The new architecture of the dock control is completely different from the CTP, but the documentation is very poor, not what I am used to from you guys.
How do you use the UserDockControl, and how is the docking manager supposed to work at design time.

The new windows controls look to have great promise but I am struggling to find information on how they are supposed to work.
What would really be good, for all of your controls, is a movie (walk-through) that shows a developer using each control. From design to configuration and integration in a simple application. Sometimes it tough to get started, for example with the Dock functionality where do you start? There are several controls that appear to be involved with the Dock functionality.
After some trial and error and in the product description it looks like you start with a Docking Manager, but that is not intuitive and the help not being complete (I hope) it makes developers getting used to the control waste several hours trying to figure it out.
I like the examples, but there is no way to see how you got there, so including a movie that shows "HOW" the examples were created would be extraordinary.
Thanks for the windows controls, nice to finally get controls that make an application look current and like I said earlier they look very promising!

I am attempting to add a radribbonbarbuttongroup to my ribbonbar and I am not seeing it listed in the toolbox. I have created a toolbox tab and dragged the Telerik.WinControls.UI.dll to it. I am able to see the RadRibbonBar in the toolbox but no buttongroup. I have also verified that I am able to see the buttongroup in code. I could manually add the element via code but, that would defeat the purpose of having the toolbox and a visual IDE. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I am attempting to customize the ribbonbar StartButtonImage. I am able to adjust the property so that the correct image shows in the design but when executing the application, the telerik logo show instead of the image in designer. I assume I should be able to change this as there is a property for it... Am I overlooking something simple..
Thank you in advance...

Following the quite successful announcement on TechEd 2006 in Boston, I am very happy to reveal that telerik is working on WinForms counterparts of its famous r.a.d.controls suite.
Key Product Highlights:
telerik r.a.d.controls for WinForms is a brand new experience for Windows Forms development. Built upon a unique architecture, telerik r.a.d.controls for Windows Forms offers advanced WPF-like UI capabilities to .NET developers today:
- Unique architecture, which follows WPF (Avalon) best practices
- Separated logic from presentation - enables designers to freely customize the UI
- Dynamic CSS-like styling and centralized Themes mechanism for complete control over UI elements
- Unlimited nesting of UI elements with automatic inheritance of parent properties and behaviors
- Property animation effects through Styles/Themes
Controls included:
- RibbonBar
- Docking controls and containers
- ToolStrip
- MenuStrip
- StatusStrip (EDIT: As of June 2007 this control is still not available in the WinForms suite)
- TabStrip
- Combobox
- Grid expected next year

a panel bar would be a nice addition to the winform controls. a panelbar with similar functionality as the outlook 2003 panel bar that has the icons down at the bottom when the panel is resized using the handy resize bar on the top of the upper most hidden panel item.

Hi there,
Maybe I'm missing something but I couldn't find a way to add some custom items in a ribbonbar chunk except the items which are available in the context menu in design mode? There're only several buttons, dropdowns and combobox available.
I want to create a gallery-like control using your scroll panel and buttons placed inside.
Am I doing something wrong?

With the SplitButton. We have multiple items in the dropdown menu. What we would like to do is;
If the user click on the button it will activate the default item click event.
If the user click on the little arrow on the right of the button it should expand and show other items in the dropdown.
The problem is that if you click the button it show the dropdown items regardless.
If you implement the click event for the SplitButton, then it doesn't matter where the user click on the button it always execute the SplitButton click event.
In the SplitButton click event, how do you work out if the user click on the button or the little arrow on the right?
I'm using the button in a dialog.
