Customizing RadRichTextBox’s ContextMenu and SelectionMiniToolBar
With Q3 2010 we introduced some cool UI additions to RadRichTextBox, including SelectionMiniToolBar and ContextMenu. SelectionMiniToolBar SelectionMiniToolBar is a floating toolbar that appears next to the current position after making a selection with the mouse in the document. It contains some useful commands for formatting text: As RadRichTextBox loads the default SelectionMiniToolBar using MEF, it can be completely replaced with a custom one. This can be done as easy as with the other RadRichTextBox dialogs by implementing the ISelectionMiniToolBar interface and marking the class that implements it with the CustomSelectionMiniToolBarAttribute attribute. The technique was also described in greater details in this blog... -

Want to see the (bright) Future of Silverlight?
The latest release of Silverlight - ver.4 was released earlier this year. For me this was the first Silverlight release that was stable and mature enough so that I could recommend to anyone building business applications to use it broadly. Now, six months later, we can see that the Silverlight adoption is very high and that there are a lot of great tools built with it. Regardless of all the recent comments and mostly speculations about the future of Silverlight I believe that this will be the primary MS platform for building applications for Windows and Mac in years to come. At MIX this year, the Silverlight platform was also introduced to... -

RadControls for Windows Phone 7: Introducing RadWindow
Graphical user interfaces are rife with popups and messages springing from every direction in order to notify users of important information. The Windows Phone 7 experience is no different and RadWindow is here to provide this functionality. Currently the toolkit for windows phone development provides a Popup control out of the box, so why bother writing a window from scratch? The main reason is that the stock popup is not hardware accelerated, that is, animations on UI elements displayed on it are executed on the UI thread, it doesn’t matter if the animation is a simple double animation, if you... -
