Thanks for the tools. Looks good. I would like to see a DateTimePicker, Calendar, and Ribbon included in WPF future controls. Keep up good work.

That looks good, though a little late for some items (ProgressBar in particular)... I would love to see a proper implementation of TreeListView, with multi-selection included.

Anybody knows how to merge 2 cells into one, inside a WPF GridView or DataGrid?

I would like to see a carousel control. Any plans for this?

Please consider a much needed DockingControl for more complex UI.

I suggest you try AvalonDock at http://www.codeplex.com/AvalonDock. This docking toolkit is being used in the next version of SharpDevelop.

Is there any plans on adding the grouping feature to the Visual Studio WPF DataGrid similar to DevExpress's Silverlight 2 AgDataGrid and Infragistics WPF DataGrid?

jlandheer Oct 29 2008 at 10:32 PM

I agree with schildkroete, docking would be very much appreciated. It is already in the MFC with Visual Studio 2008, and it can be very usefull for WPF as well.

Finally, we just got a DatePicker and DataGrid. Too late for the project I'm on that's about to roll out the door. Still needed is WebBrowser and HelpProvider controls.

Can't more agree with cbanks. WPF control support is slow. The control's like ProgressBar are not still supported. Aslo, the virtualization support is not great. Does WPF team has any time line when WPF tool set will have enough control's to really supercede WinForms controls?

Main drawback is virtualizing panels : We need ALL panels (I need WrapPanel first !) to be virtualizing, recycling panels. And also provide some methodology for Data Virtualization.
WPF is great but with these improvements it would become a killer technology !

Will you be releasing a DataGridView? If not, how/what could you use in WPF to produce similar results?
