WpfHexEditorControl

A full-featured WPF hex editor UserControl for .NET 8. Successor to WPFHexaEditor.

Quick Start

<Window xmlns:hexe="clr-namespace:WpfHexEditor.HexEditor;assembly=WpfHexEditor.HexEditor">
    <hexe:HexEditor FileName="C:\path\to\file.bin" />
</Window>

dotnet add package WpfHexEditorControl

What's New in 3.0.0 (since WPFHexaEditor 2.1.7)

Breaking Changes

  • Target framework: .NET 8.0-windows (dropped .NET Framework 4.7 and .NET Core 3.1)
  • Namespace renamed: WPFHexaEditor → WpfHexEditor.HexEditor
  • Assembly renamed: WPFHexaEditor.dll → WpfHexEditor.HexEditor.dll
  • Modular architecture: core logic extracted into separate assemblies (Core, BinaryAnalysis, Definitions, Editor.Core)

Performance

  • GlyphRun-based text renderer — replaces FormattedText, eliminates per-glyph allocation
  • LineVisualPool — object pooling for visible line elements, zero GC pressure on scroll
  • HexLookup table — O(1) byte-to-hex conversion via precomputed 256-entry table
  • TBL key buffer — zero-allocation custom table encoding
  • DrawingContext renderers for HexBox and ProgressBar controls
  • Cached DPI, FormattedText, and Pens — 25-55ms → 5-8ms render time in docking scenarios
  • Dirty-line tracking — only re-render lines that changed, not the full viewport
  • Mouse hover overlay — eliminated full re-render on mouse move

New Features

  • 400+ built-in format definitions (.whfmt) — automatic format detection and syntax coloring for PE, ELF, ZIP, PNG, PDF, MP3, SQLite, and hundreds more
  • Column and row highlighting — visual cursor tracking across hex and ASCII panels
  • Undo/redo overhaul — UndoGroup composite, transactions, coalescence, history dropdown
  • Binary analysis — Shannon entropy, byte distribution, anomaly detection, data type estimation
  • Intel HEX / S-Record — import/export support
  • Binary template compiler — 010 Editor compatible C-like templates
  • Format field overlay — semi-transparent colored blocks over detected format structures
  • Settings UI — dynamic property editor with ColorPicker for all editor properties
  • IDocumentEditor interface — standardized editor contract for hosting frameworks

Bug Fixes

  • Row highlight now updates on vertical scroll
  • Null guard on UpdateColumnHighlight
  • FileSystemWatcher re-fire suppressed during ReloadFromDisk
  • ByteToolTipDisplayMode/DetailLevel DP defaults synced to HexViewport at init
  • MouseWheelSpeed DP implemented in scroll handler
