Menu items can be displayed in either horizontal or vertical layout modes. The control has four built-in themes to enhance its look and feel.
  • Dialog Control - The Dialog control implements a modal dialog box-like window inside which any HTML content can be placed, including form content, messages, images, and text. Dialog boxes can be dragged within a browser, and feature four built-in themes that enhance their look and feel.
  • ProgressBar Control - The ProgressBar control allows you to graphically represent the progress of an ongoing process. Because it is a client-side control, information can be loaded quickly. The control’s orientation, dimensions, and text are customizable, and it features four built-in skins that enhance its look and feel.

Essential Gauge for ASP.NET

  • HTML 5-Based Gauge Control - A gauge is a data visualization control that can be used to display several data points or data ranges in a concise and compact area. Linear gauges measure values of scales and represent them in the form of a slider along a linear scale, similar to a thermometer.

Essential Chart for ASP.NET MVC

  • Essential Chart with HTML 5 - Essential Chart with HTML 5 is a lightweight, canvas-based chart control that utilizes HTML 5 to implement a very high performance and interactive chart control.
  • Localization Support - The user interface of a chart can be customized so that it is locale-specific.

Essential Diagram for ASP.NET MVC

  • Persistence Support for Diagrams - This feature allows users to persist the skeleton and common feature-related properties of a diagram in an .xml file. This feature only includes platform-independent data for nodes and their properties (size, position, etc.), not platform-specific contents. This feature also supports basic controls such as buttons, images, and text boxes.
  • Multiple Selection - This feature allows you to select multiple diagram nodes and line connectors at the same time, using multiple selectors. You can then move, resize, or delete the nodes and connectors you have selected
  • Z-Order Commands - The ordering commands allow you to change the z-order (order of objects along the Z-axis) value of the selected objects (nodes and connectors) on the page. The objects can be made to go back on the axis, or front so that they get displayed over other objects in case two or more objects overlap.
  • Adding Custom Shapes - This feature allows you to add your own custom shapes as nodes to the diagram page or as a shape to the symbol palette. You can also drag the custom shapes from the symbol palette to the diagram page.

Essential Chart for WPF

  • TimeLine Control - The TimeLine control can be used to view specific time frames in a chart by allowing users to select a range of data. It can be integrated with other controls like Essential Chart, Essential Grid, and Essential Gantt for selecting and viewing data that falls inside a specific time frame. It has a rich UI for users to interact with.

Essential Gantt for Silverlight

  • Baseline Table View Support - This feature is used to display the variance between a baseline and the current progress of a task in the table view of a Gantt chart. This column is added dynamically when the user chooses to view the variance of the progress.
  • Filter and Sort the Task List - This feature allows users to sort and filter tasks in the grid view of a Gantt chart. Data can be sorted or filtered in alphabetical order.
  • Virtualization - Virtualization support has been added to improve the performance of Essential Gantt.

Essential Spreadsheet for Silverlight

  • Center across Selection Alignment Support - This feature groups the text between two cells, similar to merged cells in Excel, to be aligned at the center to form one single cell.
  • Document Settings - Users are now able to edit spreadsheet options such as author, tags, category, and more.
  • Advanced Encryption and Decryption - Using a password, users are able to encrypt and decrypt spreadsheets for the sake of privacy.
  • PDF Export - Users are now able to export spreadsheet contents to PDF.
  • Text Wrap Support - Users are now able to wrap text in a cell if they choose.

Essential Tools for Windows Phone

  • Jumplists - This control allows users to jump to a specific category in a list instead of having to scroll through the body of it. For example, when you want to select a contact, you can jump to contacts starting with specific letters.  Jump buttons will be enabled or disabled based on the item’s availability.
  • Range Slider Control - Using this control you can set a price range to select products, or specify a time range to filter sale reports for a specific period of time. You can set the range by dragging the thumb or clicking on the slider bar. You can orient the slider vertical or horizontal as needed. You can also customize the appearance of the slider.
  • Toolbar Control - The toolbar control common in desktop apps is now available for Windows Phone. A toolbar is a graphical presentation of frequently used commands optimized for efficient access.
  • Color Picker Control - A color picker control enables you to select a desired color from a predefined color palette. You can use this control to customize elements such as background, foreground, image border color, and so on. You can define the colors by editing the RGB or alpha values.
  • Timespan Picker Control - The Timespan Picker control enables you to provide the option to select a time span in your applications. Supported timespan elements include day, hour, minute, and second. You can customize the timespan format as needed.
  • ToolTip Control - This control allows you to display more information about a UI element. Since there is no mouse hover event in the phone environment, ToolTips are displayed on tap event.  You can customize the content and appearance of ToolTips.
  • Dialog Control - This control enables you to display modal or non-modal content in your applications. You can also use it to display alert or prompt dialogs.

Essential Maps for Windows Phone

  • Importing and Exporting Map Elements - Essential Maps for Windows Phone now supports saving and loading maps as .xml files for viewing at a later time, and exporting maps as images.
  • Path Support - This feature enables you to provide a street view in a map. You can add paths to a map by specifying the points, and add labels to those paths. While performing zoom and pan operations, paths will be automatically updated. You can customize the path style.
  • Virtualization - Virtualization renders only the visible portion of a map, thereby tremendously improving the rendering speed of the map while zooming and scrolling.
