ZeroUI.WinForms 1.16.2

ZeroUI.WinForms ⚡

Ultra-high-performance WinForms enterprise & industrial UI suite with 10M+ rows virtual grid, cross-tab OLAP pivot matrices, visual timeline range selectors, form validation engines, and 60 FPS SCADA mimics (net462, net8.0-windows).

🌟 Key Features

⚡ Optimized Smart Containers (OptimizedPanel / ZeroOptimizedPanel)

• 9-Slice Cached Shadow Panel: High-performance smart card container leveraging the 9-slice cached shadow atlas, completely eliminating GDI+ software convolution lag on card drop shadows while keeping 100% native GDI+ text clarity.

🚀 Big Data Virtual Grid & OLAP Matrix

• Virtual DataGrid (GridControl / ZeroGridControl):
  • Effortlessly renders 10,000,000+ virtual rows with zero GC allocations on hot scrolling loops.
  • Single-HWND architecture with Win32 Memory DC DIBSection double-buffering (eliminates Win32 handle leaks and GDI object churn).
  • High-speed pointer swap sorting, debounced search filtering (150ms), density switching (Compact, Normal, Comfortable), and streaming CSV export (>1,100,000 rows/s).
  • Multi-level row grouping with expand/collapse states (GroupedRowIndexMap), summaries, and bands.
• OLAP Multidimensional Analysis Matrix (PivotGridControl / ZeroPivotGrid):
  • Cross-tab dynamic aggregation matrix grouping arbitrary datasets across Row and Column dimensions.
  • Summary calculations (Sum, Count, Average, Min, Max), interactive collapsible drill-down nodes (▶/▼), automated sub-totals, and grand totals.
• FilterControl & FilterCriteria: Enterprise Visual Query Builder UI with boolean tree logic (AND, OR, NOT AND, NOT OR) and SQL WHERE generation.

⏱️ Range Controls & Visual Timeline

• RangeControl / DateTimeRangeSlider: Interactive dual-thumb range selector with background sparkline / distribution histogram track, continuous and discrete range selection (numeric and DateTime intervals), auto interval tick formatting, draggable range window, and snap-to-intervals.

🛡️ Form Validation & Localization Engine

• ValidationProvider & ZeroErrorProvider: Enterprise-grade form validation and visual error notification framework. Supports declarative fluent rules (NotEmpty, Range, Regex, Email, Length, Custom), animated pulsing vector error badges, warning glyphs, focus outlines, and automatic scroll-to-first-error.
• ZeroLocalizer Integration: Instant culture hot-switching (en-US, vi-VN) at runtime across all grids, date pickers, dialogs, and validation error messages without restarting the application.
• IZeroEditor & ZeroDataBinder: Standardized data-binding and editor protocol (EditValue, IsModified, ReadOnly, ResetModified()), enabling automated two-way property binding and validation hookup.

✏️ Modern Enterprise Editors (ZeroUI.WinForms.Editors)

• GridLookupEdit / ZeroGridLookup: Multi-column dropdown editor hosting an embedded virtual DataGrid with instant live search.
• CheckedComboBoxEdit / ZeroCheckedComboBox: Multi-select dropdown with checkbox items and search.
• TokenEdit / ZeroTokenEdit: Tag & badge input with dismissible chips and keyboard navigation.
• ColorPickEdit / ZeroColorPicker: Swatch matrix and HEX color editor.
• DateEdit & DateRangePicker: Multi-tier zoom navigation calendar (Days → Months → Years) and dual-date range presets.

📐 Layout, Docking & Workflows

• ProcessMap: Interactive business process flowchart & workflow navigation map with customizable UserControl action triggers, orthogonal routing, and JSON serialization.
• DockManager / ZeroDockManager: Multi-zone docking system (Left/Right/Top/Bottom/Document) with splitters, auto-hide tabs, and ZeroFloatingWindow for detached multi-monitor workspaces.
• WorkspaceSerializer / ZeroWorkspaceSerializer: Pure zero-dependency JSON layout persistence engine capturing and restoring DockPanel and DataGrid column configurations.
• WizardControl / ZeroWizard: Multi-step process workflow wizard with validation and step progress indicator.
• ToolbarControl & SideNavControl: Anti-aliased action toolbar with collision guard and collapsible vertical navigation bar.
• ZTour (ZeroUI.WinForms.Common.ZTour): Interactive guided onboarding tour engine with spotlight cutout masking (Region.Exclude), glowing animated target borders, dynamic popover card with collision-free placement, step counter, dot indicators, and keyboard navigation (Escape, Enter, arrows).

🏭 Industrial, SCADA & MES Suite (ZeroUI.WinForms.Industrial)

• Instrumentation Gauges: SevenSegment (100% parity with WPF, 7-segment LED readout with color profiles), LinearGauge (horizontal/vertical thermometer), and RadialGauge (Bourdon tube dial).
• P&ID Vector Controls: IndustrialPump, IndustrialMotor, IndustrialFan, IndustrialHeater, ConveyorBelt, PneumaticCylinder, IndustrialSensor, IndustrialValve, Tank3D, PipeFlow.
• GanttChart & TreeList: Production scheduling timeline and virtual multi-level BOM tree with cascading tri-state checkboxes.
• ISA-18.2 Alarm Grid (AlarmGrid / ZeroAlarmGrid): Real-time alarm monitoring, state badges, and operator acknowledgment.
• 60 FPS Real-Time Trend Oscilloscope (TrendChart / ZeroTrendChart): Multi-channel real-time ring buffer plotting with limit lines (USL/LSL) and cursor crosshairs.

📊 Modern Business & Analytics Charts (ZeroUI.WinForms.Charts)

• ChartControl / ZeroChart: Universal multi-series chart engine with subpixel antialiasing, legends, and tooltips.
• BoxPlotChart / ZeroBoxPlotChart: Statistical SPC Box-and-Whisker quality inspection chart with USL/LSL limits.
• Column, Bar, Spline, Area, Pie, Donut, Candlestick, Radar, Funnel, and Waterfall charts with subpixel antialiasing and hover tooltips.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package ZeroUI.WinForms --version 1.10.0

🚀 Quick Example

using ZeroUI.WinForms.DataGrid;
using ZeroUI.WinForms.Validation;
using ZeroUI.WinForms.Theme;

// 1. Initialize Virtual Data Grid
var grid = new GridControl
{
    Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
    RowDensity = GridRowDensity.Normal
};

grid.Columns.Add(new GridColumn("ID", 70, CellAlignment.Right) { ColumnType = GridColumnType.Numeric });
grid.Columns.Add(new GridColumn("Item Code", 120, CellAlignment.Left));
grid.Columns.Add(new GridColumn("Quantity", 90, CellAlignment.Right) { ColumnType = GridColumnType.Numeric });

// 2. Attach Form Validation Provider
var validator = new ValidationProvider();
validator.SetRule(grid, new ValidationRule("GridData")
         .Custom(val => grid.RowCount > 0, "Grid must contain at least one item."));

this.Controls.Add(grid);
