What’s New in 2010 Volume 3: Tools Silverlight

We are proud to announce that we made a lot of progress with Tools Silverlight for Essential Studio 2010 Volume 3, and here you can preview the details. Commonly, we target toward providing compatibility with Silverlight 4, seamless integration with Visual Studio & Blend, built-in skins, blendability, MVVM support, localization, and other usability-related fixes and features based on customers’ feedback. Here I am going to briefly tell you about the new features/controls that we created for this release.

Ribbon Control

Volume 3 will add dynamic resizing, a command manager, a ribbon window, and a context menu to the ribbon control. Synchronization and a customization dialog will be included for the quick-access toolbar—which can add items through the context menu. Also, keyboard navigation, localization, and WPF code compatibility will be added as well as design-time extensibility for VS and MS Blend. Please see this post, which talks about these new features in detail.

Docking Manager

The DockingManager will support the Maximize button and be able to display Menu, AutoHide, and Close buttons in individual windows. Freezing layouts will be supported as well as new themes, context menus, and methods for docking, and tabbed groups. You’ll also be able to show a different caption foreground for an active window, and display a border when hovering over an unselected tab item. Localization support and the ability to customize templates with Blend will also be included.
