Put Some Magic into Your Applications by Using RadWizard for WinForms

As the next release of the Telerik Winforms controls is coming close, we would like to uncover some details regarding a new control to be released – RadWizard.

RadWizard supports both Wizard97 and Wizard Aero specifications. The control provides the developers with predesigned Welcome, Completion and Internal pages. Here is an example of the default look of a Welcome page: The design time capabilities of the RadWizard control...

GroupBox and Label Controls and Tooltip Themes in 2011.Q1 RadControls for Silverlight and RadControls for WPF

These are controls that exist in one form or another in most of the other suites so we had some client requests to add them in our Silverlight / WPF suite too. In WPF you have GroupBox, Label and ToolTip in the presentation framework however we had no themes for them. In Silverlight there is only ToolTip. GroupBox and Label We have created GroupBox and Label in Telerik.Windows.Controls assembly. In WPF they extend the existing GroupBox and Label controls and only add themes. In Silverlight they extend HeaderedContentControl and ContentControl. How you can use them: <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="#FF222222"> <telerik:GroupBox Header="Personal Information" Width="300" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"> <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="80" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />...

Virtualized TileView for Silverlight and WPF, different sizes, automatic scrolling and much more.

With the Q1 2011 release just being around the corner a new and amazing version of RadTileView will be available. It is sleek, fast and more responsive than ever and it brings a whole set of new features and functionality to the table. Download and play with the new bits . Virtualization The main feature, that I’m sure you’d like most is the UI Virtualization (delaying the creation of UI Elements). We implemented it in both tiling scenarios: Restored – this includes both directions - Horizontal and Vertical . It means that if you have 10 columns x 1000 rows you'll get 10 000 tiles and you’ll see both scrollbars....

Highlighting Adjacent Points with RadChart for WPF

There are times when we run into a scenario in which we need point selection on a chart. Luckily, RadChart for WPF and Silverlight already has this feature - but what if you need to find the closest point to where you selected on a chart? And what if you have multiple chart series that you are doing this with? Normally, this would be a bit of a challenge as this involves figuring out where the user clicked, what is around it, etc. Luckily for us, we have charting wizards like Manol Donev on our team and an aggressive release cycle here at Telerik. The...
