RADvolution Designer - Standard Edition 2005

The easy way to design and maintain professional .NET forms in no-time.

Ever dreamed of a correct layout at once? Just by dropping controls? Without any layout panels? Just imagine: no more hassle with aligning, tab orders and anchors! And still have total control and flexibility.

A powerful and flexible layout solution. Simply drag and drop controls and your layout is ready at once. Just by touching another control you let the RADvolution Designer know what you want.

The layout engine takes care of all the rest: the alignment, the repositioning of other controls, the correct tabindex, an anchor validation, ... .Easily set your own preferred default layout settings. Share them between applications and override settings per form where necessary.

Quick design provides a shortcut in adding multiple controls at once. It even applies the default naming convention. With accelerator check included.

The default naming convention is applied in the quick design window. There the RADvolution Designer automatically takes care of composing the name of your control. The standard edition (SE) only supports the default naming convention, which means: variable text part and the name of the control type. E.g.: CityLabel, CityTextBox. The professional edition (PE) allows you to set your own naming convention.

The RADvolution form is a normal form with extra handy functionality for developers. The RADvolution Designers layout engine is included. Dropping and moving controls on the form immediately results in a consistent and professional layout. The layout engine is always present and works immediately on any control.

Ready to use form buttons like Close, OK and Cancel are present too. The RADvolution Designer takes care of the appropriate boilerplate actions, so ready to use at once. Double click on a control and you are ready (the layout engine automatically positions these controls).
