ComponentOne Input™ for WinForms includes eight components; each brings its own set of unique features.
C1TextBox adds strong typing, enhanced data binding, powerful formatting, masked editing, numeric input capability, and more to the standard EditBox. C1DateEdit adds date/time specific input functionality, and a drop-down calendar for convenient date selection. C1NumericEdit provides a built-in drop-down calculator. C1DropDownControl allows you to build your own specialized drop-down or modal editors. C1DbNavigator provides a ready-made VCR-type control panel for your data. C1Label and C1PictureBox provide data binding for read-only data. All components in the suite support attractive predefined visual styles, and a styled C1Button is provided so that your application can look consistently professional throughout.
Input for WinForms Features

Universal .NET Data Binding
Input for WinForms can universally bind to any .NET data source, including ADO.NET data source objects and ComponentOne DataObjects™ for .NET components, with little or no code at all.
Culture-dependent Input & Presentation
Data formatting and validation as well as input parsing and masked editing are culture-specific.
