DevExpress and Mono

created 9 years ago

After Microsoft purchased Xamarin, do you plan to port DX WinForms components to Mono? At least such popular as Grid and TreeList.

Thanks.

The DevExpress WinForms control make use of Win32 API functions that are not supported by Mono. The do offer a free GridControl for Xamarin forms, however.

      10 years with the same history, DevExpress WinForms controls make use of Win32 API methods which are not supported by the MONO framework.

        I have no control over that, I'm not a DevExpress employee. I'm simply re-iterating what is the case. To change this would be a major overhaul of many products that are using Win32 methods such as the XtraReports MAPI integration or XtraEditor mouse & keyboard hooks.

          For instance, see this compatibility report for a few DevExpress assemblies and you will see that it is a large undertaking to keep the existing functionality while removing any dependencies on Windows APIs.
