Command Bar Strip out of bounds on maximize of form

We have a commandbar docked to the right of our form, underneath another user control which is docked to the top.

The commandbar is one row with two strips in it, and the first strip (the one which is getting out of bounds) has two buttons on it. (see attached images).

It works fine but when you maximize the form, the first strip appears to lose it's first button.

Inspecting the element properties of the strip shows that for some reason, the ControlBoundingRectangle/BoundingRectangle has it's Y axis set to -42.

Is there any way to reset the ControlBoundingRectangle to back to it's original value or any other method to stop it from going out of bounds?

We're using version 2020.1.113.40

Thanks,

RadDropDownMenu object in RadMenuItem

Hi,

In a RadMenuItem, it seems that the RadDropDownMenu graphical object containing children is automatically created when the MyMenuItem.Items property is accessed.
Often, the Items property is accessed without adding any children, for example to access MyMenuItem.Items.Count property.
RadDropDownMenu object is therefore useless and affects the size of a RadMenuItem in memory.
I'm considering overriding the Items property or the EnsureDropDownCreated method of the RadMenuItemBase class to work around this issue.
Is there a method that you recommend or do not recommend?

We are using 2022.3.921 version.

Thanks for your feedback.

RadCommandBar on touch device

Hello,

I have an MDI parent form with a radcommandbar across the top.

The commandbar contains 2 commandstripelements which have several buttons

One is left justified and one is right justified

Everything is working fine except when I deploy it to a touch enabled / touchscreen client. Some users are accidentally dragging the commandstripelements into one another and even dragging them off the command bar making them disappear entirely.

Is there a way to disable dragging or reordering of the commandstrips. Ideally I don't want any of the items to move at all

I have already tried

For each commandstripelemnt I set

            commandBarStripElement1.AllowDrag = false;
            commandBarStripElement1.AllowDrop = false;
            commandBarStripElement1.EnableDragging = false;
            commandBarStripElement1.EnableFloating = false;

For each button in either strip element I set

buttonX.AllowDrag = false;

I even tried returning e.Canceled in BeginDrag

Nothing seems to be working

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Kevin

Unable to add Items to RadCommandBar

I am testing Telerik controls for a project under VS2022 and WinForms .NET Core 6.

There does not seem to be a way to add items to the bar, or am I missing something? Shouldn't there be a button to add Items as in the sample documentation videos/screenshot?

this is what I was expecting looking up Telerik documentation:

RadMenu and child item Font properties

I have a RadMenu in a new application where I set the Font property to "Segoe UI 9pt". While all the top-level menu items appear as expected, the drop-downs revert back to "Segoe UI 8.25pt". Aren't the Font properties ambient? I really don't want to have to explicitly set all the RadMenuItem.Font properties.

What am I missing?

As a related follow-up, I would have expected the RadMenu, RadCommandBar, and RadStatusStrip's Font properties to be ambient also, and default to the Form's Font.

This is day two of my evaluation of the library.

CommandBar designer code automatically changing

Hi there,

Using control version 2021.2.615

VS2019 16.10.3

I have some code using a CommandBar and CommandBarStrips as below:

            // 
            // CommandBar
            // 
            this.CommandBar.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Top;
            this.CommandBar.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 25);
            this.CommandBar.Name = "CommandBar";
            this.CommandBar.Rows.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarRowElement[] {
            this.CommandBarRow});
            this.CommandBar.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1241, 31);
            this.CommandBar.TabIndex = 4;
            this.CommandBar.ThemeName = "FluentDark";
            // 
            // CommandBarRow
            // 
            this.CommandBarRow.MinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(25, 25);
            this.CommandBarRow.Name = "CommandBarRow";
            this.CommandBarRow.Strips.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarStripElement[] {
            this.CommandBarToolStrip,
            this.CommandBarModelStrip});
            // 
            // CommandBarToolStrip
            // 
            this.CommandBarToolStrip.Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.TopCenter;
            this.CommandBarToolStrip.AutoSize = true;
            this.CommandBarToolStrip.DisplayName = "commandBarStripElement1";
            this.CommandBarToolStrip.EnableDragging = false;
            this.CommandBarToolStrip.Name = "CommandBarToolStrip";
            // 
            // 
            // 
            this.CommandBarToolStrip.OverflowButton.Enabled = false;

