MarkEmbling.Forms.Controls

Just a few custom controls for Windows Forms that I've used in a couple of places.

This package is available on NuGet and currently targets .NET 4.7.2 and .NET 5.0.

It's probably better to look at a more modern solution for desktop apps going forward. However this is still maintained on an as-needed basis to service existing dependent Windows Forms projects.

Controls

• ClipboardAwareTextBox
  Inherits from TextBox and exposes events for clipboard events (cut/copy/paste).
• NativeStyleTreeView
  Extends TreeView and adds a property to toggle between the standard .NET TreeView appearance and the 'native' Explorer style appearance (updated expend/contract buttons and selection style)
• DragDropTreeView
  Extends the above NativeStyleTreeView control and adds the ability to re-order nodes via drag and drop. Remember to change the AllowDrop property to true to enable this.
• Gauge
  Gauge control based upon AGauge. Currently buggy when using 3D-style needles and there are more features to be implemented, but is usable.

Examples

A little Windows Forms app which demos some of the controls can be found in MarkEmbling.Forms.Controls.ExamplesNet472. It's not very comprehensive and targets .NET Framework 4.7.2 (you probably guessed that already).

Changes

Version 2.0.0

• Move from targeting .NET Framework 4.5 to .NET Framework 4.7.2.
• Update Gauge to render correctly in a high DPI environment.

Version 1.0.0

• Initial version of package. Effectively a continuation of the old MarkEmbling.Utils.Forms but with a slighty better name.
