These are tree-based, interface-structured hierarchies of predefined controls that can be docked, floated or redocked with visual feedback at run or design time. The unique layout system helps you model any complex structure in just a few lines of code.

Command Bars

Nevron User Interface provides you with distinguishable and stylish menus and toolbars, which are created entirely from scratch. All commands share a common object model, which makes it easy for a command to be visualized by any parent. The rich design-time support enables you to easily create modern MS Office 2003-like menus and toolbars with dock/undock capabilities.
