.NET Custom Controls

Custom controls I have made

.NET FormV2

Modified version of the normal Windows Forms in .NET

What's the difference with the original one?

  • When it shows is with a fade-in and fade-out effect (can be disabled too).
  • Well, you can change the title bar color along with its font.
  • You can adjust the border width and its color too.
  • You can change the Minimize, Maximize and Exit colors buttons (Idle and Over)
  • Adjust the height of the title bar (minimum 22 pixels)
  • Add an EDGE color of the form

What is missing

  • The new standard (since Win 7) behavior of normal Forms: When you drag the Form along with your cursor pointer to an edge of the screen.

How to use it

  • Add the FormV2 class to your project
  • Create a new Form from your Visual Studio env.
  • Go to the .design file your new Form has.
  • Change the inheritance code saying your new Form inherites this class
  • Profit

along with the Form, you can spot a BooleanControl (right of "Must Evaluate") and a CustomGroupBox (the container of the BooleanControl). alt tag

.NET Descriptive Button

A button that shows a description when the mouse is hover, the transition to show and hide the description is full animated!

How to use it

  • Add the DescButton class to your project
  • Build your project
  • Now the control will be visible in the Components (YourProjectName) section of your Tools box tab (its at first)
  • Drag the control to your Form
  • Customize it
  • Profit

.NET Custom Groupbox

I was bored of use that un-customizable container, so I made a Customizable GroupBox

How to use it

  • Add the CustomGroupBox class to your project
  • Build your project
  • Now the control will be visible in the Components (YourProjectName) section of your Tools box tab (its at first)
  • Drag the control to your Form
  • Customize it
  • Profit

Border width and color are customizable.

.NET Boolean Control

Like a checkbox but with a completly different design. It has 2 types: Rounded and Squared. Rounded is bugged because the .NET "Engine" doesn't stand the quantity of re-draws (uses an animation), but I decided to let it be just in case you are curious. JUST USE THE SQUARE TYPE!! xd

How to use it

  • Same as CustomGroupBox

The button is slightly highlighted when the mouse is hover it, like in the second screenshot.
