Krypton Toolkit
Free controls for Windows.Forms

Adding a professional veneer to your application can be the most time-consuming part of your development effort. You want the polish of Office 2007, but without the six-month schedule that goes with it.

Krypton Toolkit takes over where Windows.Forms stops. With its combination of global palettes and deep customizability, you can use this toolkit to create the kind of professional user interfaces you always wanted but never had the time to develop.

To help get you started there is extensive documentation integrated into the Visual Studio help system. Source code for all the samples is provided for you to lookup. When creating a new project you can select one of the Krypton templates in order get started with all the correct references. In fact everything you need to get up and running is installed as standard.

Finally, don't forget to check out the forums and blog for the very latest information about the Toolkit. Feel free to ask a question or provide feedback on possible improvements for the future.

Krypton Ribbon
Add the Office 2007 Ribbon to your application

You want customers to think your software is professional and up-to-date. That means keeping your applications up with the latest in user interface standards. With the release of Office 2007 the Ribbon is fast becoming the de-facto standard for desktop applications.

Developing with the Krypton Ribbon could not be easier. Just drag the Ribbon from the Toolbox and drop it onto a Krypton Form and your ribbon is up and working. Adding tabs, groups and items is just as simple with single mouse click.

Our implementation takes care of the heavy lifting so that you don't have to. As the user resizes the window we automatically organize the Ribbon groups to show the optimum amount of information. It just works.

Krypton Navigator
TabControl + Kryptonite = Navigator

Why settle for a standard TabControl when you can have so much more. Take navigation to the next level with our unique Navigator component. Whatever the situation we have a mode for the job.

Not only do you have an amazing 18 modes to choose from but you can customize just about everything. Change colors, fonts, images, positioning, alignment and much more. Even better, you can switch navigation modes on the fly. Give your novice user one mode and the expert user another. With other component libraries you would need to remove the entire control and put another in its place. Not with the Navigator!

We put you in control of the Navigator, you can hide and show individual pages or enable and disable individual pages. Use the rich set of events for controlling the transition from one page to the next. You have the flexibility to implement whatever scheme you need.
