    Why Better SplitButton?

    +

    The standard .NET ToolStripSplitButton is limited to toolbars and doesn't work as a standalone control. Better SplitButton fills this gap by providing a proper split-button control that can be placed anywhere on your form, with native Windows theme support and full customization options.

    + +

    Better SplitButton is free for non-commercial use. Commercial licenses include full source code and are very affordable.

    About Better SplitButton

    -
    -

    Better SplitButton is a free button-like control for .NET WinForms that you can start using immediately. It's similar to the regular button, but it includes a "split" part, which can display a dropdown menu once clicked. You can also set the button to be AlwaysDropDown, in such case, there is no separate split part (but the glyph arrow is still displayed), and clicking anywhere on the button will display the dropdown.

    -

    The dropdown menu is defined using the native .NET ContextMenuStrip component.

    -

    The installation package includes sample projects in both VB.net and C# to get you started immediately. It also includes Samples Explorer with some pre-built samples, so you can quickly see what it can do.

    -

    Better SplitButton is free for non-commercial use. Commercial use requires a license that we offer for a very affordable price. We supply source code with all commercial licenses.

    -
    - -

    How can SplitButtons improve your GUI

    -

    SplitButton is an invaluable control if you want to keep your GUI simple and intuitive. It is perfect for "hiding" non-standard or expert options that would complicate your GUI unnecessarily. It occupies the same real estate as a regular button, but can provide your users with far more options.

      - Activation issues and how to solve them -

      -

      Blog Post by Brian Galura published on Wednesday, 01 March 2017 in Better ListView, Components

      -
      -

      Dear Readers, periodically we get emails from users having problems with the activation. So we put together a check list on how to deal with the most frequent issues.

      -
        -
      1. Try to rebuild the project/solution
        2. -
      2. Restart Visual Studio if rebuilding the solution did not stop the nag screen
        3. -
      3. If you use Better ListView in a Class Library project, it should be referenced and activated in both, the main project and the Class Library project.
        4. -
      4. Do the main project (executable) and all referenced projects contain the licenses.licx file within the Properties folder?
        5. -
      5. The licenses.licx file should contain only a single reference to Better ListView with the current version number.
        6. -
      6. Run the Activator application (installed along with the product) and check if it displays a valid license.
        7. -
      7. You can try to finish the activation via the Activator app and then rebuild the main project.
        8. -
      8. Check, if the license-blv.dat file is present in the "C:\ProgramData\Component Owl\" folder after activation.
        9. -
      9. Check, if your projects reference the same version of Better ListView as the one that is installed.
        10. -
      10. The Better ListView has to be activated on each machine where it is built.

      Why is Better ListView the best ListView replacement component for .NET (C#, VB)?

      -
      -

      To put it simply, there is nothing like Better ListView out there. Nothing.

      -

      Better ListView has been designed as a component that can easily replace the original ListView control supplied with .NET. There is virtually no learning needed. It's just intuitive.

      -

      Better ListView looks native and always fully utilizes the current system theme (so there is no weird inconsistent look), and it also behaves exactly like it should. We've modeled it after the original list view component and the list view used in Windows Explorer — everyone already knows how to use it.

      -

      We put extreme attention to details. All the little quirks and nuances that drive us crazy when it comes to components of many smaller vendors are resolved in Better ListView. You will be amazed how flexible and customizable it is, and how great it feels to use it.

      -

      Most importantly, Better ListView is packed full of great features.

      -

      If you are wondering why we created Better ListView, you can read our story.
