Enable RTL Layout in Data Entry Interfaces

November 14, 2025
With built-in Right to Left (RTL) features, React data editors enable input and editing in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.

Right-to-left (RTL) support in a data editor component enables the user interface and content layout to be displayed in a direction consistent with languages that are read from right to left, such as Arabic or Hebrew. This includes aligning text, input fields, table structures, and control elements to the right side of the screen, while preserving correct data formatting and interaction behavior. For software developers, RTL support ensures that applications can be properly localized for RTL language audiences without compromising usability or data readability.

Several React data editors offer right to left (RTL) support including:

  • DevExtreme React Data Editors (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) supports right-to-left layouts which mirrors UI elements and adjusts directionality in editor controls.
  • KendoReact Data Editors by Telerik includes built-in RTL support, enabling components to render correctly for RTL languages and adapting their layout, messages and alignment.
  • Wijmo React Data Editors (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) provides RTL support allowing components to render correctly for RTL languages.
  • Syncfusion React Data Editors (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) supports RTL mode enabling full right-to-left rendering of UI elements and data-led controls.

Simplify UI Design with Themed Data Editors

November 7, 2025
Effortlessly personalize an application’s appearance with flexible themes, applying color schemes and fonts for a consistent, professional look.

Themes in data editors provide a simple and efficient way to customize the visual appearance of data editing controls, including elements such as color schemes, fonts, and overall styling. By applying themes, developers and designers can create a consistent and professional look across multiple components, ensuring that applications align with brand guidelines and deliver a polished user experience. This flexibility enhances readability and usability while improving the design process, allowing visual updates to be made globally without modifying individual controls. For example, a dark theme can improve focus in data-intensive dashboards, while a light and minimalist theme can enhance clarity in business forms or reporting tools. Overall, themed data editors help maintain design consistency, reduce development time, and elevate the overall aesthetic of modern applications.

Several .NET Blazor data editor collections offer support for themes including:

  • Telerik UI for Blazor Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for Blazor) lets you easily apply cohesive themes, adjusting colors and fonts for a consistent, professional interface.

Perform Inline Mathematical Operations

October 17, 2025
Integrate a dropdown calculator component into WPF applications to provide efficient, in-context numerical data entry without external tools.

Dropdown calculators are interactive user interface components that integrate a compact calculator directly into a standard dropdown control, allowing users to perform quick calculations or adjust numerical values without navigating away from the current input field. This interaction pattern is particularly useful in data-heavy applications where users frequently need to input or modify numerical data, such as e-commerce pricing, financial tools, form-based systems, or configuration panels. By integrating calculation capabilities directly into the dropdown, these components reduce the need for external tools, help maintain focus, and improve the overall speed and accuracy of user input.

Several WPF data editor collections offer a dropdown calculator, including:

  • DevExpress WPF Data Editors (part of DevExpress WPF) enables an embedded dropdown calculator, letting users compute and adjust numeric values inline during input.
  • Telerik UI for WPF Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for WPF) includes a dropdown button that launches a calculator panel, enabling real-time calculation and value updates.
  • Actipro Editors for WPF by Actipro Software allows the integration of a dropdown calculator interface for inline arithmetic while editing number-type values.
  • Xceed Toolkit Plus for WPF Data Editors (part of by Xceed Toolkit Plus for WPF by Xceed Software) features a dropdown calculator to support inline mathematical operations.
