Multiple Layout Types
Offers flow, grid, and split layouts for arranging UI elements. Flow layout arranges containers horizontally or vertically with wrap options; grid layout arranges items in configurable rows and columns supporting cell merging; split layout uses resizable panels separated by splitter bars.
Dynamic Container Management
Each dashboard element is enclosed in a child container which can be resized, repositioned, maximized, or restored at runtime for flexible workspace adaptation. Containers automatically adjust to layout rules when moved or resized.
Resizing Behavior
Resizing containers dynamically rearranges other elements depending on the active layout. In flow layout, items flow naturally with the resized container; grid layout adjusts spanning columns or rows; split layout allows resizing panels using splitter bars with minimum and maximum size constraints.
Drag and Drop Support
Users can intuitively drag child containers to new positions on the dashboard, with automatic rearrangement of other containers following the layout rules.
Customizable Headers and Actions
Each container header supports custom actions such as maximize, hide, reorder, and adding custom icons and buttons, providing control over dashboard elements.
Save and Load Layouts
Dashboard layouts can be serialized to and deserialized from XML files, enabling persistence of user workspace configurations between application sessions.
Integration with Existing Layouts
Existing WinForms containers like C1SplitContainer, FlowLayoutPanel, or TableLayoutPanel can be converted into dashboard layouts with minimal code.
Extensive API and Event Support
Provides classes and events to handle layout customization, container actions, header painting, and synchronization, allowing developers to fully control and extend dashboard behavior.
Styling and Theming
Supports comprehensive styling options and integration with several professional WinForms themes.
Flow Layout Direction and Wrapping
Flow layout supports specifying the direction of flow (left-to-right, top-down, right-to-left, bottom-up) and options to wrap or not wrap content, controlling how child containers are arranged responsively.
