Actipro Editors for WPF

Actipro Editors for WPF is a control suite that implements several data entry controls for the Windows Presentation Foundation framework, including a masked textbox and parts-based editors. Each control has numerous options available and allows for a more intuitive/natural data entry. Actipro Editors for WPF's masked textbox can be used to restrict user input to a preconfigured regular expression mask, with support for alternations and quantifiers. Actipro Editors for WPF also includes parts-based editors that allow the various parts of an associated type to be modified individually, such as entering only the month part of a date. Several parts-based editors are provided for existing .Net types, including brushes, colors, and dates/times. Actipro Editors for WPF can also be bought as part of the Actipro WPF Studio.
