Activez l’annotation PDF dans les applications WinForms

Décembre 19, 2025
Les lecteurs PDF avec outils d’annotation intégrés permettent aux utilisateurs de relire, commenter et collaborer sur les documents sans modifier le contenu original.

PDF annotation in .NET WinForms PDF viewer components refers to the ability to add visual and textual markup directly onto PDF documents without altering the original content. These tools allow users to draw shapes, highlight text, insert comments, and place notes within the viewing interface, supporting workflows such as document review, feedback, and approval. This functionality improves collaboration and clarity in document handling, making it well-suited for document processing tasks in WinForms applications.

Common features include:

  • Freehand Draw (Ink Annotation) allows users to sketch, underline, or handwrite directly on the page using a mouse, stylus, or touch input, making it ideal for markups and signatures.
  • Lines provide a simple way to connect points or emphasize linear elements within a document, often with configurable thickness, color, and opacity.
  • Rectangles enable users to highlight or frame areas of interest, supporting both outlined and filled styles for visual emphasis.
  • Ellipses offer a similar highlighting function to rectangles but with a rounded shape, useful for circling content or marking irregular regions.
  • Arrows are commonly used to direct attention to specific content, combining line styling with arrowheads to clearly indicate focus or flow.
  • Sticky Note annotations allow users to attach comments to precise locations in the document, typically displayed as icons that reveal text on interaction.
  • Free Text enables direct placement of typed text onto the page with control over font, size, color, and alignment, supporting clear, visible commentary without pop-ups.

Décembre 19, 2025
ComponentOne Studio Enterprise 2025 v2 améliore FlexGrid pour WinUI avec une mise en forme conditionnelle, une validation, des barres de données et un encapsulement de mots.

ComponentOne Studio Enterprise is a comprehensive suite of .NET UI controls developed by MESCIUS (formerly GrapeCity) designed for building rich, interactive desktop, web, and mobile applications. It provides developers with a broad range of tools and components-including data grids, charts, reports, input controls, and advanced data visualization features-for platforms such as WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, WinUI, and .NET MAUI. The suite emphasizes performance, flexibility, and ease of integration, helping teams create consistent, feature-rich user experiences across multiple application types while maintaining a unified development approach.

The ComponentOne Studio Enterprise 2025 v2 update adds a conditional formatting rules engine to FlexGrid for WinUI. This enables validation-driven formatting and data bars, allowing developers to highlight invalid values, enforce input consistency, and make comparisons directly within the grid. The update also introduces word-wrapped column headers, improving readability for longer labels and supporting more compact, maintainable layouts.

To see a full list of what's new in 2025 v2, see our release notes.

ComponentOne Studio Enterprise is licensed per developer on a perpetual basis and includes a 12 month subscription. Priority Support is also available. See our ComponentOne Studio Enterprise licensing page for full details.

Modifiez facilement les images directement dans les applications de données WPF

Décembre 19, 2025
Activez l’édition d’image dans l’application pour WPF avec annotation, recadrage, transformations, zoom, annulation et rétablir, ainsi que les importations et exportations simples.

Image editing in a data editor component helps users work with images alongside other data fields. This includes basic functions like cropping, rotating, resizing, and adding annotations. It's useful for tasks such as cleaning up user-uploaded files, adjusting product photos, or marking up visual references—all without switching to another application. This keeps image handling part of the same process as your data updates.

Several .NET data editor collections provide an image editor, including:

  • DevExpress WPF Data Editors (part of DevExpress WPF) lets you embed image editing within forms, enabling cropping, annotation and validation.
  • Telerik UI for WPF Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for WPF) allows you to integrate image modification tools into business apps, supporting annotations and transformations.
  • Syncfusion WPF Data Editors (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) facilitates image editing in data driven interfaces, enabling adjustments and visual annotations.
