With only three weeks left before I go on a four week holiday I need to work on tasks that are quick and simple. I don’t want to be half way through a complex piece of work and then have to leave it unfinished. So looking at my wish list of new controls I spotted the humble NumericUpDown.
A simple control but a very useful one that is also very similar to others I have already Kryptonized. So here you can see the KryptonNumericUpDown control in action…
…and with the Ribbon style…
…and with a ButtonSpec added…
Now onto another control that I can add fairly quickly.

That is a great news ! :)
For the other control : a progressbar or a trackbar ?
Keep up the good work Phil !

Nice!
Maybe you can also add a replacement for System.Windows.Forms.Splitter control. Your toolkit has already includes a KryptonSplitContainer but having a standalone Splitter control would be great. I think it’s not very much work to do since you have already implemented same functionality in Container version.

Excellent. I am working on an application right now that uses UpDown and the default Windows controls look more than a little “funny” next to the classier Krypton controls.

Nice addition to the free Toolkit!
I would vote for some independent “Tooltip” control (as extender?…), as it already exists in the Toolkit and would be very useful to integrate contextual help in a classy look…
Just a thought….

Nice work !
Hope we have a small “2.8.6″ Release before your well deserved holidays.

Horahh for the UpDown control :) Nice work.
Another vote here for a progress bar. Would be nice if we had one that works like the standard one, but also has an ‘Indeterminate’ mode for operations that you dont know how long will take etc.

If you change the Style property of a System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar to Marquee, the progress bar will animate continuously without filling up.
