Nevron User Interface for .NET Q4 2007 introduces:
Visual Studio 2008 Support
Q4 2007 release introduces compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5
In this release Nevron User Interface for .NET includes a powerful new control named NTreeList. The control is based on the NTreeViewEx and extends it by adding list-view functionality. This combination allows for complex data-related tasks like grouping, sorting, binding, etc. The control appearance and functionality is highly customizable. Following are the some of the major features of the control:
- Freezable list view columns - You can choose some columns to be displayed regardless how the user scrolls horizontally. This is feature is very useful when you need to make sure that important data is always displayed.
- Binding to a Data Table - This feature allows you to import the NTreeListData from a DataTable object, as well as to implement custom data import.
- Extensible row filtering - You can combine several types of predefined filters to selectively display rows in the list.
- Sorting - The controls allows you to sort by rows with the same tree depth as well as to sort recursively (that is sort the children of these nodes as well).
Nevron User Interface for .NET Q3 2007 introduces:
DataGridView (VS 2005 only)
The NDataGridView is an extended System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView control which modifies the appearance to match the Nevron one, adds custom scrollbars, column and row headers and features like additional predefined column which displays child relations in a drop-down manner.
TreeViewEx (VS 2005 only)
The NTreeViewEx is a completely custom control written from scratch in 100% C# code. Its main purpose is to eliminate most of the drawbacks of the standard tree-view which ships with Windows Forms while providing superior performance and memory optimisation. The control is capable of displaying 100 000+ nodes with ease and in the same time resizing remains instant. Following is a brief description of the control's main features:
- Simple and intuitive object model.
- Extremely fast and optimised. Can be resized instantly.
- Rich event model allowing for virtually any behavior to be overridden and/or extended.
- Completely customisable appearance based on visual states per tree-view or node basis. Complete adorners (boxes and lines) control.
- Rich texts per tree-view and node basis.
- Super tips and context menus per node basis.
- Checkbox support - standard and/or radio. Check style per tree-view and node basis. Smart check support - for example if a node's check state changes all ascendants and descendants are updated to reflect this change.
- Indicator - either on left or right edge. Predefined indicator images.
- Item drag-and-drop with rich visual feedback.
- XML persistency - the entire tree may be saved to and loaded from XML files.
- XML viewer - given a XML file the tree-view may populate its content in a human-readable manner.
- Scroll support - you have complete support over the scrolling behavior of the control.
