CardView Control

The WPF CardView is a powerful, feature-packed data visualization control that displays data in a card-like format. The control enables a wide variety of features, including but not limited to:

• Editing: The cards contain sets of data fields that can be edited while the corresponding card is selected.
• Selection: The control provides built-in selection support.
• Grouping: Users can interactively organize their data in a way that best suits their needs with a single drag and drop action. Data can be grouped according to several criteria, effectively creating a tree of groups with the leaf nodes holding the actual data records.
• Different card layouts: The layout of the cards and groups can be altered between row and column-based ordering.
• Sorting: You can sort the cards via a drop-down menu, listing the data fields.
• Filtering: The control has built-in filtering support.
• Customizable elements: Cards can be easily customized using the control's API.
• Localization support: The text used in the settings areas of the controls is localized.

WordsProcessing: Support for Content Controls

Structured Document Tags (SDT) or content controls enable users to add specific semantics to the document: restricting input, modifying editing behavior, etc. Usually, this functionality is used to create separate fields that should be filled and the user interaction is improved by providing specific UI controls like checkboxes, calendars, combo boxes, and others. The currently supported content controls by WordsProcessing include CheckBox, ComboBox, Date, DropDownList, Image, and others. You can the full list and more details in our documentation: Content Controls for WordsProcessing.
