Theming Optimizations in RadControls for WinForms
Ever since the first release of RadControls for WinForms, we have tried to deliver WPF-like visual effects outside of the WPF platform. This has allowed our customers to deliver dazzling effects leveraging their knowledge of the stable WinForms paradigm. On the other hand the end users are stunned by the richness of the UI interface and the slim behavior that is traditionally reserved for the high-end multimedia systems. Although quite attractive, this eye-candy has always caused a slight increase in component loading time. We have always tried to avoid this tradeoff of performance versus visuals. In our latest release, we have... -

RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax and IronPython
We recently received a request if RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax support IronPython and the answer is “yes”. Yesterday I tested our latest SP1 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX against the Microsoft ASP.NET Futures (July 2007) and it seems there are no problems. Here are some screenshots how the RadComboBox control gets updated by RadAjaxManager – design and run-time: Design-time: Run-time:May 27, 2021 1 min read -

The difference between ID, ClientID and UniqueID
I this post I will try to explain the difference between those three commonly used properties. Each property is described in a separate section. Attached you can find a sample web site as well as two screenshots visually depicting the difference between the ID, ClientID and UniqueID properties. The ID property is used to assign an identifier to an ASP.NET server control which can be later used to access that control. You can use either the field generated in the codebehind or pass the value of the ID property to the FindControl method. There is a catch though - the ID property is... -

Can I create a bracket(tournament) with RadTreeView for Silverlight 2?
The powerful Control Template and Styling mechanism of the forthcoming RadTreeView for Silverlight 2 will allow you to easily create a "bracket" view. The forthcoming CTP release of RadControls for Silverlight 2 (that will be live as soon as Microsoft launches the official Silverlight 2 Beta 2) will feature such an example in the QSF section. The screen-shot below gives you a short preview of what the lookless RadTreeView is all about. Another example that will be demonstrated within the QSF section is a panelbar view of the tree control. Along with its advanced layout mechanism RadTreeView harnesses the power of content-driven controls.... -

RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax in SharePoint 2007 and DotNetNuke
SharePoint We recently pulled out a sample SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) site which shows RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax working in SharePoint environment. You can check it out by going to http://sharepoint.telerik.com. This site is a SharePoint Publishing portal. We have modified the master page and replaced the default navigation controls with RadTabStrip and RadPanelbar. The required steps are described in detail in our online documentation. The Corporate section of the SharePoint is utilizing a different master page which incorporates RadMenu and RadTreeView. RadEditor for MOSS also got a major update - go check Stoyans’s blog post for more info. Also we prepared three demo pages showcasing RadScheduler, RadEditor and RadGrid working seamlessly in SharePoint. The main challenge here was to get... -

Full-featured RadEditor for MOSS 5.0
Our RadEditor for MOSS product has reached version 5.0. There are some major changes that you should know before you upgrade from version 4.x. First and most important is that the 5.0 version uses RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX. The new editor offers many improvements over the previous RadEditor for ASP.NET, too many to list here. Check the product page for more details. This is a major upgrade and it means that you will need to have the WSS v3/MOSS 2007 Service Pack 1 and ASP.NET AJAX installed in your web farm. The second important change is in the RadEditor features. There are still two features... -

The Excellence of RadMaskedEditBox
A lot of time passed since my last post , and lot of things have changed and were added to our unique RadControls for WinForms offer. Today, I'd like to direct the spotlight at RadMaskedEditBox for WinForms, which offers some pretty impressive functionality you will find useful in your applications. While using a text box control for text input and editing is quite familiar, such a component has simplified user interface and poor feature set. However because of the popularity we implemented the RadTextBox component. When we finished this control, there were voices from the community that said: “Hey we want a text box... -

If you purged this blog from your feed readers in my absence, be sure to re-add it so you won't miss a thing. In the mean time, while I haven't been active on these blogs, I haven't been absent from the... -

How to select RadComboBox item with WatiN
Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Elena Tosheva and I’m a QA officer here at Telerik. I have been working here since the end of 2004 year, but it is the first time I’m blogging. I’m responsible for testing ASP.NET team 3 controls (RadComboBox, RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadTreeView, RadMenu, RadToolBar and RadScheduler). As you may already know , we use Selenium for integration testing together with the NUnit and JsUnit tests. Selenium is the best tool which fits our needs for the present. Here is a blog post provided by Falafel how to select RadComboBox item with Selenium....May 27, 2021 1 min read -

Using Commands with RadTreeView for WinForms
Cool top secret features fascinate me. Remember the hidden “Easter eggs” game in Excel 2002 (http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/eastereg.htm)? Don’t you love it when developers pull something up from their sleeve, which is so cool, people just brag about it for years? Truth to be told, we have a secret feature in RadTreeView for WinForms as well. It may be not as cool as the “Easter eggs” Excel game, but is something I wanted to share with you for some time now. I like this one, because it is our small secret weapon in the war for dominating the world of software features. RadTreeView has...May 27, 2021 2 min read
