SandDock is our award-winning window management software that enables dockable window and tabbed document functionality in applications that use it. The version for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is able to leverage new technology to provide more visual features than its Windows Forms counterpart, such as smoothly animated transitions and 3D window switching - like the Flip-3D feature from Microsoft Windows Vista. With Visual Studio 2008 comes a designer for WPF, and SandDock takes full advantage of this to provide unparalleled designer support. At design-time you can create windows and interactively dock and tab them around your layout just like you can at runtime, and watch as your XAML code is updated automatically.
Broadly designed to mimic the user interface capabilities of Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, by plugging SandDock into your application you can forget about the intricacies of window layout - instead, provide your windows to SandDock and let it present them with all the Tools your users need for customization of the working area. Tool windows become dockable, sticking to the sides of your window in hierarchies chosen visually by the user, or they can be floated above your main window. Documents are presented in a tabbed fashion, with split views for easy comparison between content, or in a traditional multiple document interface (MDI) layout.
An advanced window layout engine would not be complete without a persistance mechanism, and SandDock makes this easy. Storage of window layout from one application session to the next is exposed by simple APIs that can also be used to split your application into multiple view states. Hooks are available for more control over the window docking process, and rules can be set by the developer to determine what the user can do with any given window. The API is extremely easy to use.
The extensibility support built into the library ensures that certain behaviours, such as the interface for switching between active windows using the keyboard, are fully configurable by the developer. In fact, by using the extensive theming and styling support built into WPF, the complete look and feel of SandDock components can be changed. This extensibility allows you to tailor the SandDock tools to your specific needs and in demonstrated in the included application.

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.
Along with the top-level controls in the suite, there is a manager component that helps tie your interface together for consistency and ease of development. We also provide the RibbonForm class so you can choose to have your applications adopt the new custom shaped windows.
SandRibbon has accessibility built in to it from the ground up. We automatically adjust the look of the controls for high-contrast and high-DPI modes, and support for right-to-left reading order is pervasive throughout the product. We support the Active Accessibility APIs so that your application will be accessible by people who rely on screen readers or magnifiers. Like the Office UI, elements are smoothly scrolled to expose children that would otherwise have been clipped due to screen real estate. All these features work automatically, requiring no extra development.
SandDock is a powerful window layout and management engine designed to quickly and easily add advanced document paging and dockable windows functionality to your applications. Its Components provide a modern replacement for the standard Windows MDI paradigm and an advanced dockable windows system that supports complex layout systems, collapsible control groups and intuitive redocking tools.
The unparalleled design-time support of SandDock means it only takes a few clicks of the mouse to get dockable windows set up and working in your form. All the hard work is taken care of, leaving you to configure your GUI the best way possible - visually. You can perform window docking at design time just like you can at runtime, making SandDock the easiest tool of its kind to configure and integrate.
Like our other products, SandDock has a fully pluggable rendering engine. Every part of the drawing process can be completely taken over for maximum flexibility. SandDock ships with four renderers, that mimic the appearance of Visual Studio 2003, Office 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and Office 2007. Each renderer has a range of color schemes that can be applied.
Using the newer tabbed MDI interface is a great lightweight alternative to traditional MDI applications. Documents can still be rearranged and split in almost any way thinkable to ensure that the greatest flexibility of presentation is achieved. This new paradigm is used by applications such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to manage its windows, and is quickly gaining momentum as the standard to replace traditional MDI.
The SandDock library is small, lightweight and fast. It has a powerful and robust object model that exposes a simple and friendly API so that taking programmatic control of your windows is easy. Under the surface it is possible to achieve granular control over every window setting and allow the user to rearrange as much or as little of your interface as you like.
