  Hi,

  I know I being sort of asking lot of question to telerik team. But its just due to I installed the trial version and I am too impressed that I wanted to every thing before I purchase so that during our development we don’t stuck at nay point.

   

  My question is that I am trying to implement the functionality of scaling (Bubble bar, Magnifier etc) but I couldn’t. Please do tell me how I can get these components in my toolbar.
  
  Regards.
  Haroon.

  Hello Haroon,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  The BubbleBar and Magnifier are not controls per se, but rather integration examples, built using the Telerik Presentation Framework. Still, you can recreate them in your own application, and intialize them to use your own data.
  
  In the examples application, when you navigate to the pages of these integration examples (BubbleBar and Magnifier), you can view the source code of these examples using the View Code button in the upper-right corner of the panel, to the right of the description of the sample. You can then insert this code into your application, compile it, and use it in your own forms.
  
  If you have any additional questions, please contact us again. We are always glad to receive your feedback and answer your questions.

  Hi Haroon,
  
  We are sending you a custom library which encapsulates the two controls you requested - Magnifier and BubbleBar. They will not appear in your toolbox, and you will not be able to view them in design time.
  
  Still, they are ready to be used in your projects - just add a reference to the Telerik.CustomControls project, and the two controls will be available.
  
  The solution contains two projects:
  

  • Telerik.CustomControls - contains the two controls
  • TestCustomControls - a test project which demonstrates their use.

  Contact us again if you have any additional questions or requests.

  Hello, i too was in the same boat, although since downloading this zip folder and opening the solutions have been unable to get out onto land. Could you please advice me on how to get from the two solutions open in two instances of visual studio to a form running the control. Thanks.

  Hello michael,
  
  In order to use the two custom controls and take advantage of the functionality they have to offer, you have to do the following:
  
  

  1. Include the Telerik.CustomControls project in your solution
  2. Add a reference to the Telerik.CustomControls project in the project where you'd like to use the controls

  At this time, the controls will not appear in the toolbox, and you will not be able to view them at design-time. Still, you will be able to reference, initialize and use them in your project. You can use the other project as guidance to implement this approach.
  
  If you have further questions, please contact me.
  
  Sincerely yours,
  Kiril

  In the sample application, I'm getting a null reference exception on in the Form1() constructor on the first line of the sample code: 
  
  this.magnifier1.RootElement.Children[0].Children[0].ShouldPaint = false;
  

  FYI - I'm using C# express (2008) and it ran the conversion. I also needed to re-reference the telerik DLLs and project. Once I did that, it compiled but errored during execution.

  Hello Richard,
  
  I tried converting the application using the Visual Studio 2008 C# Express conversion. Then I set the appropriate references, but there was no exception during run-time. Please open a new support ticket and send me the converted application accompanied by the steps which you followed to convert it. This will allow me to address any potential issue further and to give you more accurate help.
  
  If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

  Hello Haroon,
  
  I have just updated the Telerik Custom Controls code library article. The class library project is now working with the latest version of our controls - Q2 2008 SP1. Solutions are provided in both C# and VB.NET.

  I've downloaded the demo code, but when I load it into visual studio for VB express, I get the following error when trying to build:

  
  

  Error 1 Class 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadBubbleBarMouseOverBehavior' must declare a 'Sub New' because its base class 'Telerik.WinControls.PropertyChangeBehavior' does not have an accessible 'Sub New' that can be called with no arguments. C:\home\julian\downloads\.net Controls\072213_Telerik_Custom_Controls_VB\Telerik Custom Controls\Telerik.CustomControls\RadBubbleBarMouseOverBehavior.vb 12 18 Telerik.CustomControls

  Hello Julian,
  
  I was not able to reproduce the issue concerning the VB project, neither using regular Visual Studio 2005/2008, nor using Visual Studio 2008 Express. Actually, the project should behave correctly whatever version of Visual Studio you are using.
  
  Still, you are experiencing the issue. Please provide me with some additional information which will allow me to further investigate this specific case:
  

  1. Visual Studio versions installed.
  2. Visual Studio version where you got the error message.

  In addition, please make sure that you are using the latest builds of this Code Library project and our RadControls for WinForms (Q2 2008 SP1).

  Best wishes,

  The business card custom demo is part of the demo application that comes with each RadControls installation.

  Hi,

  Hi Dave,
  
  Please refer to this forum thread, where we have recently posted an example project: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/winforms/rotator/rotator-menu.aspx.
  
  Alternatively, you can take a look at the Integration > BubbleBar example in our Demo application.
  
  Please note, that this control is created with demo purpose and it is not part of our suite. This is the reason it does not have dedicated documentation.
  
  I hope this helps.
