Read the ClientUI overview and learn how it simplifies application development in both Silverlight and WPF.
Rich Silverlight and WPF development made easy with Intersoft ClientUI
The lacking of tooling support in Silverlight makes it very difficult for developers to build usable business Silverlight application. To address these challenges, we've built a set of rich UI components from the ground-up that incorporates the best-practice and standards in Silverlight control development. We're proud to make available nearly 70 components for your business applications need – from dropdowns, menus, toolbars, form controls, presenters, fluid drag-drop interface, to high-end innovative controls such as desktop, multiple windowing controls, modal windows, dock taskbar, and so much more! Sneak peek some interesting ClientUI controls and get insights for your next projects.
Unlike other toolsets, ClientUI is so much more beyond glassy UIs. It also ships with comprehensive application frameworks that match those in WPF such as full commanding support, complete routed event and input binding implementation. And together with MVVM-ready architecture such as DelegateCommand, HybridDelegateCommand and CommandReference, ClientUI offers an end-to-end solution for developers who wanted to build rich, cross-platform applications using today's popular MVVM pattern. Join Jimmy's latest blog post as he discussed how ClientUI can enable you to elegantly achieve interesting scenarios, such as showing a dialog box with loosely-coupled MVVM implementation.
At the same time, we're also launching a private beta program for selected customers, industry partners and Silverlight/WPF enthusiasts. For beta inquiry, please direct your email to beta@intersoftpt.com or call us at 310 914 0158.

The versatile WebListBox is enhanced with menu and navigation capability – making it the "one of a kind" list box with dual functionalities.

POPULATING WEBNAVPANE ITEM FROM DATABASE.

Despite its nature as a UI and navigation control without databound capability, this thread specifically highlights how you can populate WebNavPane's items from your database.
Ben Denison is inquiring about the possibility to have his SQL Server database attach to WebNavPane and Andi Santoso, one of our senior technical supports, outlines the best way to achieve this unique scenario.
The main idea is to create NavBar and NavBarItem objects during the server-side page load event and fill it with the information from your database. Click here to join their discussion.

CUSTOM CONTEXT MENU IN WEBTEXTEDITOR.

Christian Luckow has opened a very interesting thread about inserting a new, custom context menu item to WebTextEditor's context menu. You can view his discussion with Andi and Glenn here.
Although Christian is inserting a custom context menu for a specific purpose, the pure client-side solution given by Glenn is applicable to any conditions requiring you to implement custom context menu item to WebTextEditor and attach a custom action to it.

SAVING WEBGRID'S COLUMN STRUCTURE .

Recently, we have quite frequently asked questions from prospects and customers on how to save the column structure in WebGrid and reload it on the next visit. Users are given the freedom to show/hide WebGrid's columns and save it. On their next visit, the structure will be reloaded according to their login information.
In this thread by Brad Loveall, Andi shares the best practice to achieve this result by using WebGrid's SaveTablesStructure() and LoadTablesStructure() server-side methods. Click here to view the solutions and join their discussion.

TIPS AND TRICKS – HOW TO DISABLE EDIT ON AN OVERDUE EVENT IN WEBSCHEDULER.

WebScheduler provides many user-friendly features – such as callout and context menu – to quickly perform specific actions. You can add, edit, or delete an event from the callout or context menu.
There are certain situations where all past events shouldn't be editable. To achieve this scenario in WebScheduler, you can use OnCallOutShow and OnContextMenu client-side events to hide the edit and delete buttons.
Here is the code snippet to hide the buttons in WebScheduler's callout:
function WebScheduler1_OnEventBound(controlId, evt)
{
var WebScheduler1 = ISGetObject(controlId);
var dTime = new Date().getTime();
if (evt._Type == "WebSchedulerEventView")
{
var sTime = evt.StartTime.getTime();
if (Math.abs(dTime - sTime) / 86400000 > 1)
{
evt.DisableEdit = true;
evt.DisableDelete = true;
evt.DisableMove = true;
evt.DisableResize = true;
}
}
return true;
}
function WebScheduler1_OnAfterAdd(controlId, evt)
{
var WebScheduler1 = ISGetObject(controlId);
window.setTimeout(function() { WebScheduler1.Refresh(); }, 100);
return true;
}
If you have any questions regarding this approach, please visit this thread.
