What's New

New Theme: Windows 11

We are happy to announce that the Telerik UI for WinForms themes family will have a new member: the Windows 11 theme. It is no secret that the theme is inspired by Windows 11 OS, bringing smooth, round shapes.

New Control: ToolbarForm

Meet the newest member of the Telerik UI for WinForms forms: ToolbarForm. Its biggest differentiator from a standard form is that the ToolbarForm allows adding various items to the form’s title bar, saving valuable space in the client area of the window. You can add multiple buttons, drop-down menus, text boxes and many other elements to the toolbar. The ToolbarForm comes with multi-row functionality out of the box, ensuring that all the items you add will be visible to the end user.

See the WinForms ToolbarForm docs

New Control: TaskbarButton

With R1 2023, the Telerik UI for WinForms library gets a major addition: a TaskbarButton component. This is a wrapper around the TaskbarButton control that allows managing the application button within the system taskbar and adding further interactivity. It makes it easy for you to display a custom application preview popup, execute application commands, access resources and view program status directly from the taskbar.

See the WinForms TaskbarButton docs

WinForms SyntaxEditor Improvement: Support for Word Wrap

Occasionally, users may have longer rows that exceed the visible area of their SyntaxEditor apps. In that case, they may not always be keen on using a horizontal scrollbar to see the full content. That is why with R1 2023, the Telerik UI for WinForms team adds Word Wrap functionality to ensure that the whole text is visible at a quick glance.

WinForms Day-Zero support for .NET 7

The Telerik UI for WinForms team worked hard to ensure Day-Zero support for .NET 7. Take advantage of the new features and performance improvements.

New WordsProcessing Feature: Add Table of Contents

This feature allows end users to add a Table of Contents to their documents. Additionally, WordsProcessing enables you to insert a table of contents in your RadFlowDocument document using heading styles, other specified styles, outline levels, captions or entries specified by TC (Table of Contents Entry) fields. The Table of Contents can be updated once there are changes made to the document in order to keep it accurate.
