AlterNET Form Designer is a .NET component library that provides a quick and convenient way to create graphical user interfaces. Forms Designer lets you design UI by adding controls to a design surface, arranging them, and writing code for their events.
This control represents a design surface that enables users to place controls, arrange them, and write code for their events. It supports all standard editing operations, such as dragging, selecting, copying, and deleting components and controls, changing their size and z-order, and undoing any of these operations.
A visual control that displays controls and components that you can drag to the Form Designer surface. It consists of a set of foldable tabs, allowing application developers to organize controls by category and to specify which components and controls, including third-party controls, appear on the toolbox.
A visual control that allows users to view and change design-time properties and assign event handlers for the controls or components selected in the Form Designer. Depending on the property type, it displays different types of editing fields, such as edit boxes, drop-down lists, and checkboxes.
This control provides a hierarchical structure of all elements belonging to the design form. It allows users to select elements to modify, drag-n-drop, and change their properties.
The WinForms Form Designer can save its content to C#, Visual Basic, TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python code, while the WPF designer uses the XAML format instead.
Form Designer comes in the form of two distinct versions: one tailored to WinForms and the other to WPF applications. These versions use different approaches for designing visual interfaces, saving design content, and running designed forms.
*The WPF version of Form Designer, Property Grid, and Outline controls is based on modified sources of the open-source SharpDevelop project.
In Form Designer, you can use the mouse to drag controls, such as buttons and text boxes, onto a design surface.
Form Designer supports all standard form editing operations with controls, such as selecting, copying, pasting, moving, and resizing, matching the functionality of the Microsoft Visual Studio Form Designer.
The WinForms Form Designer can save its content to C#/Visual Basic, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Python/IronPython source code, while the WPF Form Designer uses the XAML format instead.
Along with the user-defined code for event handlers, this form can run using one of our scripting engines.
Once a control is placed to the design form, the Properties window lets you change a control’s appearance and behavior directly.
For example, you can adjust the font size of a button’s text or modify the content displayed in a text box.
These changes are then saved in the source code or XAML, ensuring your form reflects your adjustments.
The Properties window allows you to specify how controls respond to user interactions.
By clicking the ‘Events’ button, you can define what happens when a user clicks a button, enters text in a box, and so on.
The designer even helps you get started by automatically creating the empty code for these event handlers.
