WPFで複雑なユーザーインターフェースを整理

ドッキング機能を備えたUIスイートを活用し、WPFアプリ内のレイアウト配置、浮動パネル、永続ワークスペースをユーザーが制御可能

Docking controls are a key element of user interface design that enhance the usability of complex applications. They allow users to rearrange windows or panels within the main application window, making it easier to create personalized, efficient layouts. These controls typically support drag-and-drop interactions and automatic alignment, which help users maintain a tidy and organized workspace while working with multiple tools or data views. Docking frameworks often include features like tabbed documents, floating windows, and layout persistence, all of which contribute to a more flexible and user-driven application environment. This makes docking especially useful in professional software environments that involve large volumes of information or tool-based workflows.

Several WPF UI suites provide you with docking support, including:

  • DevExpress WPF offers a comprehensive docking system with advanced layout persistence, tabbed document interfaces, and runtime customization.
  • ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS provides a docking control that supports auto-hide, floating windows, and full integration with its theme and layout systems.
  • Telerik UI for WPF supports dockable and floatable panes, tabbed documents, nested docking, layout saving/loading, and other docking behaviors suitable for complex UIs.
  • Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF features a flexible docking framework with rich layout options, including nested panes and content serialization for saving and restoring layouts.

DevExpress Universal 25.2は、アプリがユーザーの意図を解釈し、実行時にUIコンポーネントやロジックに変更を直接適用できる新しいAPIを追加

DevExpress Universal is a comprehensive suite of UI components and developer tools that supports the creation of feature-rich applications across web, desktop, and mobile platforms, including .NET, JavaScript, Blazor, ASP.NET, WinForms, WPF, and MAUI. It focuses on delivering consistent user interfaces, advanced data visualization, reporting, dashboards, and productivity features that help teams design, build, and maintain complex applications using a unified set of technologies and patterns.

DevExpress Universal v25.2 introduces AI Tool Calling (Natural Language Control for UI Components), a cross-platform feature that extends Microsoft.Extensions.AI tool-calling to enable natural-language interaction with application UI and logic. Developers can expose UI components, ViewModels, and business services as AI-invokable tools, grouped into dynamic toolsets that adapt to the application’s current context. When users interact through the DevExpress AI Chat Control, the language model interprets their request, selects the appropriate tool, resolves the target instance, and executes the action in real time, making applications easier to use while giving developers full control over what the AI can see and do.

DevExpress Universal is licensed per developer and is available as a Perpetual License with a 12 month support and maintenance subscription. See our DevExpress Universal licensing page for full details.

DevExpress WPF 25.2では、ナビゲーションペインを切り替えるリボンページヘッダーボタンが追加され、Microsoft Outlookの馴染みのあるUXを模しています。

DevExpress WPF is a powerful suite of controls that enhances your WPF development toolkit. It offers data grids, ribbon menus, rich text editors, spreadsheets, charts, and more, all with beautiful themes and touch-friendly interfaces. DevExpress WPF helps you to build professional-looking, responsive applications that meet modern user expectations, saving you time and effort while adding polish and functionality.

The DevExpress WPF 25.2 update introduces support for a Page Header Button positioned directly in the ribbon’s page header area. This new UI element allows developers to replicate the toggle behavior seen in recent versions of Microsoft Outlook, where users can expand or collapse navigation panes with a single click. It is a simple yet effective way to enhance usability in complex applications, particularly those that rely on dynamic side panels or menus. This new functionality brings a modern and intuitive interaction model to WPF-based interfaces, aligning with common user expectations.

ページシーケンスを変更して、文書構造を改善し、コンプライアンスニーズをサポートし、複雑なPDFをより効率的に管理

Moving pages in a PDF file refers to the ability to change the order of individual pages within the document. This is typically done by dragging and dropping pages into a new sequence or by specifying where a page should be relocated. The main benefit of this feature is improved document organization, especially in cases where content needs to be restructured for clarity, relevance, or compliance with formatting requirements. It also simplifies tasks such as compiling reports, merging multiple sources, or preparing documents for printing and distribution, making it easier to manage large or complex PDF files efficiently.

Several WPF PDF components allow you to move pages in a PDF, including:

  • Telerik UI for WPF PdfProcessing (part of Telerik UI for WPF) lets you reorder PDF pages programmatically, enabling the dynamic restructuring of documents in WPF apps.
  • IronPDF for .NET by Iron Software allows you to reposition pages inside PDFs via code, helping developers customize document flow and prepare files for output or review.
  • XFINIUM.PDF WPF/UWP EDITION enables page movement within PDFs, giving UWP and WPF applications precise control over document layout and sequence adjustments.
  • Syncfusion WPF PDF (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) lets you reorder pages in PDF files through its API, supporting document editing and structured presentation.

12月 19, 2025
WPFのアプリ内で画像編集を有効にし、注釈、トリミング、変形、ズーム、元に戻し、再編集、さらに簡単なインポートとエクスポートが可能

Image editing in a data editor component helps users work with images alongside other data fields. This includes basic functions like cropping, rotating, resizing, and adding annotations. It's useful for tasks such as cleaning up user-uploaded files, adjusting product photos, or marking up visual references—all without switching to another application. This keeps image handling part of the same process as your data updates.

Several .NET data editor collections provide an image editor, including:

  • DevExpress WPF Data Editors (part of DevExpress WPF) lets you embed image editing within forms, enabling cropping, annotation and validation.
  • Telerik UI for WPF Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for WPF) allows you to integrate image modification tools into business apps, supporting annotations and transformations.
