Windows Vista Controls for .NET 2.0 - v1.3 Release
"...
The source code is in C#. Currently, the controls use the native APIs available on Windows Vista. The controls have not yet been tested on earlier versions of Windows and do not provide non-native fallback alternatives (they will most likely crash on earlier versions of Vista). A simple interface for checking OS support is available: it is however up to the user to provide UI alternatives for older Windows platforms or for Mono.
What's in this release
Controls
- ShieldButton
- ComboBox with cue banner
- CommandLink
- ListView
- ProgressBar
- TextBox with cue banner
- TreeView
- ThemedText label (Text on glass effect)
- SplitButton
Modules
- DWM module (Live thumbnails and glass sheet effect)
- ThemedText module
- Task Dialog module (alternative to classic Message boxes)
Support
- OS support (checks if Vista libraries are supported)
- Glass sheet helpers
..."
This is a cool suite of controls for your Vista running .Net application.
when i drag the vistacontrols.dll into my vb 2010 express window and place any control on the form, i get an error saying that the control is not defined? well it'll be great if you can tell what's wrong. i really liked the excellent work in the included app of the zip file.
