Controls

As an universal presentation framework, a rich and complete library of standard controls is necessary to support user interface (UI) development

1. Control Library

UPF standard controls can be logically grouped into several categories :

Basic elements

Button, CheckBox, Frame, Image, Label, PasswordBox, ProgressBar, RadioButton, RepeatButton, ScrollBar, Separator, Slider, StatusBar, TextBlock, TextBox, ToolTip, ScrollViewer

Decorator

Border, GroupBox

Menu

Menu, ContextMenu, Popup, ToolBar

List selection

ComboBox, ListBox, ListView

Container with layout

Canvas, DockPanel, Expander, Grid, StackPanel, TreeView, TabControl

Utilities

PrintDialog, MessageBox, FileDialog

2. Control Customization

The extensibility of the UPF control model greatly reduces the need to create a new control. However, in certain cases you may still need to create a custom control such as domain components or third part product integration. The Custom Control is used to change the standard control appareance and behaviors and UserControl is used to create a new control.

3. Content Models

ItemsControl Content Model, ContentControl Content Model and Decorator Content Model
