Hi

In my application the user should be able to switch between layouts at runtime. The hosted content (Radpanes content) can be different.

How do I achieve this.

 

I loading the initial layout works as expected. Dynamically adding Panes works too.

But if I call the LoadLayout Method again, nothing happens.

 

 public void LoadLayout(string layoutData)
        {
          
            using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                using (var sw = new StreamWriter(ms))
                {
                    sw.Write(layoutData);
                    sw.Flush();
                    ms.Position = 0;
                    _dockingManager.LoadLayout(ms);
                }
            }
        }

 

Before calling LoadLayout I tryed following :

(_dockingManager is RadDocking)

1) _dockingManager.Items.Clear();

2)

public bool DeletePanels(List<Guid> moduleIDs)
        {
            if (_dockingManager != null)
            {
                try
                {
                    foreach (Guid modID in moduleIDs)
                    {
                        var pane = _dockingManager.Panes.FirstOrDefault(p => RadDocking.GetSerializationTag(p).ToString().Equals(modID.ToString()));

                        if (pane != null)
                        {
                            ((TelerikDockingPanesFactory)_dockingManager.DockingPanesFactory).RemovePaneAdapter(_dockingManager, pane);
                        }

                    }

                    _dockingManager.UpdateLayout();
                    return true;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                    
                }
            }
            return false;
        }

Any ideas?

I want to change the default headers of the groups in the grid. There are two scenarios where I feel the need to do this.

1. Complex data types
When the value to group by is a simple datatype, say a string, the default headers work fine. But when grouping by a columns that is bound to a complex datatype it doesn't look as good. In those cases the headers will show all the properties of the class and the values in it.
An example:
Let's say I have a class:
public class MemberType
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
}
My grid has one column that is bound to this type. In the column XAML I specify that the Description should be displayed and all works fine. But when I group by that column, the headers of all groups will not show only the Description but all properties, like this:
"Id:1 Desciption:Editor" and so on. How can I specify that I only want to show the value of the Description i the group headers (which is what the rows are grouped by).

2. Boolean values
When the value to group by is a boolean, there will be two groups with the headers "true" and "false" (assuming both values are represented in the data). This is the desired behavior, but I would like the headers to be "Yes" and "No" instead.

I would like to create a graph view that shows a live data that is being received from a data sampler. This view, when running, shows, for example, the last 1000 samples.

When paused, it shows a scroll bar that allows the user to scroll back and forth and see all the sampled data.

I'm thinking of saving the data into file, so when the graph is paused, the data is read from the file using FileStream.

 

I saw the examples of VirtualQueryableCollectionView, but it still doesn't work.

I've tried with and without the VirtualQueryableCollectionView. I've created a collection that derives from IReadOnlyList<int> and I return 20,0000,000 as the count and I return the index as the item (this is just an example, for checking the data virtualization). However, the GetEnumerator (on both cases) is being called, and since the count is 20M, I yield return each of the items.

I was hoping that the VirtualQueryableCollectionView will somehow prevent the GetEnumerator call (or will be able to get just the relevant portion of the items).

 

 

I have seen examples where a similar tactics is being used, and a CollectionChanged event is being raised when the items are ready. However, they still return the full count, but on these examples, the GetEnumerator is called at start, and not also after the CollectionChanged event (on my code, it is called after the CollectionChanged, so I'm back to the same problem that I had), and no item is being returned using the GetEnumerator, but only with the Indexer.

 

What am I missing?

 

Can you show me an example of streaming data to chart view from a file?

(for example, have each 4 bytes in the file represent an Int32 which is the value, so the offset inside the file for a specific item will be the index * 4).

 

Thanks.

I have a gridviewcolumn that is bound to a DateTime (CartridgeExpiration). I am formatting the data based on the bound Property "ExpirationDateFormat". When I set the application culture to "de-DE" and provide a DataFormatString of "MM/dd/yyyy", I see '.' as the date separator in the filter list instead of '/'. I was seeing the same behavior in the dates displayed in the gridview column until I created a CellTemplate with the MultiBinding.

Here is my GridViewColumn definition:

                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding CartridgeExpiration}" 
                                             ShowFieldFilters = "False" 
                                            ShowFilterButton = "False"
                                            DataFormatString="{Binding ExpirationDateFormat}"
                                            HeaderCellStyle="{StaticResource SharedRadGridHeaderCellSmallFont3LineStyle}">
                                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                                                <TextBlock AutomationProperties.AutomationId="QcHistoryCartridgeExpirationHeader"
                                                           Text="{x:Static AdminStrings.QcHistoryCartridgeExpirationHeader}"
                                                           TextWrapping="Wrap" TextAlignment="Center" FontSize="16"/>
                                            </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                                                <DataTemplate>
                                                    <TextBlock>
                                                        <TextBlock.Text>
                                                            <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource DateToStringConverter}">
                                                                <Binding Path="CartridgeExpiration"/>
                                                                <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource AncestorType=UserControl}" Path="DataContext.ExpirationDateFormat"/>
                                                            </MultiBinding>
                                                        </TextBlock.Text>
                                                    </TextBlock>
                                                </DataTemplate>
                                            </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

ExpirationDate = "MM/dd/yyyy" shows in the filter as "MM.dd.yyyy"

How can I get the filter display to use the format I have provided?

