    WPF RadDocking Overview

    It’s been a while since the Q3 2009 release. Lots of controls have been added in our toolbox for WPF. One of them is considered as a final official release of RadDocking control for WPF. We have made a lot of improvements since the last release of the controls. For example each of the six themes included in the bundle now has different type of appearance when applied to a control. RadDocking is a fully customizable and skinnable control that enhances the power of a layout system. It is providing you with a docking system like the one in Microsoft Visual Studio. You are getting the dockable ToolWindows, a hidden DockingManager control, and a designer to easily create attractive layouts. It is good to mention that the WPF RadDocking code is absolutely compatible with its Silverlight counterpart.

    Adding additional power to RadGridView for Silverlight with attached behaviors

    Pre-filtering RadGridView for Silverlight

    In the last couple of weeks we have received several requests for a new feature. Imagine that you want to display RadGridView already filtered by a certain criteria. You could always do this in the past by writing something like this: 1: <telerik:RadGridView Name="playersGrid"> 2: <telerik:RadGridView.FilterDescriptors> 3: <telerikData:FilterDescriptor Member="Country" Operator="IsEqualTo" Value="England"/> 4: </telerik:RadGridView.FilterDescriptors> 5: </telerik:RadGridView>   Now, that is perfectly legal and the grid will come up filtered. The filtering UI however, will not be aware of this. Expressed in other words, this feature might sound like this: “I would like to programmatically achieve the same effect that is achieved by filtering the grid with the...
