We’ve just released a new build of WPF Studio 2010.1 that has these major updates:
- Evaluation period extended to 30 days
- Added new CountryComboBox and CurrencyComboBox controls to Editors for WPF, and two new QuickStarts.
- Added styles for native ComboBox and TextBox controls to Editors for WPF, and a new QuickStart.
- Added sample language projects/definitions for the C, C++, and RTF languages to SyntaxEditor for WPF.
- Improved the SyntaxEditor for WPF completion list item measuring speed by about 400%.
- Made numerous minor tweaks and bug fixes throughout the WPF products.
Let’s walk through some of the new controls and features…
The CountryComboBox control
The new CountryComboBox is a themed ComboBox control that is pre-populated with a list of the ISO countries.
We include a new Country class that indicates the name and two-letter ISO code for each country. We populate the CountryComboBox with data for all the current countries in the world. All you have to do is drop the control on your Window and it’s ready for immediate use, completely pre-populated.
The CurrencyComboBox control
The new CurrencyComboBox is also a themed ComboBox control that is pre-populated with all world currencies.
We include a new Currency class that indicates the name, three-letter code, and symbol (if known) for each currency. Again we populate the CurrencyComboBox with data for all the current currencies in the world.
ComboBox and TextBox styles
We’ve added styles for the native WPF ComboBox and TextBox controls in Editors for WPF. These optional styles can give your controls the Office look (when used in an Office theme) or any other system theme.
The CountryComboBox and CurrencyComboBox both use the new styles.
New free SyntaxEditor language samples
We’ve had several requests in the past for C, C++, and RTF (rich-text format) languages so we’ve added them to our free language samples.
They will also appear in the next maintenance release of SyntaxEditor for WinForms.
Summary
While we are continuing to plug along with finishing off the first Silverlight Studio beta, we have also been adding value to our WPF products with the new controls and features mentions above. Details on the Silverlight products will be posted soon.
