MaxLength for RadNumericUpDown

Hello, is it possible to set a MaxLength to the RadNumericUpDown so the user can't input more than the allowed number? (Exactly like the WPF TextBox), I tried the code below but it didn't work since ContentText is readonly:

private

void textBoxWidth_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)

{

if (textBoxWidth.ContentText.Length > 1)

{

textBoxWidth.ContentText = 9;

textBoxWidth.Value = 9;

}

}

Thanks.

Upgrade Wizard Creates lib Directory

Can you explain to me the purpose of creating the lib directory during an upgrade? This seems to be a new way of operating and it creates havoc with the projects that are shared between multiple solutions. If I upgrade solution 1 it creates all the reference files then updates the references for project 1 pointing to that directory. If I upgrade solution it creates another set of the same files but now project 1 points to the new directory. Shouldn't it just point to the GAC reference?

Also, this means that every solution ends up adding the same files to Source control because "everything in this directory" belongs in there.

To save my diagram, I'm using this code :

Dim pathDiagram As String = myDiagram.Save()

Dim xml_doc As XDocument = XDocument.Parse(pathDiagram)

The problem is that I want to save the HorizontalAlignement of the text in my custom RadDiagramConnection, and I don't know how I can do this.

For custom TextShape, the HorizontalAlignement is saved, like in the attached picture.

Do you know how I can add the save of HorizontalAlignement property during Diagram saving ?

Thank you.

Valentin.

RadGridView ControlPanelItems Binding Error

Hi All,

I created a custom gridview which inherit from radgridview. And I have a ControlPanelItem which include a toggle button, The button has IsFilteringAllowed property. It works correctly when the gridview Visible.

But when the gridview initially collapsed a binding error occured in output.

"Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=grid'. BindingExpression:Path=IsFilteringAllowed; DataItem=null; target element is 'ToggleButton' (Name=''); target property is 'IsChecked' (type 'Nullable`1')"

This is my control xaml

this is xaml.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace DemoApplication
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for CustomGridView.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class CustomGridView : UserControl
{
public CustomGridView()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
//
// Summary:
// Gets or sets a value indicating whether the control can be filtered through
// the UI.

public static readonly DependencyProperty IsFilteringAllowedProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("IsFilteringAllowed", typeof(Boolean), typeof(CustomGridView));

public Boolean IsFilteringAllowed
{
get { return (Boolean)GetValue(IsFilteringAllowedProperty); }
set { SetValue(IsFilteringAllowedProperty, value); }
}
}
}

</Grid>
</UserControl>

and this is my view

Thanks

ControlPanelItem with buttons

Hi,

on my data grids I have implemented the functionality to do an save and load the layout, reset the layout to default and to do an export to Excel. This is done by a ContextMenu defined in a style, which works fine.

<Setter Property="ContextMenu">
<Setter.Value>
<ContextMenu>
<MenuItem Header="Export to Excel" Command="{Binding ExportToExcelCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}}}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="/Resources/Icons/Excel.png" />
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="Save grid layout" Command="{Binding SaveDataGridLayoutCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}}}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="/Resources/Icons/Save.png" />
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="Load grid layout" Command="{Binding LoadDataGridLayoutCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}}}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="/Resources/Icons/Refresh.png" />
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
<MenuItem Header="Reset grid layout" Command="{Binding ResetDataGridLayoutCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorLevel=1, AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}}}">
<MenuItem.Icon>
<Image Source="/Resources/Icons/Refresh.png" />
</MenuItem.Icon>
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
Recently I discoverd the ControlPanel control. I copied/paste the code from the demo to implement the show/hide columns feature. Now I would like to switch from the above ContextMenu to a ControlPanel with buttons for each action:

<telerik:ControlPanelItemCollection>
<telerik:ControlPanelItem ButtonTooltip="Column chooser" >
<telerik:ControlPanelItem.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Columns}" BorderThickness="0">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox Content="{Binding Header, Mode=OneWay}" IsChecked="{Binding IsVisible, Mode=TwoWay}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:ControlPanelItem.ContentTemplate>
</telerik:ControlPanelItem>

<telerik:ControlPanelItem ButtonTooltip="Save/Load layout" >
<telerik:ControlPanelItem.Content>
<ListBox>
<Button Content="Export to Excel" Command="{Binding ExportToExcelCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding ?"/>
<Button Content="Save grid layout" Command="{Binding SaveDataGridLayoutCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding ?}"/>
<Button Content="Load grid layout" Command="{Binding LoadDataGridLayoutCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding ?}"/>
<Button Content="Reset grid layout" Command="{Binding ResetDataGridLayoutCmd}" CommandParameter="{Binding ?}"/>
</ListBox>
</telerik:ControlPanelItem.Content>
</telerik:ControlPanelItem>

But I'm stuck with the binding of the Command. As I'm using the MVVM pattern, the Command is bound to a command in my ViewModel. This works fine for the ContextMenu, but not for the ControlPanel.

Also, the datagrid itself needs to be send as a parameter with the command and I'm not sure how to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Hans

Is it possible to select different visual template/theme dynamically in code to handle different type of alert. For example red background for critical message while blue background is for normal alert.

Thanks.
