I am pleased to announce that today we released Q2 2013. The new version comes with
plenty of highly requested and promised in the
Public FeedbackPortal, PITS,
What’s New
and
Beta release blog
new controls and features:
-
New
TileList control
,
which will help you build a Windows 8 like Start Menu with support for different
tile types, multiple tiles selection and drag&drop abilities.
-
Light-weight rendering mode for
Calendar
,
Dock,
Window,
FormDecorator and
ToolTip
-
More stable controls: You can check in the Release Notes, how many improvements and fixes were done in the most popular and other controls.
-
Accessibility improvements in multiple controls so
that they pass higher level of accessibility: AutoCompleteBox, ComboBox, Dock, FileExplorer,
ListBox, SearchBox, TreeView
And that’s not all! Some of the nice additions
are listed below:
Grid:
-
Batch Editing Functionality in RadGrid
– this client-side option improves the user experience
and server performance by turning on grid cells in edit mode by simply clicking
on them. You can give it a try by visiting the live demo here.
-
We also provided the ability to set header, footer
and page number for the exported PDF file (live demo)
PivotGrid:
-
Excel export
– a highly requested by the users feature essential for every grid control
-
Totals Calculations
- instead of presenting the whole Total number, you can
configure the PivotGrid to show, for example, what percentage of the GrandTotal
is the value in particular cell.
-
OLAP Filtering
Chart (HTML5):
- Candlestick chart type
- DateTime support for databound charts
-
Properties that customize the markers appearance
(size, border) and line width within the AreaSeries, LineSeries and Scatter(Line)Series
-
Clicking on the series name in the legend shows or
hides the corresponding series in the chart
-
SeriesItems collection with specific item types for
each chart type, and this lets you set the item’s color when creating it programmatically
in the object constructor
DropdownTree:
Ribbonbar:
-
New RibbonBarGallery
- It is very handy in scenarios where you want to show
more visual effects and need to see the changes immediately as the Styles gallery
of MS Word
- Improved ApplicationMenu, which follows the MS guidelines and
looks similar to the one of MS Office
ImageEditor:
-
The control now offers the ability to resize and move figures that are already drawn (demo)
-
The default toolbar UI is updated so that the built-in tools are ordered to fit
better (demo)
SearchBox:
-
Ability to specify the search context (demo)
Scheduler:
-
Ability to resize appointments across multiple columns in Week/Multiday View (demo)
