SandRibbon is a user interface suite designed to mimic the advanced controls seen in Microsoft Office 2007. Its features revolve around a Ribbon control, which presents a well-organised list of available commands, divided into logical groups with some groups displayed contextually. It is designed to plug in to your applications and serve as a replacement for the traditional menus and toolbars paradigm.

All major features of the Office 2007 user interface are made available through this library, and we provide many classes to make common tasks easier for document-oriented applications, as well as the user interface controls themselves. In this way we enable you to take advantage of such features as enhanced screentips, recently-used documents lists, rich popups, galleries, live preview, animations and many more. A lot of functionality, such as comprehensive keyboard access and true right-to-left reading order support, is enabled by default for all applications, requiring no extra work.

SandGrid is a powerful, versatile list control capable of displaying data in tabular and hierarchical form. It was designed from the ground up to support trees of items and to be truly extensible. Because of its special architecture it can be used as a powerful replacement for the ListView, TreeView and DataGridView controls bundled with .NET, offering more customization options and a consistent developer experience. It can be used standalone or bound to data. Nested grids are fully supported, and SandGrid will automatically discover related views when bound to data that supports them. Virtual rows help bridge the gap between your business objects and display.

Sorting and grouping are fully supported with fast algorithms that support both single and multi-column sorts. Specialized column types increase productivity by allowing easier control over data formatting at design time. Columns can be sized automatically or by the user, as can rows. Visual column and row reordering is also supported. An easy API to persist grid state is included.

Advanced menu designers let you view and manipulate your menu system in your container at design time just like you would at runtime. These powerful features allow you to add a rich, attractive toolbar/menu/statusbar system to your form in minutes.

Full design-time support is included of course, and working with the control at design time is much the same as working with it at runtime. As the navigation panes are selected, the client area of the control is updated to show their contents.
