Namespace NanoByte.Common.EtoControls

Eto.Forms controls and forms.

Dialogs

Use Msg to show simple message boxes and ErrorBox to report exceptions to the user.

InputBox and OutputBox (along with OutputGridBox and OutputTreeBox) provide quick prompts and result displays.

Controls

FilteredTreeView<T> displays a list of INameds in a tree with incremental search.

TaskControl, TaskProgressBar and TaskLabel display the progress of ITasks.

PropertyEditor displays and edits the properties of an object, similar to the Windows Forms PropertyGrid.

TimeSpanControl and UriTextBox provide input for TimeSpans and Uris.

Windows

WindowExtensions centers windows without an owner on the screen and provides Windows-specific helpers for taskbar app IDs, preventing taskbar pinning and UAC shield icons on buttons. The Windows-specific helpers do nothing on other platforms.
