After more than 10 years this is STILL a Bug.
https://feedback.telerik.com/winforms/1369181-fix-radgroupbox-with-collapsed-header-does-not-fill-the-entire-content-if-there-is-a-docked-child-control-inside-the-groupbox
The groupbox header does not collapse when I put a table layout panel inside of it.
Is this product (Telerik for winforms) still being supported? Or should I be looking elsewhere for a different controls toolkit solution for my company?
Any anchor setting works, except for right + left, then the controls start to behave weird.
this.radMultiColumnComboBox4.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radTextBoxControl2.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radSpinEditor4.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radDropDownList4.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox3.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radDropDownList3.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radSpinEditor3.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
this.radTextBoxControl1.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right;
Hi,
I added a screen with RadSpreadsheet on it. When I open that screen from the parent screen, the DPI (scale) of the whole application changes.
Please find the source in the attachment.

Hi All.
Could you please add or let me know locators for "RadChat" window for Automation purpose. I am unable to find locators on the below area.
In.NET8 Microsoft has released databinding improvements: What's new in Windows Forms .NET 8 - Windows Forms .NET | Microsoft Learn. Add Command Binding and DataContext Support in .NET 8+
When a RadValidationRule has the "PropertyName" assigned to a non-existent property, the RadVAlidationProvider.ValidateCore throws a NullReference exception because the property cannot be found via reflection and throws no error handling.
From OpenEdge ABL class, this is the code written into the forms InitializeComponent method. The "IsValid" property doesn't actually exist.
radValidationRule3:AddControl(THIS-OBJECT:myTextBox). radValidationRule3:Operator = Telerik.WinControls.Data.FilterOperator:IsNotEqualTo. radValidationRule3:PropertyName = "IsValid". radValidationRule3:ToolTipText = "Test". radValidationRule3:Value = TRUE.
While we don't expect the functionality to actually work because the property isn't actually available to .NET, but the NullReferenceException is poorly handled.
I've attached a screenshot of the bit of code from RadValidationProvider.ValidateCore where this occurs. This is from version 2020.3.1020.20
Here is the thrown stack exception details from visual studio.

Documentation about High-DPI mechanisms available on the website is very outdated and mostly does not consider the changes and improvements that Microsoft made with .net 7.0 and 8.0.
What's needed is thorough documentation about Telerik's behavior in comparison with the different situations on .net Framework 4.9 and the major .net Versions 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0.
Kind regards

I’m converting 20+ year old c# .net winform software that a clever internal ex dev wrote a themed control suite for. I’ve been working with those controls for almost the same length of time but am recently tasked with updating the whole app as customers are experiencing fall overs on some modern versions of Windows. Ive had the pleasure of (almost quietly ?) converting/updating by using Telerik for many years as my choice of replacement themed control systems.
Conversion experience has been pretty good, except for combo boxes, probably listboxes too (sorry guys Im writing this in bed at 5am so can’t/won’t just go testing). I did try, i think, using your conversion wizards without success. I do wish that you’d let us add any type of object to a combobox.item array in the same way that microsoft winform control allows.
Ive also noticed that some events dont occur in telerik, eg index changed need to be switched to valuechanged and these are only spotted when testing, which means extra work.
anyway. Bless an thanks to you all for my good experience with Progress/Telerik. Im old, poorly and crumbly now and wont be around much longer. May i last long enough not to need a pension to survive and i hope each of you invests in enough private pension to give yourselves a decent holiday or three per year ;)
I'm a Progress OpenEdge developer and found issue with RadGridView using it in a ABL application. I have been able to reproduce the issue outside of the OpenEdge environment, and have attached a project file.
To see the issue, run the app, and scroll down really quickly with scrollbar thumb to the bottom.
You will then get:
System.NullReferenceException

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The following notes will explain what we are doing, since it may not be typical.
The MaxDataGuess functionality offers a time-saving alternative for the OpenEdge BindingSource that binds to a query with
a very large result set.
Some .NET controls must know the number of records in the result set when they initialize.
By default, the ProBindingSource counts the records by reading the records in the query's result set, which can be time-consuming for large
result sets. Setting this property provides the .NET control with an estimated value to bypass the counting process.
Sometimes, the result list can contain tens of thousands records, so this functionality would be used for that use case.
The project that demonstrates the issue found with the Telerik GridView is a much simpler version of the actual OpenEdge implementation.
The Progress.Data.DataSource._actualNumberOfRecords property is just a hard coded value that takes the place of the ABL query result set list,
since this project does not include the OpenEdge specific code.
The internal implementation of the MaxDataGuess in this project is as follows:
The DataSource.Count property is originally set to 50.
See Form1.cs: pbs = new Progress.Data.BindingSource(myDataTable, maxDataGuess);
Once user scrolls through rows close to the Count property, the routine CheckForOffEnd() is called
(triggered by IDataErrorInfo.Error property).
If it determines that we are close to "current" end of rows, it adds 100 more rows calling
OnListChanged(new ListChangedEventArgs(ListChangedType.ItemAdded, ix));
to notify the grid control that we've update the Count property.
The routine FillCacheFromPVMSource() is called to fill in the CacheRow param for the specified rowIx.
The exception comes into play when the rowIx is greater than the current Count property.
If this is the case, then FillCacheFromPVMSource() updates the Count property, and also calls
OnListChanged(new ListChangedEventArgs(ListChangedType.ItemDeleted, ix));
when adjusting the Count property to notify the Telerik grid.
The exception occurs when control passes back to the Telerik code.
The rowIx is no longer valid, and the Telerik grid does not check for this.
We get the following System.NullReferenceException:
'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
Windows Forms on .net 6.0 / 7.0 / 8.0 diverges more and more from .net Framework 4.x.
Please release a version of the Demo Application that is based on the current Microsoft Release.
