Currently the Windows 11 theme for Telerik WPF features the ability to switch backdrop material to Acrylic, Mica and None, but what it's missing the Mica ALT material.
Because of the substantial difference from the normal Mica material, and the ability it gives to create more modern looking applications we think that the addition of this backdrop material would greatly benefit an already very good looking theme!
Currently PropertyDefinitions have only one Property for DataBinding, which is very strange solution.
All these instances are DependencyObject, but at the same time they are not in the visual tree and we could not bind to a visibility or to readonly or to any other property without some starnge sorkarounds (why this was designed in this way?).
This makes these objects almost useless. becuae we cannot fully use them in an MVVM way (bindings, multiibindings, etc.)
Possible solutions:
- provide bindings for all properties to make them be bindable withput any workarounds
- Change PropertyDefinitions to something that will live inside visual tree.
Hi, we have many documents (drawings) and these documents are full of stamps. Unfortunately the pdfviewer does not show them.
I am only asking for rendering stamps properly, not creating or modifying. I want to see the stamps. I also see that some stamps are rendered, not all, but some and they are displayed off the document. as if they were rotated 90deg. If no support is added, at least correct the position they are displayed at.
I have attached two pictures, one opened in Adobe and one with the viewer in my app.
Please consider at least fixing the display, even if no support for stamps is provided. Just display it correctly. By the way the stamps have not been flattened. that is intentional.
Thanks,
Enable the customers to create and modify .pptx (PowerPoint) files . They need processing as well as showing such documents.
Create NuGet symbol packages - containing the .pdb files - corresponding to the primary NuGet packages. The process is described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/create-packages/symbol-packages . This will facilitate the debugging of problems in the controls code.
Hi
I would like to know if Progress Telerik has some plan to port their WPF controls to Avalonia (avaloniaui.net).
Thanks

It is possible for a user to type a value into a RadNumericUpDown control that is greater than the maximum (or smaller than the minimum).
If the control loses focus the value reverts to the maximum value, but in my use case the user will be clicking the OK button on a Window, and this happens while the NumericUpDown still displays the out of range value that was typed. In other words the user doesn't realise that their value was silently rejected behind the scenes.
To solve this I had to raise a support request with you guys, which meant waiting until the next day for a resolution. This cost me time and it also added to your workload.
Whereas if the control had the option to limit the user input to the bounds of minimum and maximum it would have saved me about half a days work to raise a support request and write my own solution to the problem.
I see this has been raised a couple of times in the forums:
https://www.telerik.com/forums/prevent-user-from-typing-beyond-maximum-value
https://www.telerik.com/forums/radnumericupdown-lets-you-type-beyond-its-maximum-value
And the consensus seems to be that it is "By Design".
Please can you re-consider changing this as it is these small niggles that often cost us the most time when developing with 3rd party controls.
TIA
Use Case
our users have the possibility to save and load their own RadGridView filter settings.
One user want to get all entries where the value of the property \ column "CreateionDateUtc" is older than 90 days.
Problem
Currently you can only configure Is Less Than "Fixed Date". That means you have to change the "Fixed Date" every day to get the required result.
Is there a possibility to add a filter to the DateTime Column for example Less than 90 Days?
Possible Solution
Possibility to add a Time Difference Filter
- Base (Datetime.Now, Datetime.UtcNow,.....)
- Unit (second, minutes, day, month, years,....)
- Count
If there is a control, it should also display the SVG contents.
We can add a new control similar to the ToolbarForm control from the Telerik UI for WinForms:
The System.Drawing.Common package is installed in the project that builds Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll for .NET Core 3.1 Core, .NET 5 and .NET 6. The current package version is 4.7.0.
Update the package to the latest available version.
I just completed an evaluation of the RadPdfProcessing library for our medical practices. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to use this library for our application. We need to be able to annotate patient visit reports when visit notes require amendments or when we appeal billing decisions. We do this frequently and we need a way to automate this tedious and time consuming process. While the vision for the RadPdfViewer (ref. Unifying the Power of PdfViewer & PdfProcessing: Edit a PDF with our Newest Secret (6/12/2020)) was promising, there are still some issues for us. Following is a list of areas where we would like to see improvements:
1. We need the ability to add notes (like when editing is enabled in the AddDocumentContent_WPF sample application). But also be able to control font, font size, bolding, underlining, and highlighting and text color. Also we need to be able to go back and edit text and text formatting after new text is added and the text editing window closes. This is not yet possible. Ideally, this text also needs to allow multiple text fragments (Run's) where each text fragment can have its own formatting (bolding, color, etc.).
2. Each note needs to be in an optional bubble or box with an optional line or arrow to the highlighted (or strike-through) text in the original document. It would also be helpful if the bubble could be reshaped and moved to a more optimum location while maintaining the connecting line to the associated highlighted text. Automatically positioning the bubble when it is first created in adjacent white space is also desired.
4. We would like the above functionality to be implemented via a right click context menu for selected text in the original document. A command like "strike-through text and open note would be ideal".
5. If possible we also would like to pre-edit a pdf file as a RadFixedDocument and perform some or all of the above operations before the document is displayed in the RadPdfViewer. To do this we will need to be able to search for text in a given location in the pdf, select that text and then perform the desired operations (described above in 3. and 4.). This is needed for a majority of the changes that we need to make, that is, in sections of the document that we know from experience always require the same annotations. We see this functionality being integrated with AI enabled processes that are able to find and prepare billing appeals and assist with patient record amendments.

