Mordex Components

Get started

Get started with Mordex ComponentsAdd the Mordex.Windows package to a .NET 10 WinForms project, place a control on a form and pick a theme for the whole program.
Use the controls in the Visual Studio designerDrag Mordex controls onto a form, use their smart tags and designer dialogs, and edit their properties in the Properties window of Visual Studio.

Choose a theme for all controlsPick one of the 35 built-in themes, follow the light or dark setting of Windows, or register a theme with your own colors. All controls repaint at once.

Show and edit data in the data gridBind MxDataGrid to a table, set up its columns, and let users sort, resize, select and edit rows. Rules can color cells by their values.
Group rows and show totals in the data gridGroup the rows of MxDataGrid by one or more columns. Add a total row, totals for each group, and totals in the group headers.
Filter rows and choose columns in the data gridFilter MxDataGrid with the filter row, with conditions in code, or with the filter builder. Let users hide and show columns with the field chooser.
Show master detail tables and tree rows in the data gridShow parent and child tables in one MxDataGrid, such as customers with their orders. Or build a tree from one table that has an ID and a parent ID.
Export, print and save the layout of the data gridSend the rows of MxDataGrid to an Excel workbook, print them with page headers and footers, and save the column layout to load it again later.

Show appointments in the schedulerShow appointments in day, week or month view. Put people side by side, repeat events, shade working time and let users drag appointments.
Plan projects and tasks on the timelineShow tasks as bars on a time scale, group them by project and zoom from days to months. Users can drag a task to move it or change its length.
Pick dates with the date picker and calendarLet users type or pick one date, set limits, mark busy days and show several months. A calendar on the form can also select a range of days.
Print the scheduler and the timelinePrint the current scheduler view or a period of the timeline. Add page headers and footers with page numbers, and show a preview before you print.

Build a ribbon with tabs, groups and commandsAdd MxRibbon to a form, fill it with tabs, groups and buttons in two sizes, and set up the Quick Access toolbar, the application menu and tips.
Add menus, toolbars, context menus and a status barDefine your commands once in MxCommandManager, show them in a menu bar, a toolbar and a context menu, and add an MxStatusBar with text, progress and a slider.
Add an Outlook style navigation bar with groups and itemsUse MxNavigationBar to build a side bar of groups and items, react when the user picks an item, and change the style, icons and animation.
Add a task pane with groups of linksUse MxTaskPane to show groups of task links beside your content. Groups can expand, collapse and close, and an item click runs your code.

Build a docking layout with dock panelsAdd panels that dock to the edges of a form, share tabs, hide at the edge or float. Then save the layout and load it again on the next start.
Show pages in a tab controlUse MxTabControl to show pages under tabs. Add pages in code, choose where the tabs go, show close buttons and react when the user picks a tab.
Use scroll panels, group boxes and floating windowsScroll large content with buttons in MxScrollPanel, frame related fields with MxGroupBox, and move a dock panel into its own floating window.
Use buttons, pickers, combo boxes and other input controlsAdd buttons, check boxes, color and font pickers, combo boxes, track bars and progress bars to a form. Then add rich tool tips and an About box.
