Wpftoolkit
wpftoolkit ist eine UI-Komponentenbibliothek und ein Entwicklungs-Toolset für den Aufbau von Windows-Desktopanwendungen. Es bietet eine Sammlung vorgefertigter Eingabesteuerelemente, Layout-Panels und spezialisierter Komponenten, die darauf ausgelegt sind, Standard-Interface-Funktionen zu erweitern.
Das Projekt enthält ein Toolkit zur Datenvisualisierung für das Rendering komplexer Datensätze mittels Diagrammen, Gauges und dreidimensionalen Ansichten. Es bietet zudem ein Fenster-Management-Framework zur Organisation von Anwendungsstrukturen durch Docking-Layouts, Wizard-Flows und Container-Steuerelemente, neben einer visuellen Themen-Engine zur Verwaltung des Erscheinungsbilds von Interface-Komponenten.
Die Suite deckt zudem Barrierefreiheit und Automatisierungsintegration ab und bildet interne Steuerungslogik auf Frameworks ab, die Interface-Elemente für assistierende Technologien und programmatische Test-Tools zugänglich machen.
Features
- Standard UI Component Libraries - Provides a comprehensive collection of pre-built input controls, layout panels, and visualization components for building consistent Windows desktop interfaces.
- WPF UI Development - Provides a comprehensive library of specialized input and layout controls for building Windows applications with WPF.
- Accessibility Integrations - Connects interface elements to UI automation tools and assistive technologies to ensure accessibility compliance.
- XAML - Defines UI structures and visual properties using declarative XAML markup parsed into a runtime object graph.
- Internal Layout Frameworks - Implements docking layouts, wizard flows, and container controls to organize and structure the internal user experience.
- Automation Peer Implementations - Implements automation peers to map internal control logic to the UI Automation framework for accessibility and testing.
- Windows UI Element Automation - Exposes interface elements to assistive technologies and automation tools using native Windows UI automation mechanisms.
- Automation Integration Toolsets - Ships a toolset for exposing interface elements to assistive technologies and external programmatic testing tools.
- Desktop Visual Theming - Provides systems for applying unified visual themes and modern aesthetics across WPF desktop applications.
- Control Templates - Uses XAML templates to decouple visual appearance from logic, allowing deep customization of internal component layouts.

- Layout Composition Frameworks - Provides a system for nesting specialized layout panels and container controls to build complex hierarchical interfaces.
- Window Docking Systems - Provides a system of docking layouts, wizard flows, and container controls to organize application window structures.
- Resource Dictionaries - Manages reusable visual styles and brushes through centralized XAML resource dictionaries that can be swapped at runtime.
- Dependency Property Bindings - Utilizes WPF dependency properties to synchronize control state and trigger automatic UI updates.
- Enterprise Interface Patterns - Implements standardized layout and behavioral patterns like docking and wizards optimized for professional business applications.
- Visual Theme Engines - Includes a styling system for applying predefined visual configurations to desktop user interface components.
- Visual Themes - Enables changing the interface appearance using predefined style configurations and collections of stylesheets.
- WPF Chart Controls - Provides a specialized toolkit of charts, gauges, and 3D views for rendering complex datasets in WPF.
- WPF Components - Collection of controls and utilities for WPF.
