AlterNET UI Beta 6 - Toolbar and StatusBar controls, resource URI support.
In AlterNET UI Beta 6, we have added new controls: Toolbar and StatusBar, and implemented support for the resource URIs.
Toolbar and Statusbar
The AlterNET UI Toolbar is used as a control bar that displays a row of drop-down menus and bitmapped buttons that activate commands, while the StatusBar control is used as an area, usually displayed at the bottom of a window, where an application can display various status information.
Resource URI support
In AlterNET UI, uniform resource identifiers (URIs) are used to identify and load images and data files.
The following is an example of using an image from a resource embedded into the current assembly:
<PictureBox Image="embres:EmployeeFormSample.Resources.EmployeePhoto.jpg" />
We’re planning to add a few more features, like focus management, scrollable controls support, and API for creating custom controls before releasing the first version, anticipated before New Year.
