How about a screencast that demonstrates the XtraNavBar, XtraLayoutControl and XtraTreeView?

I use these 3 to emulate the look of an Outlook 2007 style NavBar "Mail" group.

Set an XtraNavBar group's style to Control Container.  

Next insert an XtraLayoutControl and add 2 groups in a single column: 1) Favorite Folders 2) Mail Folders

Now insert a XtraTreeView control into each XtraLayoutControl group.  

Add some nodes and some code.  You're done.

It takes some tweaking to get the padding/spacing between the XtraNavBar group and XtraLayoutControl to look right, but other than that it is really straight foward.

Using this approach let's you use sections/groups within a NavBar group which is great, but I'd like to be able to have a group with a custom control, then another group with a list of NavBar buttons.  Currently, I haven't found a way to emulate the NavBar buttons in a Layout Control -- specifically the Small buttons.   Ideas?

Thanks!

I think what would be useful for users and potential customers would be unique ways to use your controls.  Being able to see a way to effectively use a control or group of controls would help visualize how we could use those same controls in our own applications.

I would also like to explore the smart client concept and how your controls can perform under a local UI and remote db scenario.  I see smart clients becoming more prolific in the near future and if you can develop best practices for data access/performance you could corner that market.

Hi,

I think it would be nice to have screen casts about :

_ XAF

_ XPO

_ more complex usage scenario for XtraGrid, XtraTreeList, XtraVerticalGrid, XtraPivotGrid, XtraScheduler.

Hope it makes sense,

Cheers

P.S: I love your controls :p

Hi,

I forgot to mention something in my previous message:

I think it would be a good idea to analyse the questions your support team receives and see which could be turned into "How to" screencasts.

my 2 cents,

Cheers

Very very nice!!!

Would you please make some demo show about how to set controls in Ribbon PageGroup more beautiful and professional?

Thanks!
