Highlights

Easy Setup
Drop the C1InputPanel component on your form, connect to a data source, select the record set and an input control for each field is automatically created for you. All fields and corresponding labels are consistently aligned, and the tab-order is defined automatically. A navigation bar is also added to the form for end-users to navigate the record set at run time.

Automatic Tab Order
Make changes to your data form without worrying about restructuring the entire form – add controls and move them around on the form without throwing off the form’s structure. InputPanel for WinForms' automatic tab order makes this possible. At design time, InputPanel for WinForms automatically establishes the tab order. So at run time, end-users can tab from entry to entry for fast and friendly editing experience.

Adjust the Layout with One Property
You can effortlessly adjust the layout. By default, the data automatically flows from row to row. You can break the flow by setting just one property. For example, you can break the row to a two-column layout. By just modifying one property, the new layout shows two columns and the controls remain aligned. Without the flow management functionality provided in InputPanel for WinForms, you would have to individually move each control, and then realign the controls.

Accelerator Keys
When the form is populated with fields from a data source, accelerator keys are automatically generated. InputPanel provides a key accelerator editor to manage any newly added accelerators to fix any duplicates.