Thanks.

George

Hello team,

I am persisting the grid settings. And I have a button in each gridview's control panel as "Reset to default".

I am deleting the related bin file, but the default settings (as stated in xaml) is not being reflected to current grid in screen. I tried, rebinding/re assigning itemssource/InvalidateVisual with no luck. How can i reset the gridview settings, without being have to keep a default bin file and restoring that bin file, when the user clicks "reset to default".

If I have the MinValue set to 0 and I enter a negative value in the control, the value is getting set back to 0. How would I change the behavior to change the value to the absolute value of the entry rather than zero? I already have a control built that extends from RadNumericUpDown, just not sure what to hook up to to update the value. Thanks!

Hello,

We're using the RadRichTextBox control with the Windows8 Theme.
And it's possible to insert an image in the text but as soon as the user tries to select this image to resize it, the application crashes:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll

At first I thought we were doing something wrong, so I've tried to recreate the problem in one the the sample projects.
By doing so I've noticed that this problem occurs only when using the Windows8 Theme. Changing the theme to Windows7 for example makes the issue disappear. But this is not an actual solution for us, because we'd like to be able to use the Windows8 theme too.

I've attached a screenshot of the exception details. I apologise for it being in Dutch but I believe it still to be of use here.
It says that the resource key RadButtonStyle is missing. I'd like to point out again that this seems to only occur with the Windows8 theme.

To recreate the problem you can use the SaveAndSaveAs_WPF sample project and just set the theme of the RadRichTextBox control to Windows8.
You can just take a screenshot and paste it in the RadRichTextBox, when you try to resize this image the NullReferenceException should be thrown.
Below is an example of the adjusted MainWindow.xaml:

<Window x:Class="SaveAndSaveAs_WPF.MainWindow"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="0" >
            <telerik:RadButton  Content="New" Click="NewDocumentButton_Click" Padding="25,5" Margin="5" />
            <telerik:RadButton  Content="Open" Click="OpenButton_Click" Padding="25,5" Margin="5" />
            <telerik:RadButton  Content="Save" Click="SaveButton_Click"  Margin="5" Padding="25,5"/>
            <telerik:RadButton  Content="Save As" Click="SaveAsButton_Click"  Margin="5" Padding="25,5"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <telerik:DocumentRuler Grid.Row="1">
            <telerik:RadRichTextBox
                    telerik:Analytics.Name="rtb"
                    x:Name="radRichTextBox"
                    IsSpellCheckingEnabled="False"
                    LayoutMode="Paged"
                    AllowDrop="True" >
                <telerik:RadRichTextBox.Style>
                    <Style TargetType="telerik:RadRichTextBox">
                        <Setter Property="telerik:StyleManager.Theme" Value="Windows8" />
                    </Style>
                </telerik:RadRichTextBox.Style>
            </telerik:RadRichTextBox>
        </telerik:DocumentRuler>
    </Grid>
</Window>

 

Is there anything we could to in order to bypass this problem and still use the Windows8 theme?

I would like to use a glyph for the image or a RadRibbonBackstageItem, but since it expects an Icon, it doesn't seem possible. Is there some way to do it?

We’re using a couple of other Telerik controls that incorporate selection, but few if any swap to using a hand cursor for selection. We’d like to enabled selection in the Tree Map but override the default cursor so that it uses the standard Arrow cursor. Is this possible without modifying the underlying source for the control?

I have an expander that contains sub-expanders. I want to automatically close the sub-expanders when I close the main expander. I have implemented this logic using data binding, but it doesn't seem to work correctly.

Looks like binding to the IsExpanded property gets destroyed after you close the expander using the expander's button. Have omitted a call to the SetCurrentValue method...?

Example project attached. See the ReadMe.txt for details.

Pretty frustrating that you don't allow attaching archives. Doesn't encourage that much creating example projects. Your ticket system is a pain in the donkey if you are a consultant. Things could be done more easily and efficiently.

Anyways, here's a Google Drive link to download the project: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JvBukVvfmxWsRW5Wb-nRXbT5a6EOWvCd

Let me know when you have downloaded it so I can delete the file.
