    Windows Phone 7 MVVM #8 - RadCalendar

    Hey folks, it’s been a little while since we discussed the MVVM pattern with the RadControls for Windows Phone, so I’m back to talk about one of the new controls we have available with the Q2 2011 release – RadCalendar.  RadCalendar is the Telerik answer to the native OS calendar in Windows Phone, offering similar functionality as far as how appointments are displayed and how you can navigate through months.  We also have a rich event structure in place to ensure you can do anything you want when selecting a timeslot – including a demo that gives some example code...

    RadChart for WP7 - Tooltip

    One of the new features of the chart control for the Q2 Beta2 release is an API for behaviors. We decided do decouple the chart from some of its features and make them separate objects for the usual software development reasons. Now RadChart has a Behaviors collection that accepts ChartBehavior objects. Whenever an object is added to or removed from this collection a feature is either enabled or disabled in a RadChart instance respectively. We provide three behaviors out of the box and these are ChartPanAndZoomBehavior, ChartTrackballBehavior and ChartToolTipBehavior. The tooltip behavior allows the chart to show a tooltip wherever the user taps...

    Metro Theme Customization Made Easy

    Simplicity is one of the corner stones for the visual appeal of all Metro UIs. Simplicity allows the theme to be largely consistent and make development of the UI of any program a breeze. But there is a risk. The risk of many applications looking alike. Are we facing a homogenization of the next version of UIs? Will my TODO app look like  your Twitter client or another’s cloud photo service? I have no clue. What I do know is that we did not want you stuck with a white and blue theme. We want to give you a chance to...

    RadChart for Windows Phone 7 – fun with gestures

    As Q2 2011 is officially out, we are really excited about all the interactivity features we shipped with our charting component. Together with all the built-in goodies like PanAndZoom, Trackball and Tooltip, we have also implemented a flexible and convenient way for extending the default gesture handling behavior of RadChart. By implementing a handler for the RadChart.PreviewGesture event you may provide completely custom interactivity depending on your custom scenario. When marked as “Handled” the event will have higher priority than any default behaviors registered with the Chart. Simple drill-down functionality Let’s play a bit more with the PreviewGesture event by implementing a...
