Provide an AI assistant for code generation with the Telerik UI for WinForms controls. 

Such as Telerik Blazor AI Coding Assistant

 Currently, the EnableUIAutomation property can be set per control. It would be useful if there is an opportunity to enable/disable it globally. 

RadMessageBox(form) is a telerik replacement for the System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.

MessageBox has a parameter MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly which makes it (surprisingly) topmost. RadMessageBox does not have this option.

I have a scenario where the RadMessageBox is hidden by a total different application when shown. So I need to make it topmost.

Can you add some kind op RadMessageBoxOptions to make it topmost?

 

When I use the new project wizard provided by Microsoft for a new windows forms project it lets me select the target .net version

When I do the same with the Telerik wizard, it does not let me choose what .net Version I'm targeting and does not generate the optimal code for the target version. For example when I target .net 9.0 with high dpi support, it should generate API calls for High DPI, not an entry in the app manifest. IMHO the generated code should be as close to the Microsoft Standard for the targeted .net version as possible. 

 

Request a JSON tagger for the SyntaxEditor

I would like to see a new property added to the RadLabel control: Style. Style is an enumeration with layout styles like in MS-Word: 

• Normal
• Title
• Heading 1
• Heading 2
• etc.

When the style is applied, the styling (font, color, background, etc.) is applied conform the currently active Theme. Therefor all themes need to be expended to support this setting.

Of course the enum label 'Custom' should be present (or null) when a user tries to override the style-related properties (like font, color, background, etc.)

This is very usefull when a programmer wants to build his own form (with or without Layout / Flow controls).

Telerik already uses it a bit themselves: Some (data entry) controls already generate (group) headers and captions in there forms. 

Improve keyboard accessibility in RadGridView.

Please consider integration / enhancement of the following rich sting rendering capabilities enabling performance for quick rich string related rendering tasks, providing further alternatives to GDI and GDI+ based tiresome and limited solutions, allowing scaling: https://github.com/toptensoftware/RichTextKit

 

 

Control for uploading files to storage.

Add new ThemePicker component that allows dynamic themes changes. 

I have a custom Fluent theme as a package, it would be nice if there was a way to load packages (Embedded Resource or files) with the RadThemeManager.

Rather than typing this: Telerik.WinControls.ThemeResolutionService.LoadPackageResource("GUI.Themes.Fluent_Custom.tssp");

Right now the RadThemeManager only supports XML files. Feeding it a tssp file doesn't work.

 

For it to show up in design-time I have to assign it all of the unpackaged XML files and then delete the RadThemeManager for the theme to show up, otherwise the load time is like 7 seconds, where as embedded packages load super fast.

The fluent theme has a lot of XML files and this is a huge pain, supporting 1 Embedded Resource tssp package would be nice.

 

Would also be nice if the RadThemeManager could apply/change a theme globally somewhere in the SmartTag menu or RadThemeManager properties.

Instead of having to type this: ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = "Fluent_Custom";

We should enable the out-of-process designer in .NET Framework projects so that old third party 32-bit and ActiveX/COM controls can be loaded inside Visual Studio 2022.

I’m converting 20+ year old c# .net winform software that a clever internal ex dev wrote a themed control suite for. I’ve been working with those controls for almost the same length of time but am recently tasked with updating the whole app as customers are experiencing fall overs on some modern versions of Windows. Ive had the pleasure of (almost quietly ?) converting/updating by using Telerik for many years as my choice of replacement themed control systems.

Conversion experience has been pretty good, except for combo boxes, probably listboxes too (sorry guys Im writing this in bed at 5am so can’t/won’t just go testing). I did try, i think, using your conversion wizards without success. I do wish that you’d let us add any type of object to a combobox.item array in the same way that microsoft winform control allows.
Ive also noticed that some events dont occur in telerik, eg index changed need to be switched to valuechanged and these are only spotted when testing, which means extra work.

anyway. Bless an thanks to you all for my good experience with Progress/Telerik. Im old, poorly and crumbly now and wont be around much longer. May i last long enough not to need a pension to survive and i hope each of you invests in enough private pension to give yourselves a decent holiday or three per year ;) 

 

Similar to VisualStudio2022Light theme blending. Provide an easy way to change the palette for the Windows 11 themes. 

A tool for selecting a range of dates.

The default behavior is to auto ellipsis at the end of a long text. This functionality can be extended so that the user can choose where to auto-ellipsis the text: at the beginning, at the center, at the end, .etc.

Hi All.

Could you please add or let me know locators for "RadChat" window for Automation purpose. I am unable to find locators on the below area.

 

Currently the extension in Visual Studio has VB templates only for the classic .NET Framework.
