We are back on trying your suite, and we have encountered a little situation with the RadMaskedNumericInput
If the user enter any number, and then selects all the content and press DEL or Backspace, it shows "0" (thats what we want). BUT, if the user then selects all the content again and again press DEL or Backspace, then the text is empty, although the Value property still is 0. We want that everytime that the content is deleted, allways the maskedinput shows "0" (or 0.00 if its double / decimal)

The steps:
1) input any numer: 4587
2) Shift+home to select all
3) DEL to delete (it shows 0, OK!)
4) shit+home to select all, again
5) DEL to delete (it should show 0, but it is empty! BAD!)

Here is a simple App:

<Window

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

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

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

x:Class="WpfApplication3.MainWindow"

xmlns:maskedInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedInput;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input"

<Grid>

Setting the background of the main window with a theme

Hello,
I'm trying to use the Expression Dark in a WPF application and can not find a way to have the window background automatically to the right color.
Following what I've found in the forums, documentations and examples, I've come with the following code, but it does not work: the window background remains white. I know that I can code manually the background of the window to Black, but I really want the theme to be changeable, so I want the color to come from the theme.

MainWindow.xaml.cs:

using System;

using System.Windows;

using Telerik.Windows.Controls;

namespace WpfApplication2

{

public partial class MainWindow : Window

{

public MainWindow()

{

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new Expression_DarkTheme();

InitializeComponent();

}

MainWindow.xaml:

<Window

x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"

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

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

xmlns:tk="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:tkqs="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.QuickStart;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"

Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">

<Grid tkqs:ThemeAwareBackgroundBehavior.IsEnabled="True"

tk:StyleManager.Theme="Expression_Dark">

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"

Margin="5"

Text="TextBlock"

tk:StyleManager.Theme="Expression_Dark" />

<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left"

Margin="5"

Text="TextBox"

tk:StyleManager.Theme="Expression_Dark"

Grid.Row="1" />

<Button Content="Button"

HorizontalAlignment="Left"

Margin="5"

tk:StyleManager.Theme="Expression_Dark"

Grid.Row="2" />

</Grid>

</Window>

What must I change to have the background changed automatically?

Asynchronous data loading with Entity Data Source?

I have a GridView where the ItemsSource is bound to the PagedSource property of a DataPager. The DataPager ItemsSource is bound to an EntityDataSource. The problem is that this is blocking my UI thread. The GridView has a "DataLoadMode" property which can be set to Asynchronous... but the pager doesn't. How would I go about loading the data to the pager asynchronously? I tried doing this in another thread but I keep getting a cross-thread exception even though I use the dispatcher to set the property to which the pager is bound.

Trigger loading by hand

Hello

Can I load some portion of data programmatically? For example:

class Work { public string WorkTitle { get; set; } }

var query = generateQueryFor<Work>.OrderBy(w => w.WorkTitle);

var virtualQuery = new VirtualQueryableCollectionView(query) { LoadSize = 50 };

virtualQuery.ItemsLoading += (sender1, eventArgs1) =>

{

//event doesn't firing

};

virtualQuery.ItemsLoaded += (sender2, eventArgs2) =>

{

//event doesn't firing

};

// how force to load some data?

// GetItemAt doesn't loads any data

var row0 = virtualQuery.GetItemAt(0);

var row1 = virtualQuery.GetItemAt(1);

var row2 = virtualQuery.GetItemAt(2);

RadMaskedNumericInput does not bind decimal datatype correctly

Hi,

I am using RadMaskedNumericInput control for Percent input. I have decimal datatype property bound to the control. When i try to update value in control as number 55, it updates the background property as "0.55".

<telerik:RadMaskedNumericInput x:Name="uxPercentToPay" Grid.Row="6" Grid.Column="1" Margin="2,3" Width="120" Style="{StaticResource RadMaskedNumericInputStyle}" Validation.ErrorTemplate="{x:Null}" UpdateValueEvent="PropertyChanged" AutoFillNumberGroupSeparators="False" MaskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.Maximum="100"MaskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.Minimum="0" Mask="p2.2" Placeholder=" " AutoFillZeros="True"

Value="{Binding PercentToPay,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"

MaskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.IsEditorTabStop="True"/>

Background property:

public decimal PercentToPay

{

get

{

return _percentToPay;

}

set

{

if (_percentToPay == value)

{

return;

}

_percentToPay = value;

RaisePropertyChanged(() => PercentToPay);

}

Please let me know, what could be the possible miss out here.

Thanks in Advance,

Sagar
