Hello Progress team,

we're using the HtmlChart and RadialGauge components of your Telerik for AJAX suite and are encountering some inconsistencies between the two.

To be able to use the exportable SVGs of those components server-side, we've extended your classes and added two asp:HiddenFields each, so we can post the SVG and the dimensions back to the server for further processing. (Setting the values is handled in a button OnClientClick JavaScript function, that's irrelevant to this thread.)

As of 2019, when we first introduced the respective feature in our software, the code looked like this:

• Similar for both components
• In both cases the additional HiddenFields get added to the Controls-List "OnInit" before the base.OnInit-event.
• In both cases we had to override the "Render"-function to also render the HiddenField-Controls to the HTML.

public class ExportableRadHtmlChart : RadHtmlChart, INamingContainer
{
    private HiddenField _svgData = new HiddenField();
    private HiddenField _svgDimensions = new HiddenField();
    public ExportableRadHtmlChart()
    {
        _svgData.ID = "SVGData";
        _svgDimensions.ID = "SVGDimensions";
    }

    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        Controls.Add(_svgData);
        Controls.Add(_svgDimensions);
        
        base.OnInit(e);
    }
    
    protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);

        base.Render(writer);

        _svgData.RenderControl(writer);
        _svgDimensions.RenderControl(writer);

        writer.RenderEndTag();
    }
}

and

public class ExportableRadRadialGauge : RadRadialGauge, INamingContainer
{
    private HiddenField _svgData = new HiddenField();
    private HiddenField _svgDimensions = new HiddenField();
    public ExportableRadRadialGauge()
    {
        _svgData.ID = "SVGData";
        _svgDimensions.ID = "SVGDimensions";
    }

    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        Controls.Add(_svgData);
        Controls.Add(_svgDimensions);
        
        base.OnInit(e);
    }

    protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        writer.RenderBeginTag(HtmlTextWriterTag.Div);

        base.Render(writer);

        _svgData.RenderControl(writer);
        _svgDimensions.RenderControl(writer);

        writer.RenderEndTag();
    }
}

With this code, we've been running the Telerik product version 2023.1.323.45.

Now, we've updated to Telerik product version 2025.1.416.462 and are experiencing the following inconsistencies:

1. Using the same code as before, the HiddenFields of class "ExportableRadHtmlChart" render twice:
   
   
   Whereas previously, they've only rendered once:
   

   

   Removing the custom "Render"-function of the class "ExportableRadHtmlChart" resolves this issue. (Having duplicates of those HiddenFields actually causes issues on repeated PostBacks, as two HiddenFields at a time have the same ClientID and thus their values get packed as a comma separated list before transmission to the server, which in turn yields issues when parsing the SVG, which in reality are multiple comma separated SVGs.
   
   The SVG values are truncated in this view, but the dimensions paint a pretty clear picture, as to what's happening here after 4 PostBacks.) Despite requiring to make this adjustment to our software, we're glad, we can discard that custom "Render"-function.
   
2. The "ExportableRadRadialGauge", on the other hand, still only renders the HiddenFields with the custom "Render"-function included. Can we expect a similar fix to the RadialGauge, s.t. we don't require to render the HiddenFields ourselves?

As I'm unsure of the "Theme name", I've put "ControlDefault". But I don't think that should matter too much. If it does, I'll try to find the correct value.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Error is received when click on button. Reproduced randomly on different machines.

Expose a way to disable the Spell Checking Complete dialog:

The Anchor and Dock property is not relevant to the RadPopupContainer and should not be taken into account while calculating the size of the popup drop-down.

Workaround:

Avoid setting the Anchor and Dock properties of the RadPopupContainer.

Excel-like pop-up location is not scaled properly on High DPI.

In the Visual Theme Builder (fresh installed Telerik UI for WinForms) you'll get an error because the directory "VbsRecoveryData" seems to be missing. Creating the directory before "package.Compress(path)" fixes this for me.

When Telerik UI for WinForms / WPF extensions are installed, Visual Studio is unresponsive for a couple of minutes after a solution is loaded. During that time, "Updating source control status…" is shown.

Workarounds:

• Disable Telerik UI for WinForms / WPF extensions.
• Checkout the solution file.

On the second opening, it corrects:

Hello,

We encountered problems with configuration of the toolbox in Visual Studio 2022 when out-of-proc designer is active.
More information about the usage and reason for the out-of-proc designer: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/blob/main/docs/designer/designer-selection.md

Tested environment:
- Visual Studio 2022
- .NET Framework 4.7.1
- 32-bit application
- Windows 11 Pro
- Telerik UI For Winforms 2025.2.520.462

When trying to add a rad control from the toolbox the error in attachment occurs.

Workaround:
- Disable the out-of-proc designer in the project file:

<UseWinFormsOutOfProcDesigner>False</UseWinFormsOutOfProcDesigner>
