Can we have a floating Label on a RadComboBox and a RadMultiColumnComboBox, same as a WatermarkTextBox?

It is quite annoying to have on a same form a WatermarkTextBox and Combo boxes as they appearance are so different.

Can you please add the ability to select (and scroll into view) a file/folder in the RadFileDialog by keyboard? i.e. when focused within the files section of the dialog, typing 's' should scroll to the first file starting with 's' and select it.

All the Win32 and WPF file dialogs support this.

In the Shape Tool - Line Shape -> lock ratio, this currently constrains the lines to be diagonal.

IMHO it'd be a more common use case that users would want to constrain a line to be horizontal or vertical.

 

I would suggest changing the default behaviour of the ratio lock for line shapes to be horizontal/vertical and not diagonal.

You could leave the Ctrl key modifier to still constrain diagonally, but add a Shift key modifier so that holding shift constrains the line vertically / horizontally (this would coincide with Photoshop behaviour).

 

I know it's not a great idea to change behaviour on published code, so could consider adding a LockRatioMode property to the shape tool that defaults to Diagonal, and allow coders to set it to HorizontalVertical to implement the new behaviour.

Add a built-in API that can be invoked from the AzureMapProvider. The API should allow you to search for locations similar to the BingRestMapProvider's search location API.

Currently, the RadChartView component does not have a waterfall series similar to the one that is provided by the Telerik UI for WinForms. We could add support for this type of series.

The formatting is not applied to the second level when the grid is bound to two types of items.

What you have two separate RadDocking controls it should be possible to drag a Pane from the first control into the other one.

Add support for text orientation (rotation). This is supported in the SpreadProcessing model.

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,

Add support for successful typing text with IME - Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.
Currently there are input issues, selection issues, caret issues when using IME input.

Currently, when a RadAutoCompleteBox is placed in a ScrollViewer, the inner ScrollViewer of RadAutoCompleteBox prevents the parent one from scrolling via the mouse wheel.

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.

Its been two years since you were last asked for this, and you said when it gets traction. 

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" :)

I want to be able to specify the font family, size, etc. from XAML, not from code. 
Exactly the same as described here:
https://www.telerik.com/forums/implicit-styles-custom-font-and-font-size

(background: We are developing a UI Framework + resource dictionary for use in different applications. If each app will have to modify font sizes from code, inconsistencies are surely happen)

For a customer project we would like to be able to have the ability to add exceptions to the recurrencepattern of a scheduleview SpecialSlot.

This would be used for displaying different types of working hours which have a recurrence but on occasion also have a exception.

Could this feature be added?

Please add the Contour series for showing the scatter (X,Y) lines which are connecting the points with the equial Z- coordinate. Currently a scatter 3D surface (X,Y,Z)  can now be shown only as 3D chart.

Often it is necessary to show 3D surface as 2D chart with lines connecting (X,Y) points with "same Z-level" .

Samples:

• Geographic map showing the contour lines of the same height: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_line ,
• Map of the points with the same temperature inside the 3D container,
• ...

We are using RadRichText box along with HtmlDataProvider to create new para in specific notes- comments. As our application heavily relay on adding comments in html format when adding/ forwarding application to another user.

As a main control RadRichText box is working fine and dev team is recommending to use it in Production. But issue happens when we are rendering all comments as list associated to one application. Currently we have some application having more than 200 comments.

We used RadRichtext box to render HTML as readonly. but I impacted performance. Page take enough time to load contents. 

Currently we replaced RadRichText box with HtmlRenderer.WPF (HtmlPanel) control, which is much efficient compare to Telerik control. However HtmlPanel has its own limitation.

I wish if Telerik has such lightweight control to render HTML content in more efficient way, which does not effect application performance.
