    Smooth scrolling in RadGridView for WinForms

    Up until Q3 2009, RadGridView for WinForms used a scrollbar in every child view when in hierarchy mode. This however can be a problem when there are many nested levels, i.e. it can lead to a situation where you do not have enough visual estate to scroll through the hierarchy:     In our latest release RadGridView is using only one scrollbar that scrolls the root level and all the child views, with no performance loss whatsoever, because we have optimized the scrolling mechanism to be better performing and smoother:     Since there are cases where using nested scrollbars is the better option, we still offer the...

    Formatting Text in RadControls for WinForms Q3 2009

    I am happy to announce a few new features coming in Q3 2009, related to text formatting. As you know, a couple of releases ago we added a feature called Html-like text formatting to our controls:     Although we supported a very limited and basic set of HTML tags, our clients were happy with having the option to format text via HTML. We received a great deal of feedback on this feature, including many requests to support more HTML tags. Q3 2009 (the beta is coming out this week), comes with support for new tags in our parsing and rendering engine. The...

    Menu Merge (RadControls for WinForms)

    The long established traditions of the MDI interface makes menu merge indispensable for any WinForms Controls library. The MDI user interface is well known across the users and perhaps the most famous application that employed it for more than a decade is Microsoft Office (up to version 2003). Even though the new Ribbon Bar look snazzier to me, I am sure that the folks that are using Menus in MDI forms will appreciate this new feature.   Our MDI implementation covers two things – RadForm and RadMenu. Both are really independent and for this reason you can mix RadForms and standard forms as well...
