WinRT XAML Controls Description
Customizing applications can be performed in many ways, and is one of the key aspects of producing economically viable programs.
Employing ready-built libraries is one way to tackle the issue and WinRT XAML Controls provides WinRT developers with the means to create novel programs that sacrifice no power to obtain an elegant design.
The toolkit consists of several packages, each targeting a specific area of software development.
As such, one can find “Bar Codes”, “Charts”, “Editors”, “Micro Charts”, “SyntaxEditor”, “Views”, and “Shared Library” modules.
As one can see, these components deal with different areas of development, and can improve an application both aesthetically and with regard to its functionality.
The “Bar Codes” component can be employed to generate various bar codes using all the common symbologies, including Codabar, QR codes, and EAN-8. All the graphical elements are generated using vector-based drawings.
“Actipro Charts” allows developers to provide rich and original visual representations of various statistical data.
All the standard diagram elements are available and supported chart types include line and pie graphs, as well as scatter plots.
Several tools come with the “Actipro Editors” library, including input controls for dates, numbers, colors, and sizes.
Each element features unique handles and the design is tailor-made for its intended purpose.
Creating miniature quantitative charts is performed with the “Micro Charts” toolkit, a module that contains several common line and bar charts.
Developers will also appreciate the “SyntaxEditor”, a code editing control that includes syntax highlighting, numbered lines, and several built-in code parsers.
The tool supports several languages, including C#, VB, and XML and custom definitions can be imported with ease.
Finally, the “Views” and the “Shared Library” modules are used for streamlining users’ experience and inserting common, shared elements in applications, respectively.
The former item can be employed to add scheduling functions into new programs, while shared libraries make it easy to import radial sliders, panels, value converters and other such common modules into applications.
Each toolkit is thoroughly detailed in the included manual and an active online community ensures newcomers will find it easy to adapt the libraries to their ideas.
