Versatile Expand/Collapse Container
Make the most of precious screen real estate. The stylishly collapsible containers
in the WebEssentials WebExpander and WebAccordion controls make organizing even
the lengthiest and most complex content a snap.
Beneath its graceful exterior, WebAccordion gives you the power of total configuration.
Change the expansion direction and orientation, decorate headers with text and/or
images, host content directly or use IFrame mode to dynamically import it from an
external source, and
much more.
Like its sibling, WebExpander offers two distinct expansion modes: Fixed and Flow.
In Fixed mode, users can expand only a single item – expanding another item will
close the current one. In the unique Flow mode, an unlimited number of items can
be expanded simultaneously. Learn more.
User-friendly Data Entry Controls
Need a sophisticated rating system for the new corporate blog? A powerful calendar
for forum entry navigation? Or just a friendly, uncomplicated date selection control?
Whether your goal is ease of use or range of features, the sophisticated rating,
calendar, slider, and list box controls in the new WebEssentials suite have the
perfect solution to your data entry dilemma.
Move beyond ordinary rating controls with WebRating. This powerful rating component
lets your users rate Web content in three elegant styles, while taking care of the
work for you. Fully customizable precision levels support rating values in 1/8 increments,
giving the typical 5-star rating system an unprecedented 40 possible values. Integrated
postback mode lets you quickly and easily connect your code to process the returned
ratings. XHTML ready, and featuring a rich client-side API and event set, WebRating
is a truly extraordinary rating component. Learn more.
A superbly versatile Web 2.0 calendar widget, WebCalendar is the perfect calendar-based
navigation and input control. Users can switch between month, quarter, and year
views with just a single click of the header. Another quick click selects a date,
while a simple click and drag makes date range selection a breeze. A complete set
of client-side events and a comprehensive API make it easy to capture and process
user selections, or link them directly to a text box for display. The innovative
Holiday feature allows custom-defined holidays to be color-coded and include descriptive
tooltips. Learn more.
When you need numeric user input within a defined range of values, let WebSlider
handle the job for you. Users can simply grab and slide the handle to select a precise
value – but that’s just the beginning. The dual rails feature provides two handles
on a single slider, making range selection a snap. This flexible powerhouse offers
a variety of slider types, themes, and countless customizations. Learn more.
More than a simple listbox, WebListBox does double-duty as both an input and a navigation
control. As an input control, this elegant and versatile component fully supports
complex multiple selection of text and graphic list items in a wide variety of visually
stunning styles. As a navigation control, it enables you to configure each list
item to open a unique URL in a designated target window. A sophisticated data binding
feature provides seamless connectivity to your existing data. Learn more.
Intuitive Navigation Control
Navigation plays a vital role in every Web-based application, and requires careful
planning and thoughtful design. Let WebSlidingMenu bring those designs to life,
and provide the ultimate Web navigation experience for your users.
WebSlidingMenu lets you build powerful and sophisticated menu systems with point-and-click
convenience. Connect to XML data with ease through the feature-packed data binding
editor. Even with highly complex data structures, the intelligent Load-on-Demand
mechanism maintains peak performance levels.
Let your creativity loose. Far more than a simple navigation control, WebSlidingMenu
opens up endless possibilities – such as a distinctive Q&A section that reveals
answers with an ultra-cool sliding animation effect. Full inline template and IFrame
support lets you host a limitless variety of content. Learn more.
Progress Indicator
At the heart of AJAX technology is the concept of partial page refreshes, in which
only the required data is transferred between client and server. Leverage that concept
to its fullest with the WebProgressBar, and let your users visually track the progress
of data in transit.
A wide range of predefined styles enables you to seamlessly integrate the WebProgressBar
with your Web application in just a few mouse clicks. Its superior rendering technology
displays true rounded corners regardless of the browser used. WebProgressBar can
also be positioned either horizontally or vertically, letting you make the most
of valuable screen real estate. Learn more.
