As many of you noticed Telerik Scheduler was relesead with a completely new look of the edit appointment dialog.

Some of the things inside the dialog are just redesigned, however some of them are completely new like the categories,time markers and the importance buttons. Today I will give you more information about them:

 

Categories:

There are some built-in categories in RadScheduler and in  its edit dialog. A category can be assigned to an appointment by choosing one from the dialog on through code behind like this:

Then the category will appear in the appointment:

and in the edit dialog:...

We have recently introduced a new feature  in RadScheduler for Silverlight/WPF -  Resource Grouping. Now I will tell you more about how to customize the look and feel of the appointments in every resource group including the header of this group.

All you have to do is set a ResourceStyleMapping object associated with every resource:

 

Using this object you can set the following properties:

ResourceName - the name of the resource that should be associated with this style

ResourceType - the name of the type, to which the resource belongs

ResourceBrush - the value of this property is ...

Once again we kept our promise and we are happy to introduce to you the Resource Grouping of Telerik Scheduler for Silverlight and WPF - the most requested feature for this control.
 
Multiple Resources, Resource Grouping,new design of Edit Appointment dialog and TimeLineView are the new features coming with Beta1 release due in the second half of this month.
 
Here are a few screenshots on the upcoming new features:

 

 

Stay tuned to see what else we have prepared for you in the upcoming Beta release!

We received a couple of questions on how some of the days and hours in the different views of RadScheduler can be customized.

The answer of this question is in the attached application illustrating how working hours and days can be  marked in orange.

 The solution includes 3 easy steps :

1. Create a custom theme using the default RadScheduler' theme.
2. Create a ValueConverter returning the right color depending on the hour/day.
3. Find the style applied to every hour(timeslot) and apply the converter to the Background property.

To create a custom theme you can follow the steps below:

1. Create ...

In the upcoming Q2 release RadScheduler  will include a new property called AppointmentTemplateSelector. This property will be included in both  Silverlight and WPF versions of the control.

Using it,  you will be able to easily apply different DataTemplate  to the appointments by any custom condition.

All you need to do is to create a custom class inheriting from the  DataTemplateSelector class and override the SelectTemplate method.

 

For example:

Hi, all.

We have a couple of requests from customers to do something and make RadComboBox working when javascript is disabled. And we did it. We implemented a new AccessibilityMode property which will render noscript tag containg a select html element. This will make the combobox control usable even if the javascript of the browser is disabled.

Yes, it will be displayed like an usual drop down list but still it will be RadComboBox on the server.

The following RadComboBox definition :

Do you think that RadComboBox animations are boring? We can spice them up

with a little  help from jQuery.

Let's make the dropdown fade for example - This can be done very easily

using the fadeIn, fadeTo and fadeOut jQuery methods. You can download a

sample project for more details.

We can also animate the text of the items. All you need  to do is to

animate the padding-left css attribute of the item's DOM element. The

following script shows how the text can be moved when you hover over the

item:

$('.rcbItem')

.mouseover(function(){

         $(this).stop().animate({paddingLeft:"54px"}, {duration:500});

})...

Hi all,

In this blog post I will show you some of the new features of RadComboBox, RadTreeView, RadUpload and RadScheduler which will appear in our Q2 2008 release. First I will introduce you with a cool new RadComboBox feature.

Did you become a Telerik fan on Facebook yet? If not you can do so by going to http://telerikwatch.com/2008/06/become-official-telerik-fan.html. The reason I am talking about Facebook is that the new filtering functionality of RadCombobox works quite similarly.

 
To enable this new feature you will need to set the Filter property to either one of the 3 ...

Hello Everyone, my name is Rosi and I am a developer on the ASP.NET navigation controls team.

This is my first blog post and I will be talking about the RadUpload component.  Many customers have asked how to upload multiple files with it.

Unfortunately RadUpload does not yet support this functionality out of the box, but I will show you how to work-around this limitation. The trick is uploading one  .zip file and extracting it on the server.  To achieve this we will need a little help from a third party library.  Such libraries are  DotNetZip and SharpZipLib which provide a convenient API ...
