Xceed Editors for .NET
-
Version
1.0
With Xceed Editors for .NET, you are just a couple of
mouse clicks away from creating unique and more
powerful UIs. When dropped onto a form, the controls
are automatically set up with the most common features
and functionalities ready to go. Using Xceed’s
convenient designers, just a few more mouse clicks let
you customize many aspects of these controls.
It eight ready-to-use base controls:
- buttons
- calendars / multi-month calendars
- check boxes
- combo boxes / multi-column combo boxes
- date pickers
- horizontal and vertical scrollbars
- panels
- textboxes / masked textboxes
With features such as the combo box control’s entirely
customizable multi-column support (provided by Xceed
Grid for .NET technology) and the calendar control’s
multi-month support, you have greater UI creation
possibilities, out-of-the-box.
The most striking feature of these controls is a high
degree of combinability: other Xceed editor controls
(in fact any .NET control) can be embedded within them
to create new ones. By using a WinPanel, any Windows
Forms control can dropdown any other control, allowing
for unlimited flexibility and innovation. So in
addition to getting features that surpass what VS.NET
offers, these controls can be combined to take your UI
even further.
Also included is the VB.NET and C# source code of
several sample composite controls. This is beneficial
for two reasons. First, you can copy the sample code
and use it for your own applications. Once this code
has been adapted and tweaked, you basically have 10
extra controls, bringing the total to 18. Second,
these supplemental composite controls show just how
easy it is to create controls of your own that are
unrivaled in the ways they let your end-users interact
with your software.
The flexibility of these controls doesn’t stop at
their combinability. The classes of Xceed Editors
for .NET can also be extended, so you can create your
own specialized controls that better meet the needs of
