Actipro WPF Shared Library is a common control library referenced by all of our WPF .NET controls.

It contains a number of very useful controls and components that can be used in WPF projects.

Features:

• Controls
  • An AnimatedExpander control, which supports animated expand/collapse with fade in/out.
  • An AnimatedProgressBar control, which is an enhanced Vista-like progressbar with smooth value change animations, multiple states, and animated highlights.
  • A CustomDrawElement element, which is an element that raises an event when it is being rendered, allowing for custom draw.
  • A DropShadowChrome decorator, which can be used to render a drop shadow for a popup.
  • A GlassWindow control, which makes it simple to extend Aero glass effects into the window client area when used in Vista.
  • A PixelSnapper decorator, which helps prevent image and border blurring in WPF.
  • A PopupButton control, which provides an implementation of a popup and split button that can display context menu popups or a popup containing any other WPF content.
  • A RadioButtonList control, which is a ListBox whose items render as radio buttons.
  • A ReflectionContentControl control, which is a content wrapper that makes it possible to create dazzling reflection effects in seconds.
  • A ResizableContentControl control, which is a content wrapper that contains a gripper for resizing the content horizontally, vertically, or both.
  • A ZeroSizeContentControl control, which is a content wrapper that can provide a zero-width or height during its measuring pass.
• Calendar
  • DateTimePicker and MonthCalendar controls that allow for selection and text entry of date/time values.
  • Helper classes and value converters for working with date/time values.
• Color Selection
  • Color selection controls that mimic the visual color selection found in products like Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Expression Blend:
    • SpectrumColorPicker – A color hue spectrum-based color picker that can display initial and selected colors.
    • SpectrumSlice – Displays a slice of saturation/brightness colors for a particular hue.
    • SpectrumSlider – Displays a hue spectrum.
• Data
  • Multiple value converter classes for doing everything from conditional (if…else) results to string formatting.
  • Data validation helpers.
• Document Management
  • Multiple classes for maintaining document references and tracking/persisting recently-used documents.
• Media
  • A UIColor structure that provides an enhanced representation of a Color object that supports the RGB, HSB, and HLS color models, conversion between models, and numerous other color helper methods.
  • A VisualTreeHelperExtended class that provides several helper methods for working with visual trees that are not found in the VisualTreeHelper class.
• Media Animation
  • A transition effects library for performing transitions between two elements, with built-in transitions and the ability to create custom ones.
  • Built-in transitions include:
    • Barn door wipe – A wipe transition between two pages that uses two straight bars with a configurable gradient spread.
    • Bar wipe – A wipe transition between two pages that uses a straight bar with a configurable gradient spread.
    • Box wipe – A wipe transition between two pages that uses a box.
    • Fade – The old selected page fades into the new one with optional blur effect.
    • Faded zoom – A crossfade transition between two elements that zooms the new content in as well.
    • Four box wipe – A wipe transition between two pages that uses four boxes.
    • Slide – A slide transition between two pages that moves one page over the other.
    • Push – A slide transition between two pages that pushes one page out of the way for the other.
    • Wedge wipe – A wipe transition between two pages that uses a wedge shape.
• Serialization
  • A helper class for serializing objects to and deserializing directly from XAML.
  • A framework for easily serializing a hierarchy of objects to XML, and later restoring it.
• Themes
  • An entire themes management framework that makes it simple to register themes for control groups and swap them in and out at run-time.
  • Facilities for tinting sets of brushes and pens in resource dictionaries towards any color.
• Multiple other collection and special event argument types.
