    WPF / Silverlight: RadChart PointMark Customization

    RadChart supported point mark visual indicators for chart series like Line, Area, Spline, etc. from version one, however, customization of these indicators was hard and certainly not for the faint-hearted. With the latest version of the control released this week (Q1 2009 SP1) we introduced two major improvements that significantly simplify the interaction with the point mark indicators.   Option 1: Customizing the appearance of the point marks through the PointMark API and predefined point mark shapes RadChart supports 8 predefined shapes that you can use for the point marks (members of the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.MarkerShape enumeration): Circle (default) Diamond Hexagon Triangle Square SquareRounded StarFiveRay StarEightRay   Here is a sample code snippet that demonstrates...

    Change the Office Black theme to support multiple Linear Scales using Expression Blend

    I recently posted an entry regarding the Radial Gauge for WPF where I demonstrated how you can create a half circle gauge.  Not long after that post, I received a question asking about Linear Gauges and how to use multiple scales in a single Linear Gauge.  It is not that there is a functional difference, but rather a visual difference.  The Office Black theme (shown below) has a border area in the middle where the linear gauges were overlapping causing a visual collision.  There are a number of ways that you can accomplish a task and I think one of...

    Installing and Using the RadRibbonForm template

    If you are planning to use the RadRibbonBar and want to get started quickly, then you might consider using the RadRibbonForm template in VIsual Studio.  While you can use a standard form the RadRibbonForm allows you to use the RadRibbonBar and have it extend into the Title bar, just like Microsoft Office.  You will first need to install the template so it is available to you in Visual Studio.  To get started, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Telerik\RadControls for WinForms [version]\Templates.  If you are using CSharp open the CSharp directory, there are Visual Basic versions as well, in appropriately named folders,...

    Creating a Half circle WPF RadGauge

    During a recent webinar, a question was asked about whether you can create a half circle gauge.  I recently covered this in my “Introducing RadGauge for WPF” webinar, but thought it would be good to have a quick blog post as well.  Below you will see a RadialGauge which contains two RadialScales placed along the left and right of the gauge.  This is actually very easy to produce since the RadialGauge is simply a container, you can place a number of scales inside of the gauge.      Here is the XAML for the screenshot...
