RadTreeView Sorting for Windows WPF

Hi,

I'm using *Telerik UI for WPF with C#*

I need to be able to sort the top node list of my RadTreeView alphabetically - that's it !

So the user clicks on the header row "Project" and it sorts ASC, click again and it toggles to DESC.

All the examples I've come across are for other Telerik platforms (web or winforms etc.).

My TreeView:

<telerik:RadTreeView x:Name="ProjectsTreeView" Grid.Row="1"
telerik:PersistenceManager.StorageId="THOR_ProjectTree"
ItemsSource="{Binding ProjectData}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource Project}"
BorderBrush="Gray"
ItemsIndent="0"
SelectionMode="Single"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTreeViewItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ItemContainerStyle}"
ItemClick="ProjetsTreeView_ItemClick"
BorderThickness="1"/>

Please advise (C#),

Barry

telerik:RadDocking group re-ordering

Hi,

I am having 5 RadGroup inside RadSplitContainer in my View and data binding is happening through using PRISM and MVVM.

When the RadGroup is getting pinned and unpinned, that particular RadGroup is moving to last in the sequence.

I don't want this behavior. I want the group show in the same sequence as it is declared in XAML.

Please suggest how I Can achieved this behavior.

Thanks & Regrads

Tricky header bindings in GridViewDataColumn

Hi,

I'm having some trouble using bindings in my column headers. After reading this post: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/gridview/binding-the-header-property-of-a-gridviewcolumn.aspx it seems like you have to have the property you are binding to available when the column is initialised, otherwise it will not get updated.

I am wanting to bind to a property of the data context of a parent of the control that hosts the RadGridView. The DataContext hasn't been set by the time the column is initialized. Is there a way around this? I had a few ideas:

- Is there some event I can handle which is called before the columns are initialized, but after we have access to the UserControl's parent and hence its DataContext.
- Is there a way to reset the columns and hence the bindings?

I'm trying an MVVM approach, but I can't seem to fit in the ModelView approach with the column headers as I can't bind. The only way is to have the DataContext set in the control constructor, but that's fairly limited and I would rather avoid it.

Any suggestions / tips would be much appreciated!

Xaml TextBox Text binding code make it common

We have big WPF application with multiple screen. Each screen have multiple textboxes.

We have used MVVM pattern so textboxes are bound to VM using like:
{Binding Name,Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}

In Most of the textboxes BUT not all, we want to set Delay Property to some value say 500 like:

{Binding Name,Delay=500,Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}

Rather than setting this on each textbox xaml line is there some shorter way to handle this?

something like Style.xaml etc?
These changes are applicable for most of the textboxes but not all....

RadTileView only updating one record at a time

Hello,

I have a program I am creating where the tileview represents a collection of computers, with one tile per computer. The data that backs this is bound as follows;

<telerik:RadTileView

x:Name="radTileView"

MaximizeMode="ZeroOrOne"

ColumnWidth="250"

ItemsSource="{Binding Data, Source={StaticResource context}}"

ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}"

ContentTemplate="{StaticResource ContentTemplate}"

IsVirtualizing="True"

RowHeight="250"

Grid.Column="2"

Grid.Row="0"

Margin="8,1,10,10"

/>

In my ViewModel, Data is an observable collection, like this;

private ObservableCollection<ImagingData> _imagingData = new ObservableCollection<ImagingData>();

public ObservableCollection<ImagingData> Data

{

get

{

return _imagingData;

}

set

{

_imagingData = value;

OnPropertyChanged(() => this.Data);

}

Data is updated by a timer event that polls a database backend. If i simply update Data by replacing it, everything works fine, except it makes for a poor UI experience since the pane resets constantly. To make for a better experience, where tiles stay maximized, and stay where you put them, i implemented a sort of delta sync. When the timer event pops, I call UpdateData() with the UI dispatcher. UpdateData copies Data to an array, then adds new records, deletes records that are not in scope anymore, and updates fields on records that already exist. it is a crude proof of concept, but here it is;

private void UpdateData(ImagingData[] newItems, ImagingData[] existing)

{

//var dataArray = _imagingData.ToArray();

foreach (var item in existing)

{

var matchedItem = newItems.Where(c => c.ComputerName == item.ComputerName).FirstOrDefault();

if (matchedItem == null)

Data.Remove(item);

}

foreach (var item in newItems)

{

var matchedItem = existing.Where(c => c.ComputerName == item.ComputerName).FirstOrDefault();

if(matchedItem == null)

{

Data.Add(item);

return;

}

matchedItem.ImagingPasses = item.ImagingPasses;

matchedItem.LastKnownActivity = item.LastKnownActivity;

matchedItem.ImagingState = item.ImagingState;

}

OnPropertyChanged("Data");

}

The problem I am having that when i use this method, only 1 record is added to the Data collection each time the update timer fires, even though I have confirmed that the update loop does iterate over all the members. Visually, you see one tile appear, then the next, then the next, etc, separated by one timer iteration. I have tried all manner of different ways to remedy this but nothing seems to work.

Can we change the time picker up drop down screen width?

In RadTimePicker, click the toggle button, the drop down screen shows up.
Since we layout the RadTimePicker in right side main screen, the drop down screen seems to wider, it crosses the main window boundary. See the attachment.
Is there a way we can change the drop down screen width, so it will not cross the main window boundary?
thx!

Pasting MS Word Formatted Fragments

Trying to figure out the best way via code to paste from a word document (using interop) a fragment of formatted text to a RichTextEditor as Html that is filtered. I can easily just paste, but then it seems I get a whole bunch of Word specific format. I want to paste filtered text. How would I go about this?
