NetAdvantage WinClient - WPF

xamTilesControl - NEW! - Animated, interactive layout container derived from the ItemsControl consisting of collapsible tiles that your users can slide and move around, such as when you want to present them with a faceted user interface.

• Tiles can be dragged to slide them to a new location (with all other tiles moving out of the way to make space as your user is dragging the tile), or once your user drags the tile to its final destination, it can swap positions with the tile at that position.
• Tiles can have an orientation, so that when oriented vertically the tile can be collapsed to a minimal width thereby reclaiming space in the user interface.
• Tiles can layout in conformance with a minimum or maximum number of rows / columns that you specify.
• Maximized mode allows you to specify that some number (N) of tiles will appear maximized at a given time.  As the user browses through the tiles, N tiles will maximize themselves in a FIFO manner.
• Spacing between tiles (horizontal, vertical spacing, etc.) and alignment can be easily adjusted, plus you can define a padding around all tiles.
• As tiles are activated and moved, you can apply lively Transforms to give their movement a more dynamic look and feel.
• Tile close action lets you do nothing, or collapse a tile, when the user closes a tile.
• Save and load layouts, allowing you to instantly restore a personalized layout that an end user may have been working with previously.
• Expand/collapse a tile to just its header, where this header can be customized by a template for the maximized, normal and minimized/expanded, minimized/maximized states.

xamDataCards - NEW!

• New data card view to present all kinds of data in a high-fidelity, faceted user interface of cards.
• Has many of the same animated, interactive layout functionality as the xamTilesControl such as dragging, spacing, padding, rows and columns, and more; optimized for presenting ready-made data cards.
• Has many of the same data-oriented features as the xamDataGrid such as selection, add new record card, etc.
• Your data card consists of a primary field which appears in the data card’s header, and then an additional number of fields which you can display within the data card itself.
• You can have an increased size for the active data card, and apply a transform to it as it becomes the active data card.
• Users can drag field labels from one place to another, and immediately the layouts of their data cards will change.
• Auto-Fit mode available to make data cards fit within the available horizontal and vertical extents, set through ViewSettings.
• Resizing a form containing xamDataCards will reposition all data cards dynamically.  Each data card can be dynamically resized, and constraints can enforce minimum and maximum sizes.
• Empty cells can be collapsed, which when combined with the space-saving features of xamTilesControl, allows you to make efficient use of your user’s screen real estate.

xamDataPresenter – Enhanced - New CardView added to xamDataPresenter so that it can present data just like the new xamDataCards control, giving xamDataPresenter three presentation formats:

• CardView (newly added)
• CarouselView
• GridView

xamEditors - Enhanced

• Spin Buttons have been added to the xamWebMaskedEditor
• Spin Increment property (which matches the value type of the editor) added to allow the spin buttons on all editors to adjust their values by a delta > 1.
• Commands added for Spin Increment and Spin Decrement so that you can route commands to one of the xamEditors from an external stimulus (e.g., a Button clicked outside of the editor control) and affect a spin increment or decrement just the same as if the user had pressed one of the spin buttons.

xamDockManager - Enhanced

• Now you can use the dock manager without specifying any content, and have the innermost visible, docked SplitPane in the Panes collection fill the available area by setting LayoutStyle → FillContainer.  You can also visually distinguish this pane because it will have the attached property, SplitPane.IsInFillPane = True.
• You can prevent an unpinned flyout from appearing when the mouse is positioned over, or mouses over, an unpinned tab item now by setting UnpinnedTabHoverAction → None.
• You can control the size and position of the new floating window when an end user drags a docked pane into a floating position.  Size and Location properties on FloatPaneAction and MovePaneAction.NewLocation are now writeable.
• You can customize the list of items that are displayed when clicking on the files menu of the tab group in the document content host by adding or removing menu items during the new FileMenuOpening routed event Infragistics added to  the TabGroupPane.
• You can hide buttons in the header of a content pane more easily (without having to re-template the elements) with 3 new properties on the ContentPane:  CloseButtonVisibility, PinButtonVisibility and WindowPositionMenuVisibility.

NetAdvantage for Win Client is a true framework, not just a collection of disparate controls. Infragistics labored hard before writing a line of code to devise a mature architecture based on shared assemblies and common object models. This creates what Infragistics refer to as leveraged learning, meaning the effort to learn the first of the interface elements lets you learn the rest much easier. It also makes it easier to create standardized interfaces for your applications and even create your own elements by extending and inheriting visual elements from Infragistics Presentation Layer Framework. Its a primary reason for corporations to standardize all their development teams on NetAdvantage for Win Client.

Infragistics NetAdvantage for Win Client includes the full .NET source code.

Priority Support: One years worth of priority phone and guaranteed response web-based technical support.

Subscription Service - This service is a convenient way to ensure customers are always using the latest versions of Infragistics components. Subscription Service entitles Program members to automatically receive all major upgrades (full version releases), new products included in the covered Suite, and minor updates (enhancements and service patches) for the period of one year. Because Infragistics development team is committed to keeping in step with new technology, the Subscription Service is the best way to ensure your applications are compatible with even the most recent changes in technology.
