    The Excellence of RadMaskedEditBox

    A lot of time passed since my last post , and lot of things have changed and were added to our unique RadControls for WinForms offer. Today, I'd like to direct the spotlight at RadMaskedEditBox for WinForms, which offers some pretty impressive functionality you will find useful in your applications. While using a text box control for text input and editing is quite familiar, such a component has simplified user interface and poor feature set. However because of the popularity we  implemented the RadTextBox component. When we finished this control, there were voices from the community that said: “Hey we want a text box...

    How to select RadComboBox item with WatiN

    Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Elena Tosheva and I’m a QA officer here at Telerik. I have been working here since the end of 2004 year, but it is the first time I’m blogging. I’m responsible for testing ASP.NET team 3 controls (RadComboBox, RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadTreeView, RadMenu, RadToolBar and RadScheduler).   As you may already know , we use Selenium for integration testing together with the NUnit and JsUnit tests.

Truth to be told, we have a secret feature in RadTreeView for WinForms as well. It may be not as cool as the “Easter eggs” Excel game, but is something I wanted to share with you for some time now. I like this one, because it is our small secret weapon in the war for dominating the world of software features. RadTreeView has...

    WPF Series: Creating Generic Adorner

    As I have mentioned at the end of the previous post today I will show you how to create a generic adorner, which will allow you to decorate a single element  multiple times at different positions. At the end we will be able to create something that looks like this: To achieve this we will need a way to say that we want to position the adorner at the different corners of the element as well as to specify whether we want to be inside or outside (vertically or horizontally) of the element. Let's create some enumeration types that will serve for...

    Breaking changes in RadGridView for WinForms Q1 2008

    We at Telerik know that you, our clients, do not like breaking changes. With each release we get complaints that something has changed, even when it as small as a change in the name of a single property. We understand why you find them dreadful. More often than not software vendors do not speak of them openly and try to hide them at all costs. Often such changes are not well documented. As a result, a lot of time is spent on getting all issues resolved after the upgrade. We know that you are terrified from this process and prefer...
