As you may already know, the “Prometheus” counter-parts of RadComboBox, RadTreeView and RadMenu made their official appearance in the Q3 2007 release. The migration to the new code base was an opportunity for us to take a fresh look at the controls and identify the weak spots that needed improvement.

One area that received great attention was the Client-side API. We wanted our customers to be able to create smart and responsive applications and this meant rich client-side functionality. Nothing that can be done on the client should require a trip to the server.

The result is a flexible and powerful API...

This morning I was really surprised to find this thread in Telerik forums. Here is the most interesting part:

"...found following thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2670124&SiteID=1
If you scroll to the bottom of the thread you will read about a bizarre situation in which if you have a Microsoft Wireless keyboard and you unplug it then all your grayed out Telerik controls will start working!"

Thank you very much Gavin for posting this!!! Absolutely...

Hello fellows,

I am happy to let you know that we have just released service pack one for Telerik Reporting Q3 2007.

The service pack contains some important fixes for issues found after releasing the Q3 version in mid December. It also brings on board some new enhancements related to the export to PDF feature, like support for fonts located in a TrueType Collection (.ttc) and support for font sub-set embedding when rendering to PDF.

Furthermore, we have managed to do some documentation corrections and additions to our online help.

The full list of the issues fixed in the SP1 for Telerik Reporting Q3 2007 you can see...

Customers often ask if they need to purchase licenses just for the UI developers in their team or for all the devs on the team. The question is very common since most of our clients have large teams in which only a few of the team members work actively with UI controls and all the rest work with other parts of the solution. The question is so common that it was high time I blogged about it and gave our policy some extra publicity.

The answer is always the same: “No, you just need to get a license for the devs who will be working on the UI....

Hello Everyone,

My name is Trayko and I am with the reporting team in Telerik. This is my first blog and I am happy that it is related to something new and cool. For the past month we worked hard and spent countless hours on designing and developing the new...

About a year ago my team leader asked me to write a control which mimics the behavior of Telerik RadPanelBar for ASP.NET.

I had just finished the development of RadToolStrip so I though “Hmm, a panelbar for WinForms. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal. There is no dragging of toolStripItems, there are no floating forms, the add/remove should be easy to do, etc. But it turned out that it was a bit harder to do than I anticipated. Several issues popped up shortly after the Q1 2007 release, mostly related to performance and to controls being hosted in the panelbar.

So...
