Hi,

I want to display text above the (bottom) border. Therefore, I am experimenting with RadLabel and tried this by setting the ZIndex of LabelElement.LabelText above the ZIndex of LabelElement.LabelBorder which unfortunately does not work. All overlapping letters are just cut. Now, I would need to expand the controls size by which the border would move further below the text which is not what I want.

How can I achieve this?

It would be even better if the border would leave some space around the text like in your web menu here on any "overlapping" letter ("j", "g", "p", "q", "y") but I assume this is not possible.

The ribbon bar has a save button... and I'd like to add special behavior when the user clicks the save button.

Is there any way to intercept or override (with add handler perhaps) the save button click event?

this exception will happen randomly in my program ,but i cann't reproduce it , and it cann't be catched by program. so i want to know when and how will this exception happen . i want to check my program and find if there is such code which will make this exception happen

Hi,

I am populating a GridViewComboBoxColumn in RadGridView with data from an ArrayList.

How to set a default value on the column (using index from ArrayList or maybe just using string compare) on grid load?

Please advise.

Does anyone know how to access the ApplicationMenu on a RadRibbonForm?

I'm trying to add items to the RightColumn area but so far I've not found any documentation on how to get to the Application menu that is NOT added separately but is part of the RadRibbonForm inherently.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I did not find the element, primitive or whatever may be responsible for the color of the hook when a RadCheckBox is checked. Adjusting ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.ForeColor only applies to the indeterminate square but not to the checked hook.

Am I even able to adjust it's color and would it be dependend of ButtonElement.CheckMarkPrimitive.CheckElement.CheckPrimitiveStyle?

I have some data driven edit fields that I need to edit based on the ControlType enum value in the event handler shown below. Mostly its working, but i have a few questions:

1. Note the commented code in DateEntry. I'd like to customize the date editor as I'm doing this using a DateTimePicker elsewhere in the application. How can I access the properties show in this code?

2. Is there an equivalent of a CheckBox or will I need to use a Yes/no combo box?

Thanks

Carl

I am using a MultiComboBox column in a grid to display attribute types. This is the code to add the column:

                GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn col = new GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn("");
                col.DataSource = maintenance.AttributesTypesSelectAll();
                col.DisplayMember = "attributetype";
                col.ValueMember = "attributetypeid";
                col.FieldName = "attributetypeid";
                col.HeaderText = "Type";
                this.grdAttributes.Columns.Add(col);

This is the code to show the correct editor when the column is selected:

       private void grdAttributes_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.grdAttributes.CurrentColumn is GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn)
            {
                if (!this._isColumnAdded)
                {
                    this._isColumnAdded = true;

                    RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement editor = (RadMultiColumnComboBoxElement)this.grdAttributes.ActiveEditor;
                    editor.EditorControl.MasterTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
                    editor.EditorControl.Columns.Add(new GridViewTextBoxColumn("attributetype"));
                    editor.EditorControl.Columns["attributetype"].HeaderText = string.Empty;
                    editor.AutoSizeDropDownToBestFit = true;
                }
            }
        }

This works correctly and maps the column to the right value when the column is loaded, but when I edit the column or add a new column it doesn't retain the value. I feel like I'm missing a step but just not sure what at this point. What is the correct way to use a MultiComboBox in a RadGrid to show the text assoicated with an ID field rather than the ID, and then retain that value on add/edits.

Hi, i'm evaluating radchat for winforms for a messenger project i have to do.  

does it natively support multiple authors that are separate from each other?  Think a typical messenger like face book messenger etc.  you have a list of people you're talking to on the left and the current person you're talking to on the right.  

does rad chat support that natively?  if not are there any samples or how too's that show this?

i'd like it to know when a different author is posted to the control and put it in the correct person on the left and light up etc showing it's got a new message.

i've tried adding multiple authors to it with different messages but it just puts them all in the same window with different names above them.

i really need them to be separated out into their own conversations.

Thanks!
