    Adding Mouse Wheel support in Silverlight. The easy way.

    One of the best uses of our Routed Event extension is implementing missing system events in Silverlight, such as MouseWheel and RightButtonUp/Down. The API we provide is the same as WPF, so when Silverlight eventually gets support for those events, most probably you will not have to change much. Other good thing is that you do not need to write any JavaScript, or to know what's going on beneath. The bad thing is that you will have to enable the windowless mode of the Silverlight plug-in, which will slightly decrease the performance of your application. To attach a Routed Event handler for the MouseWheel event on a...

    Disabling Full Row Selection in Vista Explorer

    One of the things that irritates me the most in Vista is the enabled by default Full Row Selection in Explorer. To see what I'm talking about open an Explorer window in Details View and try to select files with dragging a rectangle. I googled a bit and found that there is a solution for the problem: Under the key:  [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]   Create a new REG_DWORD value named FullRowSelect. Leave it's data as 0x0 and you are set.   After some more digging, I found several scripts which will automatically set and unset this key for you: Keith Miller' Windows Stuff   I hope this helps....

    RadRotator binding to XML data

    As you already know, the upcoming RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2008 release will add a new control to the suite - the RadRotator. If you are familiar with the RadRotator control from the classic ASP.NET controls suite, you will be glad to know that it is now included in the new Ajax suite as well.   One important change I would like to talk about is how the new rotator works with XML data. The classic rotator control had a property called ContentFile, which allowed the developer to specify a XML file to use as a datasource for the rotator frames....

    RadWindow for Silverlight

                  My first post for the Telerik blog community is already here. After I have been part of the Silverlight team for a while, I learned that there are two ways you can get noticed here. Either you blog about some of the most interesting and top-notch stuff happening around, or you post some funny stuff on the internal newsgroups of the company. OK, I hope this post won’t make it for the newsgroups.  So lets get to the point, as our CTP2 release is underway, I am pleased to introduce one of the new controls included in the pack...

    Placing 2D labels in a 3D scene

    Hello everyone, Since that is my first blog, I suppose a short introduction won't do a harm. My name is Evtim Papushev and I am Software Developer @ Telerik. I'm in the Charting division and I currently work on the new RadChart for WPF. Well, that's enough about me, now let's move to the today's topic.   Placing labels in a 3-dimensional scene isn't an issue at all. Well, at least technically, it is simple - place a 3D model, then set text box as diffuse material, set the texture coordinates and you are ready to roll. What such a solution lacks is business...
