[Solved] Appointment stretch to fill day in MonthView.

I am using the RadScheduleView with only the MonthViewDefinition. In my application, there is no more than a single appointment per day. I want the appointment to stretch vertically to fill the cell for that day. I have tried increasing the MinAppointmentHeight property, but anything over 83 causes an expand button to be shown, and the appointment is not visible until I click the expand button. Also, the bottom portion of the day is taken up by the expand button, when I want to use the appointment for the entire area. I've attached several screenshots showing the current behavior, and an edited screenshow showing the desired behavior.

Cycle through items alphabetically

Here's the behaviour i'm looking for:

With focus on my combobox, I press 'n' once. -> The first item in the list starting with 'n' is selected.

I press 'n' again. -> The second 'n' item in the list is selected.

-------

Is there a combination of flags that causes this behavior?

If not, has anybody already written the event handler to make it work?

Cheers

Select all on double click

If I have a string value that represents a decimal number (e.g. "15.123") the current default double click behavior is to select only the text before or after the decimal. How can I change this to select all text in the field on double click?

[Solved] Row Keyboard Focus

How do I programmatically focus to the first (or any) row in my RadGridView. I can select the record and scroll to the record programmatically just fine, but it seems as if I can't get keyboard focus on the rows without first clicking into one.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Visual Indication of Frozen Columns without allowing the user to change the splitter

Hi,

Firstly, we were extremely glad to see the ability of having frozen columns on both the left and the right added to an already great product so thanks for that.

I have been asked to find out if there is a way we can have a visible distinction akin to the split column but without allowing the user to actually move / set what columns are frozen.

is this something that can be achieved easily with a style or is there already a property I am missing that will show the Left/Right FrozenColumnsSplitter but not allow the splitter to be moved?

Many thanks in advance for your help with this

Hide context cenu on scrollbar

Dear Sirs,

I'm using a RadVirtualGrid which shows a scrollbar sometimes. My issue is that when the user rightclicks on the scrollbar it shows an undesirable contextmenu.
How do I disable this contextmenu?

Follows an image attached showing this contextmenu.

Controls not visible in visual studio designer

I have a solution that uses many telerik wpf controls (grid, busyindicator, tabcontrol etc.). None are showing in the visual studio designer until I clear out hidden build folders (obj/debug etc.). There are simply white blocks where the control should be. Where this is a real issue is where the busyindicator is wrapping the whole window. All of the window controls wpf base and/or telerik controls are invisible.

If I create a new solution and simply drag controls on to a new window the controls show up fine.

Clearing out the hidden build folders and reloading a window xaml file shows the controls until i build at which point they disappear.

Can anyone assist with this please.

I am using Q2 2011.

Many thanks

SelectedItem Binding

WPF binding is two-way be default, I swapped out a bunch of controls in a project to telerik. It has come to my attention some telerik controls are not two-way by default. Is there a way to set certain bindings to two-way by default? Or would I need to explicitly do it at each location? Also, I heard that RadWatermarkTextBox is two-way by default, where could one find a list of what is and what is not if such a list exists?

GridView Export inserts a special character

I am using GridView.export() to export the gridview details in the .csv file. After export I can see some special characters inserted in the strings such as " Â" if the string consists of symbol like "<abc>". Is there any way to avoid addition of special characters while exporting?

e.g.
I was trying to export a file having list of names. One of name string consists of string like "xy<abc>z". After performing export functionality a special character gets inserted in between the name such as "xy<abc>Âz". Because of this name displayed on grid and exported file does not match.

ExportToPdf and then add additional content

Hi guys,

I'm desperately trying to find the easiest way of accomplishing this. In short I have a RadGridView of which I have used the ExportToPdf method successfully to export the grid in a landscape format to PDF.

GridDetails.ExportToPdf(stream, new GridViewPdfExportOptions()

{

ShowColumnHeaders = true,

ShowColumnFooters = true,

ShowGroupFooters = true,

PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape,

ExportDefaultStyles = true,

AutoFitColumnsWidth = true

});

I have been asked whether I can now include the company logo and title to the top, as well as additional text at the bottom. I have looked at trying to use the ExportToRadFixedDocument method, however I cannot seem to get the grid to appear in landscape.
I have tried the following code only to find the page rotated to be landscape, but it's contents appearing as if it were still portrait:

GridViewDocumentExportOptions options = new GridViewDocumentExportOptions();

options.AutoFitColumnsWidth = true;

options.ExportDefaultStyles = true;

options.ShowColumnHeaders = true;

RadFixedDocument fixedDoc = GridDetails.ExportToRadFixedDocument(options);

RadFixedPage page = fixedDoc.Pages[0];

page.Rotation = Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Data.Rotation.Rotate270;

This makes sense as the Fixed document is no doubt generated in portrait by the ExportToRadFixedDocument method and unlike GridViewPdfExportOptions, GridViewDocumentExportOptions does not have a PageOrientation property to specify otherwise.

My last remaining option was to use RadFixedDocumentEditor and draw the whole thing from scratch, however if I can avoid this I would rather not spend the time trying to figure out where to draw each row of the grid and whether it needs to be split across multiple pages.

Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to generate a FixedDocument from a RadGridView that has it correctly rotated from which I can then add additional items using the FixedContentEditor.

Thanks
Marc
