RadGridView for WinForms unleashed
Hello everyone, my name is Kiril Matev and I'm a software developer for the Windows Forms team at Telerik. We're all pretty excited about the newly reengineered RadGridView, which is a part of our Q1 2008 release, and I’d like to highlight a couple of features you might find useful. So far, you had to always construct a data source, initialize its columns, and rows, and then bind it to the RadGridView. However, many simpler scenarios demand just adding, editing and removing rows using the API directly. This so-called unbound mode for the RadGridView has long been a must-have feature for many of our customers. We had the opportunity to provide...June 09, 2008 -

Theming Optimizations in RadControls for WinForms
Ever since the first release of RadControls for WinForms, we have tried to deliver WPF-like visual effects outside of the WPF platform. This has allowed our customers to deliver dazzling effects leveraging their knowledge of the stable WinForms paradigm. On the other hand the end users are stunned by the richness of the UI interface and the slim behavior that is traditionally reserved for the high-end multimedia systems. Although quite attractive, this eye-candy has always caused a slight increase in component loading time. We have always tried to avoid this tradeoff of performance versus visuals. In our latest release, we have...June 09, 2008 -

A lot of time passed since my last post , and lot of things have changed and were added to our unique RadControls for WinForms offer. Today, I'd like to direct the spotlight at RadMaskedEditBox for WinForms, which offers some pretty impressive functionality you will find useful in your applications. While using a text box control for text input and editing is quite familiar, such a component has simplified user interface and poor feature set. However because of the popularity we implemented the RadTextBox component. When we finished this control, there were voices from the community that said: “Hey we want a text box...June 04, 2008 -

How to select RadComboBox item with WatiN
Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Elena Tosheva and I’m a QA officer here at Telerik. I have been working here since the end of 2004 year, but it is the first time I’m blogging. I’m responsible for testing ASP.NET team 3 controls (RadComboBox, RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadTreeView, RadMenu, RadToolBar and RadScheduler). As you may already know , we use Selenium for integration testing together with the NUnit and JsUnit tests. Selenium is the best tool which fits our needs for the present.

Using Commands with RadTreeView for WinForms
Cool top secret features fascinate me. Remember the hidden “Easter eggs” game in Excel 2002 (http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/eastereg.htm)? Don’t you love it when developers pull something up from their sleeve, which is so cool, people just brag about it for years? Truth to be told, we have a secret feature in RadTreeView for WinForms as well. It may be not as cool as the “Easter eggs” Excel game, but is something I wanted to share with you for some time now. I like this one, because it is our small secret weapon in the war for dominating the world of software features. RadTreeView has...May 28, 2008
