Tile-Based Navigation Pane

Inspired by Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Designed to be positioned at the top of your application window (like a Ribbon), the WinForms Tile Navigation Pane can be thought of as a touch-friendly version of traditional navigation elements used within Windows desktop or touch-enabled hybrid apps. With our WinForms TileNav Pane, you and your end-users are able to:

  • Navigate the app's structure much like our Outlook-inspired Navigation Bar.
  • Introduce animations within the NavPane using our Transition Manager Control.
  • Quickly determine where the user is within the application's navigation hierarchy.
  • Display and activate a drop down menu with sub nodes for each Tile.
  • Fully customize individual Tiles and associated drop down menus.
  • Use custom Tile buttons and custom category buttons.

  • Customize the appearance of individual Tile items.
  • Built-in glyph skinning.

Testing Support

The DevExpress Universal Subscription includes built-in support for Microsoft's CodedUI. Unlike many vendors claiming support for Coded UI through the simple use of MSAA, DevExpress controls go the extra mile to make certain that individual controls fully comply with Microsoft's testing framework. We don't simply support Coded UI; we support it to the maximum extent possible. Note: CodedUI support requires purchase of the DevExpress Universal Subscription. Learn more about Coded UI

MVVM Framework

The DevExpress MVVM Framework ships with features that are absent in WinForms, but essential to MVVM development. These missing features include bindings, commands, UI triggers, behaviors etc. Our Framework includes all of these along with a straightforward API to make WinForms app development more efficient.
