when using Lumisoft’s UI Controls 0.11, developers can
choose from over a dozen basic flat controls and add
them to their Windows Forms applications. The library
includes the following controls:

· Label
· Button
· ToolBar
· EditBox
· SpinEdit
· ComboBox
· CheckBox
· PictureBox
· TabControl
· OutlookBar
· DateTimePicker

With this library, developers can quickly add controls
to their applications that would normally involve much
more work. For example, developers can take advantage
of ButtonEdit, which is the combination of an EditBox
and a Button. Other examples of controls this library
offers to developers include SpinEdit and OutlookBar
controls.

However, the library seems somewhat buggy. For
example, the code generated when dragging a control
(specifically, the wFrame type) onto a Form will not
compile: it inserts obsolete code that contains a
typographical error.

The controls can be configured using the Property tab
in Visual Studio .NET, but lack the more advanced
WYSIWYG design-time support offered by other control
libraries. The code of the library is written in C#.
The controls lack databinding capabilities. Some
properties don’t seem to have any effect. Limited to
one style, unlike other libraries. The toolbar cannot
float in applications; namely, it is not dockable.
