DataJuggler.Win.Controls is a collection of C# WinForms user controls that make it simple to build user interfaces.

This button is an image button with a few themes.

The LabelCheckBoxControl consists of a Label and a Checkbox. Set the LabelText, LabelColor and LabelWidth properties to control its appearnce.

The LabelComboBoxControl consists of a Label and a ComboBox. Set the LabelText, LabelColor and LabelWidth properties to control its appearnce. The LoadItems method can load a list of objects or an enumeration can be loaded.

The LabelLabelControl consists of a Label and a value Label. Both labels can be customized.

The LabelTextBoxBrowserControl consists of a Label, a TextBox and a button. Switch the BrowseType to File, Folder or Custom.

The LabelTextBoxControl consists of a Label and a TextBox. You can customize the appearance of the Label and TextBox.

The ListEditorControl is used to edit a list of objects. This control uses interfaces to create methods for Add, Edit and Delete.

This control contains a Save button and a Cancel button.

Divide the interface up into Tabs, and use this button to change tabs.

C# How to use the Tab Control of DataJuggler Win Controls https://youtu.be/WFQcAlYt2F4

Instructions for use

Add NuGet package DataJuggler.Win.Controls to your project, and using statements to your form for:

using DataJuggler.Win.Controls;
using DataJuggler.Win.Controls.Interfaces;

Next, have your form implement ITabHostParent interface. To see a working example, visit this project:

Random USD (a work in progress, but the TabHostControl works). https://github.com/DataJuggler/RandomUSD

After you add the interface for ITabHostParent to your project, right click and select 'Implement Interface', and two events will be added to your project. Make sure to add your buttons in reverse order, as the way Dock.Left works your buttons will display last first.

private void TabHostControl_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Setup the TabHostControl
    TabHostControl.AddTabButton(3, "Materials", 200, Color.Black, false);
    TabHostControl.AddTabButton(2, "Props", 200, Color.Black, false);
    TabHostControl.AddTabButton(1, "Scenes", 200, Color.Black, true);
    TabHostControl.TopMargin = 16;
    TabHostControl.LeftMargin = 8;

    // Setup the Parent
    TabHostControl.TabHostParent = this;
}

public void TabSelected(TabButton selectedButton)
{
	// If the selectedButton object exists
    if (NullHelper.Exists(selectedButton))
    {
        switch (selectedButton.ButtonNumber)
        {
            case 1:

                // setup for Scenes
                UIVisibility(ScreenTypeEnum.Scenes);

                // required
                break;

            case 2:

                // setup for Props
                UIVisibility(ScreenTypeEnum.Props);

                // required
                break;

            case 3:
			
				// setup for Materials
                UIVisibility(ScreenTypeEnum.Materials);

                // required
                break;
        }
    }
}

This control is used to host an enabled state image and a disabled state image.

The Timer Display is used to display time such as a count down timer.

Contains some controls to setup the TimerDisplay control.
