These are controls that exist in one form or another in most of the other suites so we had some client requests to add them in our Silverlight / WPF suite too. In WPF you have GroupBox, Label and ToolTip in the presentation framework however we had no themes for them. In Silverlight there is only ToolTip.

GroupBox and Label

We have created GroupBox and Label in Telerik.Windows.Controls assembly. In WPF they extend the existing GroupBox and Label controls and only add themes. In Silverlight they extend HeaderedContentControl and ContentControl. How you can use them:

With the Q1 2011 release just around the corner, we remain true to our tradition to provide you with a special preview of the release highlights across Telerik’s entire product portfolio. This time around we will start with a sneak peek at some exciting new improvements and additions to JustCode, our Visual Studio productivity add-in.

Coupled with JustCode’s real-time solution-wide code analysis and powerful refactorings, these three new features will allow you to write better .NET...

Part one: Moving a child element from one parent to another

1. Problem

The purpose of this post is to show one possible way to solve the following scenario.

Having a Silverlight RadTreeView that loads its items from a database via WCF RIA services, we want to update the database immediately after a drag and drop operation has been performed within the RadTreeView.

The drag and drop operation in this post will be moving a child element from one parent to another. Reordering items will be shown in a future post.

2.Design

We will be using the MVVM Design Pattern. Let’s take a close look...

Telerik Page Transitions for WP7 sample code

With the first CTP of Telerik RadControls for Windows Phone 7 we introduced the page transitions. You can read more info about them in my blog post. Now with the beta1 release we created a sample application which you can use as a reference in order to add the Metro transitions into your application.

Check the video screencast of the sample application here.

The sample application is based on a design of a ToDo application. We are showing the more complex transitions. We have examples for:

 - Tile transition,

 - Continuum transition,

 - Slide and Sviwel transition,

 - Turnstile and slide transition. 

Apart from...

While developing our QSF application (available on the WP7 Marketplace under the name Telerik RadControls) one of our main goals was to combine our Metro design inspiration and the WP7 OS performance thus creating the ultimate Windows Phone user experience. I must admit that we faced some challenges way back then which greatly expanded our WP7 knowledge, and helped us introduce further performance and memory footprint optimizations in our latest Beta 1 release of our suite.

One of the heavily utilized controls in this application is the ListBox control available in the standard Windows Phone toolbox. While this control brings great...

The preview of Moonlight 4, an open source Linux implementation of Microsoft Silverlight by Novell is already a fact. And so is Telerik RadControls for Silverlight support for it.

The preview of Moonlight 4 and RadControls for Silverlight support for it, now gives developers the flexibility they need to extend rich media application development to Linux. And this is not the first time we cooperate with Novell. Back in...

So, you occasionally (or frequently) attend user group meetings. There is always that one ‘guy’ who organized  the venue, arranged for a star speaker to come in,  and even got pizza & pop. He/she collects the feedback forms after the meeting to send them off to INETA, and makes sure the meeting room is left in ‘presentable’ state so the user group doesn’t get kicked out of this meeting space. Updates of the group website are courtesy of this community champion….

In addition to incredible passion of your user group leader, did you ever wonder what is needed to run a...

Telerik has always strived to make its products accessible and available to a wide range of people. It is part of Telerik's vision for providing leading developer products, just like browser support in our AJAX controls, right-to-left language support, localization, performance, and everything else that makes up excellent controls.

In the upcoming Q1 2011 RadControls for WinForms will implement Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) support which will make the Telerik WinForms controls the first suite to be compliant with the latest user interface accessibility and UI automation standards (FYI, in Q1 we will also extend our localization support and support for right-to-left languages to all...
