Flash-like animations
With RadControls for WinForms you can achieve the latest visuals, following the recent Vista craze. Any numeric property value can be animated, thus offering the ultimate user experience. Inspired by WPF, the suite supports animation and transition effects and showcases the magnitude that can be achieved with GDI+ and Telerik Windows Forms.

Rotation and scaling
Apply free transformation to any graphical element with the help of the Visual Style Builder. Elements can be rotated, zoomed, and scaled depending on their state which gives you the ultimate WPF-like appearance.

Unique architecture, inspired by WPF
The Telerik Presentation Framework (TPF), the underlying architecture of all controls in the RadControls suite, provides a completely customizable 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 the developer to exercise very fine-grained, CSS-like control over every aspect of their appearance and behavior. The TPF defines a wide variety of useful abstractions and services that provide functionality to all Telerik RadControls.

Superior performance
The Framework is carefully crafted for high performance by minimizing the amount of repainting and layout rearrangement that needs to be done when constructing complex nested controls to the screen.
All controls in the suite are built from instances of the RadElement class and its descendants. All RadElement instances are automatically accessible to the powerful theming functionality built into the TPF, including the VisualStyleBuilder, saving and loading themes to XML files, and so on.

Composite UI Application Block Support
The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms provides seamless integration with the CAB and its underlying infrastructure. It is well suited for enterprise applications, and forces developers to use best practices and patterns.

The Telerik CAB Enabling Kit for WinForms offers more than 25 sophisticated components like GridView, TreeView, Calendar, Chart, and ComboBox, allowing development of enterprise smart client applications.

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. This unique feature of the Telerik Presentation Framework gives you the ability to provide the solution you have been searching for, without writing code or worrying about things going bad.

Granular customization of all elements
Telerik RadControls for WinForms provides designers with the ability to alter, at design time or run time, any property of any control. Because all Telerik controls are composed of primitives, this customization can be applied at a very fine level of detail. Changes in response to events can be animated, so that a property moves smoothly through a range of values in response to a mouse movement or other event. Property values (such as colors or fonts) can be inherited from parent elements to child elements, or override them at the child element level.

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