One of the major goals for our AJAX RadEditor control is to provide an accessible content creation experience. For us, this task is divided into two major categories - having an accessible editor UI and helping the end user produce accessible content. With the Q3 2010 release, we made improvements to both and I want to share the results with you.  The first major improvement is the new AccessibleRadEditor control. It is a stripped down version of the full featured RadEditor and has a simpler toolbar to allow easy navigation using only the keyboard. All tools have assigned shortcuts and even the...

It’s hard to believe its mid-November, a time to start to pack away summer cloths, get ready for winter, and take a look at the next release of Telerik TeamPulse!!

As most of you already know (at least those that have been using Mobile Safari lately), scrolling containers support in Mobile Safari is kind of limited. They are rendered with overflow: hidden and with no scrollbars and can only be scrolled with a two finger swipe gesture. Since several of our controls happen to use such scrollbars for scrolling, we set out to create a small extender that can take care of this issue more or less gracefully. Meet the TouchScrollExtender The TouchScrollExtender is a small self-sustained client-only control that depends only on core.js and the built-in jQuery in RadControls for ASP.NET...

With Q3 2010 we introduced some cool UI additions to RadRichTextBox, including SelectionMiniToolBar and ContextMenu. SelectionMiniToolBar SelectionMiniToolBar is a floating toolbar that appears next to the current position after making a selection with the mouse in the document. It contains some useful commands for formatting text: As RadRichTextBox loads the default SelectionMiniToolBar using MEF, it can be completely replaced with a custom one. This can be done as easy as with the other RadRichTextBox dialogs by implementing the ISelectionMiniToolBar interface and marking the class that implements it with the CustomSelectionMiniToolBarAttribute attribute. The technique was also described in greater details in this blog...
