Benefits

Dazzling, previously impossible, WPF-like Visual Effects

Inspired by WPF, the RadControls for WinForms support the latest visuals including transparency, rotation, animation and transition effects. The suite showcases the magnitude that can be achieved with GDI+ and Telerik Windows Forms. Enjoy rich and powerful UI support.

Theme Support

All RadControls for WinForms come with full Theme support – you can use any of the provided themes, or build new ones from scratch to fit your exact scenario. Themes can be applied across all controls built on the Telerik Presentation Framework.

Unique Architecture, Inspired by WPF

The Telerik Presentation Framework provides a completely customisable architecture for the controls in the suite by following WPF best practices. The Framework and its tools supply attractive and functional defaults for the Telerik RadControls, while simultaneously allowing developers to exercise very fine-grained, CSS-like control over every aspect of their appearance and behavior.

Unlimited Nesting of UI Elements

The uniform nature of the control architecture makes it possible to nest controls within each other for more flexible and modern user interfaces, unseen before.

WPF-like Effects in Classic Windows Forms

While RadControls for WinForms allow stunning visual effects, there is no learning curve involved to using them because they come with the well-familiar technology of classic Windows Forms. They just look better!

Ideal Choice for Enterprise Line of Business Applications

RadControls for WinForms is a powerful set of controls for business applications that works beautifully in the most demanding scenarios.