            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBarToolStrip.GetChildAt(2))).Enabled = false;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBarToolStrip.GetChildAt(2))).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            // 
            // CommandBarModelStrip
            // 
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.TopRight;
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.AutoSize = true;
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.DisplayName = "commandBarStripElement1";
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.Items.AddRange(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarBaseItem[] {
            this.lblCurrModel,
            this.CurrentModelList});
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.Name = "CommandBarModelStrip";
            // 
            // 
            // 
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.OverflowButton.Enabled = false;
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.OverflowButton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            this.CommandBarModelStrip.Text = "";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBarModelStrip.GetChildAt(2))).Enabled = false;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBarModelStrip.GetChildAt(2))).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            // 
            // lblCurrModel
            // 
            this.lblCurrModel.Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
            this.lblCurrModel.DisplayName = "commandBarLabel1";
            this.lblCurrModel.Name = "lblCurrModel";
            this.lblCurrModel.Text = "Current Model : ";
            // 
            // CurrentModelList
            // 
            this.CurrentModelList.AutoEllipsis = true;
            this.CurrentModelList.AutoSize = false;
            this.CurrentModelList.Bounds = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 24);
            this.CurrentModelList.DisplayName = "commandBarDropDownList1";
            this.CurrentModelList.DropDownAnimationEnabled = true;
            this.CurrentModelList.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;
            this.CurrentModelList.MaxDropDownItems = 0;
            this.CurrentModelList.Name = "CurrentModelList";
            this.CurrentModelList.Text = "";
            this.CurrentModelList.SelectedIndexChanged += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventHandler(this.CurrentModelList_SelectedIndexChanged);

The above code compiles and runs with no issue.

If I open the designer for this form, then the above code is automatically replaced by the code below:

            // 
            // CommandBar
            // 
            this.CommandBar.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Top;
            this.CommandBar.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 25);
            this.CommandBar.Name = "CommandBar";
            this.CommandBar.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1241, 31);
            this.CommandBar.TabIndex = 4;
            this.CommandBar.ThemeName = "FluentDark";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarRowElement)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0))).Name = "CommandBarRow";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarRowElement)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0))).MinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(25, 25);
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarStripElement)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0))).Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.TopCenter;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarStripElement)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0))).Name = "CommandBarToolStrip";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(2))).Enabled = false;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(2))).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarStripElement)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1))).Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.TopRight;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarStripElement)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1))).Name = "CommandBarModelStrip";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarLabel)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(0))).Text = "Current Model : ";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarLabel)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(0))).Alignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarLabel)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(0))).Name = "lblCurrModel";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarDropDownList)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1))).AutoSize = false;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.CommandBarDropDownList)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(1))).Name = "CurrentModelList";
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(2))).Enabled = false;
            ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadCommandBarOverflowButton)(CommandBar.GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(0).GetChildAt(1).GetChildAt(2))).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
            //

This code compiles but on running the first line containing all the .GetChildAt calls throws IndexOutOfRange.

Sometimes it deletes the code completely, leaving just this:

            // 
            // CommandBar
            // 
            this.CommandBar.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Top;
            this.CommandBar.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 25);
            this.CommandBar.Name = "CommandBar";
            this.CommandBar.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1241, 30);
            this.CommandBar.TabIndex = 4;
            this.CommandBar.ThemeName = "FluentDark";

Any idea what's happening here?

Many thanks,

John.

Can you sort a commandbardropdownlist?

I've looked but I can't find any way to select a sort on the object? On a radDropDownList there is a "SortStyle" property. This is what I am looking for, but on a CommandBarDropdownList. I can of course sort the data beforehand, but I assumed there would be a SortStyle on it and if so, would rather use the existing functionality if it exists.
