WinForms and WPF Tile Navigation Control (Coming Soon in v14.1)

plan to add it in XAF 14.1?

Is the winforms control going to be a default in XAF?

Is there going to be a XAF like product for WPF applications?

Is a silverlight version comming, since most code is shared please add it to silverlight

Dynamics products are targeting business customers thats kind of XAF target users as well. This control would make XAF way more modern. So its definately good idea to have it in XAF.

What about the same for VCL?

So much more could be done with this UI than just use it as a kind of menu :

If you would implement a drag-and-drop mechanism this could be used as a generic object-representation area. Would you consider this ? Thanks a lot !

Yes I want to see it also for VCL :-)

VCL last century ...

Awesome. Definitely going to use this control for WPF if it's MVVM friendly

Now that is cool! I have an immediate use for it once it is released.

We use MS CRM and I can tell you from experience that the new Tile Nav sucks when you're using it on a regular computer. It's designed for tablet or touch screen users. If the menu is too long for the width of your monitor, you have to move your mouse all the way to the right side to click a skinny page next button. If you miss it with the mouse, guess what, the menu goes away and you have to start all over. On a tablet, awesome. On a computer, this system sucks and I wouldn't put my customers through such a horrible experience. Hopefully DevEx has done something to address the short-comings of this control.

Will there be options to keep the navigation area open (not collapsed) if the user starts working on the current page?  This way it behaves much like a normal menu.

Also, will there be any runtime customization?  Drag and drop capabilities to reorder button items?

Are tiles expected to replace tabs? Currently we have several tabs in our application so just trying to understand the use case for tiles.

Eager to know what gets added to XAF! Web version is screaming for a revamp

Is there any possible in 14.1  of  the InstantFeedback of LookUpEdit in WPF.

Silverlight version please!!!

I think XAF really needs some UI improvements since actually both Win and Web application interface seem to be old. Please, work on that!!

It would be great to see this control in XAF!

I like this control for winforms apps, but I'm not sure that it has much of a place in XAF.  The navigation system in the XAF winforms UI seems pretty tightly coupled to the Outlook-style presentation.  My apps in particular have come to rely on the visibility of lots of choices in the navigation pane (I typically use the tree-style display).  I don't know how that would work with the TileNav pane, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice much screen space or visibility just to have the new look.  But who knows, maybe the developers at DX can come up with something that makes it work.

Since the code is mostly shared between SL & WPF why no plans for SL.

Up to now you had nearly all controls between SL & WPF in parity.

Is there a change in direction to really stop doing SL Components?

Petty I thought that codebase was common between SL and Silverlight and up to now you had excellence parity between WPF and SL Components.

Does that mean you are reducing SL parity with WPF components?

:(

when we will have a beta versión (TileBar Control)

When we will have v14.1?

This will be so more useful to desktop clients who find the tile navigation menu too slow to get to where you need to quickly. Looking forward to TileNav ASAP.

Thank you.

Hello,

It is seen that the hierarchy level is limited to three levels. ¿Usarlor is possible on more levels ?, for example:

Business -> Consortium> Customers -> Branches

Thank you.
