Can we have a floating Label on a RadComboBox and a RadMultiColumnComboBox, same as a WatermarkTextBox?

It is quite annoying to have on a same form a WatermarkTextBox and Combo boxes as they appearance are so different.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click filter icon in column

2. Enter invalid value in filter input

3. Press Filter, the value gets underlined, suggesting some kind of error.

4. Click the place marked 1 and then 2.
This time, it seems a message appears about the cause of the error, but it doesn’t fit inside the control.

For the Spanish culture, some of the localization strings are for the German culture.

The following resource keys are the ones containing wrong values:

• PivotInlineFieldList_ValuesEmptyText
  
• PivotInlineFieldList_RowsEmptyText
  
• PivotInlineFieldList_ColumnsEmptyText
  
• PivotInlineFieldList_FiltersEmptyText
  
• Pivot_AggregateSum
  
• PivotFieldList_SetSumAggregate
  
• PivotFieldList_Top10Sum
  
• PivotFieldList_StringFormatDescription

To work around this, you could introduce a custom LocalizationManager and override the GetStringOverride method.

Pasting an invalid range of dates in the RadDateRangePicker, for example, "ABC", raises an exception.

To work around this behavior, you could subscribe to the Loaded event of RadDateRangePicker and retrieve the DateRangeMaskedInput element via the visual tree helper methods. Then, subscribe to its ValueChanging event and check whether the NewValue property of the event arguments contains any letters or characters that are not valid. If it does, set the Handled property to True.

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.dateRangePicker.Loaded += DateRangePicker_Loaded;
    }

    private void DateRangePicker_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        DateRangeMaskedInput dateRangeMaskedInput = this.dateRangePicker.FindChildByType<DateRangeMaskedInput>();

        if (dateRangeMaskedInput != null)
        {
            dateRangeMaskedInput.ValueChanging += DateRangeMaskedInput_ValueChanging;
        }
    }

    private void DateRangeMaskedInput_ValueChanging(object? sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedInput.RadMaskedInputValueChangingEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.NewValue.ToString().Any(char.IsLetter))
        {
            e.Handled = true;
        }
    }
}

Hi Team,

We have a large-scale WPF application that uses the Telerik WPF RadGridView across multiple screens. We are experiencing significant memory growth issues. Upon deep analysis of the memory dump, we observed that the RadGridView continuously pushes DispatcherPriority items into the Dispatcher queue. We also noticed an internal timer within the RadGridView that appears to be active even after the control is no longer visible.  We would like to understand how to completely detach and stop this internal timer once the control is removed from the screen, and why the RadGridView keeps pushing DispatcherItem entries into the Dispatcher queue.

Telerik Version : 2017.2.503.45

This is not quite a valid PDF file scenario according to PDF file specification. However, we may try handling it in order to show the correct number of pages. When the kid is of type Pages, it should be added to the pages traversal recursion only the first time it is met.

When importing a document containing a single associated widget annotation merged into the field dictionary the field is skipped on import and an exception is thrown.

According to the PDF Specification: Field Dictionaries: Kids:

An array of indirect references to the immediate children of this field.
In a non-terminal field, the Kids array is required to refer to field dictionaries that are immediate descendants of this field. In a terminal field, the Kids array ordinarily must refer to one or more separate widget annotations that are associated with this field. However, if there is only one associated widget annotation, and its contents have been merged into the field dictionary, Kids must be omitted.

Working with the RadContextMenu that comes from the RadRichTextBoxUI, when having analytics enabled, produces a NullReferenceException.

Manually set the Menu property on the PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp event of the RadMenuItem:

static MainWindow()
{
    EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(RadMenuItem), PreviewMouseLeftButtonUpEvent, new MouseButtonEventHandler(OnRadMenuItemPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp), true);
}

private static void OnRadMenuItemPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    RadMenuItem radMenuItem = (RadMenuItem)sender;

    RadContextMenu radContextMenu = radMenuItem.ParentOfType<RadContextMenu>();

    if (radContextMenu != null)
    {
        PropertyInfo menuPropertyInfo = radMenuItem.GetType().GetProperty("Menu", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
        if (menuPropertyInfo != null)
        {
            MethodInfo setMethod = menuPropertyInfo.GetSetMethod(true);
            if (setMethod != null)
            {
                Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
                {
                    setMethod.Invoke(radMenuItem, new object[] { radContextMenu });
                }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Background);
            }
        }
    }
}

When RadRichTextBox for WPF is hosted in a WinForms application (through ElementHost), typing with Japanese IME duplicates the typed letters, which makes the control unusable with the default behavior.

Possible workaround: Create custom caret. There are some suggestions in this forum thread: https://www.telerik.com/forums/richtextbox-doesn't-support-japanese-ime-when-hosted-in-winforms

The selection a RadComboBox hosted in RadDataForm gets cleared on commit changes. This happens when the RadComboBox is added in the EditTemplate and its IsEditable is set to True. Committing the edit clears the TextBox of the ComboBox, which clears the selection.

To work this around, subscribe to the EditEnding event of RadDataForm and clear the DataContext of the RadComboBox element.

  private void RadDataForm_EditEnding(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.EditEndingEventArgs e)
  {
      var dataForm = (RadDataForm)sender;
      var myField = dataForm.ChildrenOfType<DataFormDataField>().FirstOrDefault(df => df.Name == "myField");
      if (myField != null)
      {
          var comboBox = (RadComboBox)myField.Content;
          comboBox.DataContext = null;
      }
  }

TypeAccessException occurs in .NET Framework projects when using internal class for the data point models. The error doesn't occur in .NET 8 projects.

To work this around, upgrade the target framework of the project to .NET 8. Or use the GenericDataPointBinding class for the binding properties of the series (XValueBinding, YValueBinding, etc.), instead of the default PropertyNameDataPointBinding.
