    Showing "tooltips" for list items in RadComboBox

    There are two ways of doing this: The first approach is to assign directly the text to be displayed to every ComboBoxItem. This is done through the API or through the design time. You must assign the required text to every item’s ToolTipText.     The second approach is to handle the ToolTipTextNeeded event where custom logic can be applied: private voidTestComboBox1_Load(objectsender, EventArgs e) {     ComboPopupForm parent = this.radComboBox1.ComboBoxElement.ListBoxElement.ElementTree.Control asComboPopupForm;     if(parent != null)     {         parent.ToolTipTextNeeded += newTelerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventHandler(radComboBox1_ToolTipTextNeeded);     } } Add...

    Visual Studio Tooltips unplugged: Drag and Drop code artifacts to Toolbox General Tab.

    I bet you never thought about this feature! Me either… It’s good that there is a marvelous blog about all goodies in VS maintained by a nice lady. I will be monitoring and making comments on the topics there that have excited me most. So what is on today’s menu? As you’ve probably figured it out already, I will comment on a fine (but unknown to me) feature of dragging and pasting code artifacts straight to the VS toolbox. At first I was a little bit skeptic, but it really worked out, let me show you how: 1. Mark a code segment...

    Where is RadFormDecorator heading?

    If I had to summarize what the RadFormDecorator control is about in a single sentence, it would be: The RadFormDecorator aims to unload yet another task from the "regular Joe" developer by reducing the need for styling elements on the page.
