Controls and Samples Overview

The development of Toolkit controls is a fundamental part of the Microsoft Health CUI Programme. The Toolkit controls developed for this release conform to the recommendations contained in the Design Guidance documents. You can ensure your own clinical applications conform to the Design Guidance by using these Toolkit controls and samples.

The Controls and Samples are updated regularly. See the Change Record – Guidance and Controls and the Releases page on the CodePlex site for a list of the controls and samples updated in April 2008.

Controls

The Controls section contains examples of the individual Toolkit controls. The controls are demonstrated and their properties described. Relevant additional information and code snippets are also included.

Note: As detailed in the Architecture section, controls created prior to this release were created using ASP.NET AJAX and .NET WinForms, whereas controls created for this and future releases will use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight. While this Website demonstrates the Silverlight and WebForms controls, you need to install the Toolkit from CodePlex to access the WPF and WinForms controls.

Samples

The Samples section provides examples of the controls in specific scenarios and demonstrates how different controls can be combined and different styling applied.
