## Telerik UI for WinForms Integration

As other frameworks, Telerik UI for WinForms controls utilize document processing libraries to take most of its capabilities. In the following section we will list which controls are using these libraries.

#### RadPdfViewer

[RadPdfViewer](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/pdfviewer/overview) enables you to easily load and display PDF documents natively in your application without using any third-party tools except Telerik’s WinForms toolbox. The control is optimized to work together with [RadPdfProcessing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radpdfprocessing/overview) library model.

#### RadSpreadsheet

The [RadSpreadsheet](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/spreadsheet/overview) control allows editing tabular data utilizing a variety of cell formatting options, styles and themes. The control utilizes the API defined in the [RadSpreadProcessing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/overview) library.

#### RadGridView

The [RadGridView](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/gridview/overview) enables you to create fully customizable and highly interactive interfaces for display and management of large data. The control utilize different parts of Telerik Document Processing Libraries, thus allowing you to export the control into different formats: xlsx, csv, pdf or txt.

#### RadTreeView

The \[RadTreeView] control facilitates display, management, and navigation of hierarchical data structures. The [**TreeViewSpreadExport**](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/treeview/export-data/spread-export) class utilize the [RadSpreadProcessing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/overview) library. Thus allowing you to export the control into different formats: xlsx, csv, pdf or txt.

#### RadPivotGrid

[RadPivotGrid](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/pivotgrid/overview) for WinForms is a control which provides functionality similar to the functionality of PivotTables in MS Excel. It takes large chunks of data and summarizes it in a human readable way by the help of aggregates and field descriptors. The control utilizes the API defined in the [RadSpreadProcessing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/overview) library to export the control into different formats: xlsx, csv, pdf and txt.

#### RadListView

[RadListView](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/listview/listview) is a bindable control for representing and editing list data with lots of customization abilities. The control utilizes the API defined in the [RadSpreadProcessing](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/overview) library to export the control into different formats: xlsx, csv, pdf and txt.

#### PropertyGrid

[RadPropertyGrid](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/propertygrid/overview) for WinForms displays the properties of a given object in a user-friendly way allowing the end-user to edit these properties using our editors.
