      Q2 2011 was the first official release of RadChart for Windows Phone – first class charting solution offering unbeatable performance and feature richness. Having the chart officially out however does not mean that we will put less effort in enriching it with new functionality. On the contrary – we have plans to push hard in order to make RadChart the richest charting component on the market. Today we are releasing an update to our RadControls for Windows Phone, which targets the new Mango update from Microsoft, and we are happy to announce the new RadPolarChart and the three polar series – Point, Line...

    Introducing RadMessageBox for WP7

    We are happy to announce an intermediate release with which we officially declare that RadControls for Windows Phone now support Mango. This release includes a few improvements to the control suite, the most important of which is of course our updated list box that still performs better than the default, framework list box.  Aside from improved existing controls we also decided to include a message box that can be customized and restyled as required and that is extremely easy to use. It is also localized. To get a taste of what it is like to use RadMessageBox consider the following example. It demonstrates the...

    Q2 2011 What's New for Windows Phone Wrap-up

    Hey Windows Phone lovers, it has been a busy two weeks since we had release webinar week.  We've seen the release of Visual Studio LightSwitch and the Telerik Hands-On-Labs that I wrote for that release, we've been prepping some really neat content that will start making some waves soon (check back tomorrow!), and of course we have been hard at work on creating learning resources to cover everything that was release during this latest round.  So of course part of that is packaging up the demos and slides from the Q2 presentations as well as covering some of the great...

    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...
