WPF Series: Adorners, Commands and Logical Tree
Today I'm going to tell you a WPF story. But before I start to dig deeper let me first introduce you the main characters in this post. Here they are: Adorner - adorners are simple UIElement decorators. Suppose that you have a RichTextBox and you want to place a comment box over it, so that users can comment on the text in the box. This can be archived with adorners. Actually the WPF framework uses adorners internally for exactly the same purpose when you edit and annotate FlowDocument in a DocumentViewer. This is the reason why adorners are in System.Windows.Documents namespace. Command - commands are UI...May 27, 2021 5 min read -

RadChart: Auto Text-wrapping
Hello, With the Q1 2008 release date closing-in fast, I'd like to present to you yet another big improvement that will be introduced in the new version of RadChart -- automatic text-wrapping support. So what's it all about? RadChart introduces automatic Notepad-like word-wrapping functionality for the following text elements: Chart Title Chart Legend Item Labels Axis Item Labels Axis Labels MarkedZone Labels EmptySeriesMessage Label DataTable-related text elements Automatic text-wrapping will be disabled by default but the chart control provides fine-grained API that allows you to enable wrapping for all elements, or alternatively on individual element basis. Here are a few screenshots that demonstrate the rich customization options provided for text-wrapping (also this is a sneak preview of some... -

UIElement3D Tips and Tricks
It has been a while since I last blogged and after changing teams in the company I decided that it’s time to brush the dust off my blog. So far the move from the ASP.NET world to WPF has been both challenging and enlightening at the same time. There are many new programming concepts going on in WPF and I will try to keep a series of blog posts which will reveal my experiences and thoughts from the viewpoint of an ex-ASP.NET developer diving into the brave new world of WPF. These days I am dealing with a lot of... -

Web components styling tests automation, cross-browser solution
It’s been quite some time since my last post concerning the RadControls automation tests developed with Selenium. We still have a lot to share about our Selenium adventure, which could help those, interested in similar solutions. First of all, I believe you are unable to completely verify the visual appearance of your Web application via automated tests. There is no way you can skip the manual check if the app “looks” good and has no visual glitches anywhere. Still, the client-side styling tests automation can be considered to be the first step for the necessary web page appearance verification. I ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

It's time for the annual asp.netPRO Readers Choice Awards
Voting is underway for one of the most respected and well recognized awards programs in the .NET industry - the asp.netPRO Readers Choice Awards. Last year, we received 8 awards, one for every category in which Telerik was nominated. So, how far can we get this year with your support? Let's vote and see what happens in May '08ReleaseThe New RadControls Installer
We have been using the same old installer for a very long time. The reason for that is very simple - because it worked. However, with the release of the new RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax suite we felt that it is time for a change. The people who tried our new futures build for Q1 2008 already know what I am talking about - the Prometheus controls come with a totally redesigned installation experience. There were two main issues we wanted to address - install/uninstall speed and the look & feel of the installation wizard. I am happy to say that we achieved...Web ASP.NET AJAXPrometheus Futures and... new RadFormDecorator :)
Did you know that we just released our Prometheus Futures build? And what exactly a Futures build means? It is nothing less than a preview build for the 2008 Q1 RadControls suite release coming in April! We keep adding new controls to the Prometheus suite to get it ready for its official premiere. Three long-awaited RadControls Classic controls were ported to the suite - RadToolbar, RadPanelbar, RadTabstrip, thus bringing the total number of Prometheus controls to twenty-two. The Prometheus suite is more than a suite of controls. It is built on top of MS AJAX, and offers a common client-side framework that allows for small overall client-side footprint,...
