    WPF Shaders continued …

    Last time I asked if you find the pixel shaders useful in WPF applications. There were a couple of answers giving links to online resources, but no one did actually say they use shaders or find any practical application. Most of the examples in the internet target transition effects and I currently can’t think of any other practical application. Why so? Well, transition effects are good way to veil long loading times without using WPF transitions/animations, i.e. without increasing the CPU load (assuming effects are hardware accelerated). Applying effects constantly, on the other hand, will require rendering the scene all...

    RadChart for WPF - What's next?

    The feature list for the Q3 release of RadChart for WPF is already locked down, so we can start planning the releases after that.

    RadControls for WPF SP1 is out!

    Since our first official release in July, we have received lots of feedback from customers about things we need to improve. And we listened! The new release adds several important features that make working with the control easier. Here is the list: Improved selection handling. We now expose a SelectionChanged event and two convenience properties: SelectedItem and CurrentItem. The latter two are especially useful when working with the control entirely in XAML without any code-behind. Cell focus. We have added support for identifying the current cell and to navigate across cells using the Tab/Shift+Tab keys. Improved accessibility support through automation peers for RadGridView. Accessibility...

    WPF: RadChart Layout Customization

    Today we would like to highlight one exciting feature that will find its way into the new RadChart control for WPF -- the control grants you the absolute freedom to compose its layout based on your business requirements and not the other way around. This effectively means that you can add an unlimited number of chart building blocks (chart areas, legends, and titles) so we will demonstrate now how easy the layout customization can be. Basically the control provides three options for layout customization: RadChart comes with a default preset layout (a single chart area, legend, and title) but you have complete...

    Build a slideshow with RadChart and RadRotator for WinForms in minutes

    Last week we got an interesting request from a customer of ours – he wanted to add several RadCharts in the RadRotator control and to implement custom slideshow. The idea was so appealing that I decided to shoot a quick blog about it. We already have similar image slideshows and I must say it is a pretty cool way to give your WinForms app a modern style and appeal: http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/submission/b311D-bdhadm.aspx Even though it is very easy to add RadChart directly to the rotator (by using RadHostItem), RadRotator performs much better with images and/or other windowless RadItems. This is why...
