    Making a RadGauge look like a Dial

    I have had several people ask me about whether Telerik offers a dial control.  I thought it might be interesting to try and leverage the RadGauge control to build something that looks like a dial.  Essentially the RadGauge offers all the capabilities you would need, it is just a matter of styling.  I decided to build a kitchen timer application so I could create a dial theme.  I am no artist, but I think my end result turned out pretty well.  The video below will demonstrate how I use Expression Blend to quickly get a 3D (ok, 3Dish, again I...

Thus if you are using multiple grids, you will be able to use the same settings over and over again. Pretty neat and time saving, isn’t it? The new functionality will be available in the lower left corner of...

    RadSchedulerNavigator for RadScheduler

    The Q1 2009 release of the RadControls for WinForms suite introduced pretty neat features in the RadScheduler control which were thoroughly described in this blog-post that came out a couple of days after we uploaded the new version. However, while designing the examples for the RadScheduler control (which you can find in our Demos Application) an idea for a brand new control came out - the RadSchedulerNavigator :     Designed as a separate component, the RadSchedulerNavigator can be easily bound to a RadScheduler instance both in the Visual Studio Designer and in runtime. The control serves as a convenient UI for navigating between...

    Choosing between RadControls for WinForms and the standard Windows Forms controls

    Ever wondered how RadControls for WinForms differ from the standard Windows forms controls? Or needed a particular feature that is supported in the standard controls, but were unsure whether Telerik has it? Regardless of whether you are just starting with RadControls for WinForms, or have a large project in the works, we have a reference white paper for you to look into. We spent some time on creating a detailed comparison between the RadControls features and the capabilities of the standard Windows Forms tools, available in the Visual Studio toolbox, so that you do not have to! This means that choosing between...
