CAB Support
Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms in a nutshell
The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms provides seamless integration of RadControls for WinForms with the Composite UI Application Block (CAB) and its underlying infrastructure. The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit includes a set of Workspaces, UIElementAdapters, CommandAdapters, and CAB Application Classes for selected Telerik WinForms controls to help developers use common practices and patterns when building visually appealing and productive enterprise applications.
The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit will help you develop smart-client line-of-business (LOB) applications such as OLTP (online transaction processing) front ends for data entry applications, rich client portals to back-end services like government or bank teller applications, and even UI-intensive stand-alone applications such as those used by call center staff, IT support desks or stock traders.

Sample application with RadControls for WinForms and CAB
The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms comes with a sample app modeled after the famous WPF WoodGrove Finance Application. It uses the CAB framework and all supported Telerik controls, skinned with the controls’ Desert theme:
The Telerik Commitment to supporting CAB
Being one of the first vendors to provide support for the CAB and the SCSF, Telerik is strongly committed to provide seamless and easy integration with the CAB infrastructure. To make the integration more robust and trouble-free, Telerik developed the CAB Enabling Kit for Windows Forms and released it as an open source project, hosted on CodePlex. This ensures that new adapters are added constantly by the community, and that the project is extended regularly. The project is fully supported by Telerik and is updated with each new Telerik release (at least 3 times per year) to guarantee that the latest Telerik versions are supported. All change sets and updates submitted on CodePlex are considered for inclusion when updating the main project.
