• Drop down and Split Buttons

  The Telerik DropDownButton and the Telerik SplitButton are buttons that provide menu-like interface model within a button. They can be very handy for creating more simplistic UI where extensive menus and/or comboboxes are not needed. Themes and interface customizations are supported, as with all Telerik buttons.

• Check Box

  The Telerik CheckBox replaces the Windows Forms CheckBox control and adds robust data binding, 3-state management (checked, unchecked, undetermined), and extended design options (image and multi-line text support, animations, shapes, etc). Several themes are provided out of the box.

• Radio Button

  The Telerik RadioButton replaces the Windows Forms RadioButton control and adds robust data binding, state management, and endless design options, including custom radio shapes, image scaling, theming, etc.

• Toggle Button

  The Telerik ToggleButton is a button that mimics the functionality of the check box, but allows more flexibility in its design. It offers state management similar to that of the RadCheckBox with the addition of a special ToggleStateChanging event which provides extra control over its state.

• Repeat Button

  The Telerik Windows Forms RepeatButton offers press-and-hold functionality built directly into the ButtonClick event, giving you interactive UI design with minimal effort.

• Granular Customization of all Elements

  Telerik Controls for WinForms provide designers with the ability to alter, at design time or run time, any property of any control. Because all Telerik controls are composed of primitives, this customization can be applied at a very fine level of detail. Changes in response to events can be animated, so that a property moves smoothly through a range of values in response to a mouse movement or other event. Property values (such as colors or fonts) can be inherited from parent elements to child elements, or override them at the child element level.

• Extensive VS.NET Design-time Support

  Telerik Buttons provide rich design-time support functionality making customizations and configurations very easy. Some of the key capabilities are:

  • Managing shortcuts and images;
  • Applying themes in design time and easily switching between them - the Choose Theme command in the Smart tag automatically detects the present themes;
  • Visual Style Builder, Element Hierarchy Editor, and Shape Editor productivity tools for full control over the UI.

• Appearance

  The button controls are shipped with rich set of themes that allow you to easily build slick interfaces with the look-and-feel of Windows Vista, Office 2007, Outlook, etc. The themes can be easily switched using a single property.

  In addition to the built-in themes, all RadControls for WinForms come with a feature we call Theme Color Blending, which allows for tweaking the color scheme of a theme, without the need to redo the theme from scratch. The updated color scheme is applied to all Telerik WinForms controls that you are using in your application for a fresh new look. Or you can build a new theme from scratch to fit your exact visual demands by using the Visual Style Builder productivity tool.

  Telerik Buttons are also capable of displaying rich text formatting by using standard HTML tags, such as <i>, <b>, and <u>. This is supported on a framework level.

• Localization and Right-to-Left Language Support
