Spread makes it easy to create a prototype quickly or to customize your finished designs using the built-in Designers and Wizards.
Spread Designer
You can quickly design a spreadsheet component using the Spread Designer.
Whether you are prototyping a complete spreadsheet component or simply customizing some aspect of an existing spreadsheet component, the dedicated graphical interface offers many features to save time and effort. It also provides a way for you to add data to and set properties for the component, including properties that are not available at design time in Visual Studio.
You can set both design-time and run-time properties. In most cases you can preview changes before applying them to the spreadsheet. Once all the changes are made, you apply the changes to the spreadsheet component on your form.
With the Spread Designer, customizations can be made quickly and easily. Spread Designer lets you make just about any customization to the spreadsheet component as well as add shapes to improve the user interface. There are dozens of built-in shapes and the ability to customize them.
The Spread Designer also allows you to save your work to a file and share that file with others or use it as a template. You can save your design as a file and open files of previous work or from another team member from within Spread Designer.
Spread Quick Start Wizard
New in Spread for Windows Forms 5! The Spread Quick Start Wizard lets you quickly set up your Spread component from within Visual Studio through a familiar “right-click” menu.
Use the Spread Quick Start wizard to set up many features of your control, including data binding, headers and footers, grouping and titles, columns, the scroll bar and tab strip settings, and the operation mode for handling selections. The wizard steps you through each set up process, and then applies your settings to the control when you are finished.
Chart Designer
Design charts with an easy-to-use WYSIWYG interface, then apply them to your Spread component or save them to XML.
Use the Chart Designer to create your charts and view them in a graphical environment.
