Enhancing Your WinForms UI with HTML-like Formatting
Until recently our Windows Forms offering didn’t have support for HTML-like rich text formatting, so typical for web applications. With the Q3 release shipped on November 5 this has changed. This release of RadControls for WinForms has the HTML-like formatting capabilities on a framework level. What does it mean? Well, as of now every VisualElement descendent is capable of rich text formatting - Labels, Buttons, RadCalendar, RadGridView, etc. The implementation is very simple, especially if your users are familiar with HTML. To turn on the rich formatting behavior you must begin your text with an <html> tag; use <size=[+|-]value> to set...November 10, 2008 -

Storing User Docking preferences
Many times in an application you want your user to have the ability to set preferences. This extends to a variety of settings, but what about the interface itself? If you are using the DockingManager you can give the user the ability to modify the layout of existing DockPanels and store it for them. Why would you want to let the user change the layout? Every person is different and most people enjoy having the option of customizing an application. This can be as simple as having a tool window on the right of the screen instead of the...October 10, 2008 -
