    JavaScript >> Get Any CSS Property Value of an Object using $style

        This is the first of a series of blog posts providing Javascript and CSS tips and tricks aimed to help you in your day-to-day work with web user interfaces. Anyone who needs to polish a user interface and make it truly cross-browser has hit the wall of browser differences, bugs and inconsistencies. There are plenty of resources on the Internet discussing workarounds to some of those problems - but our team's front-end developer Martin and I believe that in "our" bag of tricks there are some interesting ones as well. We will try to roll out at least 20...

    Showing "tooltips" for list items in RadComboBox

    There are two ways of doing this: The first approach is to assign directly the text to be displayed to every ComboBoxItem. This is done through the API or through the design time. You must assign the required text to every item’s ToolTipText.     The second approach is to handle the ToolTipTextNeeded event where custom logic can be applied: private voidTestComboBox1_Load(objectsender, EventArgs e) {     ComboPopupForm parent = this.radComboBox1.ComboBoxElement.ListBoxElement.ElementTree.Control asComboPopupForm;     if(parent != null)     {         parent.ToolTipTextNeeded += newTelerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventHandler(radComboBox1_ToolTipTextNeeded);     } } Add...

    Visual Studio Tooltips unplugged: Drag and Drop code artifacts to Toolbox General Tab.

    I bet you never thought about this feature! Me either… It’s good that there is a marvelous blog about all goodies in VS maintained by a nice lady. I will be monitoring and making comments on the topics there that have excited me most. So what is on today’s menu? As you’ve probably figured it out already, I will comment on a fine (but unknown to me) feature of dragging and pasting code artifacts straight to the VS toolbox. At first I was a little bit skeptic, but it really worked out, let me show you how: 1. Mark a code segment...

    Where is RadFormDecorator heading?

    If I had to summarize what the RadFormDecorator control is about in a single sentence, it would be: The RadFormDecorator aims to unload yet another task from the "regular Joe" developer by reducing the need for styling elements on the page. Enter RadControls Telerik RadControls provide a great deal of rich UI controls allowing a developer to build web-based applications that resemble the richness of a desktop application. The majority of controls provided in the suite do not have direct analogs provided by the browser - e.g. RadEditor, RadGrid, etc. There are also a number of controls that can be used to replace somewhat similar browser counterparts.  For...

    Visual Studio Tip: Creating Your Own Code Snippets

    I recently blogged about using code snippets as a shortcut to writing more code in less time. In this post, I'm going to walk you through the steps to create custom snippets that you can install into Visual Studio for use in your own projects To get started, let's take a look at the anatomy of a snippet. A snippet is nothing more than an XML file, with a .snippet extension, containing configuration settings. If you open up the file foreach.snippet (located in "<Visual Studio installation directory>\VC#\Snippets\1033\Visual C#") you'll find the following XML, which defines the foreach snippet: As you can see, the XML used to...

    You said Windows 3.11? Did I hear right?

    Well folks that's right - MS Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is pretty much still alive and kicking. First when I found out that this 15+ years old OS was still popular in the embedded segment (please forgive my ignorance as embedded systems are not my core competency) I couldn't believe my eyes. According to John Coyne this fact changes starting October 1st, 2008 - from this date on OEM's will no longer be able to license Windows for Workgroups 3.11. The comments and the flame that started at ArsTechnica are very interesting though. It looks like the guys that...
