Reusable ControlPanelItems?

Hello Telerik,

I wanted to implement a column chooser for a grid. Then I followed this doc here

http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radgridview/features/overview-controlpanel

and found out that I basically just need to add this piece of code inside my grid to achieve the desired feature.

<telerik:RadGridView.ControlPanelItems>

<telerik:ControlPanelItem ButtonTooltip="Column chooser">

<telerik:ControlPanelItem.Content>

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Columns}" BorderThickness="0">

<ListBox.ItemTemplate>

<DataTemplate>

<CheckBox Content="{Binding Header, Mode=OneWay}" IsChecked="{Binding IsVisible, Mode=TwoWay}" />

</DataTemplate>

</ListBox.ItemTemplate>

</ListBox>

</telerik:ControlPanelItem.Content>

</telerik:ControlPanelItem>

</telerik:RadGridView.ControlPanelItems>

Now my question is: Is there a way I can reuse this block of code in several grids? Such as via usercontrols?

I just want to keep my code clean. please show me the way. Thank you!

How to show Validation Error Message on GridView level

I have learned that RadGridView has data validation feature per cell and row. But in my case, I want data validation on GridView level. In my app, I have "Purchase Order Form". In this form, there is RadGridView for Purchase Order Items. The validation scenario is User must add at least one item to this RadGridView.

I use the way of Data Annotation and Validation Attribute in my ViewModel to check this validation.

[CollectionHasElements( ErrorMessage = "Purchase order must have at least one order item." )]
        public ObservableCollection<PurchaseOrderItemDecorator> PurchaseOrderItemDecorators
        {
            get { return _purchaseOrderItemDecorator; }
            set { SetProperty( ref _purchaseOrderItemDecorator, value ); }
        }

The RadGridView successfully notify the error by showing Red Border around the grid. But it somehow failed to show the error message. I attached the screenshot of this RadGridView.

In normal telerik wpf controls, it usually shows the error message on top right corner red block triangle. I wish my Gridview act like that for showing validation error message.

Thanks.

Initialize datapoints in horizontal axis

I have created a RadCartesianChart that shows live data coming in from a machine in a factory that charts the weight of each unit.

Using this xaml:

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

<telerik:CategoricalAxis />

</telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

With this code-behind:

RadObservableCollection<double> dbl = new RadObservableCollection<double>();

this.chart.Series[0].ItemsSource = dbl;

Then as data comes in, I add doubles to the dbl variable. This all works well but my horizontal axis starts with no datapoints, therefore no demarcation ticks, and the spread of the first datapoints is ridiculously wide, until it reaches a hundred and then I start removing the zeroeth point and adding the next one at the end. Then it maintains a stable appearance.

I have written a hack by adding 100 datapoints with "0" value like this:

dbl = new RadObservableCollection<double

>() { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

But I wonder if there isn't a "proper" way to get the desired result.

How to bind to 'IsChecked' property

I bind ItemsSource property to collection of elements that have 'IsChecked' property. How to bind 'RadTreeViewItem.IsChecked' property to 'MyElement.IsChecked'?

It is needed because I set IsVirtualizing="True" and thus I have to store whether item is checked in separate place.

Is it possible to change the position of the axes ?

Hello,

It could be possible to represent X axis and Y axis into bottom side and right hand, respectively?

<telerik:RadHeatMap x:Name="radHeatMap" ShowToolTips="True" CellBorderThickness="1" CellBorderColor="#FFE4E4E4">

<telerik:RadHeatMap.Definition>

<telerik:CategoricalDefinition ItemsSource="{Binding Path=HeatMapSeries}" RowGroupMemberPath="Z" ColumnGroupMemberPath="X" ValuePath="Y" Colorizer="{StaticResource HeatMapValueGradientColorizer}" />

</telerik:RadHeatMap.Definition>

</telerik:RadHeatMap>

Regards,

Gerard.

Embed an application in a RadPane.

Hello.

I need to place an application window (for example, notepad.exe) embedded within a RadPane.

I've managed to do in a Window application but do not get into a RadPane.

XAML user control located in the RadPane:

<UserControl x:Class="EmbeddedApp"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:I3TV.GAMA.WPF.UI.Media.Player.Player"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

d:DesignHeight="300"

d:DesignWidth="300"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<StackPanel x:Name="AppContainer" />

</UserControl>

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]

private static extern long SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SetWindowLongA", SetLastError = true)]

public static extern int SetWindowLongA([System.Runtime.InteropServices.InAttribute()] System.IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong);

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]

private static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hwnd, int x, int y, int cx, int cy, bool repaint);

private const int GWL_STYLE = (-16);

private const int WS_VISIBLE = 0x10000000;

public EmbeddedApp()

{

InitializeComponent();

this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(OnVisibleChanged);

}

/// <summary>

/// Create control when visibility changes

/// </summary>

/// <param name="e">Not used</param>

protected void OnVisibleChanged(object s, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

// If control needs to be initialized/created

if (_iscreated == false)

{

// Mark that control is created

_iscreated = true;

// Initialize handle value to invalid

_appWin = IntPtr.Zero;

try

{

var procInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(this.exeName);

procInfo.WorkingDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(this.exeName);

// Start the process

_childp = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(procInfo);

// Wait for process to be created and enter idle condition

_childp.WaitForInputIdle();

// Get the main handle

_appWin = _childp.MainWindowHandle;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

Debug.Print(ex.Message + "Error");

}

// Put it into this form

var helper = new WindowInteropHelper(Window.GetWindow(this.AppContainer));

SetParent(_appWin, helper.Handle);

// Remove border and whatnot

SetWindowLongA(_appWin, GWL_STYLE, WS_VISIBLE);

// Move the window to overlay it on this window

MoveWindow(_appWin, 0, 0, (int)this.ActualWidth, (int)this.ActualHeight, true);

}

Thank you!

Customizing BulletGraph

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is possible to customize some aspects of the BulletGraph control:

1. When I set the value of Minimum property to a value higher than zero, an oval is shown instead of the bar for the FeaturedMeasure, is it possible to show the bar even when the Minimum property value is higher than zero?

2. Is it possible to hide the axis of values?

3. Is it possible to change the width of the FeaturedMeasure bar? I am using a RadVerticalBulletGraph.

Thanks,

Alberto Martinez
