How to change the full text search behavior?

Hi,

is it possible to change the full text search behavior from contains to start with?

The users whant e.g. to search vor zip codes and they do not want to see a lot of other results... pls see attached pic.

If it is possible is it also possible to switch the behavior at run time? Than I could provide a checkbox where the user can switch back to "contains-mode".

Thanks for help!!!

TypeConverter is not working

Hello,

I have followed your WPF example:

public class PlayerTypeConverter : TypeConverter

{

public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

{

return true;

}

public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

{

return true;

}

public override StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

{

return new StandardValuesCollection(new string[] { "Mark Wright", "Ian Rush", "John Barnes",

"Paul Ince", "Jamie Redknapp", "Sami Hyypia", "Steven Gerrard ", "Jordan Henderson" });

}

and attached the converter to my property:

/// <summary>

/// Sets the algorithm that is available for the mode.

/// </summary>

[Category("Reconstruction")]

// [Editor(typeof(AlgorithmEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))]

[Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.PropertyGrid.Editor(typeof(ComboBox))]

[TypeConverter(typeof(AlgorithmConverter))]

[Description("Sets the algorithm that is available for the mode.")]

public string Algorithm

{

get => GetProperty<string>();

set => SetProperty(value);

}

Unfortunately when setting the property to the PropertyGrid the combobox does not show up.

The type converter is not even used. Originally I had the PropertyInspector which is still active until I have transitioned to the RadPropertyGrid, here the TypeConverter is used without any problems.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

Disapearing Items for ListBox when ItemContainerStyle is set

We got problem (or maybe an issue) in the RadListBox with enabled Drag&Drop. In our Project we simply want to Drag&Drop Customers from a RadListBox to a RadScheduleView. For displaying the customer business objects into the list we use a simple data-template.

If we compile the project without the line 33 into the MainWindow.xaml the items are shown into the listbox. If we use the line, the items disappear, but the listbox could be used as drop-target from the calendar.

The problem occurred with the telerik wpf version 2016.3.914.45.NoXaml (folder-name of the library linked to the project) and the office 2016 style. We found out, that the problem was not reproducible with an older telerik version or another theme.

Is there any workaround or fix? Thank you for your help.

I attached the demo-project with the problem as zip-file with a password, for making it possible for you to reproduce the problem I attached the whole telerik classes. Because this the file is password covered. If you want to unpack the file, please request the password per e-mail.

Custom implementation of filtering and sorting

Hello everybody,

We need to create own implementation of RadGrid server filtering and sorting without using OData Web Services.

So, if the user choose filter from GridView, we want to create query to our custom Web Service. Web Service will return filtered and sorted data.

RadGrid shouldn't filter data by self.

We've try to write own implementation of QueryableCollectionView and use it as grid ItemsSource. Our collection implements ICollectionView, IQueryableCollectionView.
Unfortunately doesn't work. RadGrid is still filtering data in memory.

Please help.

RichTextBox not rendering in 2020.1.218.45

Hi,

I have a sample project that uses the RadRichTextBox and RadRichTextBoxRibbonUI controls. I'm using the Office2016 theme with NoXaml binaries. I was referencing the assemblies directly in the install directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for WPF R2 2019\Binaries.NoXaml\WPF45\Telerik.Windows.Themes.Office2016.dll

...and this all worked fine . I've since run the upgrade wizard to bump up to R1 2020 and this moved everything locally in the lib folder. Everything works as before with the exception of the RichTextBox, which does not render (the ribbon and other controls all render fine). If you check Mole you can see the top level element for the RichTextBox but it has no children and the control does not render.

One thing I notice, looking at the R1 2020 version of Office2016.dll in JustDecompile, is that the baml for richtextboxui seems to produce a parser exception:

Current member / type: themes/telerik.windows.controls.richtextboxui.baml
File path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for WPF R1 2020\Binaries.NoXaml\WPF45\Telerik.Windows.Themes.Office2016.dll

Product version: 2019.1.118.0
Character '0' was unexpected in string '0'. Invalid XAML type name.
at MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.MeScanner.ResolveTypeName(String longName)
at MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.MeScanner.Read()
at MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.MePullParser.<P_MarkupExtension>d__9.MoveNext()
at MS.Internal.Xaml.Parser.MePullParser.<P_Value>d__13.MoveNext()

This is not the case for the same baml file in the equivalent R2 2019 assembly, which displays the xaml you'd expect.

Is this a known issue, or am I missing something else?

Many thanks

John

Ignore RowValidating Event when UI prepares for viewport

With the release 2020.1.115 the following changes were made:

The RowValidating event is now fired when the UI virtualization prepares a row to be shown in the viewport. There is a new value in the GridViewEditOperationType enum - None for this specific case.

I need the behaviour before this release. So when UI virtualization prepares a row to be shown in the viewport the validation should not take place. Only when a cell was edited / changed. I need the ValidationResults which are not provided in RowEditEnded Event.

What do I have to change in this case?

Shape DragEnter doesn't work like ContainerShape does

"Shape" DragEnter doesn't work like "ContainerShape" does

RadDiagramContainerShape has OnDragEnter Event. so, on Diagram, if i drag shape into Containershape then DragEnter, DragOver, DragLeave are worked.

but Shape doesn't have DragEnter and DragOver.

i want to do senario that when "Shape" is dragged to other "Shape", other "Shape"'s DragEnter event is activated.

i handled DragEnter on "Shape",

"DragDropManager.AddDragEnterHandler(this, MyDragEnterEventMethod);"

but, MyDragEnterEventMethod doesn't work when "Shape" is dragged to other "Shape" on Diagram.

MyDragEnterEventMethod only work when control DragContent to DragDropManager.AddDragInitializeHandler.

DragDropManager.AddDragInitializeHandler Code is below

DragDropManager.AddDragInitializeHandler(this.diagram, OnDragSourceDragInitialize);

and OnDragSourceDragInitialize Code is below

private void OnDragSourceDragInitialize(object sender, DragInitializeEventArgs e)
{
this.dragVisualControl.Content = this.PrepareDragVisualTypeB(e.OriginalSource as RadDiagramShape);
e.DragVisual = this.dragVisualControl;
e.DragVisualOffset = e.RelativeStartPoint;
e.AllowedEffects = DragDropEffects.All;
}

}

How do i Activate Shape DragEnter, DragOver, DragLeave like ContainerShape does?

i need to cases

case 1. when it dragged "Shape1" to "Shape2", "Shape2"'s Drag Enter is activated.

case 2. when it dropped "Shape1" to "Shape2", "Shape2"'s Drop Event is activated.

ContainerShape customization Problems

Hello,
I am trying to create custom ContainerShape which looks like the attached files.

1) Sample01.png file
In the header, I want to add the 'text' and 'collapsible' button.
For the Child area, I want to add text boxes, arrow image, and connections.
In the middle, I want to add a '+' button, where a user can drag & drop a shape into containerShape.

2) Sample02.png file
In the header, I want to add 'text' and two buttons('+' and 'collapsible').
For the Child area, I want to add two separate areas, where each area contains its child items.
'+' button for each area is for a user to drag & drop a shape into the corresponding area.

3) Sample04.png file
So my question is how can I customize the red outlined area in sample04.png
to create custom containerShape described in sample01.png and sample02.png.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
