RadGridView AutoExpandGroups problem

Hello,

I'm using telerik 2012 for WPF (Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.dll file version is 2012.3.1129.40).

I've defined grouping for a RadGridView, and set the AutoExpandGroups property to True.

When the Grid is opened, the groups are expanded, yet an empty area appears below the grid, and disappears only after I collapse and expand again one of the groups.

Please see the attached screenshot.

Thanks,
Guy E.

Runtime Theme Switching

I am attemtping to have my application switch from a default theme of Visual Studio 2013 Dark to the Windows 8 Touch during runtime. The Visual Studio theme applies correctly but when I attempt to switch the theme dynamically to the Touch theme I get the following error: Cannot find resource named 'ButtonIconForeground_MouseOver'. Resource names are case sensitive. I understand what the error is but I don't understand why it is happening. I am using the following Telerik DLLs:

Telerik.Windows.Controls
Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data
Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking
Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation
Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input
Telerik.Windows.Data

This is my code to apply the default Visual Studio 2013 Dark theme:

<Application x:Class="Mantis.Client.App"

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

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

xmlns:resources="clr-namespace:Mantis.Client.Resources"

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

<Application.Resources>

<ResourceDictionary>

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/VisualStudio/System.Windows.xaml" />

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/VisualStudio/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml" />

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/VisualStudio/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.xaml" />

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/VisualStudio/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.xaml" />

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/VisualStudio/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml" />

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/VisualStudio/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml" />

</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

<HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="MenuItemTemplate"

ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" />

</HierarchicalDataTemplate>

<Style x:Key="MenuStyle"

TargetType="telerik:RadMenuItem"

BasedOn="{StaticResource RadMenuItemStyle}">

<Setter Property="IsCheckable"

Value="{Binding IsCheckable}" />

<Setter Property="IsChecked"

Value="{Binding IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}" />

<Setter Property="IsSeparator"

Value="{Binding IsSeparator}" />

<Setter Property="IsEnabled"

Value="{Binding IsEnabled}" />

<Setter Property="StaysOpenOnClick"

Value="{Binding StaysOpenOnClick}" />

<Setter Property="Icon"

Value="{Binding Image}" />

</Style>

</ResourceDictionary>

</Application.Resources>

</Application>

public partial class App : Application

{

private MantisBootstrapper _bootstrapper;

protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)

{

Telerik.Windows.Controls.VisualStudio2013Palette.LoadPreset(Telerik.Windows.Controls.VisualStudio2013Palette.ColorVariation.Dark);

base.OnStartup(e);

this._bootstrapper = new MantisBootstrapper();

this._bootstrapper.Run();

}

protected override void OnExit(ExitEventArgs e)

{

this._bootstrapper.Shutdown();

base.OnExit(e);

}

Here is where I apply the Windows 8 Touch theme:

private void RadMenuItem_Click(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)

{

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear();

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows8TouchResourceDictionary());

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/Themes/Touch/System.Windows.xaml", UriKind.Relative) });

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/Themes/Touch/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml", UriKind.Relative) });

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/Themes/Touch/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.xaml", UriKind.Relative) });

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/Themes/Touch/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.xaml", UriKind.Relative) });

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/Themes/Touch/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml", UriKind.Relative) });

App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/Themes/Touch/Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.xaml", UriKind.Relative) });

}

GridView scrolls when tabbing out

If RadGridView has vertical scroll bar and I tab out the scroll viewer scrolls on its own.

I have 1 gridView and 2 buttons, I select a row on gridview and then hit tab, the focus is on the button but the grid automatically scrolls.

<Grid DataContext="{StaticResource MyViewModel}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<telerik:RadGridView Name="playersGrid"
ItemsSource="{Binding Players}"
AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" TabStopMode="Skip"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Number}" TabStopMode="Skip"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Position}" TabStopMode="Skip"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Country}" TabStopMode="Skip"/>
</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>

<StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<telerik:RadButton Name="Button1"
Content="ScrollIntoView"
Click="Button1_Click"
Margin="5"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<telerik:RadButton Name="Button2"
Content="BringIndexIntoView"
Click="Button2_Click"
Margin="5"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>

ChartView null values handling

I am using the newest version of telerik libraries, but on my ChartView controls are null values displayed as 0s so on LineChart lines are there evry time pointing to 0 where null value is avaiulable.

Is this the way it is supposed to work ? DoI have to use old version of Chart (RadChart) to have empty (null) vales properly displayed ?

Cheers,
Robert

TreeListView - cursor always set to arrow - nodragindicator cursor missing

Hi,

I want to use the default drag/no-drag cursors on the RadTreeListView control to keep it consistent with other controls. However I see that RadTreeListView implements OnGiveFeedback event and always sets the cursor to an 'Arrow' and also sets e.Handled to true. Firstly, the cursor here should be set based on DragDropEffects and should not be forced to Arrow. Secondly, e.Handled should not be set to true as one can never add a handler the OnGiveFeedback event which I can use to change the arrow. Attached is a screenshot..

RadTreeListView.cs

private void OnGiveFeedback(object sender, Telerik.Windows.DragDrop.GiveFeedbackEventArgs e)

{

e.SetCursor(Cursors.Arrow);

e.Handled = true;

if (e.Effects != DragDropEffects.None)

return;

this.OnDropImpossible(this.CurrentDragVisual);

}

Bind to "normal" properties in dynamic object

Hi,

we want to bind a RadGridView to a collection of objects that implement DynamicObject. However, we don't want to bind to the dynamic properties, but only classical properties (e.g. the Name property in the following example).

public class MyDynamicObject : DynamicObject

{

public string Name { get; set; }

public override bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object result)

{

return base.TryGetMember(binder, out result);

}

public override bool TrySetMember(SetMemberBinder binder, object value)

{

return base.TrySetMember(binder, value);

}

However, the RadGridView only tries to bind to the dynamic members and throws exceptions if the dynamic member is not found. It does not even check if there is a normal property with the same name. This affects not only binding, but also sorting, grouping and filtering.
The typical behavior in WPF (e.g. when using a binding) and C# (when using the dynamic keyword) is to check for normal properties first! This should be the same in the RadGridView.
