Instrumentation Widgets Professional Edition

Instrumentation Widgets is a library of meters, indicators, scales, sliders, gauges, knobs, buttons, dials, tanks, thermometers, switches, matrixes, LEDs, and other .NET instrumentation controls that emulate hardware devices. The use of elements from the product collection allows the creation of Computer-Assisted Training, and Human-Engineered Interfaces with unique appearances as all the element properties can be easily changed. Custom control settings including sizing, coloring, and freedom from restrictive bitmap controls that limit your form design, allow a developer to design .NET applications with advanced user interfaces. All controls use double buffering to produce smooth animation and avoid flickering. Create professional-looking device emulators for designing computer simulators or software interfaces.
