I have a controls on a <UserControl> the first of which is a <telerik:RadComboBox>
I have another control that is a <telerik:RadWatermarkTextBox>
I want the second control to have the focus after the screen loads because the combobox has the OpenDropDownOnFocus property set to true.

I use txtPolicyNumber.Focus(); in the after load event but the Combobox grabs the focus.

I even have this code and it still goes to the combobox:

Any suggestions as to what I can do to make Focus() focus?

FrameworkElement focusedElement = Keyboard.FocusedElement as FrameworkElement;
if (focusedElement != null) 
{
    string focusedControlName = focusedElement.Name;
    if (focusedControlName == "txtPolicyNumber")
    {
        iefInsuranceThirdPartyVM.CanAutoDrop = true;
        txtPolicyNumber.Focus();    // WTF is making it focus on the combobox
    }
}

How to make RadCalculatorPicker recognize period or comma key as decimal

Currently the RadCalculatorPicker only recognize the decimal key from a numeric keypad. This is a problem when working on a laptop that does not have a numeric keypad.

Is there an easy and robust way to capture the period keystroke and "convert" it into a decimal key?

Regards

RadGridViewCommands stops working sometimes.

I have a RadGridView where i've replaced the "Full Text Search" with a custom control (TextBox + Label)

I'm using a Debouncer to collect text changes from the Textbox and then after 300msec - do the search:

if (e.PropertyName == "Query")
{
	debounce.Debounce(() =>
	{
		Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
		{
			FilterByQuery();
		});
	});
}

FilterByQuery() :

var searchBytextCommand = RadGridViewCommands.SearchByText as RoutedUICommand;
searchBytextCommand.Execute(Query, radgrid);

Query = String property

radgrid = x:name of the RadGridView.

at some random point in time of the lifetime of the WPF program, this function stops working !

- I dont have any other case of the Debouncer stops working so i trust that it's not the issue.

- WPF Databinding and PropertyChanged events are also working 1000 other places in the program without failing, so i trust that they work too.

- This leads me to believe that the RadGridViewCommands might have an issue..

WPF RadComboBox Disable auto select first item on databinding

We have a issue with WPF RadComboBox to disable the auto selection of first item while databinding.

I have large set of data (say 10000 items) in the application cache.

<telerik:RadComboBox
                                        x:Name="itemBox"
                                        HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                                        telerik:TextSearch.TextPath="Name"
                                        CanAutocompleteSelectItems="False"
                                        DisplayMemberPath="Name"
                                        EmptyText="Select item"
                                        IsEditable="True"
                                        IsFilteringEnabled="True"
                                        IsReadOnly="False"
                                        IsTextSearchEnabled="True"
                                        ItemsSource="{Binding ItemCollection, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                                        OpenDropDownOnFocus="True"
                                        ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
                                        SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                                        TextSearchMode="Contains">

                                                <telerik:EventBinding
                                                Command="{Binding BeginSearchCommand}"
                                                EventName="KeyUp"
                                                PassEventArgsToCommand="True" />
</telerik:RadComboBox>

We have the RadCombobox with Filter enabled.

BeginSearchCommand relay command method has implementation of filtering the cached ItemCollection and setting the value.

this.ItemCollection = new QueryableCollectionView(new ObservableCollection<ItemModel>(filtereditems));

I first load 50 items in RadCombobox and the user will try to search the items from SearchText . Then the items in the cache is filtered with searchtext and the result is assigned with the datasource property.

User start searching
The first item from the filtered result occupies the search text.

The couple of action above continues. Please help us disable autoselect while databinding.

Column with complex binding disable filtering and ordering.

Hello
I have a radgridview with two columns (for simplicity)
The first is defined like this:

RiassuntoSorgentiGrid.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn()
{
				Header = Utility.LoadString(ResourcesKeys.RipetizioniSorgente),
				ColumnGroupName = GENERALGROUPNAME,
				DataFormatString = "D",
				DataMemberBinding = new Binding("Sorgente.Ripetizioni")
				{
					Mode = BindingMode.OneWay
				}
});

The second like this:

RiassuntoSorgentiGrid.Columns.Add(new GridViewDataColumn()
{
				Header = Utility.LoadString(ResourcesKeys.RipetizioniSorgente),
				ColumnGroupName = GENERALGROUPNAME,
				DataFormatString = "D",
				DataMemberBinding = new Binding($"Sorgente.LivelliSingoli[{parametro.Id}][{l}]")
				{
					Mode = BindingMode.OneWay
				}
});

where parametro.Id and l are variables correctly defined and not null.
The grid works good, but in the second columns filtering and sorting are not active, while in the first they do.

Is there a reason for this behavior?
Thank you
Luigi

I can't set the background of a RadWatermarkTextBox, I think it is a theme issue.

https://www.telerik.com/forums/setting-background-color-when-control-is-readonly

The above link shows where someone had a similar issue but isn't clear on how to solve it.

I want to set a text box to not look disabled when it is readonly.
In the example below I set the background to red just to demonstrate that nothing happens.

I think it not happening because the application is using a theme (windows11)

Can I set the BasedOn to something that means "current theme", so that it will work?

<!-- Want readonly to not look disabled in many places -->

<Style x:Key="LxReadOnlyRadW"
       TargetType="telerik:RadWatermarkTextBox"
       BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type telerik:RadWatermarkTextBox}}">
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsReadOnly"
                 Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Background"
                    Value="red" />
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    <Setter Property="IsReadOnly"
            Value="True" />
    
</Style>

Issue with custom layout for RadVirtualKeyboard

I would like use a RadVirtualKeyboard to enter pin code in my application. And when I use it with DefaultKeyboardLayout.Numpad it work as expected - shows small pop-up windows with numpad keyboard. But when I try to load my custom layout it shows the same small window but width of keyboard's buttons is super wide.

I seems that loading custom layout reset width of UI element to full size keyboard and all my customs buttons are stretched.

Could you help me?

var kb = new RadVirtualKeyboard()
{
    VirtualKeyboardTemplateSelector = (VirtualKeyboardTemplateSelector)(MyView.FindResource("KeyTemplateSelector")),
    DefaultKeyboardLayout = DefaultKeyboardLayout.Numpad
};
keyboardWindow = new RadVirtualKeyboardWindow(kb)
{
    Header = "Enter you number",
    ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize,
    CanClose = false,
    Width = 260
};
//load custom layout
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(keyLayout);
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);
kb.LoadLayout(stream);

keyboardWindow.Show();

Here is my layout:

<RadVirtualKeyboard xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> 
    <Grid> 
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>

Change Field Caption

Hi,

i would like to change the Field Displayname of Properties used in the Pivot-Fieldlist.

I tryed to use the AddingContainerNode Event from LocalDataSourceFieldDescriptionsProvider, but it's only possible to change the

display name like

(e.ContainerInfo as PropertyInfoFieldInfo).DisplayName = "Test"

This works for the aggregate list, but in List of fields there is always the name of property visible.

I tryed to change also the caption of ContainerNode but there is no Setter implemented.

e.ContainerNode.Caption ="Test"; //it's not possible, but ist seems to be there right way

Is there another way to Change the Caption.

Thanks for help.

Best regards

Stephan