Here's an idea for you, one which I haven't fully thought through but which I will post here in case it proves useful.
For my use case we am required to build the Telerik UI for WPF binaries from the source code. This is because we offer our product as a trial version which requires the source files to be protected.
Building the source takes a bit of time whenever there is a new version and we have to remember to copy and replace the modified source protection files before we build the binaries.
My suggestion would be to move the file protection code into a single separate class library (DLL) and provide the source code that can be modified by the end user and rebuilt into the file protection DLL.
Then rather than having to rebuild the entire source code from scratch whenever there is a new version, we could just use the installer to install the new binaries and just replace the FileProtection.dll file.
That way when there is a new version of UI for WPF (or whatever product) we could quickly update to it and then when we build our product installer we just copy the modified FileProtection.dll to be bundled alongside the Telerik binaries.
As I said I haven't thought this through all the way and there may be excellent reasons why you are unable to do this, but I thought I'd share the idea.

Telerik assemblies needs to be rebuild with a specific key in some redistribution scenarios, so that the assemblies can be bound only to a single WPF application. This is described in the following article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/licensing/protecting-telerik-assembly
Currently, to protect the dlls you need to rebuild the entire source code of Telerik UI for WPF. Sometimes this is not very convenient and it is prompt to errors because several steps should be followed and also few prerequisites should be met.
Consider providing a new mechanism to protect the Telerik assemblies, which is more convenient and gives better protection.
Well, its getting traction, v11 is coming out, there is ever increasing list of public projects, https://avaloniaui.net/Showcase, plus countless WPF inhouse migrations like the ones we do. Serious money is already being involved, there are already many teams who would rather pay you for controls than waste their own cycles repeatedly making functionality.
WPF is indeed dying, .net foundation is treating it like a leprous uncle, Avalonia is literally getting more love from some foundation projects than WPF does, some wpf libraries are still targeting net5 with no intention to update them. MS wants you to migrate away from it to MAUI (after failing to get us to migrate to UWP) and it lacks cross platform support which neither of MS replacements like MAUI offer, and MS has a big influence over what they do. Chances of that succeeding are very slim, as big as they were for UWP. Even barring the lack of Linux support, WPF has this pre-mortem smell that Silverlight had, people stick to WPF becuase there really is no roadmap that will retain full functionality.
Chicken and the egg debate is losing its appeal, we are presently even willing to sacrifice some functionality to get away from WPF before it sinks.
The writing is on the wall, there is a clear and present need for quality commercial 3rd party controls for Avalonia, from the paying customers. I understand there is work to port the styling in WPF controls and to remove any windows P/I dependencies you might have. But whoever of you largest control makers steps on the market first and opens the flood gates, will get the first revenue and a foot in the porting of larger WPF projects, and certainly the inertia going forward. I am posting this to each of you.
Time to wake up. "Wake up and smell the ashes" :)
