• Progress Bar

  Telerik ProgressBar for Windows Forms is a themeable progress bar control designed to display progress information during a long-running operation. In addition to using the Telerik Presentation Framework for theming, it offers several advantages over the standard Windows Forms ProgressBar control:
  

  • Support for displaying text and images within the body of the progress bar;
  • Dashed and cross-hatched indicator styles;
  • Support for displaying two values on a single progress bar. The second value is indicated by a change in shade in the unfilled portion of the Telerik Windows Forms ProgressBar.

• Scroll Elements

  The Telerik RadHScrollBar and RadVScrollBar controls are themeable alternatives to the standard Windows Forms scroll bar elements. They allow you to include horizontal and vertical scroll bars in your applications that are consistent in look and feel with the other Telerik RadControls.
  
  RadVScrollViewer is a scrolling element, which gives you full control over a predefined content area. It can be used whenever scrolling of an element is necessary. RadVScrollViewer supports Physical and Logical scrolling modes:
  

  • In Physical mode the scrolling is done in preset intervals (for example 16 pixels per click);
  • In Logical mode you can customize the size of the increment. The logical scrolling makes more sense for elements like list boxes where the vertical scrolling depends on the heights of the child items.

• Track Bar

  Telerik Windows Forms TrackBar is a special slider control that allows the user to select a value on a bar by moving a slider. It can be oriented horizontally, vertically, or at an arbitrary angle, and supports themes.

• Waiting Bar

  The Telerik Windows Forms WaitingBar control is designed to let the user know that a long-running operation is underway. Unlike RadProgressBar, the Telerik Windows Forms WaitingBar control does not display an indication of completed percentage. Instead, it continuously animates a block across a progress area as long as the operation continues.

• Extensive VS.NET Design-time Support

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

  • Drag and drop of items within parent control or between controls;
  • 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 controls are shipped with a 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. Or you can build one from scratch to fit your exact visual demands by using the Visual Style Builder productivity tool.

  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.
