FerretLib.WinForms

WinForms controls, helpers etc.

Will gradually move relevant code from individual projects to here. Current requirement is .Net Framework 3.5. I'll try to keep requirements to a minimum but can't see it going any lower than 3.5.

UPDATE: now available as a Nuget package (27-Feb-2014). Will try to keep it updated but if you notice it significantly lagging behind the GitHub repo please let me know.

Controls

• TagList A control intended for displaying and editing tag lists as commonly used for things like blog posts.

• ResourceFontLoader Helper class for loading fonts embedded as resources in your .exe Currently broken because of a .Net Framework bug which has been reported and gone unfixed since .Net 2.0 - do not count on this working any time soon

• ColorPicker An alternative to the ColorDialog for choosing colours based on ARGB values.

TODO

• Configure allow duplicate tags
• Read-only mode (don't display tag input, process edit events etc)
• Autocomplete / tag suggestions
• More UI polish (hover effects, better transparency etc)
• Draw tags from scratch (minimal/no bitmap resources)
• Look and feel customisation (font, size, colour etc)
• Alternate colour format support (eg HSL)
