Hello

I have a Grid with dynamic object on DataSource with AutoGeneratedColumns.

When I open a filter on any column, i only have 4 options : "equals / not equals / null / not null"

How can I activate "contains" when my colum is string ?

To reproduce, you can test on 'BindingToDynamicObject' project on sdk (https://github.com/telerik/xaml-sdk/tree/master/GridView/BindingToDynamicObject)

Thanks for your help

Restore Diagram Position

Hello,

My application shows a series of diagrams and implements a back-forward functionality on them. I do this by changing GraphSource.

However, I would like to preserve the position and zoom of the diagrams as the user goes back and forth. I'm trying to do this by setting the Position and Zoom properties on RadDiagram. However, the view is not correctly restored. I've verified that the correct position and zoom values are being set.

What is the recommended way to do this?

Date Localization

Hello,

I've implemented a Pivot Grid in an application and noticed that the date format doesn't follow the localization (in this case French).

The dates will always be displayed in [MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss]

After some research, I've created a DateTimeGroupDescriptor to fix the displayed format.

However, it breaks the "Label filter" option (ex: when filtering with "is greater than 01st Jan 2019", it still displays 2011 entries).

If I don't use the group descriptor, it works fine.

How can I fix this? (my goal is to display the dates in the following format [dd/MM/yyyy] while preserving the Label filter option)

By the way, I'm using the latest R1 2020 SP1 update.

Let me know if you need more information.

Side note: when using the UI culture fr-FR, the sorting label is incorrects

It says "Classer de A à Z" for "Sort Z to A" instead of "Classer de Z à A" ;)

QueryableCollectionView and EF Core 3.x

I am using QueryableCollectionView (QCV) together with EF Core 3.1.2 as a datasource for RadGridView. As soon as I set an AggregateFunctions on a DataColumn in my grid EF Core throws an error:

System.InvalidOperationException
HResult=0x80131509
Message= Processing of the LINQ expression '(GroupByShaperExpression:
KeySelector: (1),
ElementSelector:(EntityShaperExpression:
EntityType: SalesOrderHeader
ValueBufferExpression:
(ProjectionBindingExpression: EmptyProjectionMember)
IsNullable: False
)
)' by 'RelationalProjectionBindingExpressionVisitor' failed. This may indicate either a bug or a limitation in EF Core. See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2101433 for more detailed information.
Source= Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational

I consider this as a serious bug. The way EF Core 3.x supports query evaluation has changed drastically compared to former versions (as mentioned in the link inside the error message) and it seems that Telerik's query building is not taken this fact into account.

It is quite simple to reproduce the error:

1. Create a .NET Core 3 WPF project with Telerik.UI.for.Wpf.NetCore 2020.1.218
2. Add EF Core 3.1.x package
3. Create a DbContext with just one table (which is enough to reproduce the error)
4. Create a QCV from the table
5. Place a RadGridView and bind it to the QCV

Everything should work as expected. Now place an AggregateFunction like CountFunction on one DataColumn and you should see the error. There is also a similar issue in this thread:

https://www.telerik.com/forums/todatasource-throws-exception-using-ef-core-3-0-with-groups

At the moment I am migrating a WPF application from .NET 4.6.1 to .NET Core 3 and I rely heavily on QCV. I would be very grateful for any help!

Regards
Heiko

Intervals not showing

Fairly new, and I hope this isn't a dumb question, but...

When I create a RadTimeBar by its lonesome, and bind values to the PeriodStart/End, SelectionStart/End everything works as expected. If I use it in a ItemTemplate in a RadListBox, intervals no longer show.

Any ideas?

Change foreground color of merged cell

Hi,

I am trying to conditionally format the contents of merged cells. For this I have implemented a MergedCellStyleSelector as per the examples. The setters all work as expected except for setting the foreground color. If I look at the live visual tree in VS I can see that the data gets presented in a text block which does not inherit from the foreground property set on the conditional style.

public class MergedSlotStyleSelector : StyleSelector

{

public override Style SelectStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)

{

var info = item as MergedCellInfo;

var cell = container as GridViewMergedCell;

var column = cell.DataColumn;

var ctx = cell.DataContext as MainViewModel;

var vm = ctx.SectionElements.OrderBy(o=>o.Sequence).ToArray()[info.VerticalStart];

var baseStyle = Application.Current.Resources["GridViewMergedCellStyle"] as Style;

var background = new SolidColorBrush(Telerik.Windows.Controls.FluentPalette.Palette.AccentColor);

var foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Telerik.Windows.Controls.FluentPalette.Palette.PrimaryMouseOverColor);

var style = new Style(typeof(GridViewMergedCell), baseStyle);

style.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewMergedCell.VerticalContentAlignmentProperty, VerticalAlignment.Center));

style.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewMergedCell.HorizontalContentAlignmentProperty, HorizontalAlignment.Right));

if (vm.IsRulingSegment)

{

style.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewMergedCell.BackgroundProperty, background)); //<-- THIS WORKS

style.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewMergedCell.ForegroundProperty, foreground)); //<-- THIS DOES NOT WORK

style.Setters.Add(new Setter(GridViewMergedCell.FontWeightProperty, FontWeights.Bold)); //<-- THIS WORKS

}

return style;

}

Hooking into ValueChange

I am trying to validate a Textbox that will hold an IP Address. I have a working example that works as expected

<telerik:RadMaskedTextInput ValidationRegex="{x:Static maskedInput:ValidationHelper.IP}" x:Name="hueIpAddress" Height="23" Margin="203,39,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
EmptyContent="Enter IP Address"
InputBehavior="Insert"
Mask="{Binding Path=Text, ElementName=Mask, Mode=TwoWay}"
IsClearButtonVisible="False"
SelectionOnFocus="CaretToEnd"
TextMode="PlainText"
UpdateValueEvent="ProperyChanged" />

But no matter what I do, I cannot get an event to fire when the value is updated. I have tried ValueChanged and ValueChanging, but none fire as expected, and I am not interested in playing the PreviewTextInput/KeyDown game which is unreliable. I want to be able to update a label on my page with the current value of the text box, and doing it via the handle method as I will need to do other stuff as well.

Removing the dropdown

I need the time interval to be 1 minute. This makes the dropdown unusable. How can I disable or just remove the dropdown completely so it works like the old WinForms time picker? I saw this:

https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-remove-the-drop-down-button

but it's pretty old and I don't really want to mess with Expression Blend (if it even still exists?). I would also need the cursor keys and mouse wheel to increment/decrement the current value.

Or is it better to just try make the NumericUpDown work like a TimePicker?
