For Telerik and Kendo UI line of products
With the upcoming release we're looking to add a brand-new component: the DateRangePicker. This widget will be extremely useful in scenarios where a start- and end-date needs to be selected in one widget.
With the R3 2018 release we plan on updating some of our most popular components.
This includes adding features to the TreeList component, including support for:
The Grid is also included and will receive:
In the second release of the year for Telerik UI for WPF, we are planning to continue our commitment to bringing more theming options for your desktop applications. Following the Fluent Theme (from R1), we will be introducing a MacOS inspired theme, delivering the renown Mac OS look and feel to your WPF apps. The team at Apple have been a trend setter with their clean UI and with the MacOS theme you will be able to bring that style to your own apps.
In the last release of the year, a new control will be making its way to the Telerik UI for WPF suite - The MultiColumnComboBox. There are certain scenarios, like saving real estate on a screen or allowing easier searching for a record in a vast array of data, in which a grid control in a drop down is what gets the job done. This is exactly what the MultiColumnComboBox control will offer - a ComboBox with a Grid in the dropdown.
With this new feature in the PDFViewer control, you will be able to easily embed bookmarking functionality in your WPF applications. The bookmakrs allow for saving and faster searching and navigation to different parts of a certain PDF Document (e.g. Table of Contents). This could save end users valuable time in navigating through a PDF file and find the needed information faster.
We are planning to deliver another functionality to the RichTextBox - Paste Options. It will enable a common Word feature, where you can choose the formatting of the pasted text - keeping the original formatting or merging it the one already in place in the document.
This feature will allow you to deliver an even better experience when working with the ImageEditor control. By incorporating the selection modes, the application's end-users will be able to select certain parts of the document to crop or apply effects to.
Agenda view is a new view mode of RadScheduler, which will allow for an easier representation of a person’s agenda for a day. This view became popular with mobile phones and now it makes its way to desktop. This way, our users can bring the latest scheduler views in their existing and everlasting WinForms applications.
Following the latest trends in desktop development, the Slide Drawer a.k.a. Hamburger Menu is a very intuitive and modern navigational control, which we are planning to add to Telerik UI for WinForms in the R3 2018 Release.
Themes define the overall look of your application, both in terms of styling and consistent UI across the components of the application. Following the great success of the Material and Fluent themes, we plan to expand the theming support of you WinForms applications with another option - the Apple/MacOS-Inspired theme, replicating the UX and UI of Applications to classic WinForms apps.

Kendo UI, our JavaScript UI library, is the core of some of our ASP.NET AJAX components. As a part of the upcoming R3 2018 release we are going to upgrade the internal version of Kendo UI. This will provide developers with updates and fixes for various components, including the RadHtmlChart.

The Calendar control in Telerik UI for Xamarin already provides numerous features and functionalities, but we are far from done! We plan to add an even bigger array of scheduling capabilities to the control, so that you can use it out-of-the-box with minimal additional setup and configuration, while achieving a great user experience.
Most mobile apps out there that include user accounts requite a login and authentication screen. That's why as of our next release, we are planning to include a built-in login and app feedback screens making it extremely easy for you to add them to your Xamarin apps.
Screen size makes it hard to fit everything you want to show on a mobile device. With the new Expander component we've planned for Telerik UI for Xamarin, we want to enable you to display data in an intuitive way, by only expanding on a certain item, which the user is interested in.
There is no question, that charts are one of the top visualization controls for various industries, however, they often need to be customized to present the data in the right way. There are also times, where only a specific chart would work and that's why we are planning to expand the number of charts available in the Chart control in Telerik UI for Xamarin.
