When you create a site you want it to be accessible as well as beautiful. We strive to give you both and this is why we have taken up a major campaign to improve the accessibility support of Telerik’s  ASP.NET AJAX controls .We, as developers, are quite used to getting things done through the keyboard and we want to give your users the same experience. This time the Dock and TagCloud controls are leveling up. RadDock now has keyboard support Since Q3 2012 RadDock has the ability to execute DockCommands using keyboard shortcuts. To enable this new feature all you need to do is set...

The current situation The major browsers offer the option to zoom the entire page rather than just increase the font size. This is an important accessibility feature, which is often used not only by people with vision impairments, but also by users that, for different reasons, need to see the page smaller or larger. Usually we zoom to increase the font size but, since the browser zooms the entire page, visual glitches could appear when the layout is based on background images and/or sprites. It will not ruin the page accessibility but will leave a feeling that the UI is not structured very well. And we don’t want...

You must have noticed we have been working aggressively on improving the data visualization arsenal of Telerik's ASP.NET AJAX controls over the past year. This is why we thought it was about time we combined the new Gauge, PivotGrid and AutoCompleteBox controls with the enhanced HTML5 Chart into a simple and compact website application. Naturally, with all the hype about this year's Olympic Games the theme for the app was quite obvious. ;) The sample ASP.NET app Olympic Games showcases how easy it is to provide data presentation and management functionality to your users and how you can integrate several major controls with just a few lines of code. Of...

It is not a secret that Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Editor is one of the most loved, top performing and frequently used Telerik controls. That is why one of our main goals is to continuously improve it and satisfy our clients’ requests for new and useful features. We keep that tradition with Q3 2012, by introducing two very powerful features: Format Painter much like the one you've seen in MS Word® The end user can utilize the FormatPainter tool to copy formatting from a piece of text and apply it to others in the content area of RadEditor. The tool is very similar to...

With our previous release (Q2 2012) we introduced RadHtmlChart, but we didn’t stop there – even before the next major release we introduced a lot of the features you asked for. Once again we leveraged the latest HTML5 goodness and RadHtmlChart now has its own younger brother – RadGauge. In fact, it’s a pair of twins – RadRadialGauge and RadLinearGauge to make the family life even more fun. Put simply, you can use the gauge to show very specific data with relation to a given range. You could mimic a car dashboard and show the fuel left and have the last quarter...
