Brilliant High DPI Rendering

Natively on 4K/8K

DirectX is a superior alternative to traditional WinForms GDI rendering. By moving to DirectX, DevExpress WinForms UI controls have achieved the highest possible performance and brilliant High DPI rendering quality. DirectX has also allowed us to blazingly improve scrolling speed, text rendering/text antialiasing, and animation quality.

The performance potential of a DirectX-powered WinForms UI component is most evident on high resolution displays, whereas DirectX easily maintains 60+ FPS. With DirectX, DevExpress WinForms UI Library including the Scheduler control remain fully responsive across a broad range of usage scenarios.

Resources & Event Grouping

Display multiple schedules simultaneously

Schedule Resources allow end-users to browse multiple calendars (for any entity such as an individual or office location, etc.) simultaneously. Once resources have been created, the scheduler will display multiple parallel timelines. Resource headers can display images and the same event can be assigned to multiple resources as needed.

We've made it easy for you and your users to Group events/appointments by resources. And just like Group by Resource, events/appointments can be grouped by date.
