Quick Start

This quick start familiarizes you with adding and displaying data to the InputPanel control using list. You begin with creating a WPF application in Visual Studio, adding the InputPanel control to it, creating a list of items, and binding it to InputPanel.

To create a simple WPF application for adding and displaying data in the InputPanel control, complete the following steps:

Setting up the application
Adding and displaying data in InputPanel

The following image shows a record displayed in the C1InputPanel control.

Setting up the application

Create a WPF project in Visual Studio.
Add the InputPanel control to the XAML designer and set the name of the control to 'InPanel'.
Notice that along with C1.WPF.InputPanel, the following references automatically get added to the application.
- C1.WPF
- C1.WPF.DateTimeEditors

Adding and displaying data in InputPanel

Switch to the code view and add a class, Customer, to define data.

Add the following code to create an enumeration and add properties to the class.

Visual Basic
C#
