#725 – Make Use of the Extended WPF Toolkit
January 2, 2013 1 Comment
There is a WPF Toolkit project on Codeplex, authored by Microsoft, that includes a bunch of controls not available in the standard distribution. But this project has been dormant since early 2010.
There is a more actively maintained WPF toolkit on Codeplex, the Extended WPF Toolkit (Community Edition). This project was created by Xceed, as a community version of their more complete Extended WPF Toolkit Plus product. The Plus version of the toolkit sells for a very reasonable $179.95. But you can start by looking at the Community edition, which includes a big selection of controls.
Some of the controls in this project include:
- IntegerUpDown
- ColorSpectrumSlider
- ColorCanvas
- SingleUpDown
- Pie
- Selector
- ZoomBox
- CollectionEditorDialog
- DateTimeUpDown
- DateTimePicker
- AutoSelectTextBox
- DecimalUpDown
- CheckListBox
- and many more
Go take a look at the toolkit–it contains lots of great controls, as well as source code.
