Hi guys,

I'm in the process of converting all existing WinForm GroupBoxes to RadGroupBoxes programatically. However there's a property called AutoSizeMode that's missing and I need some help to resize a groupbox based on the number of controls in it.

The code that I'm working with now is

    
            GroupBox dbGroupBox = new GroupBox();             
        
            dbGroupBox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(10, 0); 
        
            dbGroupBox.Name = databaseInstance + pageName; 
        
            dbGroupBox.TabIndex = 0; 
        
            dbGroupBox.TabStop = false; 
        
            dbGroupBox.Text = pageTitle + "  (Possible Matchs)"; 
        
            dbGroupBox.AutoSize = true;         
        
            dbGroupBox.AutoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.GrowOnly;                         
        
            dbGroupBox.Tag = tag.ToString(); 
        
            dbGroupBox.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

and I need to convert it into

    
            RadGroupBox dbGroupBox = new RadGroupBox(); 
        
            dbGroupBox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(460, groupBoxY); 
        
            dbGroupBox.Name = databaseInstance + pageName; 
        
            dbGroupBox.TabIndex = 0; 
        
            dbGroupBox.TabStop = false; 
        
            dbGroupBox.Text = pageTitle + "  (Possible Matchs)"; 
        
            dbGroupBox.AutoSize = true;         
        
            //dbGroupBox.AutoSizeMode = AutoSizeMode.GrowOnly;                         
        
            dbGroupBox.Tag = tag.ToString(); 
        
            dbGroupBox.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

Note that line 8 has been commented out because there's no AutoSizeMode in a RadGroupBox. Can you advise on how I can toggle a resize on the Groupbox based on the number of controls within the box? (i.e. the controls are generated dynamically.)

Thanks

RadGridView: Getting Selected Cell within Selected Row

With a RadGridView component, how do I access the contents of a single cell within a row that is selected?

In the code behind, I can access the selected item, but the selection is always the whole row. Granted, this is not unexpected as I have the selection mode set to "Row" (intentionally so). However, when actually interacting with the grid, I can click and highlight individual cells within the row selected – I have to imagine, then, that I should be able to access the specific cell highlighted. To my surprise, I've found no way to accomplish this. Is there a way?

[for context, I want to give the user the ability to copy individual cell values to the clipboard, instead of copying the whole row of values, WITHOUT changing the selection mode]

Fold/UnFold Programmatically

I'd like to have my regions folded when new .CS is loaded.. is there a way to programatically fold / unfold the display text?

Closest thing I could find was this: radSyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.FoldingManager.UnfoldAllRegionsContaningIndex(1);

Thanks! Jason

Close items directly from a MdiList?

Hi

I have one of my RadMenuItem having the MdiList set to true and it is working fine, no issues to report here.

Would it be possible to have a way to close one of the child form directly from that menu? Maybe a little X shown on the right like we see elsewhere?

DateTimePicker Focus

I have a windows form in my application which uses the datetime picker. I have noticed that there is no "Focus" property on the control. I cannot do the following:

fromDatePicker.Focus() and force my my user to interact with that control first, other Telerik controls on the form allow me to do this.

I am using the latest version of the WinForm controls and VS 2019

What am I missing?

Thanks

Best Fit functionality

Hi,
I'm trying to use the best fit functionality for ListViews. Im using a list as the datasource like this:

radListView.DataSource = List<Myclass>

and in the BindingCompleted event i do the following:

            foreach (ListViewDetailColumn c in rlv.Columns)
            {
                c.AutoSizeMode = ListViewBestFitColumnMode.AllCells;
            }

The columns are not resized at all. Could you provide me with an example of how to use this feature ?

Completion window does not open on proper location

Hello,

I have problem with completion window location when vertical scroll of SyntaxEditor is not at start position. In that case position of completion window is at the top of control, in same case, somewhere else. I reproduced such behavior on minimal example which I am sharing with you right now.

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Telerik.WinForms.Controls.SyntaxEditor.UI.IntelliPrompt.Completion;

namespace WindowsFormsApp1

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

ICompletionInfoCollection completionInfoCollection = new CompletionInfoCollection

{

new CompletionInfo("AAA", "A description."),

new CompletionInfo("BBB", "B description."),

new CompletionInfo("CCC", "C description.")

};

var completionListWindow = this.radSyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.IntelliPrompts.CompletionListWindow;

completionListWindow.Presenter.CompletionListItems = completionInfoCollection;

}

private void radSyntaxEditor1_DocumentContentChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinForms.SyntaxEditor.Core.Text.TextContentChangedEventArgs e)

{

Telerik.WinForms.Controls.SyntaxEditor.UI.CompletionListPopup completionListWindow = this.radSyntaxEditor1.SyntaxEditorElement.IntelliPrompts.CompletionListWindow;

completionListWindow.Show();

completionListWindow.Refresh();

}

As you can see in the images, in the first two cases everything is ok, but in the third image, when the vertical scroll is not at the start position (moved a little bit), the completion window has a completely wrong place.

Thank you for your answers.

Export Diagram Image

Is it possible to export the whole diagram as an image?

Image image = this.radDiagram1.ExportToImage(new Size(10000, 5000));

Clipboard.SetImage(image);

This only exports the visible area which gives me scrollbars which is not what I need. I want the entire diagram as an image.

Thanks

Paul
