How to add WPF-UserControl to RadElement

Hallo,

I have Winforms Application.

I created WPF-UserControl.

I'm trying to add this WPF-UserControl (per elementHost) to one of RadElement in my Winforms Form.

It could be RadPanelElement or my custom class extending RadElement.

Is it possible, and if it is possible how can i add, place WPF-UserControl on RadElement?

Or how can i prepare my custom radElement which will show WPF-UserControl?

RadGridView Auto-Selecting Item When Item Is Added/Removed In ObservableCollection

Having a bizarre issue with RadGridView where it seems to randomly be selecting items in the grid when the underlying ObservableCollection is changed. My desired behavior is the "CurrentItem" becoming null when the selected item is removed from the underlying collection, and obviously for the GridView not to select an item when added when the selection is blank. My code is as follows:

radGridView1.AutoExpandGroups = true;
            var gd = new GroupDescriptor();
            gd.GroupNames.Add("RandomProp1", ListSortDirection.Ascending);
            radGridView1.GroupDescriptors.Add(gd);
            var sd1 = new SortDescriptor("RandomProp2", ListSortDirection.Descending);
            radGridView1.SortDescriptors.Add(sd1);
            var sd2 = new SortDescriptor("RandomProp3", ListSortDirection.Ascending);
            radGridView1.SortDescriptors.Add(sd2);
            radGridView1.MultiSelect = false;
            radGridView1.DataBindingComplete += RadGridView1_DataBindingComplete;
            radGridView1.DataSource = App.MasterList;

private void RadGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
        {
            Log.WriteLine("RadGridView_DataBindingComplete");
            radGridView1.CurrentRow = null;
            radGridView1.CurrentRowChanged += RadGridView1_CurrentRowChanged;
        }

When the underlying collection is being changed, I'm doing the following:

BeginInvoke on the main thread

Locking the collection

Updating items as such:

DynamicCollection[i] = new CustomObject(fillerProperties);

Is the above possibly the issue? I know this is the correct way to update ObservableCollections in WPF when bound to a GridView, not sure if WinForms behaves differently.

Grouped row not updating in hierarchy with BindinList

When using GridView in Hierarchy mode with a Template and binding to BindingList for Children:

public class Parent

{

public Parent()

{

children = new BindingList<Child2>();

}

public int Id { get; set; }

public string Prop1 { get; set; }

public BindingList<Child2> children { get; set; }

}

public class Child2 : INotifyPropertyChanged

{

public int Id { get; set; }

public string Prop1 { get; set; }

private int _Prop2;

public int Prop2

{

get { return this._Prop2; }

set

{

if (this._Prop2 != value)

{

this._Prop2 = value;

if(PropertyChanged != null)

PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Prop2"));

}

public string Prop3 { get; set; }

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

}

If there is grouped columns in child template, changing properties is not reflected:

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

BindingList<Parent> data;

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

InitGrid();

data = new BindingList<Parent>();

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)

{

Parent parent = new Parent() { Id = i, Prop1 = "testProp" + i };

for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)

{

Child2 child = new Child2() { Id = i * j, Prop1 = "testProp" + i, Prop2 = j % 2, Prop3 = "another" };

parent.children.Add(child);

}

data.Add(parent);

}

this.radGridView1.DataSource = data;

this.radGridView1.CellDoubleClick += radGridView1_CellDoubleClick;

}

void radGridView1_CellDoubleClick(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)

{

Child2 child = e.Row.DataBoundItem as Child2;

MessageBox.Show(child.Prop2.ToString());

}

private void InitGrid()

{

this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(CreateColumn("Id"));

this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(CreateColumn("Prop1"));

GridViewTemplate template = new GridViewTemplate();

template.AllowAddNewRow = false;

template.AllowDeleteRow = false;

template.AllowEditRow = false;

template.AutoGenerateColumns = false;

template.Columns.Add(CreateColumn("Id"));

template.Columns.Add(CreateColumn("Prop1"));

template.Columns.Add(CreateColumn("Prop2"));

template.Columns.Add(CreateColumn("Prop3"));

GridViewRelation r = new GridViewRelation(this.radGridView1.MasterTemplate, template);

r.ChildColumnNames.Add("children");

template.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

template.EnableFiltering = false;

template.EnableGrouping = true;

template.ShowColumnHeaders = true;

template.ShowRowHeaderColumn = false;

this.radGridView1.EnableGrouping = false;

this.radGridView1.EnableCustomGrouping = false;

GroupDescriptor gd = new GroupDescriptor();

gd.GroupNames.Add("Prop2", ListSortDirection.Ascending);

gd.GroupNames.Add("Prop3", ListSortDirection.Ascending);

template.GroupDescriptors.Add(gd);

this.radGridView1.Templates.Add(template);

this.radGridView1.Relations.Add(r);

this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

}

GridViewTextBoxColumn CreateColumn(string Field)

{

GridViewTextBoxColumn col = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();

col.Name = Field;

col.FieldName = Field;

col.HeaderText = Field;

return col;

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.data.First().children.First().Prop2 = 1;

}

When I Click Button1 nothing happens

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Loading time when changing the content of a RadPanel

Hello,

I have a list of items in a RadPageViewPage, in which I can select an item. A specific view for the selected item, depending on its type, is displayed in another RadPageViewPage. I then have to change the content of the panel in the second RadPageViewPage depending on the selected item, which is done simply with the following code:

1 UserControl userControl = new UserControlRobotActionProcess();
2 userControl.Parent = radPanel1;

I observed it took quite long to display the UserControl in the panel and measured the time of the line of code 2 above: 400ms. I then tested to display the same control, but with standard WinForms controls instead of the Telerik ones. The same line of code takes 1ms.

I think that the views I use could be optimized and could be loaded faster. I attach a screenshot of the view I have loading time issues with. Here is also the list of Telerik controls I use:

- RadSpinEditor

- RadPanel

- RadPageView

- RadPageViewPage

- RadLabel

- RadGroupBox

- RadButton

- RadRadioButton

- RadCheckBox

- RadTextBox

Do you know if I can improve the loading time of this UserControl?

Please feel free to tell me if you need more information.

Kind regards,

Antoine

How to change row color in radgridview

Hello, we have a program requirement where the user can select one or multiple rows and then choose to "highlight" those rows from a given set of colors.
This process can be repeated multiple times allowing the user to color code rows in different colors at a time.
The work flow ->
User selects rows
User then chooses the Highlight Rows menu option which is a drop down for different colors.
The rows background are then set to that color.

Rinse -> repeat as the user sees fit.

There is also a reset option that resets all the rows back to the default colors.

I did not see how to perform this specific type of background color assignment in either the Formatting Rows or Conditional Formatting Rows help sections.

If you could please help us understand how to perform this specific kind of row formatting, it would help us to be able to convert to the Telerik RadGridView from our previous 3rd party grid control.

Export with Console Application

Hi,

Is it possible to databind a grid and exports it to excel from a ConsoleApplication project ?

I tried the LoadElementTree method, that doesn't work, I can't get my grid populated with data using the datasource member.
The only working method what the Grid.Rows.Add.

The other issue is that the ExportVisualSettings can't be set to true or you'll get an exception.

Is there a clean way to get it to work ?

Thanks,

GridView
