Desktop: WinForms

One of the new goodies that came with RadGridView Q2 2010 is the brand new drag and drop API, which offers a very flexible way to create custom drag and drop scenarios with ease. Each instance of RadGridView is associated with RadGridViewDragDropService that handles user drag and drop operations. It gives you out-of-the-box reordering of columns and movement of items between the group panel and the columns header. The service is also responsible for rows reordering in unbound mode when grouping and sorting features are not applied. In many cases, developers need to implement complex custom scenarios that are not covered by our products by default....

The RadControls for WinForms Q2 2010 beta release has been live for a couple of weeks now, and we have been getting excellent feedback on the fancy new features. Along with several brand new components (RadListControl, RadPageView and RadDesktopAlert to name a few), we have introduced a completely redesigned grid, along with numerous new features and possibilities. Up until now we have supported Export to Excel capabilities in RadGridView, and not much more. Although ExportToExcelML offers some cool and unique features, exporting only to Excel was not enough for our clients. Our integration with Telerik Reporting could not suit all of our client's requirements either. Now,...

The Q2 2010 release introduces a brand new RadReminder component. Its purpose is to enable users to track different objects and their events. The architecture is pretty simple and intuitive and allows any IRemindObject implementation to be monitored by a RadReminder instance. The component comes with a built-in dialog that displays all the currently tracked objects in a grid and enables you to visually snooze or dismiss an item. The dialog is completely customizable and localizable and gives you the ability to modify each object’s display text and icon. Built-in reminder dialog Dialog’s display routine raises several events, allowing you to cancel...

The brand new RadPageView control is aiming high to provide a full replacement for the currently existing RadTabStrip and RadPanelBar controls by shipping the same functionality with a simpler approach and improved performance. This new control addresses many issues present in the old components, and is based on a very flexible and extensible platform that is fully compatible with the Telerik Presentation Framework, and allows for implementing different layout scenarios as quick as never before. The architecture of this control is pretty simple. It consists of pages and items where each item is associated with a page and it can be used to display...

We are happy to announce that for Q2 2010 we will be introducing a few new controls . Two of those are actually implementations of quite old controls. I am talking about RadListControl (the new list box) and RadDropDownList (the new combo box). The main purpose in the lives of those two guys is to replace the current RadListBox and RadComboBox and to address their current shortcomings without breaking any existing applications. The new controls will coexist with the old ones and they will be faster… a lot faster, and more flexible in terms of extending and/or replacing functionality as...
