NetAdvantage for Windows Forms includes controls that take care of presenting data in grids, charts, gauges, tabs, trees, calendars; entering data in numeric, monetary, masked, date/time or text format; navigating with menus, toolbars (quick access or rebar), ribbons, explorer bars, or list views; working with data sets, data views, data that must be loaded on demand, business object data, or XML with or without a schema; handling windowing, printing and export to popular formats like XLS (Excel), PDF and XPS.
A few of the more hard to find controls that are included in NetAdvantage for Windows Forms, but seldom offered elsewhere:
* WinNavigationBar presents users with a breadcrumb navigation experience like that in the Vista address bar.
* WinDesktopAlert for displaying IM-like pop-up windows on the desktop to notify users about an event in your application.
* WinCalcManager for performing over 100 built-in (and extensible) spreadsheet engine calculations.
* WinPrintPreview controls for previewing documents for print or browsing pages by thumbnail.
* WinInkProvider makes your TabletPC applications “pen perfect” with our controls adding in-place editing, masked editing and gesture support.
You receive these controls and dozens more – every control you’d expect to need to build professional, dynamic Windows Forms applications with little effort. There is a hierarchical (master-detail) data grid with add, edit, delete, multi-column sorting, grouping, filtering, fixed columns, and tons more features. The charting control renders hi-resolution 2D/3D charts with over 50 different chart types that you can combine, customize, overlay and extend. An assortment of scheduling controls display activities by the hour, day, week or month for one or multiple resources at a time. Controls conform to U.S. Section 508 requirements for accessibility in desktop applications and a comprehensive Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is available online.
Infragistics has built all of this on top of its PLF and Application Styling Frameworks, which means every control gives you granular authority to manipulate and tailor its UI elements, then when you have your application setup just the way you like, you can skin the entire thing with any of an assortment of professionally designed Style Libraries that present consistent corporate themes or simulate popular appearances like Microsoft Windows XP (“Luna”) or the Microsoft Office 2007 ribbon.
Vista-styling enhancements allow your Windows Forms applications to adopt the look and consistency of the modern Vista veneer with little to no code. For example, with one property setting the WinTree control can replicate the appearance and behaviour of the Vista Explorer tree view. You need no specialised knowledge of working with the sophisticated Vista colour scheme.
NetAdvantage for Windows Forms controls are also designed to work with their TestAdvantage for Windows Forms (for HP QuickTest Professional) product that is sold separately. As a .NET extensibility add-in to HP QuickTest Professional 8.2, 9.0 and later, the fusion of NetAdvantage and TestAdvantage provide unparalleled integration with a first-class testing environment enabling you to perform automated UI testing that reduces your costs, improves your quality, and helps you to have a confident, on-schedule release.
During your 12-month subscription to NetAdvantage for Windows Forms you will have access to all regular updates, three feature-packed volume releases, a highly-skilled team of developer support personnel when you have a technical, code-level question about the controls, and complete C# source code to all of the controls and designers.
