What is Actipro UIStudio?
Actipro UIStudio contains our next generation of bar and docking controls, which provides all the latest
docking toolbar, menu, tool window, and document window functionality found in VS.NET 2005 and Office 2003.
UIStudio also contains great TabStrip and NavigationBar controls.
Check out this suite of high-quality user interface controls that will grow over time.
By combining UIStudio with our other products, such as SyntaxEditor, you'll have a complete solution for adding rich UI functionality
to your application.
UIStudio is based off of the same WinUICore framework that SyntaxEditor and Wizard use.
This enables completely customizable renderering and an improved licensing model.
