Telerik UI for Winforms
To continue providing industry-leading support for Microsoft’s newest frameworks and following the evolution of .NET, Telerik UI for WinForms now features compatibility with .NET 9.
А New Windows 11 High Contrast Theme is now available to enable you with even more styling choices that you can easily use in your applications.
The WinForms GridView now supports Load-On-Demand for self-referencing hierarchical data structures, enabling faster performance and reduced memory usage. With this feature, child templates are dynamically loaded as needed, providing seamless interaction with large datasets while maintaining a responsive user experience.
RadSyntaxEditor for WinForms now includes a dedicated JSON Tagger. This feature provides improved readability and easier navigation of JSON data, making it more intuitive to work with complex JSON files directly within the editor.
RadDropDownList now supports UI Automation. The main goal of this implementation is to help support compliance with accessibility standards and to provide a common practice for automated testing.
With 2024 Q3 release, the Telerik UI for WinForms introduces support for merged cells in the GridView control. Consecutive / serial cells with equal values can be merged vertically or horizontally with this new enhancement.
You can easily edit the merged cells in two ways – edit only the current cell or edit all merged cells at once. When the merge cells functionality is enabled, the WinForms GridView control exposes a CellMerging event, triggered when two cells are going to be merged. Customizing the merged cells is also possible via the ViewCellFormatting event of the control allowing you to change the color of a merged cell for example.
Last mut not least, the Telerik UI for WinForms GridView merge cell capability enables you to define merge cell rules at column or template level.
Check out the Telerik UI for WinForms GridView merged cell documentation for more details.
Indicate whether a row is selected or not by displaying a checkbox for each item with the brand-new GridViewSelectColumn capability. Unlike other data column types, the GridViewSelectColumn inherits from GridViewColumn and does not bind to data. This new feature extends the users’ selection experience by allowing them to select or deselect rows from the grid by using a checkbox.

With 2024 Q3 release, the Telerik UI for WinForms NavigationView supports UI automation also referred to as UI accessibility. The main goal of this new implementation is to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and to provide a common practice for automated testing.

Along with the Telerik UI for WinForms GridView and NavigationView improvements, the 2024 Q3 release also introduces a couple of other updates that would make your work with the desktop controls even better:
