I’m using 2 Elegant.Ui.RadioButton objects inside a Elegant.Ui.GroupBox

The first Button is checked as default. When selecting the second button, i would expect, like in standard Forms versions, the first button to be unchecked.
But both buttons are now checked.

Is this a known problem?

In order to achieve the expected behavior, you should set the RadioButton.RadioGroupName property to the same value for both instances inside your GroupBox as follows:

radioButton1.RadioGroupName = radioButton2.RadioGroupName = "RadioGroup1";

Elegant Ribbon - Calendar Control

We are using the trial edition to see if the Calendar Control will work for our application.  I trying to see if I can color code certain days (Holidays - Red, Busy Days - Yellow, Locked Days - Blue - these dates are not ranged but scattered throught the calendar year).  In the calendar control that comes with visual studio it does not allow you to change the background for that particular day, will your controll allow that.  I have tried using the daystyles but have failed to make it happen. Do you have any samples or further documentation other then the one page listed under featured articles?

Greetings--

If I do the following:

- put an Elegant.UI.Panel onto a Ribbon bar,

- then put a multiline textbox or richtextbox inside the panel

- everything works as expected except the cursor is invisible. ShowCaret / HideCaret WIN API calls do not help.

This is related to an earlier discussion about multiline text boxes within the ribbon. We need that functionality, Windows.Forms controls work, but it would great to be able to see the cursor. Please help.

Thank you. I have the latest, 4.2.

I am updating my applications to Aero look for Win Vista and 7 and I am having trouble with some of the elegant controls, for example:

All button text is painted transparent. I have tried the obvious such as changing different colors, etc. with the same result.

The screenshot above is obtained by adding a few elegant ui controls to the somewhat well known MSDN example from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163435.aspx . How do I configure elegant UI controls to look properly? Thank you,

Hi,

Trhank you

I can set the Tag property of an Elegant.Ui.Gallery item image in the Gallery Item Collection Editor, but when I try to read the image Tag in code it returns null.

In my code the gallery item is obtained using

Elegant.Ui.GalleryItem item = (Elegant.Ui.GalleryItem)BulletsGallery.Items[BulletsGallery.Items.IndexOf(BulletsGallery.SelectedItem)];

This returns the item as expected, but reading the image Tag using

item.Image.Tag

returns null (the image is not null).

Could you explain why this is please. I am using ribbon v 4.2. 

Many thanks.

Hi,

i commented on this request:
http://www.prof-uis.com/elegant-ribbon/tech-support/forum/no-autoscroll-on-elegantuitabpage-65428.aspx

as it wasn’t showing up as a new entry, i just wanted to make sure that it isn’t overlooked.
Is there a way to get this workaround, which you mentioned in this thread?

thx,

Helmut

You should try a transparent Elegant.Ui.Panel as an internediate container between your controls and the tab page. Elegant.Ui.Panel supports scrolling since version 3.8. Until that version there is no visually consistent way to use scrolling functionality.

I don’t want user to be able to minimize the ribbon, so I need to disable the default context menu on the Ribbon, how can I do so?

If you want to disable ribbon minimization by the user, you should use the Ribbon.AllowMinimizing property.

I’m using multiple line text box in Ribbon. But no matter which value I set to AcceptsReturn, the new line can not be created using ’Enter’ key 

The multiline text box is not supported in the Ribbon. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Is there any plan to support that? I need that functionality as well.

Thank you!

Just tested, multiline textbox it works fine on a form but not in the ribbon

I have found that when set Multiline to true, there are one more issue as well - if I put some text in the multiline textbox, then switch ribbon tab and switch back to the tab where I was previously, the text box can not be focused. When I click the textbox, the text in it disappear. Seems like there are a lot of issues of multiline text box in Ribbon

The Enter key is captured by the Ribbon class instead of the text box. Is there a way to walk around this?

Seems like the ’Enter’ key is not captured by the textbox at all. I wonder where does the enter key gets processed?

I am trying to add images to a elegant.ui.combobox but cannot figure out how to proceed.

I can add items but cannot associate images with these individual items.

Thanks,

Please use the ComboBox.ItemImagePropertyName and SampleComboBox.ItemHeight properties. Their usage is illustrated in the Controls sample(DataEntryControlsPage.cs).

1: I have installed elegant ui ribbon 3.8 and it works fine. but now i have installed version 4.2 and now when i want to open my previous project, visual studio crashes. (then i went to 3.8 version again and it works fine). what can be reason of it?

2: if I will buy license for 4.2 version it will work for version 3.8 too?

We have observed that when when using our software (with a recently integrated Ribbon) on Windows XP, a NullReferenceException is thrown from inside the message loop, which causes the application to crash. We are using v4.2 of the Elegant Ribbon. Here is the stack trace:

As you can see, it seems to implicate the Ribbon framework here. (In the top two lines, there were some weird characters--presumeably obfuscated class/method names--that did not paste through.)

We are still working on figuring out exactly what action is triggering it and what steps can be used to reproduce it. However, it has reproduced on each of the Windows XP systems we have tried it on so far, and none of the computers running Vista or 7. It seems to be somewhat random, as it has been observed to occur anywhere from once every 4 hours to 5 times in one hour. When the Ribbon is turned off in our software, it no longer occurs.

Any idea what might be going on here? We’re still trying to get a better understanding of it, but given that it’s happening in the Ribbon internals, it’s hard for us to debug. Any help would be appreciated.

I downloaded Elegant Ribbon 4.2 and it seems that even if I put a FormFrameSkinner onto the form, the title bar and the control boxes don’t change at all. But in the designer I did see that it has changed. What’s going on here? Why it’s OK in design mode, not in runtime?

Hi Guys,

These controls appear to be mssing the usual BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate() methods.

If this is by design, how would you load a couple of thousand items without the box continually updating?
