribute.
Since the Documentation gave me no information I tried it with the samples.
By luck I found that there is a property called CollumnsWidthMode.
Anyhow - whatever I set it gave me "strange" results.
How can I do what I want - First Column "filling" the widht of the grid, the other 2 columns with a fixed width?
I'm a customer over years.
More and more it looks as if you build functionality after functionality - and stop documenting the things.
You build great examples - and if (by luck) one fills the needs we have a good starting point for a solution.
If not - bad luck :(
And - it is extremely time consuming to browse numbers of sample files just to pick up a snippet there and an other snippet somewhere else.
My idea -- you (your developer team) started up with "beeing new" - and therefore you also knew how hard it is to solve problems.
And you documented it - making it very easy for your customers to use the controls.
Now you have a lot of expiriences - and have no problems to solve even complex tasks. And by this you forgot that your customer (at least a lot of them) do not have your skill and get stuck with this minmalistic documentation.
I did the work and counted the entries about a comming task (for me) -- hirarchical data binding.
In ASP Grid I find 12 Topis about this and EXTRA 8 "how to" Topics.
In WPF Grid I find exactly ONE entry about this - containin a extreme simple solution.
The so called documentation about this topic has less than 20 Lines of explanation.
I had the same problems with Gauge in Silverlight (where the documentation is completely missing).
And by this I learned an other thing about your new products -- they became extremely complex in the last years.
Of course they do much more and are therefore more complex -- BUT a competitor of you showed me that it does not have to be like this.
They also have a gauge - and they provide a PDF file "Getting Started" -- and with two lines of XAML you get a working Gauge.
It's simple, It's proper documented -- and it also allows complex scenarios and great looking results.
From another competitor I downloaded a free (not trial - really free) Grid Control.
It also provides very good help -- and with it I could solve my "Grid Problem" in about 10 Minutes.
CONCLUSION:
Why do I buy a control suite?
-My work is to solve customers problems, to design an write software.
-With I control suite I expect to save a lot of time.
What WAS my relation with Telerik?
I found you years ago on the web. I gave your navigation suite (for ASP) a try and learned three things:
a.) Great functionality and intuitive use
b.) Very good support - the reaction time was great - and all my problems got solved.
c.) Your controls did what the "orginals" (MS included) controls did - but better, easier and more stable.
What IS my current situation?
I get a bunch of new controls.
From release to release there is more functionality.
The documentation becomes worser with every new product (feature).
Take it and use it is over - there is (almost) no "out of the box" functionality.
Problems do not get solved over months.
---Example WinForms Tab Control.
----The MS Control begins to scroll if I add more elements than displayable.
----Your control does not scroll at designtime -- it is almost impossible to build a solution with a "buch of tabs"
----This problem is known -- and there was a promise "....will fix this with the next release...."
----Not fixed till today!!!!
In a view words:
I tried to solve a common task with your grid.
I could not find anything in the documentation.
Even to give the grid "a bit of the wanted look" took me hours browsing your samples.
--Taking a free grid made me solve the problem in about 10 Minutes.
You remember: I (and I guess most of your customers) buy a control suite to develope FASTER and to be able to concentrate on "my part of the job".

Manfred
