UIFramework

A skinned WinForms control library for .NET Framework: DPI-aware, light/dark theming, and a high-performance virtualized data grid.

Every control draws itself from an active ISkin — no hardcoded colors anywhere in a control's own code — so switching SkinManager.Current between LightSkin and DarkSkin (or a custom skin) re-themes the whole UI, including the window's non-client title bar via DWM.

Controls

• SkinnedForm / SkinnedControl — base classes handling skin-aware painting and (for forms) a themed title bar
• SkinButton, SkinLabel, SkinPanel, SkinTextBox, SkinComboBox, SkinTabControl, SkinScrollBar — custom-drawn standard controls
• SpinEdit, DateEdit (with a drawn month calendar), CheckEdit — editors built on a shared ButtonEditBase: one native text core, a painted button zone, and a PopupHost anchor. Invalid input is filtered as you type and falls back silently on commit
• MenuBar / PopupMenu — a skinned menu bar and context menu with submenus, separators, check items, mnemonics (&File), app-wide shortcuts and full keyboard navigation. Menu popups never take focus (WS_EX_NOACTIVATE): the focused control keeps its caret while a menu is open, and the window title bar stays active
• RibbonControl — a skinned ribbon with tabs, groups, large/small image buttons, toggle and dropdown buttons (dropdowns are regular menu popups). Painted element-wise, never steals focus, sizes itself from the skin's font metrics
• GridControl — virtualized grid built to stay smooth at a million rows, with sorting, filtering, column resize/reorder, keyboard navigation, and in-cell editing (F2, double click or type-to-edit; Tab moves on) that writes back through sorted and filtered views to the correct source row

Requirements

• .NET Framework 4.8, WinForms (UseWindowsForms)
