With Xceed Editors for .NET, you are just a couple of mouse clicks away from creating unique and more powerful UIs. When dropped onto a form, the controls are automatically set up with the most common features and functionalities ready to go.

The most striking feature of these controls is a high degree of combinability: other Xceed editor controls (in fact any .NET control) can be embedded within them to create new ones. By using a WinPanel, any Windows Forms control can dropdown any other control, allowing for unlimited flexibility and innovation. So in addition to getting features that surpass what VS.NET offers, these controls can be combined to take your UI even further.

Second, these supplemental composite controls show just how easy it is to create controls of your own that are unrivaled in the ways they let your end-users interact with your software.
