Actipro Editors is a control suite that implements several data entry controls for the Windows Presentation Foundation framework,
including a masked textbox and parts-based editors. Each control has numerous options available and allows for a more intuitive/natural data entry.
The masked textbox can be used to restrict user input to a preconfigured regular expression mask, with support for alternations and quantifiers.
Parts-based editors allow the various "parts" of an associated type to be modified individually, such as entering only the month part of a date.
Several parts-based editors are provided for existing .Net types, including brushes, colors, and dates/times.
Helper assemblies are included to make integrating Editors into
DataGrid,
PropertyGrid and
Ribbon a breeze.
