Hello

I'm working on and off a prototype GUI for an existing application using Telerik WinForms Controls for about one year now. Most important controls for me are the GridView and the Docking Controls.
While I'm for the most part impressed by the functionality and design of the controls, I have a deep concern about actually releasing an application using these controls. Here's the reason why: since starting development of the prototype (about 1 year ago) there was no release of the controls that did not at least contain one showstopping bug that would make release of a commercial product based on these controls unthinkable. What's worse, the release policy of telerik forces me to use the newest build with new features to resolve bugs in existing releases. I would prefer a release scheme that separates bug fixing from introduction of new features.

What I would like:

- list of known bugs for each version visible for licensed customers
- high frequency of service pack releases relative to a major release with no introduction of new features or heavy refactoring
- ongoing support and bug fixes for each released major release for at least a year, so that we can get bug fixes without being forced to upgrade to new feature releases (that so far always introduced bugs to previously working functionality)

The current policy forces me to thoroughly retest the application with each SP release and typically forces development of workarounds for new bugs. Also constant changes of end user experience because of changed behaviour is unacceptable for a commercial product.

What do others think? Has anybody actually released a commercial product based on telerik Windows Forms controls to a larger audience - if yes, how do you handle the bug fixing problems with telerik controls for win forms?

I'm working on a data entry form that will be largely navigated with the keyboard, and I can't seem to get the RadButton to indicate focus.  I can see in Theme Builder that it has states set that react to mouseover events, and I tried adding an Or condition to those states to make them activate when the mouse was over them OR the control had focus.  That did nothing. 
 
I also tried setting some different properties on the FocusPrimative element, and that didn't do anything either

Hi
Where do i find the Telerik.WinControls.UI.Docking.ToolTabStrip control like in the Help Desk Demo application ?

Do not see it in the toolbox?

Kind Regards

Under normal circumstance when the mouse is hovered over the menu item, the menu item must be highlighted and when the mouse focus is lost the menu item must not be highlighted,

On some Windows xp machine it works properly (Pic 1) while on others including windows 2003 server machines the menu item is still highlighted even after the mouse focus is lost (Pic 2).

Can any one tell me what can i do to get it working on any operating system?

Hi everybody.

I'm using the gravitybox schedule tool to make appointments, and it's linked to the radCalendar1. But I have a problem regarding selecting the start and end date. I've tried the FocusedDate, SelectedDate properties. The focuseddate doesn't work as I want to, and selectedDate only shows the date 01/01/1980.

Can anybody assist me, how to retrieve the start and end date when I select in the radCalender?

I've also used the Calendar from dotnetbar. It has properties such as selectionStart and selectionEnd, and it works 100%.

Best regards

Hello,

Is there a way to make the nested grid (one level down) visible or invisible? I don't want to show the grid at all.

and if I make it invisible then will it affect the summary row calculations?

regards,
Khizar

I have set the visibility of my tool bar items to False inside my RadMenu.
When I run the porject they are invisible which is exactly what I want.

I have come to add new items to these hidden menus and I can't because they are not visible in design either.

Surely this is a bug and they should be visible in design mode?

Anyway, I need to be able to add the items, how can i go about doing it?
