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.

System.NullReferenceException
HResult=0x80004003
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Documentation about High-DPI mechanisms available on the website is very outdated and mostly does not consider the changes and improvements that Microsoft made with .net 7.0 and 8.0.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

Repro-steps:

1. Create a RadGridView
2. MultiSelect = true
3. SelectionMode = CellSelect
4. Fill it with lots of cells (in my case: 7 columns, 8544 rows)
5. Press CTRL-A
6. Press Delete

Expected behavior:

• All rows are gone

Observed behavior:

• 50/50 change that some rows remain.

I traced the problem back to the method GridViewSleectedCellsCollection.IsSelected / GetHashCodeString.

internal bool IsSelected(GridViewRowInfo row, GridViewColumn column) => row != null && column is GridViewDataColumn && this.hashtable.Contains((object) this.GetHashCodeString(row, column));

When a cell is selected with GridViewCellInfo.IsSelected = true, it checks if it has already been selected. It does so by calling GridViewSleectedCellsCollection.IsSelected. which checks if a HasCodeString is already in a hashtable. But, when another selected cell has the same HasCodeString, the result is (incorrectly) true, which will result in not added it to the collection of selected cells. 

I guess that is can be easily fixed by changing:

 private string GetHashCodeString(GridViewRowInfo row, GridViewColumn column)
    {
      int hashCode = row.GetHashCode();
      string str1 = hashCode.ToString();
      hashCode = column.GetHashCode();
      string str2 = hashCode.ToString();
      return str1 + str2;
    }

to:

 private string GetHashCodeString(GridViewRowInfo row, GridViewColumn column)
    {
      int hashCode = row.GetHashCode();
      string str1 = hashCode.ToString();
      hashCode = column.GetHashCode();
      string str2 = hashCode.ToString();
      return str1 + "_" + str2;
    }

Since hashcodes 1 + 23 will result in the same string as hashcodes 12 + 3.

Making this change will reduce the problem significantly, but not entirely since hashCodes will never be unique.

Apply the Office2010Silver theme to your application since it has a good border indication for the focus in RadSpinEditor. 

Please run the attached project and click in the RadSpinEditor that is not in the RadPopupContainer. You will notice that when you move the mouse away that the border is highlighted in yellow showing that the control has complete focus. Now, click in the RadSpinEditor that is in the RadPopupContainer and move your mouse away. You will notice that the border is not highlighted in yellow indicating that it does not have focus. You can also see that it does not fire the GotFocus event. If you click closer to the border out of the "TextBox" area, the control border will stay yellow showing complete focus and fire off the GotFocus event. However, in this case, the caret is not displayed.

Workaround: manually increase the font of the controls

protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnShown(e);

    var dpi = NativeMethods.GetSystemDpi();

    this.Font = new Font(this.Font.Name, this.Font.Size * dpi.X / 96, this.Font.Style);
    this.radMenu1.Font = new Font(this.radMenu1.Font.Name, this.radMenu1.Font.Size * dpi.X / 96, this.radMenu1.Font.Style);
    this.radCommandBar1.Font = new Font(this.radCommandBar1.Font.Name, this.radCommandBar1.Font.Size * dpi.X / 96, this.radCommandBar1.Font.Style);
}

UI for WinForms - Latest version.

RadRibbonBarBackstageView - Edit UI Elements

RootRadElement.BackstageViewElement.BackstageItemsPanelElement.BackgroundImage

Click the … button and select your image.

To REMOVE this image you SHOULD be able to do the following:

click on the property BackgroundImage which should highlight the image-string completely.

click delete.

done.

What you HAVE to do is this: 

click on the property BackgroundImage.

click delete.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS PROPERTY you have to click the … box

Once the box opens you have to click "Cancel"

Right below this property is BackgroundImageLayout - set to "Center"

There's a dropdown arrow presumably to allow you to change the layout but nothing happens when you click it.

*Missing Property?*

Whatever image you place in this control it gets stretched and there doesn't appear to be any way to avoid this:

place an image.

run the winforms ap.

set the main form in normal mode (not maximized) and resize the height.

Your image will stretch, shrink...this is not a UI property that should be presumed.  We should be able to set None, Tile, Center, Stretch or Zoom.

Still *LOVE* your products :)

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.

Hi

It would be cool if the SyntaxEditor automatically changed the default palette if the selected scheme was dark.

Hi,

Please, add a property  or method to the RadWebCam control to set video bit rate or quality. Currently is fixed a 4 mbits and it results in very poor image quality at high resolutions.

Please find attached images to see the difference  between snapshot and video recording. With fast moving pictures is even worse.

Thanks.

RadVirtualGrid is created to support a million records or more. Still it contains some "heavy" operations like CopySelection/CutSelection/Paste which can take a long time.

I would like to intercept these methods so I can show a "Please wait"-window during the operation. Furthermore I have the need to set a flag to true when such a operation is executing. 

PerformClick method of RadButtonElement is sending next error:

System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.EventArgs' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs'.

Find my code below:

private void btnAddField_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadDiagramShape sourceShape = new RadDiagramShape()
    {
        Text = "source",
        Shape = new RoundRectShape(5),
        BackColor = Color.Red
    };

    sourceShape.Position = new Telerik.Windows.Diagrams.Core.Point(150, 100);
    radDiagram.AddShape(sourceShape);

    sourceShape.IsSelected = true;
    RadButtonElement additionalContent = Telerik.WinControls.UI.Diagrams.Primitives.ItemInformationAdorner.GetAdditionalContent(
                                            this.radDiagram.DiagramElement.ItemInformationAdorner) as RadButtonElement;

    additionalContent.PerformClick();
}

What I want is to display the SettingsPane automatically when adding a RadDiagramShape item in a RadDiagram

Regards

Hi- When I add a Rad context menu to a RadToolbarForm, the toolbar vanishes from the designer after a build.  This is new behavior because I have other context menus that I had previously added to the form.  If I drag a RadContextMenu from the toolkit, or I copy/paste an existing context menu, the toolbar disappears after a build.  I am running the latest release (2024.1.130) and toolkit config (although this also happens when running the previous Telerik release)

I tried closing the designer before the build and the toolbar still disappears.  Doing a Clean before build has no effect.  This form is inherited from a simple RadToolbar form (no controls except the toolbar).  The toolbar is still listed in the list of controls for the form

Ha!  Just found out what's happening.  It's deleting the toolbar configuration code from the designer code.  Everything below is gone.  If I add it back in, then do anything with the new context menu, like rename it, it gets removed again

Here's my dev environment:

I can't provide a project or even code snippets that would make sense out of context because the code base is too complex for an easy replication to be setup.

We are trying various things like calling Refresh, Update.

Hoping this is something you've encountered before and have some suggestions.
