Item selection

Group expansion/collapse animation (one or multiple groups can be expanded simultaneously)

Built-in search

Pages can host any content, from panels and group boxes to user controls. Page navigation incorporates elegant animation effects.

The DevExpress MVVM library, previously available to WPF developers, has now been extended to WinForms so you can create complex WinForms apps that adhere to concepts underpinning MVVM. Our MVVM Framework is fully supported by all DevExpress WinForms UI controls and provides design-time capabilities to perform basic operations, such as property and command binding, creating and registering services, etc.

Scaffolding wizards available from the DevExpress Template Gallery and numerous tutorials included into our 'MVVM Best Practices' WinForms demo help you master usage of the DevExpress MVVM Framework and build scalable, maintainable and testable enterprise applications for WinForms.
