Hello everybody,

we´re (still) updating to RadControls Q3SP1 an we still experience problems with RadMessageBox and large text, like 4000 characters.

In the program we collect multiple messages and append them to a StringBuilder using AppendLine. If this text exceeded 4000 characters, it is cut (StringBuilder.Length = 4000) and a "text-was-cut-message" is appended, so the resulting string has about 4100 charaters and is passed to the RadMessageBoxes Show method.
The resulting MessageBox shows the whole text in the upper portion of the control and is that big (rest (half) of the messagebox is empty), you can´t click "Ok-Button", because it´s located just under the bottom of my monitor.

So, if text is that big - we have to use MS MessageBox.

What I found out while making the screenshot is, that this behaviour depends on the text. I tried to make an example where I put a space after every 50 or 100 characters and a newline after every 500 characters and the text was almost shown as expected.


Greetings,
Daniel

Hello DGPunkt,

Thank you for writing. You have run across a known issue with the TextPrimitive that has been used in RadMessageBox object. We are going to address this in the next release (it is possible to include a fix in the next internal builds as well). Currently, you can place the <html> tag before your string. If this does not help, you can try to manually format the text in a couple of rows by including new lines in your string.

Dears,

I have a problem i am using Telerik windows form rad message box and display arabic text in the rad message box, but the problem is  that text wrap to second line(although the message is very short and no need to go in second line) and is not visible, the same text is working fine when i use .NET Core MessageBox.

Some times rad messagebox shows a very big message in one or two lines and that is visible.
i dont understand the exact problem, whether  some characters are creating the problem or what ??, i have matched the character in different message but find no clue :(

any suggestions.

Thank you.

Hello Farooq,

Thank you writing.

In version Q1 2013(2013.1.220) we had an issue with RadMassageBox that may lead to the undesired behavior in your case. I am glad to inform you that this issue is already resolved in our latest release Q1 2013 SP1 (2013.1.320). So my advice is to upgrade to latest version and if you continue to experience the issue to provide code snippets that demonstrate your case so I can investigate it and provide you with adequate assistance.

I hope this helps. I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi Farooq,

Thank you for writing back.

Yes, you can manipulate the functionality through reflection. There are cases when we are providing  workarounds with reflection due implementation of members that are not public and cannot be accessed without reflection. But to be able to assist you I need more information about your case and what you are trying to accomplish. So please open support ticket where you can attache project and steps how to reproduce the issue and I will be glad to help further.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi Francsco,

Thank you for replying.

Can you please elaborate your latest post? I find it hard to understand what you are trying to accomplish or what your goal is. I tested the provided code with the latest version (2014.1 226) and it seems to work as expected.

Looking forward to your response.

This Example, is to create diffence sections when you have a big text that you want to show on RadMessage, the first step is set the tags <html>Message</html>, with this tags you can enable html mode on RadMessage, and you will be setting differents secctions with the tag <br/> with this you can create a big text on RadMessage.

RadMessageBox.Show("<html>One Line<br/>Second
Line</html>", ":: Notice ::", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
RadMessageIcon.Info);

Kind Regards.

I have realized other example:

RadMessageBox.Show("<html><b><span style=\"color:#f26609; font-size:18pt\">Title:</span></b><br/><br/><span style=\"color:blue; font-size:16pt\">Error on Save..!!</span><br/><span style=\"color:gray; font-size:12pt\">Check with your Administrator.</span></html>", ":: Notice ::", MessageBoxButtons.OK, RadMessageIcon.Exclamation);

You can see the image attached.

I hope to answer your questions.

Kind Regards.

Hello, Raneesras,    

The following code snippet demonstrates how to customize the OK button's color and title bar' color:

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadButton OKbutton = RadMessageBox.Instance.Controls["radButton1"] as RadButton;
    OKbutton.BackColor = Color.Red;
    OKbutton.ButtonElement.ButtonFillElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
    RadMessageBox.Instance.FormElement.TitleBar.TitleBarFill.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
    RadMessageBox.Instance.FormElement.TitleBar.TitleBarFill.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
    RadMessageBox.Show("Text", "Caption", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}

Hello, Raneesras,    

I am glad that you have found a solution that suits your requirement. However, I would like to note that accessing the child elements of a certain control will lower the code readability and it may be difficult to maintain it later. That is why I would highly recommend you to access the desired control from the Controls collection of the RadMessageBox.Instance. Then, use the publicly exposed properties for customizing the style.

I hope this information helps.

Dess | Tech Support Engineer, Sr.
