    New gaud for the 3-Dimensional WPF RadChart

    Last time I wrote about Labels in 3D, but it turned out to be more of a Step-By-Step How-To. This time the blog will be short and up to the point - our RadChart for WPF has a new shiny primitive, which is ... ta-daaaaa ... a 3-Dimensional Rounded Bar/Box.   Well, we are not the first to introduce such a primitive. It is, of course, easy to create rounded box model in 3D Studio Max, Maya or any other 3D-modeling tool (as other component vendors did for you), but that approach does not allow easy customization - each time you...

    RadControls for WinForms gaining more speed

    …Or how you should manage predefined themes in Q2 2008 As mentioned previously, RadControls for WinForms is the only WinForms suite which provides WPF-like effects on the classic Windows Forms platform. This has its challenges, because the Windows Forms platform was not build with such rich visualization in mind. For example, performance suffers if too many elements are animated on the form; the form/application start up time increases with too many visual elements on the form, etc. It is our job to try and find ways to keep these times at a minimum, but keep the same rich functionality and dazzling...

    WPF: The Static Nature of Dependency Properties

    With dependency properties being so heavily used across the WPF platform, there is a good chance that sooner or later you will get bitten by this issue my colleague Hristo Deshev and I were debugging not long ago. Some heads-up can't really hurt anybody so here it is;). We will declare a simple class Foo with a single collection dependency property (note that this is a reference type).

    Disabling Full Row Selection in Vista Explorer

    One of the things that irritates me the most in Vista is the enabled by default Full Row Selection in Explorer. To see what I'm talking about open an Explorer window in Details View and try to select files with dragging a rectangle. I googled a bit and found that there is a solution for the problem: Under the key:  [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]   Create a new REG_DWORD value named FullRowSelect. Leave it's data as 0x0 and you are set.   After some more digging, I found several scripts which will automatically set and unset this key for you: Keith Miller' Windows Stuff   I hope this helps....
